If Tolbert's hairstyle means anything, the guy really wishes he was a Cowboy.

A lot of them because the Vikings are doing a good job of covering the WR's downfield.

Tolbert has looked fine, but I'm not sure why anyone would say he has looked better than Mathews today.
Mathews has 10/43 rushing and 2/62 receiving.
Tolbert has 11/35 rushing and 9/58 receiving.
Mathews has 3 plays of 20+ yards. Tolbert has none, though he just caught a 19 yard TD. Tolbert has 3 TDs, but IMO that is more circumstantial. If they keep playing like this, IMO Mathews is going to claim a greater share of the workload.

This is a very frustrating game to watch. Vikings have the talent to win this game. Allen intercepts the ball and Viking start to move the ball on the ground. Then they bring in the so called Blazer package and San Diego know Webb is not going to pass. All momentum is lost.

Pitts forgot the score for a second.

Walters just looked really, really silly.

True, but the circumstances have been that the Chargers were in scoring position, and we have yet to see Matthews on the field when that happens.

And what I'm saying is that if the two of them continue playing the way they have today, that will change.

I'm blown away with how terrible McNabb has been. How do you have 39 passing yards in a game?

Pitts has finally figured out what's been going on. All game he has been talking about how dominant the Vikings have been on both offense and defense, and now he says that Vikings never got a passing game going.

I see what you are saying, but you might be giving Norv too much credit.

Pitts just said, "The hard count is killing us."
Nice objectivity.

After this performance, I'm wondering if he isn't the worst QB on the Vikings roster.

They were playing with the lead for a good portion of the game too.

Ugh.. If this happens again, put in Ponder the rest of the year. Or play for Luck.
I hope he is OK.

Vikes offense looked horrible overall. Defense was pretty good in the first half but you can't keep Rivers down for long. Key turnaround was when the vikes started screwing around with Webb. Terrible playcalling there.

Vikings did a pretty good job keeping the deep ball in check. He was wide open on a potential deep TD pass, but Rivers overthrew him. Other than that, the Viking D kept everything in front of it.

As the announcers pointed out, Rivers didn't really overthrow him. Jackson didn't come hard out of his break, apparently not expecting the ball, and when he saw it, he couldn't quite catch up. Had he run hard out of the break, it would have been a TD.
Was real worried for N. Turner early on.
With new rules and P. Harvin back there the kickoff return for td to start game was just unacceptable.
Think next possession San Diego was 4th and 20 at Minn's 30 yard-line. No kicker. I think the playcall was for Rivers to throw a lob in the endzone. Almost like a hail-mary. If it was picked it would have acted as a punt. Well Rivers just lobbed it into the endzone where I don't even think a WR was even in the area resulting in an incomplete pass.
As Rivers walked off the field he was screaming at Turner. Kind of thought he said, "That was bull####. You got give me more then that." Probably not the right words but Rivers was on Turner.
If San Diego had lost this one the clubhouse would have been near mutiny IMO.

Underthrown and it was a floater. Then you have Berrian playing like his usual terrible self. If he would of attacked the ball, it's a catch. Instead he's tentative and cries about not drawing a pass interference call. What a total pile of garbage.I like out D and STs, but that was such a horrible way to loose. This will be a terrible team that will loose a lot of close games. Looks like Minnesota doesn't have to worry about getting rid of the Loserville, USA moniker.

Skimming the box score and play-by-play, is this an accurate summary of the game?
SD with a number of clock-eating drives, Harvin's return and some Rivers INTs kept it close, and McNabb was a one-man suckfest on 3rd downs.

Yeah, I'd like to hear about McNabb (Harvin owner here)- how did he only have SEVEN pass attempts in a losing effort? Can he rebound from this?

Easy.. The coaching staff got lazy.. or just stupid in the 2nd half
He attempted 15 passes for the game.. 15?!?!?!?! Are you kidding me?? It was almost like they came out in the 2nd half and said "We are up 10.. GAME OVER!!!" 1. I think I remember them going deep once or twice and Berrian reverted back to his butter fingers and dropped one of the passes. 
2. Did I miss the report that the TE's missed the plane

I'm curious about this wrist injury and if it was a major limiting factor in the game plan and the cause of that performance. McNabb couldn't have looked worse. He missed a number of very easy throws and his deep ball to BB looked nothing like the one they had in the preseason.
Is there some play in football more successful than a touchdown that I'm not aware of?
