Halftime Thoughts - Now with end of game thoughts

This is fucking insanity.

Daunte playing good.  9/16, 174 yards, 1 TD.  Hard to ask for more than that.  120 of those come from Ronald Curry who has torched the Vikes secondary.

That's about the extent of the good...

1 catch for 11 yards from Jerry Porter?  C'mon.  Step the fuck up or get the fuck off the field.

12 carries, 24 yards for Huggy Bear.  Guess the Vikes meant it when they said the Raiders weren't running today.

This defense is a fucking embarrassment.  A goddamn pathetic embarrassment.  If not for Tarvaris Jackson's ingrained ineptitudes--one fumble, one INT--this game would be a blowout.  12/15 for 114 yards?  When has he done that?  We're making him look like a probowler.

And don't get me started on the run defense.  Letting a career backup like Chester Taylor rip off 7 yards at a time, plus one big 40 yarder.

Can you imagine if Adrian Peterson were playing?  He'd have 150 or 200 yards already.  

And finally:  Fuck you, Lane Kiffin.

You get the ball back with less than a minute left...and you run.  Then an incomplete pass.  Then you GO FOR ANOTHER RUN PLAY?!  WITH TWO TIMEOUTS?!

You need to stop this conservative bullshit.  You're bold at all the wrong times and conservative at all the wrongs times.

And stop being such a stubborn jackass.  It's hurting the team.  You ruined our season by sticking by McClown.  Now you practically ruined this game by sticking with the run for a quarter and a half when it clearly wasn't working and Daunte was mostly on his game.  A man can admit when he's wrong.  Remember that.

Thanks to Daunte, SeaBass and Tarvaris Jackson for it being a tie at halftime.  Everyone else should refund their game checks to Al Davis.

I gotta jet.  Probably be back with post-game thoughts.

UPDATE:

I had a lot to say, but I don't feel like saying any of it.

Pathetic. Pathetic. Pathetic.

This is as bad as last year. There's now no difference. Everyone except Daunte and Kirk Morrison is playing with no fire or zeal or passion. Why is it that no coach can seem to make them play like they give a damn? Or with the slightest bit of discipline? What ghost haunts this team that no man seems to be able to exorcise it?

Fire Rob Ryan. Now.

Daunte, you deserve a better team.

So do the fans. I just don't know when we'll ever get one.
