I am sure that since Cordarrelle Patterson had such a terrible game last week and hasn't shown much since week 1......I am quite sure that the general sentiment on the Vikings thread was and is that

Percy Harvin >>>>> Cordarrelle Patterson

Maybe since the Seahawks dealt him, Harvin, for a bag of beans, maybe, just maybe that some people within the super bowl winning, loaded to the gills with talent organization, maybe somebody there knows more than a number of posters on the Vikings threads of talkvikes.

Naw......they know more.

He had his back turned to the line of scrimmage when the ball was snapped, his man ran by him and caught the pass for a 1st down. That's just unforgivable, to have no clue that the ball was about to be snapped like that. Just terrible.

The O-Line. It just about says it all when 2 starters go out on the same play and the protection was not noticeably worse the rest of the game. I'll have to leaf through my thesaurus, because the word "suck" is just so inadequate no matter how how big of a font and how many exclamation points you use.

I've decided that our Oline is like a Dyson Ball Vacuum. It really sucks, and does a great job maintaining that suckage.

I'm not going to hang this one entirely on the defense. Anytime a D gives up less than 20 points, especially in this day and age, they've given their team a great chance to win. The offense just can't get anything going consistantly.

Everybody could see it. up by six they'd find a way to give up the TD on the last play.

Seriously, Once you're at that point interfere if you have to. Pull a Serwanga and just tackle the guy befor the ball gets there. Don't let them get free or catch a ball. That simple.

But we shouldn't have been up by just six. The Dyson ball couldn't protect the QB, the QB holds the ball too long, There is little running game, and our recievers are starting to look like the pre Jennings/Patterson time, You know, Berrian Jenkins like?

Oh my.
That was some ugly disjointed faux football.
For three hours.
Yuck.
Just ... Yuck.
In all phases. Can't believe how we never change one thing .... Not understanding the importance of TDs to FGs.
Early, we settle for FGs
Late, when we need FGs to finish people off, we take chances, and end up punting instead.
50+ years of frustration has worn this old ass out. It's more funny now, than sad. Or disappointing. Just kinda patheticly funny.

Norv has a sieve of a line to deal with. ANd yet, He leaves the qb in there as a sitting duck.

The D has 2 really bad linebackers and one who can make plays and flies around, which also hurts at times.

But I'd rather have that than Brinkley and Greenway. Yuck.

Captain M is a FA bust. Over-rated(clap,clap,clap-clap-clap)

Yet despite all that the could have won.

I'm past frustration too. bleh. I'm resigned to second class status with this bunch. #1 fan base in the state for them(n terms of sheer numbes), yet they continue to eff it up.

With those two protecting our QB, Teddy has to drop back out of the stadium to be protected.

If Greenway had any self-respect he would issue a public apology for his inattention on that 4th and 17 and donate his pay for the game to charity dealing with attention deficit.

Agreed. He has just been horrible. Even Robinson looks like a pro-bowler by comparison.

I like the fact that he is confident enough to step up in the pocket. Unfortunately, the tackles are crashing through the guards and center so quickly he ends up walking into a wall.

That's fair; there definitely have been some rookie errors. Not all on the line, no doubt -- I just can't help but think that's where it all starts.

Other than giving up the ghost on the last drive the defense played well. Good enough to win. Anytime your D only gives up 17 points and gets four takeaways you've had a good day. Especially in this day and age.

The problem here is the offense with a rookie QB, sieve of an Oline, Raw or doggin it WRs, an offense built around having an all time great at RB and not having that Rb since week one. They've lost a starting G for the year. This game they lose his replacement for the game in the first half. They lost their starting C, the TE has been out since week 2, the guy slated for third string WR dumped because he can't keep his dumb ass out of trouble off the field. The veteran QB that was slated to start the year, gone since week 2. Rookie QB shows flashes of good, but looks like a rookie. fourth overall pick LT looking like a turnstyle.

Team is a mess because of injuries, suspensions etc.

But there is good if you look for it. Defense is starting to gel. Dline got after Orton pretty good. Linebackers were free to attack the ball. Robinson looks like a new man, Xavier Rhodes growing into a very good CB. Barr is a freak of nature.

Jerrick McKinnon is growing as well.

Now if we can just get some better Oline play...this team would probably be rocking.

I should say ... Barr.
