As the Purple approach another must win to keep their playoff life alive, us realistic Purple Fanatics realize and hope that our crew play at the level we were presented with last week versus periodically playing to the level of our oponent as all too often occurs.  After the 1998 season something took over the locker room climate within our Purple Crew and they continued the trend of what we all hope they do not do!  A prime example is their game against Detroit week before last.  With pass rushing maniac Jared Allen and All Day (A.P.) tearing it up it makes a fan wonder what the &!*@, lol.  There will be more to come from this Vikes Fanatic, and plainly spoken, if they play as they Purple we all know they can, they should destroy Chicago.  Chicago has injuries that should make them unable to realistically come into the Metrodome and pull a win.  The only way a win should happen for them is for the Purple to fall to the level of the topic of this blog entry.
