Big game against a bad team in bad weather. I'm a little bit worried.

It'd be nice if this team could score again. What happened? I understand the defense woes, but the offense has my flabbergasted.

OVERTIME!

i'd like to think that a real effort during the entire game would've given us a blowout win...ah well, as a Vikes fan, I'm used to this.

The good news is the offense finally looked like themselves in the second half.

But it was too little too late.

LOL, this is the Minnesota I know and Loathe. We always choke down the stretch and never pull out the big wins. Minnesota sports ladies and gents.

definitely didn't deserve to win this game. We got lucky against San Fran winning a game we had no business winning, but this time the mistakes were too many - key drops by receivers, fumbles, heinous special teams. We looked cold, I guess this group doesn't handle that kind of weather well.

At least with the Timberwolves you never expect them to win so you're never disappointed. I can't take this ****.

"I'm sick right now. I'm very disappointed. I really feel like I lost this game. We were in position to win the game, and I gave it away. I felt like I had it secured. I was going down and he punched at it a couple of times. I thought I was down, but obviously not.

"You have to protect the ball. At the time the game is tied and I had just picked up the first down. Despite what happened in the first half and during the game, at that moment we had an opportunity to make up for that, and I cut the opportunity short."
