Vikings vs. Bears

[LMITOUT]

Sharper is going to need to find a new athletic supporter after the move Hester just put on him.

Also, these uniforms look much better than the new ones.

[DTro]

yep uniforms look pretty good

What were the refs looking at, not to see Gus get blindsided 3 secs after the throw

[Dave S]

It was a late hit for sure. Gus added a little drama to it though.

[Dave S]

What in the world was Tillman just thinking?

it wasnt the move at all, sharper is just so uncoordinated that he tripped before hester ever even got there.

and then he proceeded to blow a tackle on the long forte run.

he's long done, and needs to find the bench

[CrappiesNCats]

calling all bears calling all bears.....

you forgot to show up to the metrodome tonite.

Hibernation perhaps?

huh? the bears have one of the worst pass defenses in the league. i like the idea of riding AP in the game, but with chicago you might as well pass, because they cant stop it

What did I say? about all i missed was the special teams call..

[Scott M]

I still don't know why the Bears would run 4 times inside the Vikings 10 yard line, including on 4th down...Take the points against that run defense...changed the whole complexion of the game.

[SledNeck]

wow, sharper with a HUGE play!

[snoozebutton]

Congrats to the first place Vikings.

[CrappieFshr651]

right on, go vikes

[Mudcutter]

don't know for sure what you mean,, but on the goalline stand,, the bears passed on 1st Down,, only to be shut down on the next 3 running plays. GAME OVER!!! ORTON for all the bears fans out there is OVER-rated!!!!! They may have a RB, but still no QB.

Tillman as a CB for the bears is joy to face 2 times a season---he can cover with help, but can't takcle ,,,

can the Vikes hang on with a tough schedule??

[Sandmannd]

I think that was one of the better games of the season. Pretty enteraining if you're a vikes fan with some great plays. The goaline stand, the 99 yd pass, those were the big two for me. I don't know how you don't call that late hit on Gus.

Ditto! Also watching AP run that first half and watching Allen wreak havoc on Kyle Horton's health!

[Fazerfish]

One Childress rip - why didn't he take AP out towards the end of the game. He looked pretty tired and hurt a little bit, yet we keep sending him out there? Taylor is more than able to run the clock down and get a couple first downs.

Other than that, I guess the coach did an alright job.

[fritz179]

I think this is one of the most satisfying wins of the year. It seemed a lot of everything was working well. Frerotte had an above average game, doing a little more than he needed to. I saw a lot of reciever running some great routes. The line and the running backs were completely dominant, that bear's D didn't have a chance. Our defense is playing at a whole other level right now! The line is unstoppable, the coverage is much more impressive than last year and the backers are flying around without hesitation. I still think our special teams are mediocre at best right now, that's going to have to improve if we think we're going anywhere in January. Overall that was a very fun game to watch last night. Go Vikes!!!

I agree, not sure why he was in there. I thought I heard in his interview at the end of the game that he said he had a sprained ankel. Dude is a man for sure. But he shoulda been out, for sure if he was hurt.

[Wadinator]

I was on pins and needles at that point, horrified, praying to God that Peterson didn't get hurt.

He OBVIOUSLY should have been shut down for the night after we were up by three scores, as hard as he was running and as gimpy has he had looked on the sidelines a few times. The chance of injury skyrockets when your tired and dinged up. He was both, yet he was still in there when the game was out of reach.

Bad call to keep him in. Bad call.

AWESOME WIN! GO VIKES!

[toughguy]

Great game. Nice work on the special teams too. Much improvment there.

[Loos15]

I apologize for my "we can't pass" comment.

btw...go Jared Allen!

[pegleg]

I doubt if Kluwe and the Special Teams coach will be with the Vikes next year. I can't believe they keep punting down the middle of the field rather than towards the sidelines. Even if he shanks one, it is better than a long return.

[lawdog]

Klewe is one of the best punters in the game. He was a combined three yards away from pinning them on the one three times.

[Sandmannd]

Yea, Klewe is not the problem. Get some good coverage. He does his job well.
