0 Vikings embarrass the Bears 36-10!! Posted by DieHardFans | at 1:37 AM

The Chicago Bears entered this season, under the illusion that they were capable of competing with the Minnesota Vikings for the division title. This however, wasn’t to be. After a 36-10 thrashing at the Metrodome, the teams are now separated by six games, after playing just 11 in total.



This said, allot of the season had gone well for Chicago, with some areas of its play running strong. This wasn’t the case on Sunday though and almost every player in a Chicago jersey had a bad game. Jay Cutler threw two more interceptions. Matt Forte ran for just 27 yards on eight carries. The offensive line was kept in check all day long. However, despite the fact the Bears were clearly lacking, it’s only right that we give the Vikings full credit for their heart, determination and ability to outplay.

Brett Favre was strong yet again. He's playing better than he's ever played before in his career and is certainly enjoying his football at the minute! His pass rate had previously been 99.5. After shredding the Bears for 392 yards and three touchdowns, it is quickly soaring to 120 to date.

He's thrown 24 TDs this season compared with just three interceptions and he is certainly the man of the hour. But these Vikes are 10-1 and don't appear to have a single weakness right now. Favre is your MVP by miles, though he's getting plenty of help. Percy Harvin is growing as a player and Sidney Rice is a legitimate go-to receiver. Shiancoe is a phenomenal red zone target and we know about Adrian Peterson, but Chester Taylor is also someone to watch. They have the best defensive line in football and the offensive line is no pushover either.

It’s fair to say that the guys are on fire right now and are gathering the momentum to really take the league by storm. This said, their next matchup in Arizona won't come easy, so they'll be scoreboard watching Saints games in hopes the road to the Super Bowl runs through Minnesota!

0 Favre overcomes all his emotions to pulls a Win at Lambeau against the Packers. Posted by DieHardFans | at 5:01 AM

Love him or hate him Favre is an awesome player. Fans previously wore shirts calling Favre everything from "Traitor" to "Judas" and even “Drama Queen."

One fan carried a poster with "True Legends Don't Wear Purple." Behind the Vikings' bench, someone hung a "Welcome Back to Lambeau Field ... B-R-E-N-T" sign, but once again, he got one over on his old team and is 2-0 against them. Favre took the field at Lambeau on Sunday as the visitor, and walked out a hero to those that love purple, all at the expense to a side he played with for 16 seasons.

It was tough to watch, but in the end, Favre did what he does best, gunning his way to a win. He outplayed Aaron Rodgers, and beat the Packs just when it looked like Green Bay was ready to rally and put together a win that would have made the NFC North race a lot more interesting to watch.

When asked for comment, Favre said: “Packers fans cheer for the Packers first, I know that. I hope that everyone in the stadium watching tonight said, ‘I sure hate those jokers on the other side, but he does play the way he’s always played.’” And Favre played well. He completed 17 of 28 passes for 244 yards and four touchdowns without an interception. He led the team to a 38-26 win, putting Minnesota at 7-1 and the Packers at 4-3. It would now seem that they need to win just about every game, whilst praying that the Vikings collapse.

0 Defense steps up a notch as the Steelers sweep the Vikings of their Feet... Posted by DieHardFans | at 12:42 AM

Steelers defense storms past Vikings to steal a convincing win!

It may have been a long time coming, but the infamous Steelers defense, and their trade mark big-play, has finally paid off. The side came out victors on Sunday afternoon, after a hard fought game in Heinz Field.



They cruised back to form, stopping the Vikings in their tracks with a pair of huge fourth quarter plays in a 27-17 win to move to 5-2. It was the first time since 1998 that the defense had scored two TD’s in a game. The points were crucial, as the first made it 20-10, whilst the second sealed the win to make it 27-17. Favre threw an important pass that Chester Taylor couldn’t contain. It bounced off his face and shoulder pads, falling directly into the Pittsburgh Steelers laps. Before they were unable to say “we’re still undefeated” the game was over.

They achieved not one, but two defensive touchdowns in the last six minutes! The Minnesota Vikings made up important yards, and controlled the time of possession. However, it was those key plays that proved to be the final nail in an imminent coffin for the Vikings. They have certainly improved their pass rush defense and secondary play and it is certainly safe to say that the offensive balance between Favre’s vertical passing attack and Peterson’s ground game is bang on!

However, the critics have been out in full force of late, many accusing the Vikings of giving up throwing away important touchdowns. The Vikings don’t appear to be lacking in discipline on the training pitch, but the results appear to be disagree.

They may well be looking at the blip as a blessing in disguise. It is the difference between being good, and being elite. With a little more concentration and hard work, the boys may still pull through this season!

0 Favre making his presence felt as the Vikings(6-0) considered super special going into Week 7! Posted by DieHardFans | at 11:43 PM

The Minnesota Vikings have been through a number of “special” moments. The 98 Vikings were the most explosive offensive force that the NFL had to offer, bar the infamous Patriots.

With Randall Cunningham handing the ball off to Robert Smith success was their middle name. The 15 – 1 season was spoiled only by a mid-season loss in Tampa Bay. They have proven that they can slay the bigger teams against all odds, with the likes of Brett Favre, who has previously been classed as over rated, proving every bit of his worth!

However, fans have now been won over by the way he runs down field to throw a block on a much larger player just because that’s how he plays the game.

He is an ambassador for at least some of the things that are right about the NFL, but he has more importantly, added real weight and strength to a team that is getting better and better!

0 Colts Cruise Against Seahawks as Manning Reaches Another Milestone Posted by DieHardFans | at 11:35 PM

This might well be the most impressive start to this season yet for Peyton Manning. The Indianapolis Colts crushed the Seattle Seahawks in Sunday’s game, beating them 34-17 to win the 13th game on the spin. Manning was on fire, displaying his trademark touchdown passes in the first half, matching Fran Tarkenton’s record. The stadium erupted from the moment he connected with Reggie Wayne on a 5- yard pass in the 2nd quarter.

He is now third on the NFL's career list with 342 trailing only Marino (420) and Brett Favre (469). He received a standing ovation from both his team and opposition. Seattle coach Jim Mora said. "He's one of the finest of all times."

0 Favre achieves yet another record on night filled with emotion Posted by DieHardFans | at 4:56 AM

Legendary quarterback; Brett Favre has achieved yet another record, on top of his succession of achievements on the field. He has been crowned the first quarterback in history to beat all 32 NFL teams and some may say he saved the best for last; the Green Bay Packers. The long standing veteran of the field achieved the feat in his first game against his former team.

True to form, Favre was cool and calm personified as he completed 3-touchdown passes, covering 271 yards to grab a 30-23 victory on Monday night. He celebrated with a cheeky body bump with former Packers kicker & current team-mate; Ryan Longwell.

Brett wore his heart on his sleeve on what he described as the most emotional night of his career. and team mate Andrew Peterson said: “I definitely wanted to get this win for Brett. He tried to neglect it all week, but we all knew how much it meant to him”.

The game was Brett’s sixth in a Vikings jersey and fans and critics alike were out in full force for this one, as flash photography and roaring fans saw Brett cruise to a well earned victory.
