... season-on-the-line, win or go home game? Let’s not forget the record-tying 99 yard bomb to Bernard Berrian. Another blown coverage. I blame the coaching staff for not correcting these errors. Babich needs to be held accountable. Babich might have the keys, but make no mistake about it, this is Lovie’s car. I don’t think the personnel on the roster today can successfully run this scheme....

... a post game interview. He said he didn’t understand why the Vikings didn’t make any adjustments. Bernard Berrian also said something to the effect of “we just run the plays we’re told”. Sounds like a vote of ‘no confidence’ to me. The year started and ended with poor QB play from Tavaris Jackson. T-Jack had a couple of good moments in the Eagles game, but when it mattered most he...

... in offering their endorsements (via the Pioneer-Press): Tight end Visanthe Shiancoe and receivers Bernard Berrian and Bobby Wade emphatically backed Jackson for the ‘09 campaign. Said Shiancoe: “I’m not thinking about any other quarterback in the offseason, at all. I feel like he’s the man. He’s proved that he can make plays.” Said Berrian: “You see all the intangibles. He’s...

... by a great player. A couple more jarring hits delivered by Brian Dawkins . One on AP, another on Bernard Berrian late in the game. Just another day at the office for B-Dawk. Asante Samuel is one of the best big-game cornerbacks I have ever seen. Playing in obvious pain, his pick six was a game-changer. Chris Clemons absolutely buried Tarvaris Jackson on Samuel’s TD return. Reminded...

That just shows the coaching staff and the rest of the players that we have faith in Tarvaris."Jackson's...

Vikings: With a running threat like Peterson, corners and safeties often can get caught peeking into the backfield, which has helped wide receiver Bernard Berrian average 20.1 yards per catch this season. But Jackson has been throwing mostly high-percentage stuff underneath to his backs, tight end Visanthe Shiancoe (seven TDs, 14.2 yards per catch) and possession wide receiver Bobby Wade....
