Just a couple of thoughts as I continue to be a fan of some awful teams right now.

First of all, the Vikings.

The game against the Bears today and the game against the Buccaneers a few weeks back showed something in the flawed thinking of the offensive coordinator fairly early in the game. Basically the scenario was this: the Vikings are behind by a touchdown and are ripping down the field setting up for a score. They hand off to Adrian Peterson most of the time down the field. He rips through the defense and gets the Vikings down to inside the 20 yard line. Then, the offensive coordinator for some unknown reason, thinks, “Wow, this has been working. We need to do something else.” 

So, instead of handing off to Peterson, they throw the ball. Today, they threw three times, got nowhere, then had the field goal blocked. The Bears went to to beat the Vikings easily. It happened in the Buccaneer game as well.

Then there are the Kansas City Chiefs.

All I can ask is they have the decency to lose every game the rest of the way and hold onto that number one draft pick. If they can’t get a clear shot at a clearly superior QB, then trade that pick for some good picks down the line and get a veteran QB. Oh, and fire the GM and the coach.

All of this, coupled with Notre Dame actually being back in the championship game has given me an Excedrin headache. I’m glad I’m not a huge fan. It could be brutal.
