Gonna win it with TJAX?

Published by tom under vikings

THREE KEY PLAYS THAT LOST US THE GAME:

  1. You can’t miss Sidney Rice in the end zone for the two-point conversion. As the game wound down, and Vikings were limping towards the endzone to try and make up the 24 - 19 difference, TJAX would have been more comfortable aiming for a yardline in the FG-range.  Overall, TJAX needs to stop slinging the ball 80MPH — get some touch young man!!
  2. Ryan Grant’s long run. Slicing and dicing our defense via the air is okay.  Running through us is not.
  3. Punt Return. Yikes.  Can’t give those up.

The Vikings will be in every game because the defense is good.  The offense is boring and only responds well in a post-turnover scenario.  If we don’t get turnovers, we have trouble scoring.

Yawn.  0 - 1.

“Would laying a steamer on his chest be too much?”

With the shocking new development out of Green Bay that Jet Favre won’t be having his number 4 retired at the opening Monday Night game (I guess he’s busy washing his truck), ESPN has decided to pull the plug on sending all 3000 of their employees to Lambeau for opening night.  “Oh Dear! With out a lame pregame ceremony how will we find the story lines to entice Joe Six Pack and his kids to watch our big Monday night telecast?????”  Well ESPN you should get used to setting your sites on Eden Prairie, MN where Jared Allen and Pat Williams will be writing the headlines for you all season.

“Playing Green Bay on Monday night to start the season – that’s everything you want,” [Jared] Allen said. “Hopefully, I can put my helmet square in the back of his spine. If I can do that and knock the ball loose, it’ll be a good day.”

“They had a nice year last year, but they don’t understand that Brett made those guys better than they were,” [Pat] Williams said. “He has the game all figured out, and you’ve got to factor all that into the equation … People think it’s the system, but it ain’t no damn system. Brett Favre just knows where his guys are going to be at all times, and I don’t think Aaron Rodgers has got that yet.”

I’m in the camp that anyone with a name that can be used for both a girl or a boy probably sucks at football…last time I checked I know a ton of chicks named Erin (don’t spell check me nerd).
