Must have been amazing. Plus you got to see Moss inducted.
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.
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.

Haha I was right with you on that one
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.
