Brutal game... worse than game one, IMO. Worse in that we had the chances, good chances, and when it really came down to it - mistakes on multiple ends from the two most critical people killed it, on multiple occasions.
First and foremost, Brett Favre is color blind. Or he's retarded, I haven't figured it out. But, I'm glad he's struggling. It hopefully shows that even with Favre, this team isn't build correctly. Call it injuries, I don't care. Every team has injuries, but most teams are able to recognize when an opportunity is there to improve depth and take advantage of it. The team had two chances to really improve the club and did nothing.... Anquan Boldin being sent to the Ravens was number 1. And TJ Houshmanzad-whatever being released was #2. Two marquee receivers... and we settle on Bernard Berrien... awesome.
Adrian Peterson... follow your blockers. Its that simple. He cut the ball way too early instead of following Tahi or the pulling lineman, and it killed drives both times. Especially 4th and goal from the 1... follow Tahi instead of cutting up early, into a waiting linebacker, and it's a TD. But, at least he didn't fumble.
The defense is the only bright spot... that's it.
I love it... we not only have Favre for the year, but Childress for many more, and he's showing right now how completely inept at a head coach he is. But, one fluke season will get that for you...
