Live Blogging Vikes vs. Bengals

No Percy- Not Good

Winfield back- Personally would rather have Percy, if I had the choice.

Shencoe drops ball.

Favre throws pick- Ugh

Winfield is IN THE GAME!

Come on, lets get AP crankin'

Come on, catch the ball Berrein (Man was that lucky)

Farve you just should have run, stupid penalty.

End of quarter- I miss Percy.

The pass protection on that 3rd down, sucked! Sack!

It's good! I miss Percy and I think Brett does too.

Winfield- DOH!!

Nice return and thanks for the 15!

AP turns on the jets!

So close Sidney!!!

Favre eludes rush, touchdown!!! HUGE!

Lets Go D!

Not good, swiss cheese Defence 10-7.

Favre with sneak, that was big.

I guess 3 is better than nothing, especially when we get the ball to start the 2nd half.

Ha! Beautiful- It's just too bad Greenway didn't scoop that baby up and run it to the house.

And it's a 9 point lead. HUGE!

Halftime over was eating wings.

Huge touchdown by AP.

To bad that was no fumble.

Home field advantage, STUFF.

Lets put this thing away

3 and out, that sucked!

Long run but not a disaster, Come on field goal or turnover!

Another brutal penalty call, come on refs, this is football. What is he supposed to do, not hit him at all?

Fieldgoal, I will take that.

Come on O about 8 minutes off the clock or how about a Reanaut TD return?

3 and out, Brutal. Brett you have to make that throw, Chester had the 1st down easy.

How about some home field advantage?

Yeah baby, 3 and Out!

It's time to put this thing away ALL DAY!

That drive was a thing of beauty!!! Execution leads to execution.

It's nice of the Bengals to concede the game like that. Home field advantage!!!

FYI my fantasy team is smashmouth this week.

Come on Bears, upset those crackers! Oops that game is OVER.

Victory is Achieved!!! Just give us the NFC North Division crown, now.

Fantasy Football Come from behind victory!

Drew Brees exploded and Tom Brady imploded and I came back from a huge deficit to win in fantasy football this week. I was helped by the 2 Maroney touchdowns as well. In the end it wasn't even that close at 109 to 92.

Vikes Bears Recap & FF

Purple Pride! Purple Pride! as old Red liked to say.

That was the kind of game I like, Viking Domination just like last week.

I figure this win pretty much should have wrapped up the Division Championship. Our remaining schedule isn't a cake walk, but the Packers have some tough games too and we own the tie breaker.

I think the next couple of games will tell a lot about the team's prospects for playoff success. At this point I am not holding out much hope of home field advantage throughout the playoffs. I think New Orleans only loses 1 or goes undefeated and I would be shocked if the Vikes went 15-1.

It would be nice if we can get Winfield back for next week against the pass happy Cardinals and AP has to stop his fumbling routine.

MinnesocoldBPboys Fantasy Update: I have 4 players in tonights Monday Night Football game. I am behind by quite a bit right now and my opponent for the week still has Tom Brady and Jeremy Shockey yet to play. Basically it will take a miracle for me to win this week.

Vikes Hawks Recap & Fantasy Football

1st Quarter- Not so good.
2nd Quarter- That's more like it.
3rd Quarter- If you can stop Adrian you can't stop Favre.
4th Quarter- If you can stop Adrian you can't stop Tavaris.

For the most part the D played a good game, maybe it's best of the season. It really looked like the Seahawks Defensive game plan was to stuff Peterson and they did a pretty good job of that for the most part. Too bad for them we have the old gunslinger.

Bring on Chicago, hopefully Philly will rough Da Bears up this week and have them weak for next week.

Minnesocold BPboys Fantasy Football Update: So far it has been a pretty strong week up and down the line up, so I am cruising to victory.

Vikes vs. Seahawks @ the Dome

At this point it isn't must win, but should win. But I think to be a contender you must win, "should win" games.

As for this week for me in Fantasy, it's pretty much anybodies game. I am in a 3 game losing skid and hopefully the bleeding stops this week.

Good Bye

Bye as in Bye Week for the Minnesota Vikings. While we didn't play a game but the division lead was extended to a full 3 games over the Da Bears and the Cheeseheads who both lost important games. The Bears lost at home and Green Bay lost to a bad team. If the Vikes can win their next 3 games (Lions, Seahawks, Bears), which are all at home, then the division title should be in the bag.

Watching the Packers lose to previously winless Tampa Bay was awesome.

As for my fantasy team, I was up against Kurt Warner the wrong week. He had 5 picks last week and 5 TD's this week. My score was OK, but I got blown out by 43 points with 1 of my wide receivers yet to play.

The top team in the fantasy league is in danger of losing this week, which would be nice.

A Victory!!! Favre Takes Two From Packers

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!

Yes, it's a huge win but that D needs to get much better.

Skoal Vikings!!!



It looks like my fantasy team is getting spanked this week, so far my top performing guy has 10 Points, while my opponet has players with 34, 19, 20, and 12. I still have Brees and the New O D yet to play but I'm down 67 points:(.

Vikes vs. The Pack Part 2

Do you think Farve will do the Lambert Leap?

Skoal Vikings!!!

I am a little concerned about my Fantasy Team this week. I am on a 4 game winning streak and currently have the 2nd best record in the league, however I am facing a guy with Adrian Peterson, yes All Day AP not Chicago AP, and Aaron Rogers. If I can get by this week, I'm good.

Fantasy Football: The Robo Draft

Yesterday was the automated robo draft in my fantasy football league. I guess I should be thankful it was a robo draft because I would be pretty clueless after the 1st couple of rounds had we done it the old fashion way. Here are my selections by Round:

1st: QB Drew Brees Saints- I pretty much consider myself a very lucky fellow because I got Drew with the 8th pick. I considered him to be the #2 QB behind Brady and there were 5 picks in front of me that I would not have wanted over Drew.

2nd: Steelers Defence- Ladanian Tomlinson was available in this slot and I'm disappointed I didn't get him. Randy Moss was also available but his inconsistancy has to be a worry. There were 2 other Defences picked in this round after me, so I'm hoping that a Defence this early in the draft wasn't a bad thing.

3rd: RB Ryan Grant Packers- I am not sure this guy is all that good. I know he was a rookie sensation but wasn't all that good last year. Have no clue what kind of offensive line the packers have.

4th: RB Kevin Smith Lions- Have no clue who this guy is. Apparently he is the Lions #1 running back.

5th: K Stephen Gostkowski Patriots- 1st Kicker selected in the draft. Not sure this is a good thing especially because I didn't have a wide receiver yet.

6th: WR Hines Ward Steelers- May very well have been the best wide reciever still avaiable or maybe he is getting old.

7th: WR Anthony Gonzalas Colts- Taking over Marvin Harrisons spot. Has a big upside.

8th: WR Steve Breaston Cardinals- Don't know who the guy is but I needed a 3rd receiver. He caught 77 passes and was over 1000 yards last year in his 2nd season, so this could be a solid pick.

9th: TE Owen Daniels Texans- I needed a Tight End to fill out my team, don't know much about him but he is supposed to be pretty good.

10th: QB Big Ben Steelers- Will be a good fill in when Breeze has his Bye week.

11th: RB Felix Jones Cowboys- I think he is the 2nd string RB in Dallas, so I don't know where that leaves him. He didn't play much last year as a rookie.

12th: WR Derrick Mason Ravens- May be the Ravens #1 receiver so he may get used.

13th: RB Cadillac Williams Bucs- This one may be a steal. If he is healthy he could possibly be the #1 back in Tampa. Saw him in pre-season game and he looked good.

14th: TE Bo Scaife Titans- expendible, but I will need a TE when Daniels has the bye.

Hmmm

I'll get to that Leech Lake Tournament Report eventually. Pete has been here all week and that tournament kind of took the wind out of my sails physically and motivationaly.

I'm going to be in a fantasy football league this year. At this point my heart really isn't in it as I am just doing it to be a warm body in my brother Steve's league. I am just a casual football fan and nothing close to an expert so I kind of expect mediocre results.
