The AP situation clearly affected the players, but I'm sure they'll be more focused this Sunday.
What is it about them that gives the impression they'll be more focused this week? I think, if anything, they'll be less focused. Last week, they were coming of a win, and the AP thing was kind of new. Now they're coming off a loss, which will shake what little confidence that crappy team might have had, and have had all week to answer Peterson questions. AND we're the most dominate team in the history of football at home. A 21 point win would have to be considered a close game given our home dominance.

I think it is definitely fair to expect a blowout and be disappointed by anything less, given all those circumstances. Anything is possible of course, and we might find that this year we're just as bad at home as we've been on the road. But if we're to have any hope in this team making a turnaround, you have to look for a blowout this week or our chances are pretty dead.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

Doesn't matter who the Vikings have not playing if we don't execute

Brown's were missing their 3 best players and still beat us.

Re: Saints’ Robinson owns up to mistakes

Well, as someone who has watched all of the Vikes' games this past decade including preseasons - I see a definite change for the better. That being said, I wouldn't bet against the Saints at their home.

But we're 0 - 2 and if we go to 2 - 2, there will be relief.
Yeah, but we were all expecting 4-0.

The problem with Robinson is that when he is playing cornerback, he can't find the ball or the man... He's not even close.

Keep something in mind, try not to let an 0-2 stat change your perception of the team and its ability. Last season when we were 2-0, the sky was still falling for some.

IIRC my post game thread celebrating 2-0 in 2013 was met with some.. shall we say, a few didn't share in my optimism.

I never played college ball, but when I was in high school we didn't have the option to line up wherever we wanted. If we were playing off too much, the coach told us to move our asses up and that's where we played. It can't be possible that the coaches are telling him to line up wherever he wants? Has anyone asked this question to Robinson or the coaches?

To me, a simple rule might be: "If the offense has X yards to go for a first down, you should be playing no more than X-1 yards off the LOS".

I admit I'm not a defensive mastermind but that seems like a good start.

I found the shirt I was wearing today, in the furthest corner in our spare bedroom. I don't even remember how it got there!!
