Wolves Coast To Easy Win

They beat a bad team easily.

That's what good teams are suppose to do.

I'm starting to think of the Wolves as a good team.

It's funny how things work that way...

Sports

Not much happening from a Minnesota perspective. Adrian Peterson is still out with a neck injury for the Cardinals. He had one good game with them after being traded from the Saints. Did anybody else notice that the Saints became the best rushing team in football AFTER getting rid of him?

Aaron Rodgers

He's been cleared to play.

Their season isn't over yet.

I just wish the Vikes could have played the Packers once without Rodgers...

Well, we sort of did that first game...

Wolves Lose

In OT.

At home.

sigh...

Stanton and the Yankees

Miami couldn't win with Stanton and his contract.

New York couldn't win the World Series with the best hitting home run producers in baseball.

The solution? Get the BEST home run hitter to join your team for even more ammo.

The Yankees and their payroll. There are entire countries in the world that don't have their budget.

The Yankees, buying World Series titles, a billion dollars at a time.

Football

Philly lost their starting quarterback Sunday, and the Patriots lost their game last night.

Suddenly, the Superbowl picture is wide open.

Cool!

Disappointing Loss

The best thing I can say about yesterday's loss is this, as bad as the Vikings played, they still could have easily won the game with two minutes to go.

How many teams could play their absolute worst game of the season and say that?

The defense, especially on those two HUGE running plays let us down. And they had two STUPID third and really long penalties that ended up giving Carolina first downs and extended drives leading to points. It hurt. Big time.

The usually sure-handed Viking receivers dropped 4 touchdown passes (to be fair it would have led to two touchdowns since multiple passes were dropped on the same series) and Rudolph dropped an easy pass in open field that  would have given the Vikings great field position, instead we were forced to punt and Carolina scored on their next possession.  Or how about the dropped pass that was bobbled up in the air and intercepted. Or the incomplete forward pass that traveled 15 yards in the air and was ruled a fumble... or... or...

...you get the idea.

If any ONE of those plays would have went the other way, the Vikings STILL would have won.

How good must a team be to have all of those things go wrong and still just barely lose?

The next three weeks will tell us more.

It's still the best football season we've had since Favre's first year at QB and I'm not going to let that one loss ruin it.

Skol Vikings!!!
