Was I ever wrong. I had our boys pegged for a sloppy looking lose and they came out and looked better on both sides of the ball than I have seen in years. The D played well the first part of last season but the O just sort of limped along all season. This was truly a victory brought about by the whole team. Congrats Vikes and now for the the crow.

I didn't see our signature defense tonight, did I miss it?  Seems to me Zimmerman has been working on some new defense.  I like it.

So on an onside kick return you can just flip it out of bounds?

I didn't know that was legal. Haven't really seen that before.

Huh. You never stop learning.

It is pinned at the top of this page and recorded just after the game ended.  It will be a weekly thing heard only here on VikeFans.com

Here is Pete's 12 minute recap of what he saw, and a lot of what he liked.  This was recorded just 15 minutes after the final gun sounded, and Pete plans to do this each week after the game.  It will come to you live by Video at away games, as VikeFans will be there to cover them all but London.

Enjoy and give us your feedback.  This is all ad-libbed, so tell us what works and how we can do better.

A pretty excited Pete in this one!

How'd they do?  Anyone notice any improvements from last season?  B)  It's fun to see Sam drop back and have time to find his receivers.  They actually looked like a real offense out there!

It was a struggle on many running plays, but Sam easily had enough time to go down field starting in the 2nd quarter.  I'd say they played pretty solid; especially for the first game.  Hopefully they stay healthy, and keep improving. 

At one point early in the third quarter, Peterson and coach Sean Payton appeared to have a brief, tense exchange on the sideline that ended with the running back giving his coach a long, intense stare.
