I guess the Vikings are going for accuracy over leg strength.  I'd say that's a good move given how inept the offense has looked this preseason.  The Vikings can't be giving away points like they did in Walsh's last season.

After the Walsh fiasco (big leg, untrustworthy accuracy) I can't say that I'm surprised.  Fans would have lost their minds if the trend continued.

Too bad they didn't get any extra point reps in the preseason...

They actually did...  Just not from the starting offense.

Are we sure this wasn't over the moment Zimmer saw Koehn was a rookie? :p
