Vikings running up the score.

I disagree. Most teams won't expect a halfback pass from Chester Taylor under any game situations. And it certainly is possible to call for a fake FG in a situation where the defense isn't expecting to see it. The fact that they tried it against the Lions is probably more telling, as the Lions are not a good team to test whether or not a play might work (mainly because most plays work against the Lions).

 

I don't buy it. What team, with that score, is going to even remotely suspect a fake FG? You might just as well practice it against pylons, because its not a real game situation.

It WAS over 50 yards...just saying, thats no gimmie...

 

Now, Swerski should be here any minute to tell me what a horrible, mean person I am that knows nothing about sportsmanship.

 

You may not know much about sportsmanship, but I can't argue with not wanting to try a 50+ yarder. It was also still in the third quarter and Tarvaris/Williamson/MIN D isn't exactly comparable to Brady/Moss/Pats D. I would've gone for the FG myself, but it's not like the Vikes are a lock to hold a lead.

In that game they were,it looked as lopsided as most of the Pats games have been.It was that ugly.

I think I just saw Adrian Peterson score again.
