They gave everyone signs that spelled Randy Moss on the sideline and 84 in the end zone. Wasn't perfect but pretty cool. Moss seemed really appreciated.

Sam 27/32 for 346 yards :thumbsup:

Thielen & Diggs nice game!

Cook impressive in his debut.

Wayne's had 9 tackles

AP = All Pout tonight...18 yards rushing.

Complete game on both sides of the ball.

I know!

*whispers*

Rookie AD would've housed it

I'm still bummed at AD's last few years. We were robbed. Glad we have Cook but the memberberries are potent you guys.

I wonder if Rodney Adams gets cut for Floyd, seems like Coley has surpassed him on the depth chart.

This was huge. Good on Reiff. Let's hope it continues. He was a major reason why Sam balled out.

Bradford's 143.0 QB rating is a career high.

Great way to start.
I was much more impressed with the D tonight, especially the run D. Pretty much dominated a known commidity in the Saints offense...specifically in the red zone.

Hard to know yet about the Vikes offense due to the Saints having a suspect D. I'm not expecting Sam having 3full seconds to throw to be a regular event, although it could be.
The line played fundamentally well, i didn't notice much in the way of guys just whiffing on their assignments as was fairly normal that past couple seasons.
Bradford showed what he can do when he can breathe back there. I hope this puts some of the doubts to rest, he's a really capable QB.
Cook was a steal. He looks like he can do it all.
Pittsburgh will be a much more reliable litmus test, and it's good they took care of a team they should've beat at home, picking up that momentum and confidence.

I can't stop watching the highlights on Vikings.com.

It's been so long since we had anything resembling an explosive offense. I honestly don't know how to react except to keep watching like some obsessed 40-year-old hermit living in his mother's basement.

Thank you for the Treadwell insight. I think the kid needs to get in Bradford's face more. Let your QB know that the Vikings drafted him in the first round for a reason.

Great game. I have no problem eating crow if I was wrong about saying this team looked like last year's team. However Bradford is still getting smack around immediately after he releases the ball. He has never shown he can go a full season taking those types of shots.

It's hard, though, when you look SO BAD during preseason. I was truly concerned about this offense. Never expected a 470-yard explosion, even against the Saints' defense.
