Oh My

Oh and four is never fun.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Donovan McNabb must be on notice about now. The inability to convert on third downs, especially in the second half, is on him. High passes, passes in the dirt are just killing drives. Penalties, stupid penalties, aren't helping. Wiping out decent plays. When a team is struggling to string together positive plays, they can't afford to have any called back. Adrian Peterson, Percy Harvin, Visanthe Shiancoe and Kyle Rudolph made enough plays yesterday that you'd think that the offense would be more efficient. Poor passes or penalties followed each decent play negating the good. Despite the consistent offensive failures, the Vikings had a chance. They got to the Kansas City 41 with two minutes to play. But four straight incompletions from McNabb clinched four straight losses.

Certainly not free from blame, the Vikings defense played well enough to win. Holding the Chiefs to field goals kept the score down. The only touchdown came when corner Cedric Griffen slipped to open up Dwayne Bowe.

Vikings fans that think the team should tank the season to secure Andrew Luck are out of their minds.

Aaron Rodgers sure throws a perty pass.

I switched to the end of the Saints-Jaguars game after the Vikings disappointment. In great position to drain time from the clock just before the two minute warning, the Saints were throwing the ball. Each incomplete pass gave the Jaguars hope. It just seemed like adding points was more important than clinching the win to Sean Payton.

Calvin Johnson is a beast.

I think that I'm faster than Kyle Orton.

The Lions have had an impressive start to the season, but not every team they face will aid them in the second half like the Vikings and the Cowboys have the last two weeks.

Cam Newton has brought out a brand new Steve Smith.

Through nearly 4 weeks, this is, without a doubt, the worst officiating that I have ever seen. If the league can suspend and fine players for stupid shit, they should be able to suspend and fine the officials. I realize that the officials have to be beyond reproach. To effectively achieve that they need to right far more often than they are.

The Eagles are dreamin' right now.

Next week is bad news for the Cardinals!
