I know what you mean. It must be incredibly demoralizing for the players and fans to see the team continually self-destruct near the goal line.

Oh well, I'd rather they shake off their problems against another team. Hopefully, the Vikes will put them away early in the second half.

Dallas got a FG 10-3 Chiefs. Cowboys could not get into the end zone. Dallas looks bad. Wish we played them this year.

Sometimes, you drive so easily on the first drive that you just relax and can't get that edge back. It was so easy for Bret and Adrian on drive one, that it was supposed to be a laugher. Maybe they have to step up. Or maybe the Rams are so bad that the Vikes really won't have to ever play at a higher level.

Yeah, at least the Vikes didn't take a knee...

3 timeouts..

Someone want to explain to me what the heck was going on on that last drive? We had timeouts and we were almost in opponent territory...

No, they were out of guts...

Jone's might have a tough time paying that dome off.

VikingLord wrote:If the Rams weren't turning it over so much the score might be reversed right now - the Rams are out-playing the Vikes IMHO.

I agree.

Consider the contrast between the 4-0 Vikes playing a bad Rams team and the Giants playing a bad Raiders team. The Vikes are up 17-3 in a game that could easily be tied. Meanwhile, the Giants are crushing Oakland 28-7 at the half. If people wonder why the Giants are getting "the love", that should help explain it.

Never had any guts.

Half time pass yards given up >>

WR = 50
TE = 35
RB = 62

Wuss Childress is too afraid to put a game away. Up 14 and settling for the lead.

Well, I attribute part of that to the fact that the Giants are playing at home, and the Vikes are on the road. HFA appears to be a factor in the Rams, Lions, and Chiefs games, making those bad teams appear a bit more competitive.

Not my Day I guess. Just Lost the Video feed. f###

Probably scripted that first part of the game.
