The Vikings showed grit and determination late in their Week 17 match-up against the Denver Broncos. Down 19-3 in the 4th quarter and looking flatter than roadkill, the Vikes managed to mount a furious rally, highlighted by a pair of Tarvaris Jackson-to-Bobby Wade touchdown passes, and two runs for 2-point conversions by Jackson himself.

I’ve seen all I ever want to see of Troy Williamson.  And I think Brad Childress agrees.
Well, we knew Chester Taylor had little fumble issues sometimes.  Those came up and bit us today didn’t they?
Tarvaris is missing those little short passes to open receivers again.  But, let’s give him time, right?
Not much from Adrian again.  [...]

Legendary Vikings coach Bud Grant says Tarvaris Jackson hasn’t had enough of a shot yet for anyone to know whether he’s NFL caliber.  The quote:
[Fans] are trying to evaluate him on the basis of very few games.  I don’t know that that’s fair to him, to try to put a tag on him at this [...]

Year almost over, season almost over.  Despite their best choking efforts the Vikings can still get in the playoffs. Just beat Denver and hope Brad Johnson and the Cowboys’ scrubs can bump off Washington.
Well, it was a nice run. Really, a hell of a time. But all good things must come to [...]

Tarvaris is killing us. Not to be alarmist…but I think it’s time to look at Brooks Bollinger. He’s usually pretty good in relief.
For the second week in a row, a highly-respected analyst has ripped T-Jack’s mechanics. I just wish he’d give the jump-passes a rest.
The Redskins are playing with 3 defensive backs [...]

The Eagles did the Vikings a huge favor today by beating the New Orleans Saints.  This means the Vikes can clinch a playoff berth by defeating the Redskins tonight, and we won’t all have to sweat that final regular season game in Denver.
I want everyone to hit our sister site Inside the Iggles and give [...]

The Vikings take on the Redskins tonight at the Dome.  Don’t know what it’s doing in Minneapolis but here it’s snowing like a bitch.  Hope the damn power stays on.
Anyway, it’s a huge game for the Vikes - biggest they’ve played since the playoff game in Lambeau a couple years ago.  They clinch a post-season [...]

This game isn’t the last team that scores will win, it’s the last team that makes a mistake will lose.  What a brutal half of football.  Honestly, either team could have a huge lead right now - the Bears if their offense could do anything, the Vikings if they would stop turning the ball over.
Adrian [...]

The NFL had another crazy weekend (thanks mostly to the weather and Jessica Simpson’s curse on Tony Romo). The Vikings didn’t participate, of course, since their game is tonight. But there were a few games that did have implications for the Purple, given the recent revival of their playoff hopes. Let’s run [...]

The Vikings wanted to make a statement today against the San Francisco 49ers. They wanted to show the rest of the NFL that they can win stretch-run games on the road, and that they can handle inferior competition with a minimum of fuss and bother. Mission accomplished. The Vikings had brushed aside [...]
