Well, for Vikings fans who paid attention to the division rival Green Bay Packers this weekend, that’s exactly what happened. While it wasn’t the sort of “W” that adds up in that all important column, it knocked down the Pack in more ways than just a new mark in the “L” slot. That loss translates to a 3.5 game lead in the ... mike@runemasterstudios.com (MikeBullock) Minnesota Vikings 2009-11-09T11:27:37-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/14548 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/14548 Yesterday, the NFL Channel ran a very interesting stat comparison between Adrian Peterson and Percy Harvin over the last few games. As much as Peterson has done for the Vikings, it was surprising to see that Harvin has actually done more recently. In Sunday’s game against the Pack, Harvin caught 84 yards worth of passes, ran up 175 yards returning kicks and scored a touchdown as icing on the ... mike@runemasterstudios.com (MikeBullock) Minnesota Vikings 2009-11-05T12:05:47-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/14522 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/14522 His eleventh year out of Ohio State was promising to be his best. Going in to the week six game against the Baltimore Ravens, Antoine Winfield had amassed 28 solo tackles, 4 passes defensed and 1 interception. While those numbers don’t seem astronomical, take into account the number of times opposing teams either ran or threw away from Winfield and you get a fairly complete picture of a studly ... mike@runemasterstudios.com (MikeBullock) Minnesota Vikings 2009-10-29T08:24:24-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/14349 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/14349 With the best running back in the game, a hall of fame QB and a few great men, the Vikings are giving notice they’ll be unleashing an assault on the rest of the NFL. Eighteen seconds into Monday Night Football, Adrian Peterson showed why Mike Mayock and many other experts refer to him as the best player in the league. What should have been a short gain turned into another pulse pounding play for ... mike@runemasterstudios.com (MikeBullock) Minnesota Vikings 2009-09-02T08:33:31-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/14330 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/14330 It was bound to happen, and it did; The Minnesota Vikings are spilt in two between having Sage Rosenfels and Tarvaris Jackson as the starting quarterback for the Vikings. Guess where Brett Favre stands? Nowhere because even though the Viking fans welcome him, and the players welcome him grudgily, they're not happy that Coach Childress went behind their back, and broke his word about not worrying ... night1_@hotmail.com (night1) Minnesota Vikings 2009-08-29T07:43:06-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/14307 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/14307 Well the hoopa earlier this week is Brett Favre changed his mind yet again to play football for the Minnesota Vikings which ironcially is the same division the Green Bay Packers are in. I'm not slamming the fact that Brett Favre will head to the NFL Hall of Fame when he retires, and maybe when he says his daughter wanted him to play again to win the Super Bowl is sincere, but whose to say that ... night1_@hotmail.com (night1) Minnesota Vikings 2009-08-22T05:25:23-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/14288 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/14288 Unless you’ve been hiding in a sports information Black Hole, you know that Brett Favre is now a Viking. While the information is still rolling in, let’s take a few minutes to extrapolate on the facts that are already available. Brett Favre, like most veterans, has no desire to attend training camp. He’s certainly not the first and definitely won’t be the last senior player to find new and ... mike@runemasterstudios.com (MikeBullock) Minnesota Vikings 2009-08-19T10:11:06-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/14292 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/14292 When Brett Favre was signed to play for the New York Jets for the 2008 season, sparkles were flying all over The Big Apple. The best QB statistically to ever play in the NFL was now with the Jets. The thing is that the 2008 Jets started off hot but were well known for their late season meltdown that ended up eliminating them from the AFC playoffs. Fast forward to August 18, 2009, and the ... cemorgan3@yahoo.com (Misterwookas) Minnesota Vikings 2009-08-19T08:52:47-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/14282 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/14282 The Minnesota Vikings signed Lake Lillian native Jake Nordin on Sunday, three days after he was cut by the Detroit Lions, losing a roster slot battle with rookie 7th round pick Dan Gronkowski. The 6'3", 263* Nordin was originally signed by New England as an undrafted free agent in 2007. He was All-Conference in 2005 as a junior at Northern Illinois. He was leading the team in receptions ... paskona2000@yahoo.com (garym) Minnesota Vikings 2009-08-18T08:26:51-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/14272 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/14272 T-Jacked Up: An Open Letter to Jackson While watching last night’s game, it certainly appeared on the surface that Sage Rosenfels clearly has the edge to be the starter when the Vikings face the Browns on September 13th. Upon deeper inspection, however (thanks to the rewind on our new DVR), it’s fairly evident that Tarvaris Jackson is far more physically talented. I’m not alone in this ... mike@runemasterstudios.com (MikeBullock) Minnesota Vikings 2009-08-15T11:01:42-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/14259 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/14259 With the Vikings opening their exhibition season Friday night at Indianapolis there are several interesting things to watch that will affect play once the regular season starts.. The first three games should be anything but dull to fans who are into the finer points of the team`s game. The last exhibition game is more often than not a contest to fine tune a roster that has already been set. So ... paskona2000@yahoo.com (garym) Minnesota Vikings 2009-08-14T08:34:15-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/14218 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/14218 Reports of inconsistent play and bizarre injuries are coming out of Mankato regarding the signal callers of the Minnesota Vikings. Journalists at the camp have made comments about Sage Rosenfels throwing lame ducks, they’ve watched Tarvaris Jackson injure himself not once, but twice and seen too many interceptions to rave about the signal callers. So, what’s a Viking fan to do? Pray for the ... mike@runemasterstudios.com (MikeBullock) Minnesota Vikings 2009-08-10T09:18:01-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/14212 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/14212 Imagine you’re the head coach of a storied franchise. In three short years, you’ve taken the team from ‘rebuilding’ to Division Champion. You have one of the best defenses in the game, arguably the best Running Back to come along since Barry Sanders, solid lines on both sides of the ball and a passing attack that’s only missing one thing: a solid field general. So, you bow out of the playoffs ... mike@runemasterstudios.com (MikeBullock) Minnesota Vikings 2009-08-07T08:25:49-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/14140 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/14140 So who will back up Antoine Winfield and Cedric Griffin? If Charles Gordon is healthy, he and 3rd round pick Asher Allen should be locks. That will leave one spot open for Marcus McCauley, Benny Sapp, Karl Paymah, and just maybe Marcus Walker to fight over. Derrick Roberson is a non-factor for the 53 man roster. Paymah looks like this year`s Derrick Pope. A free agent signee who won`t make the ... paskona2000@yahoo.com (garym) Minnesota Vikings 2009-07-23T10:58:27-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/13984 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/13984 Who protests a win? The NFL ... at least according to the mainstream media. Last Friday, U.S. District Judge Paul Magnuson dismissed a lawsuit brought by the NFL Players Association on behalf of Minnesota Vikings Pat and Kevin Williams, two New Orleans Saints players and a free agent facing suspensions in the ongoing StarCaps case. However, Magnuson sent the Williamses' original lawsuit back ... JMcmullen1@comcast.net (John McMullen) Minnesota Vikings 2009-05-28T02:01:41-05:00
