Metrodome roof causes delayed reaction for this blogger

Thanks to the collapse of the Metrodome roof yesterday and the NFL moving the game to Monday night, I won't be able to watch the Vikings - Giants game in "real time" tonight.

Instead, I will tape the game, which will re-aired on the NFL Network tonight and watch it then. Of course, that is going to make the delivery of a prompt post-game analysis a little more challenging.

And while this game doesn't mean much to the Vikings slim playoff hopes, it means a lot to interim head coach Leslie Frazier's future.

With Percy Harvin out, Steve Hutchinson out, Ray Edwards out and playing without a noisy Metrodome crowd to back them up, a solid showing (won or lose) against a strong New York Giants team probably earns Frazier a head coaching job somewhere in the NFL in 2011.

Let's see how this one plays out tonight.
