Let's start with: I hope he can play. It's only 4 days away, after all.

Great win for the Vikes today!

With the way Rodgers lit up Chicago today, I'm concerned as to what he will do against our defense Thursday, especially if we can't get any more pressure on him than what we did on Ryan today.

Here i was beginning to feel like someone dumped a big load of fairly tepid, kinda runny, rhino squat on my head and da Vikes come to the rescue and cover me with a stout umbrella. Lovely damn game.

Please don't say that... I don't think I can watch Ponder lose another game to the Packers.

Right. No way in hell we can win with Ponder at QB. Maybe with Wright though.

Great win... game balls to Bridgewater, Wright and Norv Turner, who came up with a great game plan.

That was a hard-fought effort and a much-needed victoey. The Vikes rediscovered their running game. they need to keep that up.

I loved seeing two players who have been catching some flack, Wright and Asiata, step up. I also loved Zimmer's decision to go for it on 4th down and score a TD when they really needed one too.

I wasn't expecting that offensive explosion. I hope they saved some for Thursday. They'll probably need it.

GO VIKES!

I'm pretty happy about being 2-2 right now. As long as Teddy is healthy we should be in contention for a playoff spot. After the GB game, the rest of the schedule isn't bad at all.
