Titans-Vikings Boxscore
This game was a VERY winnable game, because it did not turn out that way at all. The Vikes turned the ball over 4 times and three of those were less than 40 yards in their territory. The Vikes shot themselves in the foot all game long. I really does not matter who you have on your team, you are not going to win in this league with stupid errors like that. It was a difficult game to watch. I have to say this that BRAD CHILDRESS and the Vikes better bring their A game against the Saints or they can kiss any hope for the playoffs goodbye along with their coach. Childress is not using the tools that he had on offense the way they should be. So questions the future Burger King manager:
1. Why do you split time with Taylor and Peterson one and it works and not the next?
2. When down by two scores in the 4th quater, what is the point in punting the ball away?
What was that?

The offense
The offense had it good and ugly moment in much of the game. They are showing the inconsistency they had last season again. The positive of the offense was once again Adrian Peterson he rushed for 80 yards on 18 carries and 2 touchdown runs. WE have recievers that can catch the ball this season. We had two recievers to go over 70 yards in the game in Wade and Berrian. Gus Frerotte was 26-43 266 yards, but 1 INT( On the interception Gussie hurt his hand and Tarvaris Jackson made a brief showing at the tail end of the game. ), no touchdowns and sacked 4 times. I am not that sure if he is holding on to the ball too long or is it that our line is not giving hime the protection in which is needed.We did out gain the Titans, but the defense did control the offense most of the game.
If the Vikes keep playing like this I will be counting down til Childress get walk out like he deserves right now.
The Defense
This unit held the Titans down as well as the could. The rush defense held the 7th ranked rushing offense for under 75 yards on 28 carries. The passing defense held Kerry Collins under 200 yards passing.With the play of Antonio Winfield is two weeks in a row that the Vikes were able to stop both the run and the pass. With the offensive miscues that game the Titans great field position and they scores 3 TDs against the Vikes. Jared Aleen did pretty much nothing during this game again. I am thinking that he was just a one year wonder, what a waste of money and DRAFT PICKS so far in the season.If the Vikes keep playing like this I will be counting down til Childress get walk out like he deserves right now.
