Vikings Loss is Costly

Favre has two broken bones in his left ankle, the ankle he had surgically repaired this off season. The good news is they are just stress fractures and will not require surgery. He is in a walking boot, but has not been ruled out for this Sundays game at New England.

Game Recap
The vikings once again were close within the final minutes of the game, but unlike last year they can't seem to close the deal. I thought for sure during that last drive we were going to get the espy moment like last year in San Fran, and that the Vikings would get back on track. Unfortunately that was not the case. Adrian Peterson was the offensive star of the game with Percy Harvin closely behind. Percy Harvin has emerged as one of the most explosive players in the league. He can do it all. There were two plays in the game that really upset me, first the Packers touchdown in the second quarter where the TE did not maintain possession of the ball all the way throughout the play. The refs missed the plain as day call, and then the Vikings coaches somehow screwed up and there end and didn't throw the challenge flag. Second of all the Shiancoe touchdown, which was a great catch was ruled a touchdown on the field. The ball may have moved when it hit the ground, but he never lost possession, even the announcers could not see how they overruled the play. These two plays would have changed the whole game. I wold like to see the Vikes throw the ball up to Moss a little more to stretch the field. I was disappointed with the play calling during the game it was either 10 runs in a row or 10 passes, even i was calling what we were running before the play.

The return of Chris Cook was less then exceptional, he was beat on several plays and then benched in the first half. He will need to make an impact on this defense to sure up the pass coverage. I can't figure it out why Fave continues to throw interceptions. He made some boneheaded plays including 2 of the 3 interceptions, and then the play when he was outside the pocket and underhanded it down the field instead of throwing it away out of bounds. He seems like he doesn't have it anymore.
