The Vikings didn’t only get beat Sunday by Tennessee, they got pretty beat up (that’s what happens when you play a dirty team like the Titans).  The worst injury was to E.J. Henderson who had to leave the game with dislocated toes – which sounds about as painful as anything I’ve ever heard of (except [...]

The division tightened up this weekend, with the Packers losing on the road and the Bears pulling out a tough home victory.  The Vikings squandered a chance [...]

Coach Brad Childress was unamused by the flood of gaffes that led to the Vikings‘ 30-17 defeat at the hands of the no-account dirtball Tennessee Titans.  Especially irksome were the numerous turnovers, which helped the Titans build a big first-half lead.  “Turnovers are the No. 1 statistic in this business,” Childress said.  “I thought they [...]

Gus Frerotte has called out Titans defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch over a low hit that left the Vikings‘ QB curled up in an agonized ball on the LP Field turf.  “It was a direct shot,” Frerotte said. “That just isn’t called for in this game. To take and just spear somebody like that. That’s [...]

I personally can’t get enough.

Self-Inflicted Wounds
The Vikings are 1-3 after a mistake-laden 30-17 loss at the hands of the Tennessee Titans.  Actually, “mistake-laden” may be a bit of an understatement.  Gaffes, errors and self-inflicted blows defined the game for the Vikings, who were trying to get back to .500 after starting the season 0-2.  It began early, when Naufahu [...]

First off the inactives.  For the Vikings:  Ray Edwards has been deactivated and Otis Grigsby will start at left defensive end.  Edwards injured his shoulder in the Carolina game, briefly left, then returned.  Brian Robison is expected to see time at left end as well.  Also…special teams ace Vinny Ciurciu is out with a knee [...]

The Vikings wrap up a tough four-game early season stretch this afternoon against the Tennessee Titans.  After falling in an 0-2 hole, the Vikes have a shot at pulling back to .500 – a pretty good feat considering the level of competition…and considering how close the whole thing seemed to completely unraveling just two weeks [...]

Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor are both listed as questionable on the injury report.  AD continues to nurse a bad hammy and Chester…somewhere along the line he came down with a bad foot.  I’m sure both will play this Sunday against Tennessee but still, it’s bothersome to always see so many key offensive players littering [...]

Madieu Williams was signed to a 6-year, $33 million free agent contract this off-season, but the former Bengals safety hasn’t had a chance to bolster the Vikings‘ secondary as was the plan.  Instead, Williams spent all of training camp, the preseason and much of the regular season in a neck brace, having suffered a mysterious [...]
