Can you believe it? We actually WON because of a missed field goal...that's sure not what usually happens!

Thought they played pretty solid the whole game through. The running game needs some work...I'm not sure how I feel about Chester Taylor yet. They certainly are giving him enough chances to prove himself!

This better be the last time Troy Williamson lets two passes slip through his fingers in one game...he's being given his chance, he needs to step up. I'll chalk it up to nerves and hop it doesn't happen next week...

Man, Williamson ticked me off early. I needed him for my fantasy team!

But, Brad looked sharp.

Taylor looked very effective against a pretty good run defense.

Ooooh, you have Williamson for your fantasy team? That would've ticked me off last night, too.

I have him on several of my fantasy teams, including my pay league, which I lost by .25 *BLEEP* points!

Woo Hoo! Go Vikes!
It may not be pretty, but it's a 'W'!

The actually ran a trick play that worked...that's just pure craziness!

2-0 is a great start especially since both victories were over supposed "playoff teams". Now if we can just handle our selves in the North and sweep the Packers and Lions that is 6 wins without even trying. Beware the blue-violet people eaters!!!

Childress is the first coach for the Vikings to ever start out 2-0, including Bud Grant. I'm trying so hard to keep my hopes in check, but I'm so excited by what I'm seeing so far!

Now if they would just pay Brad Johnson what he's worth so that we can keep him around for another year or so to take Tarvarus under his wing...

I - being a self proclaimed Vikings cynic - am thrilled about the start.

Although Childress is the first new coach to be 2-0, how many of those new coaches took over teams with a winning record?

Sorry, I just can't keep my cynicism in check

And, I can't get over how Childress looks EXACTLY like Mr. Noodle from Elmo's World

well, let's not get carried away with the 2-0 start either, though they were good wins, it's not like the Vikes just came out and dominated the other teams.

Rally around the violet blue people, this team has playoff potential. The defense is outstanding and Johnson does well not to lose us games.

Did you happen to see any of the Gophers / Bison game? We were in Fargo on Saturday at TGI Friday's watching the last half of that game. Good game but didn't dare cheer for the Gophers.

hey, i looked at the schedule last night, the Vikes should be favored in all but maybe 2 games the rest of the way. And a 9-1 finish is not out of the realm of possibility to finish 13-3. Who would have thought???

Based on this reasoning, I’m going to start a thread about having nice smelling breath, an endless supply of beer, a wife who can cook and a dog that doesn’t bite.

I just know this will all come true then.

After thinking this over I don’t think a new thread would help with my dilemma.

I’ve come to realize four very important rules of the universe:

1.There is no amount of mouthwash in the world that will completely eliminate a combination of beef jerky, pork rinds and hard boiled eggs from one’s breath.

2.I can’t find Blatz anywhere so my quest for an endless supply of beer will be cut short.

3.No matter how lovingly I try to help, the wife will never get the hang of even boiling water.

4.The dog is just plain evil.

Peeps...
Don't knock the wife for her inability to cook.
Perhaps it's just part of her master plan.
It's been mine for years.

And it's worked great, I might add.

I watched through the 3rd Qtr and felt like *I* had been hit by a Mack Truck (and I didn't get the license plate either)

I still like the Vikes! My brother and I had a rival going when I was younger. He always stood by his Team!

Vikes fans are used to getting hit by a Mack Truck at least a couple times every season...yet we all stick around, year after year, truck after truck

My debit card is Vikings themed (my prior bank is one of their sponsors), and I actually got laughed at this morning while I was filling my gas tank.

Maybe it was the driver of last night's truck?
