Go Team!

It's been a treat to follow the Vikes so far this season. Although the offense has been anemic, the defense has been solid. In their worst effort of the first 5 games, they surrendered 19 points to the Bears, who lead the NFL in scoring thru 5 games.

Of course, the Vikings have produced respectable defensive efforts in September and October of past seasons, only to falter in the stretch.

This is a new team, though, with a new owner, a new head coach, much new personnel and a refreshingly new attitude. They have some young receivers on the offense that could develop into a reasonable offensive threat.

The Vikings are currently 3-2. If the defense stays tough and the offense comes around a little, they've got a shot at the post season.
