all of a sudden they can't run the ball and they can't stop the run not a winning formula, favre isn't capale of carrying any team on his back he needs the ol to open up the holes and force defenses to put 8 in the box

Manhandled? Can't stop the run? Did you watch either game? Arizona ran the ball SEVEN TIMES the ENTIRE GAME. Carolina ran the ball at a clip of 3.1 yards per carry. Thats hardly getting manhandled. Even against Zona, Warner averaged 6 yards per pass attempt and that offense is as lethal as any in the NFL.

Both games were on Sunday night where the dog has a history of being extremely dangerous especially at home. Believe it or not, teams lose football games. It happens.

The question is whether or not this is a pattern. Against Cincinatti, the sandwich game, they were extremely effective. Cincy runs better than either Carolina or Zona.

For the record, Im NOT a Viking fan nor do I have any real confidence in them. I think they are a solid squad but if they are beaten by any of the teams currently eligible for the NFC postseason, I would not be shocked. At least, not nearly as shocked as I was watching Dallas beat up the Saints on Saturday.
