week 2: vikings @ bears 9/15 noon

vikings (0-1) @ bears (1-0)

bears came back against a good bengals team last week

need to avoid turnovers and sustain drives, which means hopefully better blocking to get adrian positive yards so we can avoid 3rd and longs so there is less pressure on ponder

any word on kevin williams?

Ill be watching Musgrave and his play calling. Need some unpredictable plays, if we're going to win or even have a chance.

Ready for some run run pass punt/pick football? Not me. We better see better.


Kevin Williams is "on track" to play Sunday. I know he's been practicing for the last couple days.

hopefully we can get a quick start, then can get after cutler (although the bears have improved their oline)

need to be careful with forte on screens

Very worrisome of our pass defense. Maybe D coordinator will mix things up and hoping josh Robinson has a good game.

any time you have the chance to draft a weak armed QB that can't read a defense in the top half of the first round and squander multiple seasons of one of the best running backs of all time, you gotta do it

hung around in a game we really shouldn't have - had a chance to win and couldn't do it

The biggest difference between last year and this year seams to be the defense. Last year the formula was score a TD offensively and either defensively or via special teams, take the lead and hold on. This season we can't stop anyone without a turnover.

running backs have been having great games against us so far, on the ground and through the air

ponder played better in the second half

need more patterson i'd say, maybe he doesn't have a good grasp on the offense as we hope and thats why he can't get on the field?

need to punch it in on the redzone too, can't settle for fgs
