I know what you mean. It must be incredibly demoralizing for the players and fans to see the team continually self-destruct near the goal line.
Oh well, I'd rather they shake off their problems against another team. Hopefully, the Vikes will put them away early in the second half.
Sometimes, you drive so easily on the first drive that you just relax and can't get that edge back. It was so easy for Bret and Adrian on drive one, that it was supposed to be a laugher. Maybe they have to step up. Or maybe the Rams are so bad that the Vikes really won't have to ever play at a higher level.

I agree.
Consider the contrast between the 4-0 Vikes playing a bad Rams team and the Giants playing a bad Raiders team. The Vikes are up 17-3 in a game that could easily be tied. Meanwhile, the Giants are crushing Oakland 28-7 at the half. If people wonder why the Giants are getting "the love", that should help explain it.

Well, I attribute part of that to the fact that the Giants are playing at home, and the Vikes are on the road. HFA appears to be a factor in the Rams, Lions, and Chiefs games, making those bad teams appear a bit more competitive.
