Matt Moore seems to have the dump-off-in-front-of-the-linebacker pass down pat...why in the hell would they throw anything else, except in the one obvious Hail Mary situation--and even then, they should have just gone ahead and attempted the field goal even after the penalty.

Pats won't make it to the ACS game, they ain't sandbagging, they're struggling.

And can either NY Jets (@Indy) or Buffalo (home v Indy) prevent the 'perfect' regular season of the Colts?

Come on, NBC...Matt Moore totally deserved that postgame interview.

Plus, he's a quarterback, so he would at least have been able to speak intelligently. Julius was ok (certainly way better than Steve Smith was), but d-linemen aren't anywhere near o-linemen in terms of average intelligence.

That's what happens when you only run the ball half as often as you throw it.

Vikings Pass/Rush plays week-by-week

Wk 1: 22 Pass / 37 Rush - 62.7% Rushing - WIN
Wk 2: 28 Pass / 25 Rush - 47.2% - WIN
Wk 3: 46 Pass / 27 Rush - 40% - WIN
Wk 4: 32 Pass / 30 Rush - 48.4% - WIN
Wk 5: 27 Pass / 24 Rush - 47.1% - WIN
Wk 6: 29 Pass / 31 Rush - 51.7% - WIN
Wk 7: 50 Pass / 23 Rush - 31.5% - LOSS
Wk 8: 28 Pass / 32 Rush - 53.3% - WIN
Wk 9: BYE WEEK
Wk 10: 31 Pass / 31 Rush - 50% - WIN
Wk 11: 33 Pass / 37 Rush - 52.9% - WIN
Wk 12: 48 Pass / 34 Rush - 41.5% - WIN
Wk 13: 45 Pass / 20 Rush - 30.8% - LOSS
Wk 14: 30 Pass / 37 Rush - 55.2% - WIN
Wk 15: 27 Pass / 14 Rush - 34.1% - LOSS

...every game where rush attempts drop below 40% of offensive plays, the Vikings have lost.

It's a tossup when rush attempts drop below 45% of plays, as they very nearly lost against the 49ers in Week 3, and the Bears in Week 12 had nothing to play for.

It's so goddamned obvious why they lose, but they continue to ignore Peterson when he doesn't produce early in favor of Favre. It's exactly what I feared...

...and the gave Childress a contract extension. :palm:

Well im disaapointed about the loss to the Chargers but at least we showed we could come back, and that we are good enough to hang with them. We should have clinched this week, but hey we still play Kansas City and the Jes and we cant lose to both of them.
