1. Well, you know why the Vikings don't eat cereal for breakfast.

Whenever they get too close to a bowl, they choke.

if nobody beats the Sea Slugs in the next two weeks, they'll be in the Superb Owl in our house! Even if they end up losing again, the streets would be swarming with .12 men for the whole week.

5. If they don't play better against Carolina, that's not going to be a problem

The Vikings are decent, but Seattle didn't have much going all day.

4. Perhaps if the footballs were properly inflated, the outcome would have been different.

Based on the on-field temperature and the process outlined by the NFL, there's no way they could have been within league mandated guidelines.

7. And how hard is it to kick a deflated football?

Especially one that's been thoroughly deflated for three-plus hours?

Minnesota's kicker to miss an attempt in point-blank range. The rest of their team pretty much did what they could.

9. If Munnerlyn had stayed man on his receiver

instead of thinking that the line and linebackers couldn't get Wilson on that muffed snap, Seahawks wouldn't have converted and no touchdown.

Can't pin this all on Walsh. He was the only source of points in the game. Should he make a 27-yarder? Sure. But they shouldn't have put him in that position.

11. I have heard that the balls deflated in the cold

which will make things very interesting if we end up with a rematch of last year's Superb Owl.

13. I think the "science is settled" on whether a football will deflate in the cold.

You can see the basic principle of this in the comfort of your own home. I'd bet this guy's freezer is warmer than it was in Minnesota today.
