First of all..what a pentalty happy crew of officials we had today, no?  Secondly, your running game is scarry good and your corner back play is the tightest my Viking squad has ever seen this year.  Trust me, I do no give out accolades easily.  What I saw today was a slug fest that eventually wore out the away team.  Who knows what Domata Peko would have done today.  I think both QB play was very average to say the least.  Favre was efficient in what we expected from him, and Palmer simply did not have enough weapons and/or time to throw the ball.  I think Chris Henry being hurt hampered you guys a great deal, as we were stacking the box a good deal without the respect of the deep ball.. Has this been your problem since losing Henry? I think my post takes on a different approach if your team didn't commit so many pentalties.  Good game Bengals, and I would LOVE a remach in the Superbowl if our respective squads are so fortunate.  Good luck on the rest of your season.
