Panthers' Scoring Drive

As the two-point conversion fails.

49 yards in 7 plays, taking 2:34 to accomplish. Officially 42 yards on the pass from Moore to Steve Smith.

Panthers 12, Vikings 7, 14:49 left in the game.

Well they proved one thing at least

That they are the same ol’ Vikings we know and loathe (at times). I think that if this is the best they can do, I’m not as interested in watching them down the stretch. They’re just going to under-achieve and choke anyway.

So pathetic. And to think I almost drank the effing kool-aid, too.

Like I have no reason for my remarks. Are you even effing watching this craptacular game? And you think this is the team that has a chance at a Super Bowl? Losing to a 5-8 team with second stringers? No offense. No O-line? Peterson has been useless for weeks (even last week he barely got it done). Time to trade his underachieving ass for a younger QB (thanks Favre for the 11 wins but it’s clear that we’re not going to go anywhere in the playoffs this year).

Do people still somehow believe that we’re magically SB bound? After seeing this utter debacle? Seriously? Because I’d LOVE to get some of the crack you’re smoking. I guess I’m just angry that I let myself be duped by them so badly this season. I really wanted to believe, I guess. Oh well, it was interesting this year at least.

No point trying to hide it. We’re not that great. Maybe, realistically speaking, we’re a 9-5 team at best. Maybe get in the playoff, win a game but that’s for sure the most damage will do, if even that much. Sorry, them’s the facts.

The problem with the Vikings right now:

Line play. When a football team struggles, it’s amost always because the offensive and defensive lines are struggling. That’s the case with the Vikings right now, the D-Line has been average and the O-Line has been just awful lately.

So let me just get this straight

Just to make sure, let me reiterate what we’ve just learned from the couple previous posts. The oline is terrible, dline is blah, Winfield gets burned to often, and we also have one of the worst secondaries in the league. When adding this to a weakened LB core, impatient RB, melting QB, and confused coaching staff, I can really start to see some reason for optimism.
