Brad Childress Fired

[aceinthehouse]

Our fans need to stop saying "we will crush their ass"/I'm like really?

We have 5 wins
all of them were 6 pt's..or less
2 of those 5 were in Overtime
3 of those 5 were by 3 pt's or less

I'm at the point now,that if the Vikings had hired all the characters from "Idiocracy" and staffed the whole team with them....They would somehow make it a close game against us as well.

"Welcome to the Vikings..I Love you"
"Where's the time machine?" (he's been benched)

We need to get this win,no matter who's coaching or who's the QB.
and I don't care if it's another Overtime victory..
I'll take it.

Wonder if the protection will hold up against that DLine?

Bad thing. Leslie Frazier should have been a head coach a long time ago. At the very least he should have been a shoe in for the Buffalo job. We already saw what Garrett has done for the Cowboys so we can only hope that the same thing doesn't happen with us against the Vikings.

I agree, although they said Favre is starting this week, so one can hope he will stay set in his INT ways.

So we have to cover Rice, Harvin and Shiancoe well, and then just load of the box so AP can't run. I hope the Favre makes a couple of bonehead moves.

Screw that, I say we send his ass into retirement for once and for all.

Of course, we will do that and then Tavaris will play lights out in relief...

Players tend to kick it up a notch to keep the blame away. It's a tough game to win.

see Giants Cowboys.

We'll see... I mean I don't think we have played a team this year that gave a bad effort or didn't play hard.. It's the NFL, they're all going to be tough games... I'll admit though, I'd rather this have waited until next week. I'm just glad we're at home...

Could go either way, but with Favre's comments after the game I would lean towards a total collapse. The Packers were their main obstacle to the division crown and the Pack destroyed them. Even Chicago has a big edge over them. Doesn't matter who the QB will be, both are substandard. The Vikings were total idiots for getting rid of Rosenfels. WE get a great pass rush and we should be in good shape.

Uhhhuuuh. Like we always get a great pass rush. O wait....the Mannley duo isn't here...

I think the Skins play well and win, but I do worry about the Vikes having a Cowboys-like response to Chilly's firing. From what I've read in the past day, all the players for the most part are saying all the right things - "we respect Childress, blah blah blah." But I think everyone knows he lost that locker room weeks ago.

Leslie Frazier has been a head-coach in waiting for a while now (I think he's interviewed for HC jobs like 7 or 8 times). They could really get a spark from him. Sidney Rice is back to go with Percy and AP, and we'll be without half of our secondary again. These guys aren't VY and Nate Washington.

For some reason I have a good feeling about this game for us (doesn't happen often and I have no idea why I feel that way this week), but if Frazier can get this team to play up to it's talent level, we could be in trouble.

Last season's run in the playoffs got Chilly a contract extension from Zygi Wilf. It seems as if Chilly will pocket $6.6M as the buyout for the remainder of his contract - - in addition to the 10 "game checks" he earned for this year. [Note: Coaches are not always paid by the games they are under the employ of the team; that's why I put that in quotation marks...]


Not bad work - - - if you can get it.
