Why would you build a billion dollar stadium facing east and west, with windows to shine the sun in your QB's eyes every other quarter? Its because you have a 100yd HD screen for the fans to watch the game on and you don't want to deal with the glare on the screen. The Death Star is a joke, Victori...

You have to wonder how much leeway a designer has to work with when putting a retractable roof on a stadium. In the Vikings' case the orientation of the stadium itself is set in stone. That's the single biggest factor affecting shadows and I doubt that it could be moved more that a couple of degree...

During most of the third quarter there was a sun glare that was getting into the giants eye. After the third the sun set enough so it wasn't a problem for the Cowboys. Not only for the players, but for spectators it looks terrible. There are extremely bright areas juxtaposed to dark shadows--not un...

Did we hire the architects that designed "Jerry World" and whatever the Colts call their stadium (Lucas Oil?). I'm watching the Cowboys game right now and man is the light annoying in that stadium. How can you spend a billion dollars and get that wrong? Sure hope they don't make the same m...

I hear you, but if the D gives up 36 or 38 I take it as a given that we'll lose. Our O looked decent in those 5 wins, but not explosive enough to put up 40 plus points. That was my point.

That is the question to ask. Many fans have been focused on the offensive woes, but our D has allowed 38, 14 and 36 points the last three games.

I watched this game in a half assed way (while drinking beer and playing pong with my buds) so my opinion isn't worth much... but it looked to me like the Bucs simply played great and we were not on our game. Some of their TDs were just amazing plays--not bad D at all. The Viking's record makes them...

Hey Guys, I'm a Big time Bills fan, with season tickets up here in Buffalo, NY. However, I grew up a Bills fan per my Father. When Fran Tarkenton was traded to the Vikings, my dad converted to the Vikings back in 1972. I have always followed the Vikings as my second team, and will root for them aga...

I think it stems more from the fact that EVERY team has poor protection from time to time - some more than others but every OL breaks down multiple plays per game. The question then becomes "what does your QB do next?" A toss out of bounds when no one is open NEVER gets discussed the next...

I'm not sure whey everyone is so down on the coaching performance today. It seems to me that coaching played a pretty substantial role in the game. There were some questionable playcalling choices but preparation and game-planning made a real difference in this win. The Vikes neutralized Larry Fitz...

As ugly as it was offensively, it was a pretty satisfying win defensively. Robinson was getting after it today. He and Allen are becoming mirror images as their 69 and 96 jersey numbers indicate. Smith had a great run back on that pick. Antoine played another solid game. Greenway had some nice plays...

It won't be fun. Just like the 2010 NFC Championship game wasn't fun. Misery start to finish, at least for me. Not to sound morbid, but the Vikings HAVE to win a Super Bowl in my dad's lifetime. It is something that needs to happen. I'd give both my arms for it. My dad isn't that old, so they've go...

5. TIE: Two-Minute Tommy, Anthony Carter, Steve Jordan, Studwell and Joey Browner. I was younger when they all played so they are in a blurry mish-mash in my mind. Actually, my absolute favorite was Coach Jerry Burns. That guy was hilarious.

There is quite a thriving American ex-pat community here, and we occasionally get together to watch the games, but it's on DirecTV, which is the standard way people get lots of channels here. I know of Bears/Giants/Chiefs/Lions fans, but haven't met any other Vikings fans. I suppose I should check ...

I was thinking the same thing!
