Oh thanks god. I hope we tank just enough to ensure he gets fired. I remember flipping through the tv and catching a bit of Raw I think or maybe Smackdown in I assume Minnesota and I saw a bunch of Fire Childress signs. It seems Zygi is starting to take notice.

I love the idea of bringing in Cowher or Schotenheimer. I would love to see some Martyball with AD and I think Cowher's hard noce approach would be perfect.

Woo!...Same exact thoughts here. Despite whatever Ozzy thinks, the Vikings simply need to part with Childress, as he is the single biggest factor holding this team down. I really hope we'd go after Cowher or Schottenheimer (preferrably Cowher) before Fassell though.

That might as well have been on Wikipedia. I don't trust that at all.

He is most likely out.

[FuzzyGopher]

There is a story on PFT (yeah i know..) that Henderson could be out at least a month. Not good, he is great in run support and a good blitzer.

[vikes_28]

that sucks. who replaces him? im super pissed off right now. it all goes back to that thing that i said earlier about depth...

[Vikes99ej]

I actually have a good feeling about this game.

Because both a win and a loss have the ability to bring joy to us hapless Vikings fans???

****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Huge loss for us guys.

With Henderson out, second-year player David Herron is expected to take his place in the middle — at least for the short term. The Vikings will need to examine their options and could consider moving Ben Leber from the weak-side to the middle. The team also had former Viking Dontarrious Thomas in for a workout last week. Thomas was considered the Vikings top backup at all three linebacker positions last season but left in free agency to sign with San Francisco. The 49ers, however, cut Thomas before the season started.

Please god, no. For my mental health do not sign Thomas.

[The_Dude]

Ugh.

Let the downward spiral that is our season continue.

I never knew that toes were that important?!?!

[Kid_Ego]

First I want to address Seneca Wallace simply put he is being coached by a real QB mentor. Brett Farve Mark Brunell Kurt Warner Hasselbeck This guy has a real eye for talent and He hasnt kept Wallace this long because of trick plays.

Second Losing EJ is huge, there goes the neighborhood. I would really like to see thomas signed move leber inside and thomas outside and that should soften the blow, Plus he is a good special team player.

Third Suzy Kohler is a complete ******* hottie!!!!!!!!!

Childress is a freaking joke period dont see where he has drafted good at all. He has signed some free agents but even they are over paid.

I see one decent starter he drafted Chad Greenway, but in the same draft he did this
Drafted Tavis jackson, Ryan Cooke Cedric Griffith Traded For Hicks None of these guys are even decent
then his free agent signings suck
Stonehands shiacoe, Benard over paid Berrian, Skip hicks WHOOOO
Jared Allen is the one exeption but I have to admit I still expected a little more,
Sydney Rice hasnt stayed on the field
Audrae Allison s probably our single Bright spot of our receiving corp
Chester Taylor is very good at times but the guy just plain puts the ball up for grabs too freaking much, And it always seems to be at critical times

**** about Seneca Wallace.

[vikes_28]

what the hell happend to AD? i thought he was going to own the saints defense. i was wrong. and he lost for me on my fantasy team...

[rchrd]

Bush's two returns for touchdowns made him the 12th player in NFL history to accomplish the feat and tied a single-game record.

Childress couldn't have been happy with the coverage but he reserved most of his venom for punter Chris Kluwe.

''Both of those kicks are supposed to be out of bounds,'' said Childress, who had what appeared to be a heated sideline exchange with Kluwe after Bush's second return. ''When you say to somebody kick the ball out of bounds that's what you expect to happen. That's what I expect to happen from a professional football kicker. ... Disappointed that we weren't able to get that done, and that's the idea we were trying to get through.''

Asked if Kluwe struggles with what amounts to punting directionally and out of bounds, Childress said: ''You know what, if he can't do that I'll find somebody that can kick the ball out of bounds.''

This doesnt make me feel any sympathy for Childress but I thought it was an interesting sidenote to the game.

Sounds to me like a coach desperatly trying to keep his job. Childress is an idiot.

[vikes_28]

that sounds like a load of ********. i know it wasnt a pretty victory...aka two returned punts...

but the fact of the matter is is that its a W on the vikings record.

granted i still have discontent with Childress...as all of us do. except ozzy...he hasnt been on since i chewed his ass. lol.

Gonzo i agree one hundred percent. he does sound like a coach that is trying to keep his job.

[vikes_28]

maybe i should write a letter to the vikings...saying to fire brad childress....

let me expand...

way back in the denny green era, i wrote a letter of discontent to the vikings saying that he should get fired.

and low and behold at the end of the season he was fired.

I have wrote letters to viking players with a football card inside searching for autographs and I did receiver 2 back from Marcus McCauley and Chester Taylor so Letters do work lol.

Looks like we worked out some punters today.

– Crossett: A four-year letterman who appeared in 39 games as a punter and kicker at Missouri, he signed with the Colts this spring.

– Pakulak: He was signed as an undrafted free agent in 2003 and has had stops with the Steelers, Falcons, Titans, Bears and Raiders. He was released from Oakland’s practice squad in September.

– Paulescu: Originally signed by the Dallas Cowboys as an undrafted free agent in 2007, he was let go before that season. The Vikings are familiar with Paulescu. He punted five times against them for Denver in the 2007 regular-season finale.

– Plackemeier: He was drafted by Seattle in the seventh round of the 2006 draft after winning the Ray Guy award for his punting at Wake Forest in 2005. He was the Seahawks punter in 2006 and 2007 but lost his job early this season after one regular-season game. He had missed much of training camp recovering from pectoral surgery.

Another reason that Childress fails. Kluwe is a beast.
