Week 1

Green Bay 0-0 at Minnesota 0-0 (Packers -11)
We trail 9-7 at the half on the strength of our defense and they come out even stronger after the break, shutting the Pack down and forcing 3 turnovers. Foles manages the game going 17-30, 158 yards and 2 TD’s, while Adrian Peterson and Darren Sproles rush for 73 and 62 yards respectively. CB Xavier Rhodes snags 2 picks and SS Harrison Smith records 13 tackles.
Final: Minnesota 23 Green Bay 9

We lose DE Lawrence Jackson for the year with a ruptured Achilles and Laurinaitis could be out 3 weeks with an Achilles strain. We sign MLB Cayden Scarbrough to replace Jackson.

Week 2

Minnesota 1-0 at San Diego 1-0 (Vikings -3)
My biggest worry is allayed somewhat as we pile up 403 yards in offense and are dominant on the ground as Peterson goes 29-173 and a TD, plus 111 receiving yards. Foles again does what is asked of him, 13-20, 208 yards 2 TD, 0 Int. We intercept Philip Rivers 4 times as CB Chris Cook grabs 2 with FS Andrew Sendejo and SS Harrison Smith getting 1 each.
Final: Minnesota 40 San Diego 16

The injuries pile up as we lose starting RG Jamon Meredith for 6 weeks, strained abductor and starting CB Xavier Rhodes for 5 with a broken Ankle. Laurinaitis sat this one out, but I hope he can come back for game 3.

Week 3

Minnesota 2-0 at Atlanta 2-0 (Falcons -4)
The injuries finally take their toll as the Matt Ryan (30-37, 371, 3 TD) led Falcons shred us for 474 yards of total offense, with Roddy White and Julio Jones combining for 18 catches and almost 190 yards. Nick Foles is only 18-34, 192 with 1 TD and 2 Int, while Peterson gains 25 yards on 8 carries as we fell behind 17-0 early and had to abandon our ground and pound game. In a twist of irony, Toby Gerhart scored the Falcons first TD on a 3 yard run and was the game’s leading rusher (14-48).
Final: Atlanta 45 Minnesota 13

Straight up ass kicking, but nobody else got hurt. Our #1 pick Jessie Walter has 7 tackles, 2 assists and 2 sacks through 3 games.

Week 4 – Bye

Ponder watch – He is now a Dallas Cowboy as his quest for a home continues. Has appeared in 2 games and is 1-2 for 8 yards.

Week 5

Seattle 2-1 at Minnesota 2-1 (Vikings by 3)
Our fourth game and we rebound from the week 3 debacle nicely, as our defense plays pissed off. Though we are outgained 285 to 258 we start inside Seahawk territory 5 times and they only start on our side of the 50 once. New FS Tavon Wilson takes a Kellen Clemens pass back 48 yards for a score and Laurinaitis looks his old self racking up 7 tackles, 7 assists and intercepting a pass. Adrian Peterson carries 20 times for 125 yards, with Sproles adding 50 yards on 15 carries.
Final: Minnesota 37 Seattle 10

It probably helped that Russell Wilson missed this game for the Seahawks with sore knee, but that’s Football. Everyone will be back next week on our side except out 3 IR players (Kalil, Cassel and Jackson). We trail the Packers by 1/2 a game in the North.
