      Isn't that part of the game though? Does it matter where they get turnovers, how they get turnovers, when the get turnovers?

      It never makes sense to me when somebody says something like that for any sport.

        If not for the fact that the Packers were the only good team the Vikings have faced thus far....

        Please don't give me that rubbish about San Fran. They just started off good and have gone to suck in a heartbeat.

        You guys are dooming yourselves by playing so well. Here's why:

        Favre will perform his usual retirement carousel this offseason and not return to the Vikings regardless. However, Favre will have played so well that Childress will get an extension with the team. Next year, the Vikings, bolstered by the bull headedness of Childress, will once again give the starting QB job to TSuck and, once again, the Vikings will be mediocre at best.

        The good news, though, is that at this pace, the Vikings are sure to win the NFC North hands down and might even make the Title game...

        The bad news, the last time they were good, they choked against the Falcons.

        Take your pick. Childress was one season away from bye bye land and a chance to take what looks to be a great team and refocus it under a coaching staff that knows what it is doing outside of defense.

        This year's team is essentially the same, or very close to it, as last year's team with the exception of Favre. So... by my biased rationale, this year's success so far is directly related to Favre. NOT coaching. So when Favre leaves.... you guys are back to suck. Do you really want to have a team that is THAT reliant upon ONE old media whore primadona?

        Yeah, neg rep me for it. But I'm serious. The Vikings could win the whole darn thing. They better do it this year because Childress isn't good enough to do it without Favre even with AP and that great D he has. He's just not that good of a head coach.

            Eh. The only dumb thing about this is that I posted this in the wrong thread.

            But I meant what I said. It's one thing to have a bad team and known it and still love them (Cubs). It's another thing to have a team that is almost there but the real key towards success isn't being sought after (Vikings). They have a team that seriously is good enough to win the Super Bowl. They just don't have the coaching to do it.

                  • redwing - the Vikings are something like 16-4 their past 20 regular season games. They've won 6, 8, 10 and ?? under Chili. He's not my favorite coach ever, but the team has got better every year. What happens in the off-season and beyond is quite irrelevent so I suggest you stop taking notes from JF and suck it up.

                      Plus Vikings fans were smart enough to see that even though Favre said he wasn't coming back he would still be signed at some point. (my only argument was that Jay Glazer had no idea it was going to happen he was just throwing crap against the wall and hoped it would stick) The retirement fiasco will be no different...we know he is a media whore, we are willing to accept it as long as he produces. Let him flip flop all off season for all we care. We don't have an Aaron Rodgers in the wings that is the future and well we suck in the offseason getting QBs anyways so its a wash

                      And TJack wont be the starter next year, the only reason he has garbage time now is as audition tape for some team that needs a QB next year. If Favre doesn't come back Sage will be the guy, write it down.

                      I hate Chilli, but Slap Shot hit the nail on the head...every year the team has improved under him. Hell I remember Packer fans wetting the bed over how awesome Mike McCarthy was and the only good year he has had was with...oh yeah BRETT FAVRE! I wouldn't go cocking off about coaching after your boy ****ed the bed against Chilli Monday Night ok Chilli took the chance lobbying for Favre and so far it has paid off and if it continues too he deserves to get all the credit just like he would take all the blame if/when Favre craps down his leg.

                          Amazing. I almost completely agree with Handy.

                          TJack is gonna be traded (if because of anything, it's the contract that Sage signed...follow the dollar). Why not give him garbage time in blowouts? As for the Favre signing, I bet a very good friend who is a GB/Favre fan that Favre would sign before the season. Needless to say, I won that bet. The Vikings "sold their soul" for Favre, and it is paying off. The downside is that once Favre actually DOES retire, who's taking his place? There's the payoff for the deal with the devil. Hopefully (for Vikes fans), there's the 5 year rule, where if you make/win the SB, you have five years to absolutely suck with no ridicule that is justified from fans.

                          If they don't make the SB this year, I'm gonna watch the dominoes fall. It won't be pretty.

                            I think you are a bit melodramatic, it all depends on how it plays out. If they make the NFC Title game and have to go to New York and lose I don't think there will be much that will be done or should be done. (if they host the title game and lose that is a different story obviously)

                            And in reality there shouldn't be much fallout if they make it that far anyways. That would still be a major improvement from last year which was the whole point. Lets say Favre retires as long as Sage can be 10% better than TJack I dont think the team collapse or going the crapper next year. It isnt all or nothing no matter how much the fans want to believe it is.

                              I agree. They're all in on this one. Has there ever been a season before where the general consensus is that the Vikings need to make the Super Bowl, or heads would roll?

                                As for bbdl's post, 1998 rings a bell. But overall? Chili has been given all that he's wanted: a stud RB, a (arguably) stud QB, serviceable receivers, and his record has improved every year. If it doesn't happen this year, what more can the franchise do? That is where I think heads will roll. Is it fair? Heck no. Does it happen? Heck yes. See: Mariucci (SF) (IIRC) when he made the playoffs with a marginal team and STILL got fired?

                                If Chili doesn't make the SB, and truthfully they could get blown out 9807538902-0 in the SB, but if they don't make it, it wouldn't matter, he's gone, and TJack is traded, and Favre is gone. They may try to become the new Baltimore Ravens (circa early 2000's) and have a stud RB and stellar defense, and live off of that.
