Yeah. Although with Moss it can be hard to tell. He likes to put both hands on the DB right before catching the ball; if he doesn't want to be flagged, he shouldn't do that.

Anybody else notice that Moss has another excellent game, but his team still lost? Sometimes he seems to have that effect. Although it seemed clear that he really wants to play for the Raiders. He was working hard every play, it looked like -- something he wasn't doing in his last couple of seasons here on the tundra.

I think the Vikes will get it together by midseason, anyway. The RBs looked a lot better yesterday, and that final drive wasn't too bad. I think the offensive line is still a work in progress. That, and the receivers are having a hard time getting open -- and Daunte is having a hard time seeing them when they are.

This has LOONNNNGGG season -- and Tice's head on a platter -- written all over it.
