I agree. This injury is of a whole new level of seriousness. His youth definitely is a positive factor in his rehabilitation. I was very anxious to see what he could've done here also. But on a more positive note, GO VIKINGS!l

Not sure if this has been posted yet.

Guess which team is Ranked 13 after 4 weeks into the season? The love for Green Bay still continues (probably in deference to the loss against Seattle that wasn't) but I still think the Bears should be above the Packers even if both were 3-1. Time will tell...

The thing that sticks out to me now that I have read articles, thought about games, rewatched segments of them, is how much pressure our D line and even just our front 4 are getting. Lots of hurries, hits and 7 sacks from them. Really takes the pressure off our secondary and linebackers in coverage to see the Vikings get that much pressure with just 4 man looks.

The best examples of this are the 49ers but especially the Lions game.

Edit: I don't see why the Packers are a top 5 team (5) when they've gone 3-4 in their last 7 games and needed a ton of charity to beat a quite frankly one dimensional and poor Saints team at home. The also lost by 8 points to a team their NFC North rivals, the Minnesota Vikings, defeated rather handily. Green Bay also
has a mediocre offensive line that has allowed 18 sacks in their last 4 games and along with overall lack of talent is why the Packers have such piss poor production from their running backs. Top 5, I wouldn't even say they are the best team in their division right now.

Wait until the Colts beat them on Sunday. Then they will drop.

Thought this is appropriate to put here.

Healthy roster among wealth of good fortune for 4-1 Vikings

A number of teams have been hit hard by injuries, but the Vikings have been spared.

I chose the Spielman answer.... but really. Here is my reasoning. Moral was low after 09. That season was a sucker punch to the nutz. Older players didn't care as much. Newer players follow the lead of the Veterans. Then this offseason brought hope. New stadium, new top tier rookies. A quarterback who has proven in both Highschool/college/and now the NFL that his Freshmen season should be no indicator of how he'll play in his Sophomore season. .... Attitudes changed. Smiles were once again seen in the locker room. Real smiles. Smiles from Men who knew they had a real shot. Underdogs in a Division that didn't favor them. They were the team the media viewed as basement dwellars. High Fives ensued. Echos of "lets prove them wrong" were heard....... The Minnesota Vikings, The cinderella story of the 2012 season has begun. Skol.
