The Vikings, on the other hand, should have no such problem. While the Bengals were #12 in the league in total yards allowed in 2008, they were 21st against the run. They were also a blistering 1-7 on the road. There are no easy wins in the National Football League. . .but I would be pretty surpris...

Written by Bob Sansevere
Vikings win, 28-27. The Packers opened the game with a three-and-out. And the Vikings got lucky. On third down, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers missed a wide-open Jordy Nelson. The Vikings got a nice return into Packers territory by Charles Gordon.

Opinion: Vikings Shoot Themselves in Both Feet

Written by Ryan Rust
The Vikings will, hopefully, be able to re-focus and shake this loss before next week’s Monday night game at the Superdome. If they can eliminate the mental errors and play relatively penalty-free football, they have a good chance of winning the game.

Opinion: First-Round Draft Pick Scenarios

What's even more unfortunate is that the Vikings, thanks to Brad Childress' infinite stubbornness and inability to evaluate the progress of his players, don't currently HAVE anything better at the quarterback position to turn to. There's absolutely no point in playing Kelly Holcomb...
