Dude, we found a way. We had the killer instinct. We did everything you need to do and the one guy on the team that isn't a football player lost it for us.

They found a way to win. Their kicker just missed. Kickers don't usually have a killer instinct.

The defense played like shit all day, but the offense made it happen.

The story should be no pressure when it counted...AGAIN

**OriAl** · 10-18-2009, 04:28 PM

Vikings 6-0. We should be 6-0, but we give games away.

Well... 12 guys on the team. The entire defense and Hauschka.

I'm not asking for Stover....I just wish Rice would have just gotten to the middle of the field, that way he's at least straight on....

agree

The offense laid it all on the field.Flacco left it all on the field.
The young kicker blew the young offensive guns valiant effort.

Another gut ripper. But they showed heart coming back.
They showed will.

looks like this season is going to be an exciting but painful ride.

It is so hard for me to fathom how a QB that throws for 385 yards and 2 TD's, and has a QB rating of 109.15 loses that game.

Oh yeah, when the opposing QB throws for 3 TD's and 278 yards himself because our fucking secondary cannot cover a twin size bed, and our run defense has been left somewhere in Cleveland.

I'm so frustrated right now.

I agree we played well, but Cam really dropped the ball with the play calling at the very end. Run Rice for 2 yards then let the clock run down? A pressure filled 46 yard kick in a loud ass stadium is tough, even for a veteran like Stover. I feel like the Rice play should have been a 10 yard pass or so and made the kick more reasonable. Mason owns the sideline routes, why not try that? I just can't believe we ran Rice on that 2nd down.

What killer instinct? The offense took the lead, and it took the defense ONE play to allow Favre to get a bomb into field goal range and blow the lead. Close losses are losses.

I got to say this loss was very very tough but I feel alot better about this teams future then I did in the first half. The offense and D showed alot of heart. Moreso the offense. I think we need to apply more pressure for sure but this offense showed they can stay with anyone. I just wish they offense had opened up a little earlier then they did. I said before they have to pass to open up the run but first 3 quarters they ran ran pass. And eventually pas pas run which opened the run up good. Tough loss but we got the BYE. Lets regroup and get this party started.
