Packers 28, Vikings 24

The Vikings drop another one, this time 28-24 to the Packers.  They now fall to 2-4, with 10 games left you'd have to assume they need to go at a minimum of 7-3 in those last 10 to even have a chance at the playoffs (even then they'd just be 9-7).  I'm beginning to think that they would have been better off had Favre retired, he hasn't played good at all, he had 3 more INT's tonight, that pick 6 he threw to Desmond Bishop was devastating.   Other observations?   1) Adrian Peterson had a heckuva game (131 yards rushing), he still hasn't fumbled this year either.  2) Percy Harvin also had a nice game, he seems to be doing much better since they solved his migraine issues (sleep apnea), the addition of Randy Moss has also helped (as they could move him back to the slot where he is much more comfortable.  3) Visanthe Shiancoe was robbed when his TD catch was overruled by replay, that was a TD, they then needed to settle for a FG, that's the losing margin right there. 4) Speaking of replays, the Vikings made a mistake in not requesting a replay of the Andrew Quarless TD, that was not a catch.  5) Where's the pass rush?  Not one sack tonight.  Wake up Jared Allen, you're getting paid a lot of money to get to the QB, you need to step up your game.   6) The secondary wasn't much better, there seemed to be somebody open all night long.  7) Things don't get much easier from here, next week they are in New England to take on the Patriots, that will be no easy chore.
