Dolphins/Vikings, Second Half Thread

The Vikings put up some pretty impressive stats in the first half of play, but are lacking in the one stat that actually matters. . .points scored. The Vikings are going into the locker room with no points. Thankfully, the Dolphins also haven't scored any points since their first possession, and the Miami lead is only seven points.
Minnesota has moved the ball, but were the victims of a bad fourth down call and a fluky interception. They just can't seem to keep from shooting themselves in the foot.
The Vikings need to get it together, and they need to get it there in a hurry.
Join us here for the second half, ladies and gentlemen!

People keep sayin it's the O-Line
when Favre has time to open, it’s just people aren’t getting open and than that usually leads to holding onto the ball longer, which than leads to a sack. If your O-Line holds up for 6sec their doing their job!

Half a field
about 2 minutes to go.
Quarterback’s sucking.
Runningback’s on fire.
6-7 in the box.
And the runningback gets not one carry. Not one draw play. Not a screen. Not a pitch. No 2 TE formation and trying to make a lane. Nothing A throw over the middle, but those don’t break loose often for backs, that’s just a dumpoff.
Uhhh...
Have you ever heard about clock management? Running plays would have kept the clock rolling between plays. Go away.
So does a throw over the middle.
I’m not saying you do ALL running plays. Just one or two mixed in. Keeps them honest and has the chance of breaking one away. A good chance in this particular case.
And incidentally
Well executed pitches, and some forms of screen, have a good chance to go out of bounds. Stops clock. _
Maybe Childress will learn...
Take the 3 on the first drive, 4th and 2 isn’t that easy and it isn’t even for a TD.
Thank you........
you have to get points with our limited offense. It was pointless. What, was he trying to outdo Sean Payton? Just stupid.

Favre threw BEHIND every player
He is getting old. I am really starting to think we need to pull the plug.
I second the agreement
We shuldve pulled the plug when his ol’ cocky ass didnt wanna show up for training camp.. He’s outta shape and his arm is too tired to throw a decent bomb anymore
Update on Favre
With $16 million guaranteed, he’s now made $2 million dollars in the last 10 days for sucking.
Give me a break
Childress didn’t throw 3 INT’s today, and Bevell can’t make Berrian catch a freakin’ football.
But I bet Childress signed off
On those two goal line runs with a formation that TOLD them run. No freakin creativity. WTF you running to our weak side? Chilly sucks.
are you really criticizing that play?
they overloaded their blockers to that side and adrian peterson was on FREAKING FIRE that series. he prolly would have made it in the end zone had he cut to the outside instead of taking it inside, but what was wrong with that call??
It's not so much that the call was wrong.
It’s that the call was too frequent.
^^^__THIS.
Well said, Ragnarrahl. Wow that was just awful at the end. At least try an end zone fade or screen pass ONCE out of all those running plays. Just stupid coaching and play-calling.
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME
A pass?!?!? Did you even WATCH the game?? Favre couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn today if his life depended on it, and you want him to make a touch pass in teh crowded end zone without their best receiver? Gee, looks like Childress and Bevell are smarter than you.
Running to our weak side?
Are you kididng me? With nothing to keep the backers honest? It was ALL run no doubt. This is the NFL man! Why don’t we tell the other team what we are going to do?
Heck yeah I am
Not running to our strong side? Not spreading out the defense to make them think a possible pass? Sure let’s let the defense put 11 in the box and run to our weak side that has 2 TE’s and screams we are going to try and run to that side. Make sense to me…. Give me a break! This is the NFL!!!

6:10 to go, our game to win....let's chuck it into double coverage???
favre, chilly and bevell get their balls removed for that.
in the future there will be no war...there will only be rollerball.
No, blame FAVRE
You have no right pinning that on Childress and Bevell. People like you want to blame the coach for everything the QB does. Childress and Bevell didn’t tell Favre to pick the single worst target on the field, so blame the freakin’ QB.
But it's both their faults!
The playcalling was predictable. We didnt even try to discuise any plays! Favre and all his underthrows proves that he’s all washed up now and needs to keel over on the football field.. And childress needs to do the same thinking that bringing favre back (AGAIN!) was gonna do us any better this year.
He is horrible
Yet people want to make excuses for him because he was injured like 16 games ago. Give me a break.
Especially when a coaching staff...
makes decisions as if we can score at will, which we can’t right now.
Why on God's green earth....on fourth and goal.
you don’t run AP behind Toby, and Hutch, and McKinnie, just beyond me.
tough loss
IMO……..Bret Favre had as much to with them losing this game as he did with potentially being a hero…..if they would have won. He is so arrogant to think he can throw into double coverage any freeking time he wants. The problem is, he can. He thinks he can do whatever he wants out there and not be held accountable. Childress should have benched him after the (3rd) INT, but knowing Bret, he probably would have thrown a hissy fit and went to the huddle anyway. The OL didn’t help either, but this loss (just like NO) is as much on Favre as anyuone else.

C'mon guys,have faith
two games doesnt decide the season,remember 2008,it’s not how you start,it’s how you finsih
Check the odds
Historically, teams that start 0-2 make the playoffs only 10% of the time. Stick a fork in these clowns. Favre should have been there earlier to get in sync with his receivers, and Rice is a douchebag for not telling his coaches of his hip injury for the first 4 months. Those two have really hurt their chances this year.
Woah Woah Woah Dont Blame Rice!
Our team is superb with all the guns on our offense. Rice isnt the factor the coaching is.. and favre.. maybe if we played like we did last year instead of choosing between offenses in the middle of the game might help our cause a bit more. Our offense hasnt synced yet!
Looks like it may be time to start not caring about the season already.. :(
I hate to say it but it looks really hard to see any light at the end of any proverbial tunnel after these first two games. Wow.
The only bright spot was AP and even he failed us when it mattered most. Crappy coaching, poor QBing (to say the least), awful WRs (Berrian you suck arse), and a Defense that is spotty at best. And we’ll leave our O-line unmentioned because…wow..
Going to be a long season, folks.
And this is as positive as I can muster, looking at the big picture. I mean, usually I’m able to honestly admit to myself that things will improve and so forth but not this time. It looks grim. I guess this is why you (at some point) have to start rebuilding with younger, more energetic players….
I recall you pulling this same stunt last year
0-2 is a hurdle to overcome, no doubt, but this team certainly has the talent to win the division still. Favre just needs to be more careful with his passes from here on out.
Not pulling any "Stunt" here...
My point was made quite clearly that if THIS is what we can expect from our beloved purple, fans are going to stop caring (and RIGHTFULLY SO I might add) already, this early in the season.
Just awful. It had maybe 20-40% to do with Favre and the rest was due to several other seriously problematic issues that aren’t going to magically go away if we wave our collective “let’s be positive” wands. It (unfortunately) doesn’t work that way, man. :(
i agree it doesnt work this way
but you sure love to pop your head with the “I told you so” mentality just when things go wrong. but hey for you its a lot easier to love the vikings when they win
"It’s not arrogance, it’s destiny." -RKO
Cool it, bro
If you read my post last week and read this post more carefully (and I don’t mean that snottily, either), you’d see that it was hardly an unfair post – just a very, VERY concerned post and yes, to some extent, angry. Fans SHOULD be irate after that dreadful performance. It was embarrassing all around to choke at home like that.
And honestly, people are going to vent in here if they’re not around their fellow Vikings fans – what do you honestly expect? Fake optimism after that??? C’mon, be serious Vikant. Cut some of us a little slack.
I’m not going to write them off just yet but you know what kind of schedule we have this year, dude. It’s going to get real ugly, real fast if things don’t hugely improve asap. \:(
And furthermore
…this is different than the weird blotch on our record late in the season last year because we’d already seen our Vikes do amazing things. This is a tough, tough year (schedule-wise) and we’re already 0-2? Wow. Just wow. A huge hole for us to dig out of and we lack key pieces all over the place. :( :(
AP didn't fail us
He had nothing available. It would not have been possible to cut outside on that play.
The blockers on that overloaded side failed.
And the coaches failed to make it believable that anything else could be a worry from that formation.
Nice attitude
He failed to score the most important points of the game, basically rendering much of what he did previously on that drive moot. Any chump can see that. Go get some manners and a clue before posting, next time.
yeah cause yours is so much better
I believe I have a right to be angry to place any blame on him failing to score???! is completely idiotic.
"It’s not arrogance, it’s destiny." -RKO
It's not solely on him, I'll gladly admit
but it’s disheartening to have a top RB and then watch him utterly fail to score when it matters the most. Nothing at all idiotic about that, dude. :(
I think that when online fails to execute there blocks
part of that goes into it as-well.
and i do apologize for my attitude towards you. but to lose this way. pisses me off
"It’s not arrogance, it’s destiny." -RKO
Fair enough
No harm done. I was a bit too harsh at first. I’m already feeling better. We still can salvage the season…we just have to get some key players back (and buy VJ) and go from there.
I agree, it wasn’t all on AP…it’s just that you expect your stars to win games in tight spots so I was harsher on him than necessary, I guess. :(

favre only really had 2, that 1st int was on harvin no?
Unfortunately
They are going to wait and see if any #1 WR’s get injured to drive up the price…. That means the trade won’t happen until after the Monday night game and they know all the teams that might be interested.
Again, your logic sucks.
They have until Wednesday to trade him before his 4 game suspension reverts to 6. Why would the Chargers trade Jackson before today’s games? If a team loses a receiver to injury today, Jackson’s value goes UP. Every other football fan in the world already knew that.
You are exactly right
That’s why it will wait until after Monday nights game. Let’s just hope no one on a contender gets their # 1 receiver hurt. In fact the way Washington looks right now, I don’t think they will get involved.
After this performance
Fans genuinely have reason to be seriously angry. I’d really rather NOT have to switch over to cheering for my backup team already, Vikings – please get your collective heads out of your collective arses asap. Thank you.

i want t-jack to start next week
in the future there will be no war...there will only be rollerball.
give t-jack a half...then bring in spiderman
in the future there will be no war...there will only be rollerball.
That is a fact
The ruling from the league office by way of settlement was that Jackson would miss 4 GAMES. Forget week 5, week 6… none of that matters. It’s already been confirmed a thousand times. He would join MN in their 5th GAME, meaning, week 6.
NFL Radio
was talking about this and he misses the first 4 weeks (pay weeks). Doesn’t matter if there is a bye week. All players get paid over the entire regular season. That would make him more valuable to the Vikings (week 4 is bye week) than STL or WASH.
we should have draftted jahavid besttt
hess beastttinnn, toby was a bad pickk as in we need productiib now
REcieviing threat
we dont have chester talyor, he would fit perfectly, did we even throw a screen? best had 151 yards of recieving 3 td he would open the passing game
i want to fire chilly and bevell, bring in chuckie...or anybody's grandma
in the future there will be no war...there will only be rollerball.
just considering the economics of it is all....
from the owner’s point of view. It is a big decision.
Jackson can't play until after 4 games
If the Vikings are 0-4 at that point, they’d have no use for him. Do the math. If they fall 4 games back in their own division, they are DONE. And there wouldn’t be any good reason to trade for a player who’s already stated he wants a one year deal so he can be a free agent again next year.
good point
is that after favre’s last two picks
we got the ball back in better position than when we had the ball originally
not that excuses him, but for this game it actually helped us
"Wait ur a girl?" -YanksVikes ignorance about The Melkman
they can't...what you saw is what we got
in the future there will be no war...there will only be rollerball.
I will say this much
…that it seems likely our Secondary will improve once Cook and Cedric return. So that’s one positive at least. Though it wasn’t our secondary that killed us, not by a long shot. It was our entire offense (other than AP, who did some great things but also choked at the end)..
Seriously man
They scored FOURTEEN POINTS. And 7 of those were a gift. Our defense is fine even with injured corners.
If you told me we would only allow 14 points in both first games I would have laughed and said easy 2-0.
yes i agree 14 is great
but those big plays came against the coners and missed tackles by the safeties when they came up to the line
WTF
How come on Petersons catch in the last minute, he didn’t get a first down about a yard short, Favre then faked throwing it to the ground and threw it to Berrian, this should been a first down. The next play it was 2nd and 7, the refs made a critical error on the down and the Vikings lost a down somewhere along the line. I tivo’d it back and Peterson was definitely short of his first down, how come nobody else saw this.
I have an idea
Lets just keep blowing every game – but make sure the free agents next season know we are doing this on purpose.
1st pick gets us Locker.
Win.
we are well on our way to that top 10 draft pick
in the future there will be no war...there will only be rollerball.
I'm gonna say it...
time for Favre to retire. T-Jack can and has done better (which just about the same quality of receivers)
Nah
T-Suck would be a far worse option at this point, though I’d agree that Favre looks awful right now. Still, I have faith in #4, he’ll get it together – he’s just hurting for weapons and the offense clearly needs a lot more work.
Not quite time just yet to throw in the towel, though fans have every reason to be both unhappy and angry after this game. Yuck. :(
t-jack can roll out...he won't have to stand in the 2 second pocket
plus, we should just run ap 30 times a game
in the future there will be no war...there will only be rollerball.
can we get a refund on favre?...(14/16) x $20million = $17.5million refund
in the future there will be no war...there will only be rollerball.
(16/18 games) x $20million = $17.778million....(yea, that gives us a bigger refund).
in the future there will be no war...there will only be rollerball.
I'm awaiting ...
..the inevitable DN post in a few days about how it will all come together, everything will get better, the sky isn’t falling, etc…
It’s coming. I can feel it. And this time, I’m actually welcoming it because I really need to hear some positives that give me hope for the future of this dismally-started season. Anything. Help us Mr. Gates. We need some encouragement here. LOL
Well...
I would hope they’d stick together to weather the storms. I mean good teams have to work together through tough times. Hopefully they ARE holding things together.
Oh man
Sweet. One good thing about this result is that it makes Green Bay’s cheesy win (pun intended) look more suspicious at least. And could those Packer dorks have gotten a better starting schedule? So lame. \:(
Well, in our defense
We played ’em in Philly; the Lions got ’em in Detroit.
Plus, the Lions got to gameplan for Vick.
Nobody gameplans for the guy holding the clipboard to come in and play the majority of the game. :)

The glass is way,, way, way more than half-full.
Crucial Season!!
Watching these first two games has me convinced that we are not goin to make it this year.. Last year we couldve made dolphin fillets with miami and now we’re the victims. Our QB situation is ruining the whole team in my opinion. Last year we made every receiver shine and now they blame one person’s injury on our downfall.. NO!. Favre is washed up and so is the coach brad childress. Plays are so predictable the other team knew exactly where we were runnin the ball.. And favre himself seems to be colorblind throwing to the same defender all day! From playing the superbowl champs to an average team and we still cant manage to score just twice! Our schedule this year along with our performances in the past two weeks alone proves it’s about to be a Crucial Season! Maybe next year….
Brett i will say this
looked very old today and very terrible.
"It’s not arrogance, it’s destiny." -RKO
I agree to some extent
But I’m not sold that he’s washed up yet, at least. There is a chance things can improve. Sigh.
Should have been a win.
Vikings beat the Dolphins on total yards and time of possession.
That don’t mean jack squat though.

i'm not sure if this is worth mentioning
but both int’s went BB’s way (harvin int was harvins fault)
Maybe we could petition for bye weeks for the rest of the season
so we can remain at 0 and 2 :(

We need to beat.......
the Lions, then take 3 of 4 minimum from the Jets, Cowboys, Patriots, and Packers. Can I get a second on that?
I think we can
Thank the lord for the Week 4 bye. We really need them to get either Cook or Griffen out there for some added depth in the secondary.
It's not just Brett although he is a big part of it
Other than Shank no one get’s open. Percy is a slot receiver not a wide out BB will not fight for the ball and just stands there with his pecker in his hands instead of breaking up the interception. AP had to do almost all of his work on his own. I can only remember one or two holes for him. The D gets smoked early and we are trying to play catch up. Play calling sucks we all know what is coming. Let see is there anything else
by SouthernNorseman on Sep 19, 2010 3:36 PM CDT reply actions
100% agree with the D
It was great today, but they always seem to start out slow. Today was brett’s fault mainly but we got problems at all kinds of places. secondary, o line, wr
At least next year will be a lock out and we wont have to put up with this crap
And oh yea with this team there will be no stadium deal. Can you say I am depressed

Need Cook and Griffin back yesterday...
to eliminate these friggin opening drive scores. Chilly freaks when he is behind. He needs a long sit down with Bud Grant about handling adversity.
Strengths and weaknesses:
Great – AD and Gerhart
Great – Defense front line and LBs
Good – Special Teams
Good – O-line (blocking for the run)
OK – CBs and Ss
Bad (and old) – #4
Bad – most plays by the WRs
Terrible – Childress
Harvin - Good
It wasn’t all the WRs, whatever he did when he blocked for Peterson really really hurt the flow.
disagree on o-line...they are mediocre/inconsistent
also, toby doesn’t get “great” label from me untill he makes a “great” showing. i thought he was all right.
in the future there will be no war...there will only be rollerball.
Special teams was crappy, actually
Fumbling, no good runbacks…nope, Special Teams doesn’t deserve any special props today. Sorry man. :(
Other than the 2 picks favre didnt look old or that bad I was suprised by the way he could move around in the pocket!!!
The third one was bad too..
throwing to BB into triple coverage. And, instead of playing the ball, BB looks for a PI call. Awful.
i want my money back on mr. barfve
in the future there will be no war...there will only be rollerball.
4th and 1 at the 1 yd line.
Why not try something new, Childress? How about the Wildcat with Harvin taking the snap and Webb split to the right? Or Webb taking the snap with the option to run? No creativity in the play-calling whatsoever. With Favre’s play in the redzone up to that point, he had no business taking that snap. Can’t argue with AD getting the ball, but run it behind Hutch for shit’s sake.
For once somebody else sees the truth
Playcalling is predictable.. they kno when to play for the pass and they always kno when Petey’s gettn the ball. scratch that.. they dont hafta play for the pass because favre will just throw it to em anyway courtesy of his old age and all
Step off the ledge....
…. you’ve still got the best RB in football, in a few weeks you’ll have a WR corps again, your DL is still the best in the division and your LBs aren’t bad either.
I didn’t watch the whole game or anything, but it looked to me like the Vikings outplayed the Dolphins by most measures and lost because of turnovers. That’s not going to happen every week. They’ve dug themselves a hole but they’ve got the talent to get back out of it.
Hang in there. It’s a long season. The Bears are 2-0. If that doesn’t tell you that early season results can be misleading, nothing will.
BCB free since 8/24/10 and happier for it.

Rice isn't coming back this season
Heard it from a little birdie
Doesnt matter
We need a Younger healthier QB who can keep consistency. Skills dont improve with too much age, they fade away
can someone tell me the difference between these two ?

yea, i know one guy has a beard, and the other one can't find his pencil...

You are full of it
Tice’s win totals in 4 years: 6, 9, 8, 9. His best season ever was 9 wins. Childress has topped that twice in his 4 years. Tice never won a division title. Childress has 2 in a row, something no Vikings coach has done since Bud Grant. Tice’s players were constantly getting in trouble off the field. Childress’ players do not. Tice’s $100,000 in fines to the NFL were the all time record before the Belichick fine. Your comment sucks, because it has absolutely no basis in reality.
mannn wtff look at the redskins offensive creativity
fake reverese big bomb from mcnabb we need creativity on this offense
Always Look on the Bright Side of Life
I’m an eternal optimist, so hear me out! Hear me, I say!
- We’re 0-2. It’s not great, but it’s just 0-2. Win next week, gain a little momentum heading into the bye, and who knows? Our offense didn’t click into gear ‘til Week 4 last year. But last year we opened with Cleveland and Detroit, instead of the defending Super Bowl champions and an underrated Miami team. We had a bit of extra time to work out the kinks.
-
— Our defense has allowed 28 points in two weeks. That’s really, really good by any standard.
- Two words: Adrian Peterson. A few more words. Last season, Brett Favre got us to within a snap of a Super Bowl berth. I know he hasn’t looked great so far this year…but he hadn’t looked great after two games last year, either—we just happened to get two easy opponents and beat them both handily. Favre is one of the greatest quarterbacks in the history of the NFL. He’ll come good.
-
— Again, it’s just 0-2.
Calgary out.
Last year was different......
we “clicked into gear” because we had the pieces in place. I don’t see that now. Don’t get me wrong, we have players who can produce, but, we can afford ZERO mistakes right now, from playcalling, turnovers, field position, dropped passes, red zone efficiency, and on and on. Big playmakers, other than AP, are not there right now.
Yes, 28 points surrendered is outstanding on its face, but that is a difficult pace to maintain.
This team is in serious search for an identity, and some swagger. Let’s hope the Lions provide the tonic we need before the break.
I try to be an optimist, but, remember what the definition of an optimist is———someone who doesn’t have all the facts.
^^THIS ...
You guys played really tough… With your defensive front 7 and solid offensive line, it really isn’t going to take much to get you to the playoffs(see the NY Jets).
Cameron Wake has been going against Jake Long in practice and regularly beats him, so don’t get down on your line for letting him get to Favre(the guy is a freak).
You live by Favre, you die by Favre. The guy is a gunslinger and when he puts the ball in the air and the most talented people in the area are by far the defense things are going to go badly for you. That Vontae pick wasn’t luck, that guy is quickly becoming an elite CB.
When Rice comes back you guys will be just fine… um …. deadly.. I really think if Peterson had gotten the ball more you guys would have won. In the end with 48 seconds on the clock, is there anyone you would rather have in there at QB than Favre? Really? Because I know that I was worried to the last second.
Yes, I admit I have CLS... which might actually be a good thing, I was positive we were going to win it all with Saban, then with Cam ... and even last season... I wasn't expecting much in 2008 though ... Hopefully its unfounded ... we will see....

I have to agree..,.
Favre will be better when he has some better receivers to throw to. He’s trying to do too much right now. I think he is frustrated. I know I am.
Look at Tennessee last year. They started out 0-6 and got totally embarrassed in NE. Came back and almost made the playoffs. It hasn’t gotten that bad here yet. I don’t think the Bears will keep playing as good as they have., So, it will probably be just the Packers that we have to worry about. They have had a decent team and a cupcake to play so far. There schedule will get harder and they will come back to the pack.
Chins up folks. Things will get better.
Definitely tired of watching F4vre's smiling face
on the sideline whilst we’re losing and without regard for his numerous turnovers. Oh well, he just loves the game so I guess he always wins…
