If it doesn't then the near disaster against Arizona should. One bad 
half of football nearly blew a hole in the ship's hull.........Ok, I'm 
getting ahead of myself a little, but I was thinking at halftime about 
our home field advantage advantage being nil.

I think you're overreacting just a little.

:)

The coaches seem to have faith in Johnson and Harris to fill the void. 
Considering the doubt that was thrown around during the summer about 
this team I'm willing to trust that they know what they're doing.

While Minny will end up with a better record they we might have expected 
(10+ wins) they are hardly a threat. With a win against them on Dec. 4 
we will effectively have a four game lead on them in the division. Plus 
you can count on a meltdown again just as what happened when they lost 
to the lowly Bills. Next week at SF looks ripe to me.

BTW Steve, nice post. Thanks for citing me in your work.
