Monday, September 14, 2015; 7:20pm PST Where: Levi's Stadium TV: ESPN; KPIX 5 (local) Local Radio: 107.7 FM; 1050 AM Please post all your pregame and gameday reactions here. If you have an end of half analysis, create a new thread. Make sure nobody has created a similar thread before posting. All other threads created during game time will be locked/merged. Vikings 2014 Rankings: Record: 7-9-0 Offense (yards gained): Passing - 28th Rushing - 14th Defense (yards allowed): Passing - 7th Rushing - 25th Vikings Starting Lineup with college scouting report: http://www.ourlads.com/nfldepthcharts/depthchart/MIN A Few Key Matchups - NaVarro Bowman vs #28 RB Adrian Peterson Hide your kids.....Bow is back! Two premier players make a comeback. They should collide a few times. - Jordan Devey vs #73 DT Sharrif Floyd Devey is a surprise starter after a preseason trade. Sharrif Floyd, entering his third season, is often the featured 3-tech in MIN's 4-3 Under front (shown below) and had a strong 2014. They have butted heads when Devey started for NE and will probably go 1v1 many times. 2014 - Week 2 (Devey is the RG #65) - Torrey Smith vs #30 LCB Terence Newman The 37 year old CB came over from CIN as a free agent during the offseason. They have gone head to head when Newman was with CIN and TSmith with BAL. - Aaron Lynch vs #68 RT T.J. Clemmings Lynch is looking to establish himself as the teams' best edge rusher. Vikings lost their solid six year veteran right tackle Phil Loadholt to an Achilles injury in preseason. Rookie 4th round pick T.J. Clemmings is now the starter. Reasons to boooo the Vikings - In the 1987 playoffs, the Vikings upset a heavily favored 49ers team in the Divisional Round, 36-24. - In the last encounter, the Vikings defeated the visiting 49ers 24-13 on September 23, 2012. - The Vikings made one of the most lopsided trades in NFL history by acquiring Herschel Walker, which helped provide the Cowpies with assets to build their 90's dynasty. Draft picks that resulted in the selections of Emmitt Smith, Alvin Harper, Darren Woodson, and Russell Maryland (indirectly). Hide yo kids LET'S GO NINERS!

Definitely need to take some more deep shots to Smith though.

Next week is Vernon's. We're going 2-0.

Would have been nice to see them atleast show the post game interviews. Bowman back and Hyde going the F##k off would have been good to see some coverage. ESPN sucks

They will on NFL Network in a couple minutes.

Haha mrob tried to call himself a running qb to compare himself to Kap and McGinest said "yeah but you couldn't run like kaepernick haha"

Thanks, that splains it..70's & 80's and Berman was involved? Well who wasn't during that time, as Dylan sang, "We chopped through the day, and we chopped through the night; and the snow, it was outrageous!"

Steelers get 10days, 49ers get 5 days!!!

plus have to travel cross country and start at 10:00 am. our benefit though is no bell or bryant

No Pouncey as well. Niners will be smart to study what NE did with Gronk.

When they really needed it, he did make a couple of nice catches in the 4th quarter. I do expect him to step it up as the season goes on.

And use ALL 3 TE's, all 3 of of them are capable of beating LB's and doing damage. Yes even McDonald but he's such a good blocker

He's a comedy when catching the ball, I'm expecting a drop but dude gets open. He's just so awkward, dudes always on the juggs and catching with his hands and come game time he looks like he's just learning to catch.

This! He did better than many to shake the rust off tonight. I expect him to be a major part of the offense going forward. Made some really nice blocks for Hyde.

He really is a mystery. You watch the practice clips and he's catching the ball away from his body smoothly. Then the games happen and it doesn't come natural.

That's who he's always been though, I've come to accept it. The dude still gets open, makes plays, and he usually shows up in big games.
