It sounds like Peterson is going to play. I haven't heard anything about Gerhart or Rhodes. I don't care that much if we win or lose but I am hoping for exciting games the rest of the way.

Who is the **** dumb ass calling these plays? I think that was the fifth 3rd and 2 of the game and they threw it every single time, and didn't complete one of them and one of them was a pick 6, doesn't that give you a **** clue?

Please do not let Bill Musgrave come back next year.

3rd and 2 is a passing down in the NFL, and it's not like were running it all that effectively anyway.

Cassel's turnovers and the lack of pass rush are what's killing us.

But they failed to get it every single time. Vikings don't have the passing game to do that either.

Glad I missed the game. Caught some of it on the radio but wasn't anything worth listening to.

Really screwed ourselves winning those games but the reality is that we're not one of the worst overall teams in the league.

I agree. I think we're more of a 6-10 caliber team than a 3-13 team. Hopefully we're high enough we can still grab a great QB prospect, but I'm doubtful.

we're probably falling right into prime manziel territory

i just think its funny that the day we actually lose all the teams below us also lose so we don't even gain any ground
