C'mon, you need to recognize that this year's Vikes are far removed from the miserable bunch they were these past couple of years. They outplayed the Pats this past Sunday in a number of ways, but made a lot of dumb mistakes that ultimately destroyed their game-plan. The AP situation clearly affected the players, but I'm sure they'll be more focused this Sunday.

Ok. But they're still the Matt Cassel led Vikes with no AP.

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.
