Vikes look like crap. Get Win. Packer Week.

Have to admit being pretty nervous during that game. Could our offense look worse? As a popular website once said "Holy Bejebus." We got the "W" basically because the Cowboys didn't try to take advantage of mismatches at receiver and because we have Percy and they don't.

NFC Norris Division - Nice of the Bears and Packers to both drop one yesterday to keep this division close. Bears play Washington at home next weekend and we travel to Lambeau for Sunday night*. I still feel like this Vikes team is due to hang a bunch of points on someone, I'm going with Sunday as that game (why not.)

Standings
Bears (frauds) = 4 - 2
Packers = 3 - 3
Vikes = 2 - 3
Other = 1 - 5



* Both DTK and I will be on overnight flights and missing the game. Can someone tape the game and then post it on youtube so we can watch in it's entirety? I know this violates all NFL copyright policies but we'd really like to see it upon our arrival. Oh, and make sure it's in HD. Thanks.

Great day to be a Vikes fan yesterday, in that we got to watch the Bears and Packers both crap the bed prior to watching the Vikes win. What makes me nervous is that we didn't really play well at all. The offense is almost unwatchable right now. We've got to find more creative ways to get AP the ball other than the stupid zone-blocking handoff. I feel like we're wasting his talent with all these 2 yard plunges.

Also, the Cowboys completely bailed us out with penalties, especially the offensive PI by Miles Austin and the defensive PI with 3 minutes left (BTW - what a horrendous play call when all you need is 5 yards and you really need the clock to keep running! Holy shi*!).

Finally, where is Shiancoe?!?

If GB decides to throw downfield all game next week, we're done. Asher Allen and Lito Sheppard were a bit of a train-wreck yesterday. When does Cook come back from injury?!?

At the end of the day...I'll take it. Huge game this week. Like we said two weeks ago...2-2 over this stretch is all we need. I'd rather beat the fudge than head to Foxboro 1-2 in this stretch.

Oh - Tapani and MCA, the Bears are the most fraudulent 4-2 team in NFL history. What is the mood in Chicago?
