    They may as well fire Chili now in that case. We all know that even if the Vikings show themselves to be the best team in the league that they'll find a way to lose.

      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.
      I disagree...Denny wasn't fired and they blew a 15-1 season and the homefield in the Title game in historic fashion. He wasnt even fired when they lost 41-0 to the Giants in the title game despite the team being built in his image. Wilf isnt reactionary and if the team makes the title game Chilli will be safe.

        In '98 it seems like the expectations started after the season started, I don't think anyone expected that team to have one of the most prolific offenses in history. This season it seems like the Super Bowl talk started the day BrettFavre was signed.

          I think it's SB. But even the NFC Title game should be the absolute MINIMUM given the expectations of this year, ever before Favre (since they won the div title last year, and are supposed to improve every non-championship year).

          True, but after that preseason (which most folks still think is meaningful), the expectations were HIGH. Hell, they threw a K under the bus for missing ONE FG in the whole season, rather than the team kneeling with more time than most (if not all) their previous scoring drives took to succeed.

            Yeah but the fans dont own the team so they have no say in who the coach is. I agree the fans will go apechit but I just dont buy that its SB or bust with Wilf. We will see but you guys put too much stock in what the idiot masses think, if they mattered at all Chilli would have been fired after year 2.

            Pretty much everyone in the media said NFC Title Game was what was needed for Chilli to stick around and no offense but I will trust Mark Rosen and Company over the likes of you guys. Once again though it is all context, it isnt black and white either way.

              The same can be said for every set of fans not named the Cubs.

              And I think Chili stays unless they crap the bed in the regular season or lose a home playoff game. If that happens all bets are off.

              Yes, the QB position for the Vikings is very much in doubt post 2009, but they're no worse off in that regard (assuming neither TJack nor Sage are legit NFL starters) by signing Favre because they had already decided not to make another move before he agreed to come back. I think that may come back to bite them but who knows what will happen this off-season?

                PA needs to shut up with this "Wall of America" name. It's just an obvious suck up attempt and is absolutely terrible. That's just par for the course with PA though. God does he suck without Dubay.

                    The NFL changes the kickoff time of the November 1st game between the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings at Lambeau Field. It will now start at 3:15 p.m. CT instead of noon.

                    The switch is due to logistical issues involving the Philadelphia Eagles/New York Giants game. It was scheduled to begin at 3:15 p.m., but should the Philadelphia Phillies be in the World Series, the football game was moved to noon.

                      Perhaps, but today was classic. He kept trying to give away some stupid Hall & Oates CD to good callers and no one wanted it. He resorted to trying to give it to people at the beginning of their call, whether they be genius or idiot, and no one wanted it. I'm pretty sure callers were hanging up just so PA couldn't offer them the CD. Absolutely hilarious.

                        Awesome. The only thing worse than PA's taste in music are his takes on baseball.
