Links Of Wild Card Week

Well, here we are, fans of a team that nobody expected to make the playoffs.  Now that they have, nobody expects the Vikings to do much in the playoffs.

Here is the best of the best from around the net:

• Young talent not only has gotten this team to where they are now, but it provides us with hope for the future.
• Linking to a music video preview worked for us last week.  Wouldn’t want to jinx us, so here is another.
• A case for making sure Percy Harvin stays with the team that drafted him.
• A fun recap of last week’s action.  With pictures and stuff.
• Adrian Peterson must really want that MVP title because he wants to be a kick returner and line up to block kicks.
• If statistics mean much, we can probably expect to see more blitzes from the Pack on Saturday.
• This last game against the Packers will be an instant classic.
• For the second week in a row Everson Griffen graded out as an elite defensive end in the NFL.
• Big wins this season against top teams proves that nobody should sleep on the Minnesota Vikings in this postseason tournament.
• The NFL will be looking hard for nine extra yards that Adrian Peterson maybe didn’t get credit for this season.
• Everyone should have one of these.
• Both teams have injuries to deal with this week that should make this game unique from the other two they have played this season.
• Kyle Rudolph has a touchdown dance and it is called “The Ice Auger.”  I honestly can’t say if Bud Grant would love this one or still despise it.
• Low expectations have perhaps made Christian Ponder’s most recent performance better than it actually was.
• A pretty sweet breakdown of just how great Adrian Peterson’s season really was.
• Leslie Frazier knows Erin Henderson screwed up on the Greg Jennings touchdown last week, but he plans to continue playing him on nickel downs and supports him.
• The Vikings are exploring options just in case Antoine Winfield can’t play on Saturday.
• Green Bay hasn’t had such a horrible home field advantage in recent playoff appearances.
• The Vikings are 80/1 odds to win the Super Bowl at this point.  Place your bets homers!
• Adrian Peterson is ready to chase the rushing record once again next season.
• Yup.  This happened.
• An open door will hopefully help the Vikings prepare for what is sure to be a cold weather game.
