No question the defense won the game for us...
But as far as what did Johnson do?? He didn't turn the ball over. 0 ints for Johnson so far. 12 ints for Culpepper that go along with only 6 TDs. He also had about 6 fumbles if I remember correctly. Ints turn into points for the other team, as you can see from Eli's bad day, and Culpepper was losing games for us this season from his turnovers.
Great points. But I think too many people are jumping on Daunte as being the SOLE problem and jumping to call for his head. The line has been protecting Brad much better than Daunte. Daunte was sacked over 6 times a game, and hurried on almost every pass play. Brad has been sacked 3 times a game and has had time to read the field. We haven't seen Brad run for his life much, so IMO....
Daunte > Brad -
I think it is the best thing that happened to the Vikes when Daunte got hurt. He wasn't playing well at all, and was brining the team down with him. Yeah, you can't blame everything on him, but I really think it helped bring up the team's moral to get someone else in there.

read the field? brads a 3 step qb and has been his full career. he's never been a 5 step drop, look down field and bomb it for 60 yards, hes the lil dinky 12 yard completions, an occasional 20 yarder, back to 12 then below 10 yards per pass.Both games he's started he's avgd under 10 yards a completion, so it's not the line that's helping brad, it's his style of play. Personally i feel now that we're 9 games in, Daunte doesn't fit this system that our offensive coordinator/tice has installed. He doesnt look comfortable at all, and without a nice target out there to spot, he's been exposed that if you give him pressure, he'll choke the chicken.

Brad > Daunte Anyday i think...
but half of its the o-lines fault...what did they have 130 yrs on offense total yesterday??
owell atleast they are on a winning streak!

True, but the QB is the leader on the field. Without a QB you have no team.Without offensive linemans you have no QB

this isn't dauntes type of system.
he's a great qb...just not steve loneys qb tho obviously. the new play calls us and him are used to don't fit his style of play.

im just smart.

That is a great pic!

Well, tonight is the night. Monday Night Football. Lambeau Field. Vikings vs. Packers. The last time I'll get to see the Vikings kick the shit out of Brett Favre
Should be a great game! The last Vikes-Packers Monday night game was one to remember (even if it didn't go the way I would have liked to have seen it go). My prediction: Vikes-30, Pack-21

Hmm, I'll go on a limb here and say the game will be less than 6 points difference. Too bad we don't get to see Daunte get sacked a bunch of times again though. My prediction:
GB 27
MN 23The most frustrating thing about GB this year is that they started 1-7 and actually outscored their opponents (cumulatively obviously), so obviously they aren't that bad on either side of the field and most of the games could have gone either way...at least 4 of them were by a TD or less. Not their year, I agree, but I'm still a fan and I'm not going to say "wait til next year" because there are too many variables. Again, predicting a close game w/ GB pulling off the win....on the final drive
