What's up Vike Fans!

I am not big on pre-seasons. Don't get me wrong I watch all the games and I enjoy the new faces competing, I like the story lines, the players who shine and the busts... But I don't like to "read" to far into things. I don't waste my time trying to figure out who the 6 or 7 WR is gonna be... I'll just wait until they make the cuts an even then, I won't talk about it. There are enough rubes out there discussing all that. I won't even sit here and regurgitate all the stuff we've already heard DURING the games as well or on kfan. You guys already know I am glad to have McNabb and have high expectations of him.

Any real fan Vikes has the same questions on their mind, at least through the Dallas pre season game.... ( Oh I told my boy Old dirty I'd post a link to the highlights... here ya go and here's the presser)

1. What up w/ Toby G? Did he lose a spot in the pecking order?
2. Is Shanks gonna be this years RICE, hamstring? really? ugh!
3. Who's number 87 that caught that dope post route? BERRIAN? oh, right. He's still here
   
4. Does anyone else have a man crush on BOOKER?
5. Is K Williams P F...itis gonna be the second coming of Wally Sczerbiak?
6. How sick is AP looking right now can we start the season today?!
7. When is the shoe gonna drop? things are too calm and collected right now

That's what I wonder at least. I don't think Toby is losing anything so much as booker is gaining reps, we've seen a lot more of Toby, there is less to evaluate. As far as Shanks goes Idk if he'll ever be as good as he was with Favre 1. He's consistently underachieved. I hope Berrian can stay healthy and stretch defenses. JENKINS has good hands and instincts and can BLOCK love him. I hope K Wills injury heals up and heals for good... I don't want a gimpy DT all season! AP looks amazing, and I never say amazing... I hope we can give him holes this year to run through!

As far as the other shoe, that seems to be the big question. People expect us to be 6-10 and that makes me laugh. They also say McNabb is "done" which also makes me laugh. I don't think the shoe is gonna drop on us this year, not in any crazy fashion. I think it's hit the giants... That NFC EAST is wide open this year in my mind. Philly has a helter-skelter Offense... I think they will compete with Dallas for the title. 10-6 will win our division, 9-7 is a wild card. I am looking forward to the season!

If you haven't already, please take the time to vote your thoughts on our record. ( Above in sidebar) Remember, we have an easier schedule!

HOPE THIS IS A COMMON SIGHT

SKOL!

Here is a snippet on the game itself from a daily

MINNEAPOLIS - The Los Angeles Rams have been placed on the injured list with broken hearts. Their status for next week is questionable. All that is certain is that they will never lose another football game the way they lost one Sunday. One minute, angry Vikings fans were seen headed for the wet streets of Minneapolis, cursing the home team as they made their way to the exits. The next, they were scurrying back to their Metrodome seats, some making it just in time to see one of the most surreal finishes in recent NFL history.It ended when Minnesota linebacker Mike Merriweather blocked a punt near the Rams' 15-yard line, chased down the ball, then wrestled with it until it rolled out of the end zone for a safety that gave the Vikings a 23-21 overtime victory.
The Rams allowed 23 points without giving up a touchdown. They saw Minnesota place-kicker Rich Karlis tie an NFL record with seven field goals, all of 40 yards or less. Karlis tied Jim Bakken's 22-year-old NFL record with seven field goals.

It was the Rams' fourth consecutive defeat after opening the season at 5-0. Said safety Anthony Newman: "They all hurt the same. Every time you lose a game, it hurts. This one might hurt a little more, because we had it in our hands."

The Rams took a 21-18 lead with 28 seconds left in regulation on a 2-yard touchdown run by Greg Bell. With no timeouts, the Rams frantically moved 48 yards on two Jim Everett passes to Henry Ellard to set up the go-ahead score.

The ensuing kickoff went out of bounds, giving the Vikings the ball at their 35; Minnesota was also out of timeouts. All the Vikings could do was have quarterback Wade Wilson throw the ball up for grabs, and hope for the best.

On second down, Wilson heaved a "Hail Mary" pass deep to wide receiver Hassan Jones, who caught the ball in front of LeRoy Irvin and Newman for a 43-yard gain to the Ram 23.

The Vikings hurried their field goal unit onto the field, and Karlis kicked them into a tie with a 40-yarder that barely squeezed inside the right upright.

McNabb (my take)

Hey I am back, finally. I took a whole year off from a combination of being lazy, disappointed and frustrated (and often too drunk post game to type properly)

This Guy

I love the move. At first there seemed a 50/50 response, half neutral, half against it haha. The common detractors saying he's "washed up" or that we're not gonna go anywhere this year so why bother with it, let's let PONDER play etc.

BOTH statements are ridiculous. First my defense of McNAbb

People bitched about his interceptions last year. He had 15 in 13 games. Pretty lame. God Awful? Not quite, but not impressive I agree. A few notable QBs who fared worse were Cutler, Manning(s) Brees, Favre and Palmer. Eli had 25! Is anyone calling for him to be benched?

What about historically? McNabb's Interception percentage career wise averages right around 2.2% Last year he attempted more passes per game then any other year. .. Probably due to the fact that the SKINS were 30th in RUSHING in 2010... He didn't have much help. What did he get for all those drop backs? I mean besides a league leading amount of sacks per game- Sacked 37 times in 13 games! Who were his weapons?

(this space intentionally left blank. )

He did have this guy

Clearly Cooley Can Distract Defenders

His wideouts? IDK to be honest- I could look em up, Santana Moss? *googles. OK he had agood year. 93 catches, 1000+ yards. I wonder why? With McNabb slinging him the rock he had 23 more catches and 200 more yards then in 2009

(ok well idk which 3 games McNabby missed but still)

Check out this nugget

"Through the 2010-11 NFL season, McNabb ranks fourth best all-time in career interception percentage (2.20%) among NFL quarterbacks. Among quarterbacks with at least 1,500 pass attempts, only Aaron Rodgers (1.99%), Neil O'Donnell (2.11%), and Tom Brady(2.19%) have a lower career interception percentage than McNabb"

Here's McNabb's line last season (13 games)

Pretty average. But what would it be if you combined it with AP and the 120 yards per game (minimum) we get, and thats with 9 in the box. Washington had more yards then we did, and more points. Mostly because of him! Obviously we took a big step back last year with our turnovers, poor blocking and poor pass protection, but I am optimistic that the current roster will fare better then the one where we had Camarillo as our number one and t jack behind center haha. Ugh!

Another reason McNAbb had an off year last year is...

he DID get hurt... curse?

One more thing about McNabb, here's the list of all pro WRs he's played with in his career.

Terrel Owens. (21 games) Desean Jackson. (31 games) The rest of the time (most of his career) he played with busters at the wideout and good RBs and TEs. SOUND FAMILIAR? Can we take a chill and make him feel at home.

Point 2- " We're not gonna go anywhere anyways why bring in an old QB"

HUH? #ComeOnSon!

Do you remember when the Packers clinched the division last year? What week? Before their run to the super bowl? Oh right, they didn't. They were a wild card team. They finished 10-6 and almost didn't even make the playoffs! Sure they made a good run and made some plays, but they STILL FINISHED the season 28th in rushing and middle ranks in total defense! WTF are you people so afraid of? Imagine if they had injuries like we had injuries, if they're SB MVP went down. That's the season.

Chicago? Same shit, they have weaknesses too. Everybody does. Everyone is saying how "good DETROIT is gonna be... Chicago is signing all these Free Agents". Ask me if I give a skol.

We have A LOT of talented veterans on this team and if everyone just does their job they will compete every game. And not in the Houston TEXANS "aww we almost did it kind of way either."

Please take the time now to vote, up to the right. Pick how many wins we will have this year. I say 10. Ten wins will win the division this year. Have you looked at our schedule? It's cake! Peep it.

How juicy do those last few games look? Could be very important... And look at the story lines! Revenge VS Aints, McNAbb IN Washginton rubbing it in, Singletary VS Bears for possible NORTH crown... who knows!

I think they will mean something and if McNabb is on the bench in the final against Da Bears, at home, It'll be because we're resting him for the playoffs!

Call me a homer. I don't care. My god laughs at your god.
