The Interesting Stuff vs Bills
- Honoring the former coach. The best thing about this game is the fact it hosted a ceremony putting Dennis Green in the Vikings Ring of Honor. His son sounded the Gjallarhorn before the game and Paul Allen was the MC for his ceremony. A nice touch to a horrible game.
- Stop taking the ball out! The possibility of breaking a return isn’t worth the gamble when you risking losing the ball on the 25-yard line or even a player injury. Just take the knee or let it bounce out and take the field position. When you’re can’t move the ball offensively take the yards you’re given!
- Romo in the announcing booth. After a couple of weeks of average to below average commentary, listening to the former Cowboys quarterback call the game was a refreshing change of pace. Even with a blowout, he kept giving great insight and even had a great joke about Ryan Fitzpatrick.
- A silent U.S. Bank Stadium. The game got out of hand early, and then fans started to sit on their hands. Fans got to see a great comeback attempt against the Packers last week, so it’s a little frustrating not to hear the crowd supporting the squad at the stadium when they need them.
- Win, Lose, or Draw. With this embarrassing loss to Buffalo, the Vikings move to 1-1-1 on the season, earning a win, a loss, and a draw. This is something Vicki Lawrence would find particularly interesting, but not where fans of Minnesota would hope the team would be.
