History is always the best predictor of the future. However, after that performance in his first game after just 2 weeks of practice in that atmosphere against a good team, you can't help but feel optimistic. Let's see what he can do with this team and that warm and fuzzy feeling you get knowing your elite defense can pick you up if needed.

I was also at the game Sunday night. That stadium is something else. The noise is deafening. And no problems getting beer throughout the game.

oh i'd absolutely be optimistic if i was a Vikings fan. i'm just saying we've seen this movie before...

Vikes looking very good this year. Bradford was very solid and Diggs, per usual, torched us. One of the worst games I've seen Rodgers/Packer offense play in a long time. Some of that had to do with a very good defensive front, but Rodgers needs to be better.

That said, I'm looking forward to the rematch at Lambeau.

How much did one of those (or several) set you back?

The corner photo of the stadium lit up in purple (image 14) is really cool.

Great stuff man.
Love the Waynes & Harrison pic.

Is that Xavier Rhodes hugging Waynes?
Dig that picture too.

Nice work!

[Nick@Night]

This defense, you guys.

[YouNeverKnow25]

yeah kicked the panthers asses, collectively and utterly. congrats.

coaching was much better than the panthers' too

[hailtopitt]

Vikings are becoming a very fun team to watch

never thought that would be possible with Zimmer as the head coach

[Nick@Night]

Right now the only real turd in the punch bowl is Blair Walsh. How much longer do they possibly put the fate of a game in his hands? Zimmer flat out admitted they went for two after their second touchdown because of Blair's miss of the PAT after the first.

Tall boys were $9.25. So pretty much $10 a pop. My friend and I conservatively guessed that we spent $150 on beer at the stadium.

Great stuff, Ben! Did you take all these pictures? How did you get around the stadium so quick during the halftime show? Did you get a date with Jordin Sparks?

[Nick@Night]

Blair Walsh will be known the rest of the season (or the rest of his season until he's cut) as "motherfucker", per Mike Zimmer. Good win last night, this team is a force to be reckoned with.

[AJF_41]

team is LEGIT

made it to both home games
stadium is so fun, great atmosphere - gets loud in there

hope his D keeps going
no picks from bradford either (knocks on wood)

that walsh contract is looking like an albatross right now. he could go 8 straight games making everything and i still wouldn't trust him. the vikings do, obviously (though zimmer clearly has lost some of his), but if he actually costs them another game at some point, they have to bring someone else in, right?.

[Nick@Night]

Last team in the league with a donut in the L column. Walsh made everything he put a foot to yesterday. D still kicking the ever-loving shit out of opposing offenses. This is great. Bradford/Thielen for president.

[UNLTrpt]

Hard not to get excited about this team. The Eagles game will be an interesting one out of the bye. I think Wentz can sling it but a rookie QB seeing a defense like this? That's gonna be a tough one for him.

[Nick@Night]

The rook will probably get a chance to formally meet the Everson law firm: Griffin & Griffen.

[42graystreet]

Where does the Super Bowl parade go down if Nicollett is still a shitshow of construction? That's what I want to know.

[Nick@Night]

That would be a nice solution to have to figure out. Pretty much everywhere downtown is a nightmare right now.

[Nick@Night]

Eagles are coming back down to Earth pretty hard since starting 3-0. I don't see the Vikings having trouble with them on Sunday.

[thom hudson]

well that didn't go very well...

o-line shit the bed yesterday.
need a big bounce back win on halloween.

[Nick@Night]

O-line is a mess, and Zimmer had no problem calling them out. If they can't beat the Bears, sound the alarm.

[Nick@Night]

They can't possibly lose tonight against, Chicago, can they? The Bears are like the Browns West.

[thom hudson]

what a complete embarrassment.

last night was that movie again

[Nick@Night]

Choking on the Kool-Aid, it's now coming out my nose. It burns. The 2015 Falcons are laughing their asses off right now. "Been there, bros. Enjoy the ride down towards obscurity and a .500 record."

[skwormin]

that was a funny game last night. You guys made our defense look good.

i was going to reply yesterday that they could- they seem to have trouble in chicago no matter how bad the bears are. but then i was like, nah they've done well since zimmer got here.
