Brad Childress Fired

[Jontrem]

I think we have a good chance of winning this game. We need to stop Peterson before he gets going and have a good game protecting McNabb. If we can do that then we should be able to force a few TO's and win the game.

So I wonder what will happen with Favre now? After the game he made mention he will be re-evaluating his situation. So will he say adio's? Which means we will face Tarvaris Jackson. Hopefully if Bret says good bye Jackson throws a lot of interceptions. But I could see the new HC trying to get a spark and using him similar to how the Eagles used Vick. Make him use his legs.

It's hard to believe that team is the mess they've become. Considering many thought Chilly was long overdue, his firing really comes as no surprise. Don't know what that means for their engagement at Fed Ex on Sunday, just hope it dosen't serve as motivation.

It seems where Favre goes so do the Vikings. I hope he continues to suck.

Well with Chili gone now, I'm guessing Favre suddenly feels 100% healthy now

Just like we did last playoff run. Shutdown AP and we are good.

Hmmm, This will be interesting to see play out. Your guess is probably 100% correct.

I agree here. Minnesota is not a good team this year. Who cares if they fired their coach. They're still playing like shit. But they could easily come into Fed Ex and beat us cause we're not a good team either.

Tom Cable (took over 1-3 Oakland): Lost to New Orleans
Emitt Thomas (took over 3-10 Atlanta): Lost to Tampa
Dick Jauron (took over 4-7 Detroit): Lost to Minnesota

None of these teams was in the conference championship game the season before were they? The vikes are more comparable to dallas' firing of Wade, they have the talent just not the chemistry, leadership, etc. this year. Plus, Rice now has a game under his belt.

[hooskins]

Our worrying isn't going to change the outcome. Either we are going to show up or not.

Beyond this whole coaching mess, they have a huge DL and its going to be tough to block as well as we did last week. Tenn is really undersized at the line.

This could def. be a tough game. All those reports we've heard about Vikings players quitting on the field, well you can bet now that Chilly's gone Frazier will have them motivated and ready to play. And Frazier has been a head coaching candidate for at least a couple years now, so you can bet that he won't take this lightly. Things just got a lot harder for us now.

I see a lot of screen passes on the agenda, make those guys run east -west.
