Maybe I'll still tape the game and watch it later. But sometimes you don't need to see something to know how bad it was.
Like Ishtar. Everybody knows it was a terrible movie. That fact seems indisputable. So is there any need for me to watch it?
The Vikings were clearly terrible tonight. The stats don't lie in this case. And they are gruesome.
* 164 net yards.
* 10 penalties
* 10 first downs
* 213 yards rushing allowed (and average of 7.6 yards per carry!)
And let's not forget the performance of Tarvaris Jackson tonight when the offseason rolls around and quarterback options for the Vikings are talked about. More importantly, let's hope whomever is the Vikings head coach in 2011 doesn't forget it.
Just looking at the stats, reading the early game recaps and looking over the play-by-play online of the game, does Jackson appear to be any different than the guy who produced a 15-35 for 164 yards, 0 touchdowns and a pick six clunker against the Eagles in a 2008 Wild Card loss?
Where is the progression? Where is the development? Sage Rosenfels must have been loving this over on the Giants sidelines.

don't watch the tape. it was *awful*. i taped it and stayed up way too late last night to watch it.
not worth it.
I still think that the Vikes traded away the wrong QB. I would take Sage back in a heart beat over Jackson,
Peter:
I am taking your advice and will not be watching the game.
GB Nordic:
I agree with you. But Brad Childress did not. Perhaps we'll reacquire him in the offseason.
