How horrible did the Vikings look last night against the Eagles on Monday Night Football? They lost by two touchdowns, but played so horribly in every facet of the game- goal-line fumbles, missed field goals, touchdowns called back, and a couple dozen penalties- that it wasn’t even that close. Good thing the Twins clinched during the game, it took away some of the sting.
LilB, of course, called me and sang “Fly Eagles Fly” after every Philadelphia touchdown; when the Vikings scored late I retaliated by singing the “catch a beat running like Randy Moss” lyric from Outkast’s “The Whole World.” Then, at one point in the third quarter I said “you know, the Vikes might still be in this game, if only their head coach weren’t semi-retarded.”
Speaking of which, I loved when Tice forgot to throw the challenge flag after Terrell Owens’ non-touchdown. It was almost like he was making a draft pick or something.

I still believe that the Vikes and my beloved Pack will rise to the top of the division, probably splitting the series on each other's turf(did you know that I heard this morning on Mike and Mike on ESPN radio that the Vikes have lost 14 of their last 17 games outdoors?).
And yes, the Vikes looked rotten yesterday...when you fumble on your opponents one inch line, you got problems. Just ask ahman Green vs. the Bears this past Sunday.

We'll see I guess.
