Around SBN: Miikka Kiprusoff Wins 300th Game, Buffalo Crushes Boston

After

Favre rides his lawnmower into the Sunset,what does this team have going for it.We have 4 more years of Chilly,no real set plan at Q.B, a Twin City counsel trying to force the Vikes into a 2 year extension on the Metro-dump.A declining run Def. iffy pass Def,maybe a few Cordinators going to be H.C.for other teams.

Our front line Off. players are choking the Chicken when it comes to opening holes for A.D. or C.T . used to be wide gaps,now there isnt that push to make a path.Put A.D. and Harvin in backfield,split one to the right other to the left,set up a nice screen,in either of these players it can go to the house at anytime.Takes teams stacking against the run cause now they gotta play both sides,run Berrian deep,put Shank into the flats,Rice into the middle.

Dont get me wrong,love me some Vikes, more so when they winning, but been down this road before,in fact more times then I wish.Other day my Wife asked me why I hadnt been Yelling at the T.V. or Throwing Purple socks, been too calm on game day. I said Favre Q.B.ing and as long as he doesnt go gunslinger we always be in the game,her having Wiscousin ties said the obvious.Which got me thinking mmmm.

What would our Season be like without Favre,is Chillys K.O.A. so intense it takes a 20 year Vet to run it.Is A.D. s run decline due to dropping back and guarding Favre from unneedless hits.How many more Def. Delay of Game are we going rack up this year,and why so many as can remember 2 in in 30 year span and we got 3 this year alone.

What will it take for us to be contenders for the next 5 years.GB. has a nice start in Rogers,say what ya will about him, but the kid has some moxie and if they ever get a front line he will do damage very much like Favre did for them if he survives the next 2 seasons.Cutler needs some players to throw to,and if doesnt open his mouth will be a force to be reckoned with.Stafford, I like this kid,has moxie,balls,takes a hit and lets bad plays watershed,they ever get half a brain in charge and Detroit will be a contender in 2 years.

I really feel for the Pack fans,their Head Office made a diffcult choice,go with Favre and lose Rodgers which would have benifited us for years to come,or trade Favre and benifit us 2 years max.I think they made a great choice in keeping Rogers,though I can feel the pain of Losing Favre.Hopefully, when his career is done,they Welcome him into their all time greats,that they forget he wore Purple and Remember him for who he was.A player that gave his all to a team and choose not to retire again and againand again and prolly again again lol.

Should I hang myself right now....

Or after the SB W? Kind of a negative/positive/not sure post here…..

But I will take the positive and disregard the negative chalking it up to that affliction all of us long time Viking fans have: Yes they are winning now BUT…..let’s not get toooooo happy….we all know what happens when we do that!

Been there done that, and still will watch them week to week….and this year is a LOT more fun than some I have waded through! YEAH!

SKOL!!

; )

I would rather be IN the Arena than watching from the stands...That is my life!

The Vikings

have shown that they needed to address the pass rush, they did. When they needed to address special teams, they did. When they had to address the Quarterback position, they did. I would like to think that when Brett Favre retires, they will address that need at the proper time.

The QB Question

It really hasn’t changed, it’s just been delayed. We don’t have a solid answer for it yet, and thankfully we have Favre to fill the gap until we do figure it out. If there’s no franchise quality young QBs available, well…. there’s no franchise quality young QBs available. What do you want, for Chilly to pull one out of his patootie?

Be patient, have some faith; we have Favre in place for this year and next, and hopefully that gives us some time to find a young gunslinger of our own, someone who can go up against the future Rodgers, Cutler, and Stafford. The draft is looking to be a rich one in QBs for the next couple years, and we have one of the best back-up QB depths in the NFL with T-Jack and Rosenfels.

In the meantime, lighten up and have some fun with this team, it’s a great one :)

Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!
SKOL!

Quarterback issue wll be resolved

Most coaches that select a QB as high draft choice (Tarvaris) and fail don’t get a contract extension. I have to believe that management believes in this offensive strategy. Either the management believes that Travaris is still a good QB in the making or they have a plan to replace Farve by drafting or Free Agency. So far you have to trust the management. Good job the last three years.

The issues you raise about the offense probably stems from the fact that we have a new center and rookie right tackle more than anything else. I personally believe everything looks so much better than at the start of the season.
If this team keeps improving and injuries don’t beset them they will go far.

Do you need reminded they are 8-1 and no losses in the division. Skoal
