Vikings Monday Night

Its never a good start when Aaron Rodgers and the Packers offense step on the field for the first time with a 7-0 lead.

Mostly deserved but there is a lot of Aaron Rodgers love flowing from braodcasters now. Quarterback lovers Ron Jaworski and Jon Gruden really let their emotions flow last night. It reminds me of the days when some yahoo named Brett Favre played at Lambeau.

The Vikings really need safeties in a bad way. Not since Joey Browner in the '80s have they had a real playmaker/enforcer back there. Robert Griffith, Corey Chavous and Darren Sharper had their moments but its been a severe weakness of late. With Aaron Rodgers, Jay Cutler and Matthew Stafford in the division, the Vikings really need some game changers at safety. Give those quarterbacks some worries.

I love hearing Jon Gruden rattle off play calls. His enthusiasm for football is hilarious.

I love seeing the Packers run Ryan Grant over James Starks. Not sure why they do it but I love it.

Charles Woodson is awesome. He should retire. He really should.

17-0 at the half. The punt return touchdown by Randall Cobb was a killer. You can't give Rodgers a lead before he even steps on the field. The Vikings defense only gave up one touchdown in the first half. The Vikings offense has to finish drives.

The second half was a hot mess.

Looks like the officials just look away on Packer penalties. One offsides penalty is ridiculous. They sure make it easier for an already terrific team. The Packers don't really need any favors.

Seeing a healthy Aaron Rodgers not on the field with ten minutes to go says it all.

That was a fantastic catch by rookie tight end Kyle Rudolph. He really needs to see more passes thrown his way. His size and hands make him such a fantastic weapon. Rudolph has a very bright future.

I sure wish that all the Vikings played with the passion of Jared Allen, Adrian Peterson and Percy Harvin.

Christian Ponder is a keeper. In a bleak season the future looks brighter.

The Houston Texans losing quarterback Matt Schaub for the season is just terrible. The team has been more than coping with the devastating losses of receiver Andre Johnson for several games and pass rusher Mario Williams for the season. I was looking at the Texans as a favorite in the AFC. The Texans have an awesome running game with Arian Foster and Ben Tate. That will greatly help the frightening Matt Leinart.
