First of all, this is not a good Viking team. Or at least the offense is not good. More specifically, the passing game is terrible. Maybe worse than last year's team.
Having said that, if this team didn't have bad luck it wouldn't have any luck at all. This game featured a Packer's fumble that was called incomplete. It was late in the game and probably would have led to a defensive score. The refs blew the call by blowing an early whistle. This joins the blown call from last week and the last second FG that bounced off of the upright to form the biggest plays of their three losses. Adding frustration to today's game was the blown call on the Vikes last interception.
I'm not saying that the Vikings outplayed them or blaming the loss on the refs. I'm just hoping that at some point the snakebite wears off and they catch a break. If not we could be looking at a 4 win season. At least that's a high draft pick, right?
How to fix the passing game? I've got a few suggestions. First, increase the tempo. I think it's harder for their QB's to get into rhythm with this slow of a game. Second, some quick passes. It's obvious that the O-Line is having trouble blocking for a long time. They desperately need to find someway to slow the pass rush. Third, more Sidney Rice and Bobby Wade. They've got some ability or at least good hands. Fourth? If Jackson or Holcomb can't playing winning football by season's end (and neither has shown us that they can), they simply must go out and get someone who can.

I completely agree with you. Also, where was Adrian Peterson during the last 20 minutes of the game?
I had to apologize to the TV this morning for yelling at it so much yesterday. It understood.
Ugh, you & my husband. We got into the worst fight cuz I told him to stop blaming it on the refs.
Your team always has PLENTY of opportunities to perform well. They need to start doing more with those opportunities, IMHO.
