[CBFF] Game Comments: Minnesota Vikings 12/17/07

[Phil DeNomme]

Miller is frakking horrible.

Turner is frakking horrible.

All QBs are horrible.

Agree on Olin...almost all his shotgun snaps were low.

You forgot to note the sucktitude that is Miller.

Plus, how many bad shotgun snaps did Kruez make?
