Favre mic'd for the Lions game. A few chuckleworthy things to be said here. And even Favre can see that Childress tries to get too fancy with playcalling at times.

LOL,

"Damn Steven, what they got you in for?" right before he hikes it, classic.

You know what pisses me off I got most my negative points for laughing at the cutler trade saying he was over rated and at best an even trade for orton and now that I look like the next Mel Kiper where is the love? Freaking morons I hate the bears and when will they get rid of lovie bear?

the_legend_killer · 11-19-2009, 01:01 PM

And that's totally relevent to the Minnesota Vikings.

Kid_Ego · 11-19-2009, 01:04 PM

Well yes it is because that trade has allowed the Vikings to run away with a division. And gives minnesota every oppourtunity to linch the division by December

Here's a good article on Harvin: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/column...Percy%20Harvin

And I loved that Favre video.

I loled at that. Plus I love how he commented on how the playcalling gets to cute in the redzone. He couldnt be more right about that. This is a great video.

ESPN reports Brad Childress has agreed to an extension that will keep him with Vikings through 2013

They should have waited after the year. He has improved the team every year but his coaching scares me and we don't know if he can win in the Playoffs.

I can't believe how much a competent QB actually did for our team. When TJack took over late in the 4th, he proved to me that he does suck and that he is not the future. I'd much rather have Sage Rosenfels or a rookie QB.

****. My. Life.

I really don't understand how the front office can not realize that although our record has gotten better each year it's despite Childress and not because of him. I mean they get PAID to make decisions like this. ******* frustrating.

What the hell? How did he prove that against Detroit? Sidney dropped a pass and the pass to Greg Lewis was basically a throw away. Other than that, he just ran out the clock.

Exactly. If we don't make it to at least the NFCCG, Childress should be gone, but now he definitely won't.

I agree, how does him playing in garbage time, and throwing what, 2 passes, 1 of which was a good throw that Sidney just flat out dropped prove that he's not going to be anything ever. It means nothing.

He didn't necessarily prove it against Detroit, but he definitely proved it for 2 years before that. Seeing what our WR's are doing right now even takes away the "he doesn't have anyone to throw to" excuse.

We could just cut him for all I care, he's terrible.

IDK about the WRs part. He didn't have Percy and Rice missed a lot of last year and wasn't 100% the rest of it. Berrian has had a mediocre season this year, and hasn't been even close to last year. Shiancoe is doing about the same this year as well, with only getting more TDs. So, the way I see it, the only guys doing much better are Rice and Harvin, and we didn't have Harvin last year and Rice was beat up, and missed a lot of time, so that proves nothing on that part either.

I'm not saying T-Jack is going to be the guy, but the arguments being made are bogus and don't make that point.

Good point on the receivers, I forgot that Rice had injury problems last year.

I'm just sick of the excuses for Jackson. He sucks. End of story. He hasn't done anything in his entire career that would lead me to believe that he has the potential to be an NFL starting quarterback. I've seen to many of his slant passes land 5 feet in front of receivers and too many jump passes into coverage for me to have any hope for him.

The_Dude · 11-19-2009, 07:41 PM

I am very annoyed that the Vikings front office extended Childress during the season. While he has improved their record each year, this year's success is pretty much all due to the addition of Favre.

I think that the Queen's should have extended him after the season. The expections were high at the start of the year & if the team does not meet those expectations, i.e. make it to the NFC Championship game/Superbowl, then there is no chance that they would get rid of him.... and we all know that no one is more likely to grab defeat from the clutches of victory than the Little General.

If they would win the SuperBowl, then it probably would have cost them like $1 million more a year, but then the extension would have been more deserved.

Just my two cents.

I'm not making excuses for him, but he's not as bad as you're making it sound. We probably will never get a chance to see him play for us again in meaningful minutes though as he's a FA after this season, and I don't think he'll be back.

This.

And I think we need to get whatever we can for Jackson at the end of the season. A draft pick....maybe a decent player....a bag of beef jerky...etc

vikes_29 · Yesterday, 03:30 AM

IDK, maybe I'm just biased against Jackson or something because Favre has come in and done a wonderful job. It just doesn't seem like he has confidence or going through the motions if you will. I can't really explain my feelings here. I'm just baffled at what Favre has done for this team. But I will still not buy his jersey.
