We lost a game that very few people thought we could win. A number of people didn't execute in the game, and we made a number of mistakes, but this doesn't seem to be a particularly damning loss.
We played the run well, the offensive game plan was sound, and there's about a half-dozen plays that (if they had gone differently) would probably have swung the game the other way.
I just think we shouldn't be prone to overreaction. There's nothing we could do *now* that would really help the season (nobody trades LTs, and mid-stream coaching changes never work, for example), and all the guys who disappointed us for various reasons tonight will have at least 12 (and hopefully more) games to make their case.
Why overreact? This team historically starts slow under MM, and we certainly didn't play awful. We can still go 5-1 in the division, and Mike McCarthy is still 5-2 against the Vikings.
