Vikings Defeat Giants 44-7 01/03/2010

All Pro Receiver Sidney Rice
The New York Giants could have saved some hotel and airfare and mailed in their game on Sunday. The Giants looked pathetic. Heartless. Losers. And that was bad having to play the Vikings, a team that needed a win to remain in the hunt for the elusive second seed of the NFC and a bye week in the playoffs.
The Vikings came out swinging knocking the Giants out in the first possession. Brett Favre completed over 80% of his passes for 316 yards and 4 touchdowns for an almost perfect 148.7 passer rating.
A welcome sight, Adrian Peterson did not fumble the ball and when he was in heavy coverage or in contact with defenders, he wrapped both hands around the ball. His stats for the game, 9 carries, 54 yards, and one touchdown.
Sidney Rice came to play Sunday, as he has every week. His 6 catch for 112 yards and two touchdowns is the reason why he is in the pro bowl.
Percy Harvin solidified his rookie of the year status with a 7 catch for 59 yards performance and a rush for 22 yards.
Visanthe Shiancoe, tight end, 7 catches, 94 yards, one touchdown.
Jared Allen with another sack and a forced fumble. Chad Greenway with a diving interception. The offensive line avoiding any sacks on Favre, Longwell kicking straight and true, the defense holding the Giants to 181 total yards.
That is how a team responds to adversity. That is how a team steps up to the next level. That is how a team takes home field advantage. That is exactly how a team is supposed to enter the playoffs. That is exactly why the Vikings will win.
The Vikings are at 12-4, NFC North Champs, second seed in the playoffs. An extra week off allowing the players to rest and heal up, Pat Williams, Hutchinson, Winfield.
It is now time for the Vikings to take create their own destiny, damn the gods and torpedoes, and reach what is in their grasp.
A SUPER BOWL TITLE!
SKOL VIKINGS!

The planets are aligned for the Vikes. Could be the year, with the Eagles losing avoiding the Vikings to travel to cold Philly.

Amen to that. The Vikings will play in a dome for all their playoff games. Either at home or at New Orleans.
Max Jackl said
I got to say the Vikings looked impressive Sunday. I think your going to play Green Bay again.
LOTGK said
Yes, they did play well. However, the Giants mailed in their effort. The Vikings need to get healthy, Winfield, Williams, Hutchinson. I’m betting we play Dallas first.

I told you before. Brett Favre and I have a deal. I get his soul, he gets a trophy. Its a done deal.
LOTGK said
This scares me. Every deal that the devil has made with the exception of the fiddle of gold to Johnny, the devil always left out an important detail allowing him to win.
