It was one of the thrilling games I’ve ever witnessed.  This Sunday’s NFL game between my Minnesota Vikings and their historic rival – the Green Bay Packers gave me a scare and I really called out to heaven (literally) for help.

Some people like to go to the Alps to experience the heights and enjoy rush of adrenaline as they go slide with their skis or boards.  Other people prefer to lay on the beach under the sun to relax themselves.  Some would want to lay back and enjoy gazing at the stars at night.  While there are others who prefer to hunt and enjoy the primitive camping in the boonies with friends while keeping a close eye on their game species.

We are all different in so many ways and it applies to what we enjoyed doing and what we prefer doing.  For those people who enjoy hunting, November 8 has already been marked in their calendar for the start of the Open Season for Deer Hunting.  Hunting surely stirs the curiosity of those who doesn’t take part of it like myself.  Why would anyone (about half a million in Minnesota) sit for hours in a chilly duck blind?  And what’s the thrill in trying to kill an animal anyway?

The Vikings and the Saints certainly entertained fans in the stand and in the couches for close to three and a half hours of Monday Night Football.  And when all the action stopped and the clock finally showed 00:00, the Vikings came out a 30-27 road winner.

It wasn’t a smooth win for the Vikings.  The Saints had their home field advantage with  a raucous Louisiana Superdome crowd.  The absense of E. J. Henderson who is one of my favorite defensive player hurts the team.  The Saints made the first touchdown of the game.  But the Vikings didn’t give up so easily and they manage to overcome all the negative energy.  Even the impressive Saints passing game with the hot hands of Brees and the riveting performance of Mr. Bush did not stop the Vikings from notching their second victory of the season and their first road win of the 2008 campaign.

Frerotte To Lead the Charge

I have been following the Minnesota Vikings in their quest for victory for the National Football Leauge (NFL) of 2008.  Unfortunately, they have been unsuccessful on their first two games against the Green Bay Packers and the Indianapolis Colts.

Last Sunday’s game against the Colts has left an unsettling feeling.  They have started well with a 15 point lead and an incredibly strong field position.  But not until Peyton Manning (Colts’ QB) picked up his momentum and find his rhythm at the right time… yes shortly after the half-time.  Then things began to turn sour with the Vikings.  They kept kicking field goals (and missed some) when they have a strong field position.  They were able to run everywhere but inside the 20. Having this kind of performance, we have very little reason to think that they can squeeze out victory against the opponents that they have to beat if they are serious in competing at the Divisional not to mention the Conference, Championship.
