It was truly a talker Monday with many opinions. I love to sit back and listen. The talk of getting a new offensive coordinator seems to be a popular thought. It seems awfully early to be thinking that way but like I said it is people thoughts and I appreciate people willing to talk. The other popular subject is why only the 4th quarter does the team look so good. I wonder myself that as well but trust that the coaching staff will fix it. It is only 2 games in and not time to panic but concern I believe is valid.
The San Francisco 49ers after 2 games looks like a team that is on a mission. The win in Lambeau followed by a home win over a 2011 playoff team, Detroit Lions is quite the way to start the 2012 campaign. A strange schedule for the 49ers in the first 3 week they play all NFC North teams.
The thought at my work today was the 49ers will come to town and destroy the Vikings. A loss to the Colts and a win barely over Jacksonville has people concerned over how on earth can the Vikings compete with this power house from the NFC West.
49ers coach Jim Harbaugh was very successful at the University of Stanford then leaving and taking the 49ers job in 2011. His first year in San Francisco and he takes the team to the NFC Title game before losing to the eventual Super Bowl Champ, New York Giants.
The playmakers brought in added to an already talented roster at least on paper makes this challenge for the Vikings look like we have no chance.
I believe the one advantage the team has it is a home game and there will be 63,000 screaming Vikings fans making so much noise hopefully distracting the 49ers.
I remember back in 2009 the San Francisco 49ers came to Minnesota in Week 3 as well. The date back then was Sunday September 27th. The Vikings won on a late touchdown on a pass from Brett Favre to Greg Lewis. The Vikings were down 24-20 with fans holding their breath as they saw the ball sailing. I was at the other end and saw the catch but could not tell if Lewis was in or out of bounds. We all know the results of that.
The coach of the 49ers in 2009 was Mike Singletary and now he is the Vikings in 2012 Linebacker coach. The Vikings only have 13 players left from that team.
The 49ers finished 8-8 that year and now in 2012 come in on fire. Is there a hope? Always a hope, but cannot come out flat or the team will be in for a long Sunday.
The New Orleans Saints are 0-2, the Arizona Cardinals went into New England and beat the Patriots 20-18. The NFL is young in the season with a long way to go but I would say these are story likes these teams did not see coming.
Anything on any given Sunday can happen. I will believe the Vikings can beat the 49ers and will believe up to and through the entire. If a loss occurs I need to accept and move on. My hope is the team competes with this team and eventually gets the win. It appears for now a mountain to climb but this mountain climbing can be achieved with 63,000 fans and all 53 players and coaching staff believing.
