1.) PA is way better than any TV announcer
2.) I'd much rather be outside in the fall than on the couch
3.) Musky fishing is awesome
4.) Because I can

That's all fine and good, but what I'm saying is the Vikings are only on 16 times a year for only 3 hours at a time. And these games are scheduled ahead of time lol. Fishing can't get penciled in at any other time? And are you saying PA can describe a better game to your brain than your eyes? I don't care who's announcing, nothing beats what I can see with my own 2 eyes lol. I would watch the game on mute whenever Dan Dierdorf was announcing.

Yep, I'm impressed with the intensity too, but I'm a little concerned about the lack of takeaways so far. Only 1 INT and 1 sack fumble recovered by Arizona so far? That was the main thing I hated about Fraziers defense, the lack of turnovers it created. But it's still early, and for the most part the defense has been getting to the ball so I think the turnovers will come.

Offense looks good. Game changes quite a bit when AP is in. Norv will put the guys in the right position.

Defense looks much improved. I don't think Zimmer will expose our true colors until the regular season. That being said, I think we should be very happy with what we are seeing. Guys are getting to the QB.

Think about it this way. The first team defense has played roughly 3 quarters of football. In that time they have given up 14 points. Granted the end of the first half they gave up 7 to AZ mostly second team offense. But it still took that second team 4 tries from the MN 3 yard line to do it. In my mind that is pretty good. Still a work in progress, they should get better as the year goes on.
