Please post your comments, knee jerk reactions and insightful observations regarding today's 2014 week two game at the Minnesota Vikings in this thread. Please do not start other threads concerning tonight's game as they will be merged or deleted.
Game time today is 1Pm ET and will be televised on CBS.
After last weeks loss the Patriots need to rebound against a team with very good players on both sides of the ball. AP will not be playing today because of his legal problems.
Let hope for a good game, with no injuries, and a Patriots victory.
Peterson being out should mean that the D-line has a week to put things together. That should limit the potential disaster areas to just the offensive line.
I never predict scores, but I do predict that Aaron Dobson has a huge game today. Watching the reports and interviews with him this week, you could almost hear the engine revving.
if Dobson is active this board is going to be insufferable because it will probably mean either Amendola of LaFell will be inactive. So prepare for the chicken littles to squawk
@MikeReiss: Alfonzo Dennard wasn't on team's injury report, but looks like he's going through drills that would indicate he might be game-time decision.

Mike Reiss ? @MikeReiss
Harold Nash (strength coach), Jim Whalen (trainer), Ernie Adams, Josh Boyer (DBs coach) & Dr. Provencher huddle after Dennard leaves field.
Mark Daniels @MarkDanielsPJ
Dennard was talking with the team DR. Focus was on to his shoulder. He hasn't been on the injury report, but did have surgery this offseason
so no jamie collins...that leaves mayo and hightower. not the quickest lb's in the league. we literally have 0 depth at lb.where's dane fletcher when you need him? ( at least have a QB for the future )
it's going to be a long day if the offense doesn't show up.

Alfonzo Dennard's shoulder is chronically an issue. Very good player, but I know his reliability really bothers many within Patriots.
I think they'll give Stork some reps at center, especially if we pull ahead by two scores. If all goes well, that'll give him a great opportunity to move closer to being a starter.
