Vikings 27 - Chiefs 16

Things are at least starting off looking like the 1998 season. As some of you remember the Vikings won all their pre-season games that year. While I know that the pre-season is meaningless, none the less, a win is a win.

Nate Burleson showed up today and made the statement that there is life after Randy. While our recieving corps took a hit this offseason, we still have some pretty decent guys running down the field trying to catch balls.

While we are on the subject of running down the field, Moore allevitated some fears about the running game. We may have lost the "Whizzanator Perpatrator" for the season, but the depth chart is still as deep as it was last year.

How about the defense. Considering that starters ussually don't play past the first half in preseason games, the Vikings were showing shades of Tony Dungy, holding the Chiefs to a field goal in the first half. Considering the Chiefs had one of the better offenses in the leauge last year, being able to shut them down in the first half with all the starters signals that good times are in store.

It's going to be a good season, with evidence of this already sprouting out of the rubberized dirt of the Metrodome. The defense held up, the receiveing corps responed with "Randy who?", and the running game has not skipped a beat. Brad Johnson the good luck charm, bringing division titles back to the Twin Cities. All we need to do now is get to the Super Bowl. Considering our record of 0-4 in the big game, I would have to say that we are due. This is our year.
