I don't know about that really. I think this will really let us see the passing game get going. We beat both the eagles and lions at the end of last year without both Peterson and Gerhart, so it's not like we haven't done it before.
31-13 Pats, I was liking our chances of an upset prior today... Now not so much. Gotta be a huge emotional letdown IMO losing the face of the franchise to this.
Ok, so Adrian's down for a while most likely. Did we not keep McKinnon? Asiata is good, but I think McKinnon could put a spark in our run game and be unexpected by the Pats.
Our D will still be busy, keeping the Brady Bunch in line will be a good test, and they would have to do that whether #28 plays or not.
Rise above this, y'all. Not just us on the board, but our TEAM!

The night before the game against the Rams I had a dream that they blew us out, which we all know we ended up blowing them out. Last night I had the same dream about the Pats blowing us out. So will we blow them out? Who knows, but I would love to see it happen. Go Vikes
I feel like winning this game could be really important to our team. Our fan base always expects the next bad thing, and if we could go to 2-0 while dropping the best team of the past 15 years to 0-2, it might ease a bit of the anxiety we all feel and springboard to us having REAL faith in the team.

Fiesta - Masterful! I didn't think it was possible to laugh right now, but you succeeded.
Prediction: We looked pretty darn good in the pre-season (I know it's 'pre-season,' but still...) without Peterson. I still say we got this. 24-21 Vikes.
I've told people a million times not to exaggerate!
Tomorrows game will set the tone for the rest of the season. If we can still win or at least make it very close, we're in business. If not, we're done.
When you're born, you get a ticket to the freak show. When you're born in America, you get a front row seat.
I am trying to get pumped for the game, and forget about Adrian .. I like our chances to put up a strong fight and keep the game competitive .. I don't know what the score will be, but I am afraid we will lose.
A win would be HUGE though. I am really hoping for it.

Ryan Wendell out increases the likelihood of Jordan Devey being in, which is fantastic news for #Vikings fans.
Our D line has a chance to really get things going in this game. If they don't, then last week may have just been lucky with the QB situation the rams had.
