Looks Like Chilly Is Staying This Week

With the Vikes 27-24(OT) win over the Cards on Sunday was not much of a surprise. In this game it was much like the season has been going so far in 2010, up and down. With the heroics of Brett Favre and the receivers with 3 minutes and change left in the 4th quarter to comeback from a 14 point deficit. Favre had his more passing yards in a game for his career. His second 4oo yards passing performance, his last was when Percy Harvin was 5 years old.


The Cards capitalized from the Viking mistakes in this one, a Harvin fumble for a AZ TD and a kickoff for a TD. The Arizona offense was not all that great. With the Vikes finally started to apply pressure Derek Anderson was helpless under center getting sacked 6 times. Yeah that is right coming into the game that is how many sacks the Vikes had ALL season. 

With this win it puts some ice in the fire for the hot seat that Chilly is currently sitting on. With the firing of Wade Phillips, now the Vikes have the worst and most ridiculous coach in the NFL. Now barring a complete turnaround. This should be the final season for Chilly. It looks like the status will be week-to-week on his job status.

If I were Chilly I would be thanking my lucky stars that Favre had the game that he did. He and Wade would be in the unemployment line right now.

If The Fans Did Not Hate Chilly Before

As a Viking fan, it sure has been a LONG week from my perspective to say the least. As my loyal readers know that I live in the Green bay area. So you can understand where I am coming from.



If anyone has been desert on an island and even then I am sure you heard the news that the Vikings cut ties with WR Randy Moss.It was the decision on Head coach Brad Childress to do this because Moss. With this move, Chilly sure did put his butt on the fire once again. The owner of the Vikes was even considering firing Childress and keeping Moss from going on the waiver wire. It just seemed that Childress did not want to deal with Moss anymore. During the week, Childress stated that the trade for Moss was a 'poor decision.' If he is still the coach for the Vikes, the the franchise as a whole is in trouble.


I also heard that the Minnesota Timberwolves fanbase was chanting"FIRE CHILLY," during the game. It is just so sad to imagine that a coach has so much talent on the offense and is so clueless how to execute a game plan.

It is going to be interesting to see if the Vikes are going to playing hard against the Cardinals and win this Sunday. It is going to be a true test to see if Clueless Chilly has lost the locker room or not.

Lost Faith

With Brad Childress waiving WR Randy Moss this past week was a shock to so many people.

What Did We Learn Moday Night?

The defense kept us in the entire game. It is obvious that the Vikes have a Super Bowl caliber defense. With the ACL injury to CB Cedric Griffin. It will be interesting to see who will be filling that role the best. My bet will be Sanford or Cook.

Now if the offense mainly the QB could be playing at the same level as the defense the Vikes would be in great shape. The way that Favre played in the 2.5 quarter was horrendous. He could not hit the open receiver. So far in the season that had so much promise for the Vikes has been nothing, but heartbreak.He missed MULTIPLE open receivers throughout the game. There is a reason, why he has one of his worst passing percent game even in his career.   


The Vikes have  all the weapons in Moss, Harvin and of course Peterson the run with the big boys. The question is can Favre use all the weapon instead to overshooting the receiver. That will remain to be seen. 

Can the Vikes get over the hump and not lose another close game next week against the Cowboys @home?

Will Moss Take Issue?

With the arrival of Randy Moss to the Vikes this past week was all over the news. Now with this trade, the Vikes receiving corps is or should be thrilled to have someone with Moss's caliber on the teams. The Jets do not seem to be to worried about Moss this week.

I for one am not that sure if the DB that will be defending Moss should be talking so much smack.

Here is a quotes from Revis that has been on his island for most of the season: "In the second half, you could tell he was putting his foot on the brakes," Revis said about Moss' performance against the Jets, via ESPNNewYork.com.  "I mean, everybody knows that's Randy. Sometimes he plays 100 percent, sometimes he doesn't."

I am not sure what he is talking about considering that Antonio Cromartie shut Moss down in the second half. I think with this kind would will be motivation for Moss and the Vikes to take it to the Jets on all levels.

Sure if funny a motivated Moss is a freak of a receiver. So we will see which Moss will be showing up on Monday Night. 

The only question I have can Favre get Moss the ball? We all will see that on MNF.

Randy Moss Is Coming Home Boys!!!

No we Viking fans are not dreaming it has come true. With an receiving corps that currently does not have a true deep threat in the passing game. The Vikings knew that they needed to get one in there. So a couple of weeks ago, the Vikes tried to acquired Vincent Jackson for the Chargers as that guy. Lucky, for the Vikes that class prick AJ Smith want to much that any team would be willing to give up.


Head down the road a couple of weeks. There was word that the Vikes and Patriots were talking about a possible trade for former Viking Randy Moss. The deal was officially announced this morning, that both team agreed on the terms of the Pats sending Randy Moss to the Vikes in exchange for a 2011 3rd round pick.  

It looks like Moss will be playing in two straight Monday Night Football games. Now the Vikes have a legit deep threat at the receiver position, while Rice is out. It will be interesting to see how Moss will impact the Vikes this season.

Bye Week Blues Are Over

I sure do hate bye weeks especially this early in the season. I love to watch football, but it just is not the same watching the other teams. It seems that the player did keep thier noses clean for the bye week, so that is great to hear that the Vikes had no Love Boat incidents.


Some Viking news that did happen during the bye was not that terrible.The Not Fun League(NFL) office intold Allen that his "calf roping" celebration after sacks is against the rules.The NFL informed Allen that he will be subjected to a 15-yard penalty and a league fine the next time he does the celebration.


The league prohibits players from going to the ground in celebrations. Allen takes a knee, pretends to rope a calf and then throws his arms in the air after sacks. We'll see if Allen now just does the celebration while standing up.So far the Allen's next sack, I hope that it comes soon, it will be interesting to see how he alters his celebration.

With Week 4 over now it is time for football news to start up again.
