New Field Same Results

The biggest news of the day was not that the Vikings were going to be playing their first outdoor football game since the 80's, or that they were going to be playing at TCF Bank, or the fact the Peterson was not playing, but it was that Brett Favre was going to start for the Vikings. Favre got the Vikings rolling on their first drive with a TD pass to Percy Harvin. You could here the fans cheers echoing throughout campus. Soon Favre reverted back to his 2010 season form and threw a pick, and was eventually knocked out of the game.

Then Joe Webb came in, a player who i think many of us were excited to see. I wanted to see what he could do at the QB position. He looked to be a better runner than passer. He ended with an abysmal passer rating of 38.8 he completed 15 of 26 for 129 yards and had 2 ints to go along with it.He was able to move the ball with his feet as he had six rushes for 38 yards and one touchdown. He was just not able to make second read after the bears had his first read covered. Even though he did not play well statistically, he leaves fans excited. He is the type of player were he can create a big play at any moment. Michael Vick is the type of player we all wish Joe Webb could be, but at first glance he has a long way to go. The Vikings safeties did not play a very strong game, they were beaten many times in there basic cover 2 set. The Vikings need to address the safety position in the off season.

. In fact if you are like me you are probably wishing the Vikes would have taken a chance on Vick last year and had him learn under Favre for a year and then he could be doing the same things in Minnesota like he is doing for the Eagles. You cant tell me that Vick wouldn't look great in a  Vikings jersey
Our quarterback of the future problem would be solved and he would fit nicely with the pieces the Vikes have in place.

The outcome of the game might not be all bad for Vikings fans, the good news is the Packers cant win the division and there chances of making the playoffs are slowly fading away. If the Vikings don't make the playoffs at least we can hope that the Packers don't make them either. Also the Vikings improved there draft status.

Highlights of the game

Percy Harvin was able to catch 5 balls for 72 yards and one touchdown. It was good to see him back out on the field after he missed the last two weeks with a migraine. He has been a steady bright spot for the Vikings during this tough season.

Webb was able to run it in for his first NFL touchdown he looked good running the ball.
