My thoughts:

1) It's been said already but I know I must have voiced the phrase "Damn, we need to put more pressure on Brad Johnson!" at least a dozen times. A veteran QB will find the open man given enough time.

2) Another was our special teams tackling. Did Frost actually lead our team in tackles?

3) Even though Hall shanked the potential game-tying kick, a 47 yarder is not automatic so I wasn't shocked when he missed it.

4) If Moss had been able to hold onto the ball in the endzone we'd be much happier today. Actually if just one more red zone opportunity had yielded a touchdown we'd be talking a different story today.

5) Kenny Wright, Mike Rumph and Adam Archuleta are all new members of our secondary, Carlos Rogers is in his second year. We just need more cohesion there to prevent the long third down conversions.

6) Funny, how I commented that it would be better for us to have the Vikings at 3rd and short rather than 3rd and long because our run D was playing so well.

7) I still don't believe the Vikings are all that great. They have good players but as a team they'll struggle. First game of the season isn't exactly a tell-tale indicator of how a team will finish. At least, I hope not for our sake.

8) I was actually pleased with the offense. I wish Brunell would find a happy medium between taking a chance and throwing it away on third downs but I guess that is better than a potential turnover.
