Giants receive the kickoff then fumble and the Vikes promptly jump on the ball for the turnover.Edinger shoves big number 99 in the scrum.:horns:

 

[Yankee23Fan]

Giants fumble opening kickoff.Bennett in as the RB to start.

 

[Yankee23Fan]

Good DEF stop there by Big Blue.3 and out. Bennett didn't do anything great. 2 carries for 3 yards.EDIT: and a missed FG! Go Big Blue!

 

[Facecow]

A rather listless 3 and out ending with an Edinger miss.Nuts.

 

[Facecow]

Woulda been a nice catch if Carter coulda hung on. 3 and out for Gmen and a punt.

A quick hijack!I'd like to thank our local Fox station for shrinking the game screen to spend 10 minutes warning me about a winter storm watch in the MOUNTAINS of Colorado above 11,000 feet. I know Fox gets the wackos to watch the fair and balanced stuff but I'm pretty sure there are no unabombers living above 11,000 freaking feet - not to mention normal people. Besides there are always winter storms in the mountains - no one needs to be warned.Thanks - now back to the game

For someone watching, is Robinson Playing?

I think I speak for every Twin Cities viewer when I say you'll get minimal sympathy from us.Uh oh! It's raining in International Falls! Better spend 50 minutes analyzing it. For Minnesota news stations, they basically fetishsize their weather.

Didn't you just do to us what you din't like Fox doing to you?

Interception! Darren Sharper takes the ball at the Giants 20 yard line.

 

[tampa bay rowdies]

Is this Bennet's chance to fall on his face again?? Any Moore sightings?

 

[Facecow]

I haven't noticed Moore or Robinson. If they've been on the field they haven't been targets.Another missed FG - this time a Giants block.

 

[Lynch30]

GG Vikes 0-2 in the red zone. Thank god Manning looks like crap...

 

[Facecow]

Correction! Moore just returned the punt for 9 yards.Another bad offensive series for the Giants. Manning isn't getting any help from his receivers in addition to some shoddy play of his own.Should be 6 - 0 Vikes but stands at 0's across the board.

 

[Facecow]

Wow. Tice almost joined Culpepper on the IR. Took a hard shot to the knee when one the Giants ran out of bounds. Looked brutal.Johnson sacked. Another 3rd and long coming up.

 

[tampa bay rowdies]

7 carries....8 yards! Can we get some Mewelde??

 

[realblue]

7 carries....8 yards! Can we get some Mewelde??

C'mon Bennett looked great against DET. (Tice doesn't understand that really doesn't mean much).

 

[shadyridr]

Wow Minnesota's WRs are truly bad. None of them can get any separation or open at all.

 

[Facecow]

I believe that's the first 1st Down for either team - 4:00 remaining in the first quarter.Another drop by a Giants receiver.

 

[tampa bay rowdies]

Tice is a friggin monkey!! He will have no job in Minny next yr! What are the chances he uses Moore at all today?

 

[shadyridr]

Eli Vick

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

I forgot I had this game on the other station.

 

[Facecow]

Eli Vick

 

[MSULions]

manning 1 for 8? is it him or drops?

 

[Bri]

only need 30 more catches today from ya Shockey, get going!(priest owner)

 

[msommer]

unfortunately slim to none

 

[Bri]

manning 1 for 8? is it him or drops?

doesn't look comfy yet IMO, nerveshe can be quite streaky though. WOuldn't be surprised if he goes 6 for 6 and the stats even out some

 

[shadyridr]

manning 1 for 8? is it him or drops?

Little of both

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Sharper INT return for TD.

 

[Bri]

nice tackling Eli

 

[jwvdcw]

vikings D came to play today...TD Sharper.

 

[Facecow]

Interception! Darren Sharper picks it off and returns 80 yards for a Vikes TD!!!:horns:

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

nice tackling Eli

He saw what happened to Bulger a few weeks ago.

 

[shadyridr]

Too bad I had to start Brad Johnson today. Both defenses look good.

 

[Courtjester]

I knew it was coming. Any QB I start in the Footballguy' s Tourney has a terrible game... :(

 

[Billy Bats]

vikings D came to play today...TD Sharper.

I think it has more to do with Eli not showing up so far. The Giants are handing the game on a silver platter.

 

[Bri]

tiki 48 yards

 

[Facecow]

48 yard screen to Tiki. Good blocking.

 

[Yankee23Fan]

Ok, granted this game just blows so far, but either there is something wrong with my TV or the crowd is dead. Make some noise people.

 

[Facecow]

Shockey gets loads of attention from Vikes D so far.Almost another INT for Vikes.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Manning thinks the white jerseys are Giants players.

 

[Bri]

Manning thinks the white jerseys are Giants players.

peyton and eli have been switching teams this year, no ones noticed shhheli's back with the Giants

 

[Facecow]

Feely's a machine. Another FG added to his great season.Vikes 7 - Giants 3

 

[Sweeper]

Tice is a coaching genuis ... Who else would put Micheal Bennett in there after one failed attempt aftter another, game after game. And he tosses him in there today and so far has racked up 7 yards on 8 carries : :

Let's say that Moore's wrist is too hurt for every down duty - who would you start? Fason?

 

[fflnut]

Moore's not hurting right? WTF is wrong with Tice?

I want to beat Tice!!!! Moore had a decent game last week as far as ypc, but kept getting subbed in for by Bennet....why now when he has not done it all year??? Give Moore a ####### carry!

 

[Jules Winnfield]

The Vikings are a really bad team. Tice is a really bad coach.

 

[Facecow]

I don't get the criticism of Tice in this particular situation. Moore has a history of playing with pain "issues" and he's currently banged up with a wrist injury. Bennett is healthy and had a nice game last week.
