I think what Justin is is whatever the opposite of a homer is towards the Vikings.

Okay, THAT doesn't even make sense.  Are you still drunk from the combined Pats/Vikes wins yesterday?

Nope. Just calling it like I see it.

Well, amen to that philosophy.   ;)  Out of curiosity, did you think the Vikes dominated the 49ers yesterday? 

Anyone have big plans for the big Vikings/Packers showdown on Monday?  A buddy at work lucked out and won the office pool for 2 tickets.  (We still have to pay the $80, but at least we get to go).  I cannot wait to see Rodgers vs. Favre.

I did not think the Vikes dominated the Niners. I am also not basing my "philosophy" of your anti-Vikingness on this one discussion.

Okay, then at least you and I Are back on the same page as I do loathe me some Vikings.   :D

Alright, so then you saw the Vikings D virtually shut down the 49ers outside of 2 drives the entire game.  The 49ers running game was non existant.  Shaun Hill did play alright and Vernon Davis is truly a monster...but the Vikes dominated both sides of the ball all game...the stats and multiple 3 and outs will back me up.  The blocked FG was THE ONLY REASON the 49ers were going to win that game.  You discredited the kick return as big of a fluke.  I know you can't say this shouldn't have happened or that should have but block FGs for TDs are pretty damn rare.  Kick returns happen pretty much every week.  The FG was a 10 point swing, that doesn't happen and the Vikings absolutely cruise like the stats and my eyes saw happen.  And if you think Hill was on par with Farve...you could not have watched the game.

One place they didn't dominate...our ******* bald headed bastard at Head Coach.  I have and always will despise the way he runs games and the play calling is absolutely terrible a lot of the time.  Singletary outcoached him and their adjustments at half time baffled

OMG.  Here are the stats from the game:

- Favre's completeion % was 52% vs. Hill's 60%
- Favre threw for 300 yards vs. Hill's 200, but 80 of them came on the final drive vs. a prevent defense.
- Both QBs threw for two TDs and a pick
- Both teams had a special teams TD (Block FG vs KR - I would agree that blocking a kick for a return is more rare and by default a more significant achievement, but whatever it's the same result)
- Peterson (the league's #1 RB) had exactly 31 more yards than Glen Freaking Coffee and neither scored
- Neither team had a 100yd receiver, but SF was closest with V. Davis

Your MN Vikings had every possible advantage - #1 rusher in the league, HOF QB, playing at home, early game for a West Coast team on the road, SF #1 RB goes out the first game, etc.  And STILL they managed to lose the lead not once, but twice.

Honestly, did you watch the game or were you dreaming in magical fairy land through most of the above?

Don't get me wrong, it was a good game and a win is a win.  As I said before, kudos on the victory and a sweet 3-0 start.  That said, there was nothing "dominating" about the way they played this game. 

Oh, and why are you ripping on your head coach for being bald?  ???

San Fran also didn't convert on a single third down all game...

And yet, they took the lead twice.  What does that say about the Vikings performance?
