I can’t write about this game right now. I just can’t.
Just an overall terrible, terrible performance at home by the Vikings.
Not very good decision-making by Brett Favre. Not very good in-game decision-making by head coach Brad Childress (going for it on fourth-and-two on your first drive? Calling a run play into a stacked Dolphins front on fourth down at the Miami goal line?). The receivers have trouble getting open. The front seven struggled in the first half. Bernard Berrian – where are you? Percy Harvin – where were you in the second half? (To be fair, it appeared whatever he hurt in the first half was bothering him the rest of the game.)
We still have 14 games to go, and the Vikings had very slow starts under Childress in 2007 and 2008 before getting their act together, but those Vikings didn't have the expectations or the tough upcoming schedule this year's team has.
0-2. And the Packers and Bears are both 2-0. This team does not look like anything close to a Super Bowl-type team right now.
Now I'm going to throw up.

I agree why the hell not put 3 on the board 1st time Childress is an idiot.
Anon:
A lot of "what-ifs?" in a game like this. But if the Vkings get three on that first drive, plus at least a field goal on Favre's interception in the Dolphins red zone in the third quarter, they're up 16-14 and can kick another field goal to go up 19-14 rather than being forced to go for it late in the fourth like they did.
Just a tough loss to swallow.
