Injury Reports, What to Look For, and More...Vikings at Colts
The Vikings face the Colts at Lucas Oil Field at noon today. Do the Vikings have what it takes to have their first 2-0 start since 2009?
Week two everybody! The Vikings got off to an exciting start last week with a 23-26 win over the Jaguars. Can they get two wins in a row?
Christian Ponder has dramatically improved over last season. When he connected with Adrian Peterson, they were unstoppable, and that's what I think the both of them will become this season in the NFL. They'll become an unstoppable duo that will be a force to be reckon with. That is my honest theory.

Christian Ponder improving even more since last week. Yeah! Last week Ponder looked great. Expect a little more from him against the Colts. Ponder had rough start against the Jaguars until he finally got the hang of it. Hoping it he'll get the ball going right away.
Better Defense? I hope so! The Vikings defensive line really needs to step it up, if we want win two of the season under our belts. You could see them struggling last week, but just like Ponder they were able to step it up later in the game. We might not be so lucky this time, especially with all the Luck on the Colts (Did you see what I did there?).
The first 2-0 start since the 2009. Do the Vikings have what it takes to repeat their 2009 season minus the Saints? Probably not, considering they're in the NFC North. But a 2-0 start isn't that unreasonable.
Lucas Oil Field, because our new one will be ten times bigger, and more extravagant! Yes, the Colts do have one of the best stadiums in the NFL, but by the time 2016 rolls around, our stadium will most likly make theirs look like the Metrodome. I know I shouldn't be talking but I'm still not over the fact that we're getting a new stadium! So take a good look at Lucas Oil Field...
