MANNING RULES- COLTS 18 VIKINGS 15 !!!

Peyton Manning pulled one out of his you know what yesterday.   Manning and the Colts looked like they were going to start off the season 0-2.  Not since 1998 has the Colts started there season off 0-2.  For 2.5 quarters the Vikings were the best team on the field. But the problem for the Vikings is that the NFL is a 4 quarter game.  And once you have a team like the Colts on the ropes you better knock them out.  Manning with 3 minutes plus in the game in the third quarter.  Threw a strike to Anothny Gonzales who then made flee flicker the ball over to Reggie Wayne who almost ran it in for a touchdown. The Colts did score in from the one yard line, to get back in the game 15-7.  Reggie Wayne also caught a 32 yard pass and a the 2 point conversion was made with Dominic Rhodes scoring to help tie the game up at 15.  But Manning at 3rd 9 under a minute.  Manning hit Reggie Wayne on a 22 yard pass.  Help set up a 47 yard field goal from Adam Vinatieri to help win the game.  The Vikings are offensively challange.  Tavris Jackson flat is not cutting it.  Jackson ability not to move this team on the offesne side  of the ball.  Has got his team in a 0-2 whole. Jackson was 14/24 for 130 yards.  Not bad numbers but no touchdown drives.  The Vikings offense mustard up 5 field goals and with a team like the Colts thats just not going to make it.  Too bad for Adrian Peterson 29 carries for 160 yards, so now let the talk begin on who should replace Tarvis Jackson, Jeff Garcia, Gus Ferriort or maybe even Daute Cullpepper, whoever steps in better be able to stir this ship because the big time Viking band wagon looks like it is about to crash.

This is a set back for Jackson due to in the first two preseason games he has look sharp.  Jackson was 15 for 22 and threw for 200 yards and also two touchdowns.   But the Vikings have to wonder if Jackson can stay healthy for the entire 16 game NFL season? Just last season Jackson missed 4 games due to being injuried. Jackson is still slated to be on the field Monday Night against the GreenBay Packers in Lambeau Field.  The question is how healthy will he be, And should the Vikings go after ex Viking Daunte Culpepper?
