The Vikes beat the hapless Lions, but they looked SLOPPY!!!! Many unnecessary penalties from both the defense and offense.

Very sloppy indeed. This is the first Vikes game I've watched nearly from beginning to end this year and it is a good thing they were not playing a very good team after thier bye week. If they had been they would not have been able to get away with thier sloppy play and excessive penalties.
One other thing, Childress needs to get away from the cutsie double reverse garbage, especially need to not have Adrian Peterson try to flip the ball to another player on a double. He is not known for his ball control abilities as this showed. Wouldn't hurt for him to look over his shoulder when he breaks away from the pack and has someone gaining on him and thus punch the ball out of his hands.
This game should have been a blow out by the end of the first half, yardagewise it was, but points wise the Vikes let the Lions hang around close too long.
Better sharpen things up in the coming weeks.

Very sloppy indeed.

It could be worse. You could be a Cowboy fan. 10 penalties, 2 pics, one fumble, numerous dropped passes. Make no mistake, losing sux, but beating yourself is absolutely infuriating!

Roy Williams has been whining about not getting the ball. Maybe if he could hold on to the pill, then they would throw to him!

Nah, I like seeing the Cowboys loose But when the Cowboys play the Packers I have a hard time choosing which one I want to win!

Your right just the fact that someone is a Cowpatties fan is worse.

Like I always say. I have two favorite teams. The 49ers and anyone that is playing the Cowturds.

Rather see them lose this week and win the week after against the boys from Massachusetts.. That's one I really want.

Carolina got beat.

I'm hoping the Falcons beat the Giants (sorry TO ) and the Eagles find a way past the Bears (hey Andy, 4th and goal at the 1? GO FOR IT!! Oh, forgot, you have no TIMEOUTS!!!)

I have a sneaking suspecion that the Bucs might get past the Saints. That rookie QB doesn't look too bad.

 

[lesofprimus]

The Giants WILL beat the Falcons today, no doubt about it...

They have to....

 

[ToughOmbre]

I'm hoping the Falcons beat the Giants (sorry TO)

I'm a Jet fan Chris. I ALWAYS root for the G-Men to lose!

And I got a feeling that the Jets are in big trouble up in NE today, especially after the way the Patriots lost to the Colts last week.

TO

 

[Njaco]

Sorry, I just assumed...you know....welll.....

I hope the Jets win too. They were looking good at the beginning of the season.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Damn Niners are losing in Green Bay. Oh well I did not expect anything less. The Niners (even when they had Young) could rarely win in Green Bay. Too bad they are not playing in SF.

 

[kgambit]

10-0 !!! Geaux Saints!

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

I keep having a recurring dream that the NFL gets back to normal again.

The 49ers will be in the Conference finals every year, the Saints will be the Aints again, the Cards will be the leagues bottom feeders along with Tampa Bay and the Patriots go back to being mediocre.

Oh and I almost forgot. The Cowboys drop back the way they sucked in the 80s.

Yeah that is the way the NFL should be...

Montana (always be my fav) and Rice are long gone. New Sherriff and Deputy in town.....Brees and Colston. 10 and 0....Go Saints Go.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Brees really is a great QB. I don't see him accomplishing what Montana did though.

 

[Coors9]

Most say Young was better, maybe so, but Montana will always be my Fav QB. If I remember corectly, His last game with the Chief's was something special. Think he only played in the second half, but he was magic.

 

[wheelsup_cavu]

I'll never believe Young was better than Montana.
Count the Super Bowl rings.
Young had good teamates around him too and could only get one.

Joe Montana: 1979-1992 San Francisco 49ers (4 Super Bowl Rings)
Steve Young: 1987-1999 San Francisco 49ers (1 Super Bowl Ring)

Young took over from Montana in 1990 I believe and had 9 seasons to get more than one ring.
It took Young 3 years and an injury to Montana to get the job.


Montana, Fouts, Marino, Elway.
I miss seeing them play.

I think that Young was a better overall QB than Montana. He was just as accurate but could run better.

A QB is not the only player on the field, you have to take the running game, the o line, the defense all into account. Montana had the better teams.

Now having said that Montana is the greatest in my opinion, but I still think that Young was slightly better in terms of talent.

 

[Coors9]

I agree, but would still take Joe
