Duds: just Toure. Carlson close but not quite a dud. I don't like the way his kicks always seem to curve, sometimes left, sometimes right, and he doesn't seem to be able to control which of the two.

Numerous Studs: From the top down, Gutekunst for putting together what I called at the beginning of the season a loaded team. For a while, it didn't look that way, but now things are shaping up, not to mention doing a bang up job of bringing in scrap heap players. LaFleur for his play calling - I criticized him last week and other times, but tonight either he was damn good or the Vlkings D was just damn bad, maybe both. Players other than the obvious: Balentine got a lot of deserved praise, but Valentine, wow, the guy was mostly hanging right there with one of the league-best WRs. Kenny Clark played at a particularly high level. Many many others.
