man, what a great game. what a complete team effort. i don't think i've seen the offense, defense, and special teams all look so good at once. most teams don't get it together that well, let alone the bengals. sure, they weren't perfect. far from it. a franchise record seventeen penalties was absolutely horrible. especially when they cost us an awesome 80-something yard touchdown pass from palmer to perry, and two more fumbles by the defense (you suck, david pollack). but the fact that all those penalties never really put us in any danger is a testament to how well the rest of the game went. our offense is really turning it on. palmer's interception in the endzone was a poor choice, but other than that there are few complaints. nine different people catching passes on an offense is unreal. so is forcing seven turnovers on defense (nine without penalties). the defense started out looking a little poor against the run, but quickly forced a fumble and it was all downhill for the viking offense from there. at least until the last three minutes, with our second string in. not getting the shutout was a little disappointing, as was kitna not getting to play. there was no reason for palmer to play the fourth quarter at all. still, nothing bad happened so its okay. the bears looked scary today, but we'll hope that they're the ones having a fluke, and not us. it should be a good game.
