It was their best game of the season by far, way better than the final score indicates.

-Rushed for over 100 yards
-Top 3 career game for Love
-Career game for Watson and Golden (both against Gonzales)
-Cisse allowed one catch all game
-X had two picks
-Evan Williams has a spectacular pickoff and an even more spectacular hit on a hospital ball. Flagged but then they picked it up.
-Trey Smack was 7-fo-7
-0 stupid penalties

That last stat has to be the best. That has been killing the Packers.

That reminds of one of my favorite Favre/Holmgren stories- after one of the many ass-chewings given out, Favre goes “Mike, did you know there is ice in your mustache!”

Agreed.

There were penalties obviously, but none that were really bone-headed that I saw.

I was hoping the Ravens put D.Henry up for trade and the Patriots made an effort to land him. Then I would have a reason to watch them.

 

[Gellar]

This is funny^

When a team has four turnovers the result is ugly. Very polite way to hand a W to the other team.

Definitely hard to overcome 4 turnovers.

Chicago did last night.

Best D against the best QB tonight...should be interesting.

I would not say he is the best by a good bit. But he is certainly capable of being good enough. A running quarterback might be just exactly what gives minnesota the most trouble.

Offenses = Not up to the task this monday night so far.

Man, this Vikings D is looking mint. Bills down a few offensive lineman = feeding frenzy.

Yes, the Vikings are tackling with vengeance. The Bills are not doing too bad in that department here.

On the other hand neither quarterback looks very good at all.

I had to google it, but it appears that there are twelve NFL teams that have never won a super bowl. Lo and behold, at the top of that list are both the Vikings and the Bills that have been there four times and never won.

Meanwhile, one of the top three things that irritate me about the NFL, that being Troy Aiken, continues to wax, poetic, about Josh Allen on almost every play, even when he is not on the field. Even though he continues to make some really egregious mistakes.

Other egregiosities include penalties ( because everyone complains about the officiating in any sport), and passes behind the line of scrimmage ( hold of which should be considered laterals, regardless of direction, in my opinion). YMMV.
