Vikings 38, Bills 14

The Vikings blasted the Bills 38-14 today at the Metrodome.  I was expecting a much more competitive game but the Bills flat out stink.  They did it with Brett Favre on the bench for most of the game too, he was injured on the second offensive play of the game.  This win moves the Vikings to 5-7 on the year, they've got 4 more games to go, best case scenario is still 9-7, they've still got a slim shot at a playoff spot but I wouldn't bet on it.  Other observations?  1) The Vikings are now 2-0 under Leslie Frazier, they seem like a much looser bunch, they are not playing quite some tight, at this point I'd be all in favor of Frazier getting the interim removed from his title, they may as well keep him and the coaching staff together (that includes Darrell Bevell as OC and Fred Pagac as DC).  2) I really wish they'd keep Favre on the bench for the last 4 games, they really need to take a good look at Tarvaris Jackson at QB so that they can decide if he is their future QB, he had his good and bad moments today, for the most part I was happy, he just needs to be a bit smarter with the ball and not try to force it in (he had 3 INT's, I wasn't really his fault, the other 2 were ill advised).  3) I really like the way the defense plays with Fred Pagac calling the defensive signals, he seems much more aggressive than Frazier was and it's working, at least to this point.  4) Adrian Peterson looked great once again, he did it on an injured ankle too, the guy is a stud.  5) Sidney Rice had a nice game, it is becoming more and more evident just how missed he was over the first half of the season when he was out with an injury.  6) Next week, the NY Giants at the Metrodome, that'll be a tougher one.
