He is able to complete a high ratio of completions/touchdowns because we have a dominant rushing attack and the defense has to stack the line if they want to have a chance at containing AD and Chester Protector. Say Aaron Rogers was quarterbacking in Minnesota, he would look like an all star (especially with his mobility which absolutely shocked me in week 1).

I actually think the Vikes will beat the Falcons this week, and here’s why:

1. Even with Pat Williams out, we still have one of the best Defensive lines in the NFL, and we have very good tackling linebackers and corners.

2. The Vikings beat the Panthers at home already this year, and they run the ball almost as effectively as the Falcons, with a better overall team (granted it took some huge plays from Antoine Winfield)

3. Time for a stat that is probably b.s., but the Vikings are 6-1 since Madieu Williams has come back from his injury, I think he fills what was pretty much the only gap in our defense.

4. I’m hopeless cynical optimist, so as much as I expect the vikings to break my heart in the long run, I think the Vikings will win every week.

Hope the Pack take it to the bears this week

I just need to make sure I remain 50 feet away at all times. That’s all.

They did tell me one sort of odd thing though – that contrary to my report, Tarvaris apparently said he doesn’t intend to meet me in the morning at the bagel shop. Not sure what that’s about – I KNOW he does.

You might be one more post away from a restraining order being issued in Hennepin County.
