Week 3, 2012: Niners at Vikings Game Thread

By Brett Anderson

Happy Sunday morning, fellow Vikings fans. Today, we host, what many people believe to be, the number one team in the NFL at the Metrodome. It will be a tough game for the Vikings but there is never an impossible game to win in the NFL. That’s something that’s great about waking up on a Sunday morning before a game. You just know that anything is possible. (Or at least that’s what I’ll keep telling myself…)

Here are the inactives for today’s game:

Vikings: QB McLeod Bethel-Thompson, LB Erin Henderson, WR Jarius Wright, S Brandon Burton, S Robert Blanton, OL Mark Asper, DE D”Aundre Reed

49ers: WR A.J. Jenkins, RB LaMichael James, WR Ted Ginn, G Joe Looney, QB Scott Tolzien, DT Ian Williams, RB Brandon Jacobs

Enjoy the game, everyone. Still no live-chat this week but it should be coming soon as I finally got myself Sunday Ticket (Wooo!) and will no longer have to trek myself every Sunday morning across town to the “Blue Ox.” (A local Vikings bar.) Feel free to post your thoughts on the game as they come here.

Skol Vikes!

  • good measuring stick for our vikes and a big challenge for ponder today against a good defense

  • Watch this game as a team in rebuilding mode vs. a team who started doing the same thing about three years ago. Alex Smith is gaining some respect, but he was no where near respected a couple years back. It takes time.

    • And you can add Jared Allen to that description, Brett. They need to talk less and worry about their game. Uh oh. Raymond looks VERY hurt.

  • Greg Zuerlin is perfect on the year. If you guys remember, I was pretty high on getting that guy in the draft. Was slightly disappointed when we took Walsh instead but, needless to say, BOTH rookie kickers have looked amazing. Definitely not second guessing the pick. Love me some Walsh.

    • Hey Brett, agree with you 100% here. I haven't followed Zuerlin so I didn't know he was perfect, but like you said; definitely not second guessing Walsh. Rams took Janoris Jenkins in the 2nd, who I was hoping the Vikings would get. Without looking up the draft again, it seemed the Rams were picking, if not the player, then the position I wanted Minnesota to choose in most of the rounds.
