I don't watch much past the first quarter of a pre-season game. It's a waste of time and really messes up your perception of some players for Fantasy Football. The main thing is to get a feel for how the first teams are coming along.
The Vikings really looked good offensively. Think they missed Moss? Culpepper went 5-6 and a TD! He barely broke a sweat. The Chiefs aren't a very good defense, but Daunte was impressive! And it's good to see Michael Bennett out there at full strength again. This offense will be just as good as last year, maybe better.
Culpepper should be the #2 QB in every Fantasy League, and a case could be made for him to be the #1. He is more consistent week-to-week than Manning, and he will run and score a few on the ground. Nate Burleson looks like he is ready to step up, and we all know that 3rd-year receivers have a way of breaking out.
The defense looked pretty good. They had a few bad plays, but KC has one of the most potent offenses in the league. So holding them(the first stringers) to 3 points is a good sign. The defense will struggle at times. A lot of new faces and a new system will create a lot of mistakes, but they should start getting solid by week 4. And Mewelde Moore looked great on special teams. This could be a BIG year for the Vikings!
It's too early to say Super Bowl, but this team should only be happy with a division championship and a first-round bye in the NFC playoffs. Anything less in the weak NFC will be a disappointment.
