Hoping for the best, but waiting for the worst.

Like it wasn’t bad enough to get blown out 34-0 at Lambert Field, now the entire season hinges on the results of an MRI exam.

Okay, so the season is already over, but the MRI on Adrian Peterson this morning is very important to this team. He is the only offensive “skill” player the Vikings have and if he is hurt, the team might not score again this season.

The only person benefiting from Peterson’s injury will be Coach Chill. All of the attention should be focused on him and his lack of coaching ability, but if Peterson is hurt badly enough, all of the talk will focus on the knee and not on the coach.

The Vikings didn’t show up yesterday. Sure, they don’t have much talent on offense, but we shouldn’t be pining for Brad Johnson’s return. The teams quarterback and wide receiver positions are in shambles and the only way to make it better is to blow the whole thing up and start over.

Let’s just hope Adrian Peterson is healthy enough at the start of next year to play a big role because we will need him.
