Look at all the injuries we laid on the Vikes (from ESPN.com):
"EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings bruised more than their egos in Monday night's thumping at the hands of New England.
Middle linebacker Napoleon Harris dislocated his wrist and was put in a cast and defensive tackle Kevin Williams played most of the 31-7 loss with a high ankle sprain, coach Brad Childress said Tuesday.
Center Matt Birk had a hyperextended knee and defensive tackle Pat Williams had some "moderate swelling" in his knee.
Childress didn't give a forecast on any of the players' chances to play Sunday at San Francisco, saying he would have a better idea Wednesday.
If Harris can't play, Childress said strong side linebacker Ben Leber could slide over or backup Dontarrious Thomas could get the start.
Receiver Marcus Robinson, who leads the team in touchdowns and missed the Patriots game with a back injury, is still recovering. "Hard to tell, hard to tell," Childress said of Robinson's status. "I know he's in there treating right now, and we'll just see what his comfort level is as well.""
I remember this being our MO in 2003 and 2004 we would destroy teams that we played, but last year it seems we were the ones getting destroyed every week.
