Game. . .and Season. . .Over

PrintWell, the Vikings came into today's game knowing that they needed it to, realistically, keep their playoff hopes alive.
And they came out and looked like ass. Complete and total ass. And it can largely be attributed to one man. . .he wears #14 in purple and white. Johnson continued to be the worst starting QB in the National Football League.
But, next week, I have the feeling we'll be talking about the Brad Johnson era in Minnesota in the past tense. . .because this afternoon, Tarvaris Jackson came in and gave this offense a spark that they've lacked for weeks. 197 yards of total offense for Jackson in just over one quarter of play, compared to a paltry 95 yards for Brad Johnson in the nearly 3 quarters that he played.
If anyone other than Tarvaris Jackson starts this Thursday in Green Bay, yours truly is going to be one highly agitated Viking fan.

The Worst...
Good things from the game:
- BJ is gone, TJ is now in and looking good.
- We start looking at a preview of next year.
- Run Defense was again good and our pass defense is getting better.
- Brad Johnson and losing the game.
We can still technically make the playoffs and I still think that we will, just. And if we do make the playoffs I honestly think people shouldn't take us lightly. If our offense starts clicking with Jackson and our defense keeps playing well then I think we are a scary team.
Other than than, I think your totally right Gonzo.
Alot of problems
It was really good to see him passing downfield (actually past the first down marker). His arm looks so good. He made Troy Williamson come back to life. They may end up being a real good combo, but I sure would like to see another reciever in next years draft.
Anyway, I am tres disappointed about the loss and the season as a whole, but here's to the future and Tavaris Jackson !!

playoffs
Plus, of nothing else, I just can't wait to watch Tarvaris now and in the future.
No, I'm pretty sure you're right. . .
Minnesota has games against @ Green Bay and home against St. Louis.
Atlanta has games at home against Carolina and @ Philadelphia.
New York has games at home against New Orleans and @ Washington.
If the Vikes win their next 2, they'll be 8-4 against the NFC. If the Giants and Falcons both split their last 2, the Giants would be 7-5 against the NFC, and Atlanta would be 6-6.
So yes. . .if the Vikes win out and the Giants and Falcons each lose once, then the Vikes would sneak into the playoffs as the #6 seed.
