Gaaaaaaaaaaah Ponder. Just when ya think he might be halfway decent this year, he goes out and has this terrible game. Thank god we still beat the crappy Cardinals in spite of him. Would have been devastating to lose this game at home.

But we are amazingly 5-2, which I just can't hardly even fathom. I am really liking Harrison Smith. We haven't had a good safety in forever.

And of course AP, Percy, and Care Blair Walsh are all huge studs as well. Our O&D Lineman all played really well too.

Great win. Too bad for playoffs that our schedule gets insanely brutal after like week 12.

The Vikings aren't even halfway through the season and already have more W's than a lot of people predicted. Our D line is beastley - solid at every spot. Our O line has performed average at worst. Harvin is a top 5ish wideout, and AP still might be the best RB in the whole land. Kluwe & Walsh are beyond solid, and our general game management has been surprisingly good. Ponder has had a few great games and a few stinkers, but overall he has still been better than expected (not yesterday). Basically everything has gone better than planned! But since it is the Vikings, I am wary to get too optimistic. Loved winning that Vikings & the Under parlay yesterday though. 5-2, Skol Vikings!

Wowowowowwow the Vikes! They struggled more than I had expected against the shytty Cardinals (no thanks to you Pondexter!) But a win is a win, and we are rolling. AP, Percy, Rudolph, Care Blair, Kluwe, D-line... all huge STUDZ! I never expected we'd be this good in a kajillion billion years. And if we wouldn't have blown that Colts game we'd be 6-1!

Man though, our schedule gets insane brutal starting in week 12, which sucks. There's maybe an outside chance at playoffs (mind = blown!), but I'm not getting my hopes up for it. Still, this has already been a vastly more successful season than I would have guessed or predicted. Well done Vikes.

Just to get this out: the loss at home against tampa will be the game that costs us the postseason. Just saying.

Obviously, hoping I'm wrong.

Yea I think it's the start of a trend. This is the real Vikings team. The 2nd half schedule is much harder than we've had so far.

And here's your weekly recap. Good stuff:

Definitely don't like our chances against the Seahawks in Seattle. They are like unstoppable at home. We have the hardest schedule of any team here on out for the rest of the season. This week is the beginning of the end for us.

Bahaha Ponder sucks so bad. I can't believe they still let him play. 62 YARDS PASSING! That's only 30 more passing yards than Sidney Rice had on one throw.

I full expect this team to end up 5-11, with 10 straight losses to close out the season. Al least Spielman and Frazier will hopefully get fired and the Ponder era will mercifully be over.

AP is still beastin. 182 yards rushing and still in the lead for the rushing title! The rest of the team had like 90 yards combined.

Freakin Ponder. He sucks so much. He's back to his shit-tastic self after his somewhat decent start to the season against those crappy teams. So much for us having a QB. And of course our defense is a mirage that still sucks as well.

I feel bad for AP and Harvin.

That was awesome when Percy was yelling at Frazier on the sideline. No doubt it was about how much Ponder sucks and cant get a pass within 5 yards of the receiver.

Vikings owned the Lions again. AP is the man. Pretty standard stuff.

AP is freakin amazing. My favorite Minnesota athlete by far.

Scary how much better he is running now than when he was simply good to start the year. Any one normal, or human, would be wearing down 9 weeks into all these carries, but AP just keeps looking better.

Maybe it's wrong, but it's changed my stance with Rubio that he should just wait as long as possible to return. It sounds like he is working hard now, so hopefully he is about a month out. Maybe Dec 20 home game vs. Thunder. That would give him only 4 more games that are spread out in Dec. with 3 at home.
