Vikings vs. Panthers Game Day Open Thread

Minnesota Vikings at Carolina Panthers, Dec 20, 2009 8:20 PM EST



Welcome back for a Sunday Night Edition of Panther Football my fellow Panther fans. Though the season has not gone as planned a victory tonight against the 11-2 Vikings would go a long way to restoring some of the lost confidence in this team.

The analysis has been done, the prognostications complete. There is nothing left to do but play the game!

This is now an Open Thread!

First half Offensive observations:

MAtt Morre is perfect if Davidson changes his offense to a west coast style. He needs short passes to open up the run.

The Vikings are playing hard to prevent the run.

John Fox is an idiot for giving up on the field goal.

I think he's enjoying himself

I predict he stays — he shows me he respects the system Meeks has installed, and I think he now sees the potential this team has for next year. I even predict he restructures a long-term, affordable contract to make it work, for him and the team. I suspect that shit last January was the work of his amateur, idiot agent.

Moore looking good. Panthers dominating.

I’m sure Procto went over to ROF to talk smack about the Bobcats. It’s hard to talk bad about a team and QB when they’re in the middle of this sort of performance

Good game. I certainly hope we lock up home field with a win over Tampa, because the games I saw last night and tonight could combine to make me really worried if we’re depending on beating you in Week 17.

Sapp was a nickel back for KC for years

noted for confronting opponents and nasty hits

often called for PF’s

punched an receiver in the privates to make a tackle once

released by KC and signed by Vikes

has played well for Vikings
