The Minnesota Vikings have been all over the headlines for the past few years. After being an overtime away from a Super Bowl season two years ago, they notably struggled to a last place finish in their division and a 6-10 record last year. The magic of Brett Favre was gone, he was banged up, his starting streak ended, and now it looks like he finally, really, retired.

What does that mean for the 2011 Vikings and new full head coach Leslie Frazier, who took over as interim coach last season? It probably means a return to the fundamentals of defense and running the ball, both of which the Vikings excel at when given the chance.

With Adrian Peterson toting the football, you automatically have one of the best running backs and players in the league, especially when he doesn't fumble. Then on defense you have loads of talent, both along the line and in the defensive backfield.

But there is still need for a quarterback to put it all together. The Vikings took Christian Ponder in the first round of the 2011 NFL draft to fill that position, to the surprise of many. He may get thrown into the fire right away, or somebody like Tarvaris Jackson or Patrick Ramsey may get the nod.

Either way, the 2011 season is time for a fresh start and a new direction for the Vikings. Fans attending games with their 2011 Vikings tickets should just watch over their heads for falling snow piles!
