In 2000, the Tennessee Titans pulled off the famous “Music City Miracle”. In 2012, the Bears stormed into Nashville and put on a performance that from this day forth should be known as the “Music City Massacre” (I’m trademarking this). If they hadn’t done so already, the Bear’s firmly placed their names amongst the NFC’s elite with their 51-20 shellacking of the … [Read more...] about The Numbers Behind the Bears’ Domination of the Titans

The Minnesota Vikings Christmas List
When a team has been victorious in only two of its thirteen regular season games, there is obviously tremendous room for growth. This necessitates a long list for Santa Claus. Hopefully the printed out version of this arrives on time, with all of the doom and gloom surrounding the U.S. Postal Service. Maybe I will have to track down his e-mail address. Previously, I have … [Read more...] about The Minnesota Vikings Christmas List
Minnesota Vikings Have Sunk to New Depths
Conventional wisdom said that the Vikings would be able to run against the Bears and that they would be able to stop the run on Sunday. Neither was true as Minnesota was steamrolled by over four touchdowns in a 39-10 drubbing. One would have thought that Viking quarterback Donovan McNabb could have a better performance on his return to his hometown. The team is now … [Read more...] about Minnesota Vikings Have Sunk to New Depths
Minnesota Vikings Finally Hold On and Breakthrough with a W
The Minnesota Vikings finally held on during the second half of Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals to secure the victory. They still lost the second half by a score of seven to six, but the club finally took my advice and rode Adrian Peterson to the promised land. He carried the ball twenty-nine times for one hundred twenty-two yards. His success didn’t come in garbage … [Read more...] about Minnesota Vikings Finally Hold On and Breakthrough with a W
Analyzing the Minnesota Vikings Depth Chart
The addition of Donovan McNabb and Michael Jenkins on the offensive side of the ball have been the two most notable positive amendments during the offseason. The most newsworthy departure is undoubtedly the exit by offensive lineman and consistent Pro Bowler Bryant McKinnie. After taking a look at the depth chart on the team’s official site, it is puzzling to note that Joe … [Read more...] about Analyzing the Minnesota Vikings Depth Chart
Disappearing Act of Vikings WR Bernard Berrian
Bernard Berrian was brought to the Vikings from the Chicago Bears with a lot of promise and expectations for future success. To say that he has been a bust is a major understatement. He continued his unsuccessful ways during Sunday’s win over the Dallas Cowboys. According to the NFL's website, the receiver had one catch for four yards. He also committed a key penalty at a … [Read more...] about Disappearing Act of Vikings WR Bernard Berrian
Vikings fans: In Visanthe Shiancoe We Trust
Visanthe Shiancoe and Adrian Peterson have been beasts for the Vikings offense. They have been the only two playmakers that offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell could turn to for consistent production thus far. The good news is that the Vikings scored nineteen points...in two games. As mentioned in a previous blog, the loss of Sidney Rice is concerning and the offense must … [Read more...] about Vikings fans: In Visanthe Shiancoe We Trust
The Good, the Bad, and the Vikings
As bad as this game may have seemed for the Vikings, there is plenty of silver lining. The fact that Minnesota had the opportunity to beat the defending World Champions in their home arena deep into the fourth quarter is not too shabby. To quote Bobby Boucher from The Waterboy, my mama says in life you should always look at things from a positive light. So, out of respect … [Read more...] about The Good, the Bad, and the Vikings
