yup, Asher made a nice play Sunday. Hope he keeps it up.

Too bad you didn’t make the live blog, it’d be a blast to have ya. I’m going to try and do one this week, but have to work around a few things before I know for sure. I’ll let ya’ll know.

I wrote a non-Vikings post prior to the draft advising the Lions to address their O-Line woes before drafting a hihg priced QB. Stafford is better than Joey Harrington, but he’s in danger of suffering the same fate. It’d be a shame.

Warwas! I’m so bummed that I missed the live chat. I wasn’t near a computer during the game. I did however think of Vikings Gab when Double A put the stomp on Williams as only he can. He never saw Allen coming. Asher A handled his business most definitely. I have to get this off my chest. I know this is not a blog about the Lions but, their offensive line is sad. How you let your quarterback get sacked that many times and so vigorously is beyond me. Major rule for any offensive line: protect your QB. Matthew Stafford is talented and it pains me to see him saddled with such a sorry O line. Anyway Asher A made a brief but compelling statement on Sunday. I suspect we have only seen a snippet of what’s to come.

Thought Benny Sapp had a good game on Defense. Agree Ray Edwards had a great game against Gosder Cherilus

Offensive line run blocking continues to be a concern. Holes just aren’t being opened up against weaker Defenses.

Adam it just seems to me that in those situations Chilli doesnt know what the hell he’s doing. No plan, no strategy, no idea what to do next. Simply play not to lose.

There was the draw play on 3rd and goal which could be classified as gutless. To me it was more hypocritical to call that play on third and goal and then go for it on fourth down. Which is it, conservative game plan or aggressive game plan? At least know what you’re trying to do as a football team.

I agree. We are about to enter a stretch of games in which mistakes will not be tolerated.

Good to see new faces, are you a fellow Alaskan, Sitka?

C.c. I really wasnt talking about losing the game, just that it wouldnt be a rout. Sitka I’m with c.c. on the gutless part. But careless and sloppy yes.

There were times I got a little frustrated bigj, but I never once thought the Vikes were gonna lose. No really!
Sitka, careless yes, but gutless? That seems a bit harsh. I saw some gutty plays by our guys.

Right on with your post! I agree 100% with most everything you said. I just hope we can keep it together with az and cinci coming up soon. They are both major talents that can punish us in a big way if we are careless and gutless like we were this weekend!
