PrintCouple more bullet points for a way-too-long week:
- Don't expect Leslie Frazier to comment on his coaching future while the Vikings are still around in the playoffs: "There will be a time to talk about what happened a week ago, but I don't necessarily know that this is maybe the most appropriate time. But there will be a time." [Associated Press]
- Frazier has interviewed for head coaching positions with the Seahawks and Bills, and while he was simply a Rooney Rule guy for Seattle, there has been a general feeling that Frazier is well-positioned for the Bills job. However, Mike Florio suggests otherwise, as a league source tells him that the Bills are looking for an offensive specialist to become their next head coach. [Pro Football Talk]
- Visanthe Shiancoe -- or vshiancoe as those of us on Twitter know him -- won the Korey Stringer Good Guy Award from the Twin Cities media for his accessibility to reporters and giving them good stuff for the morning papers. Such as the quadratic formula (hit the link). [Access Vikings]
- Favre: "Honestly, I see us sitting here next week having this press conference again. If that doesn't happen, to me it will be a shock." Dallas safety Gerald Sensabaugh: "We'd have to beat ourselves to lose. The way we're playing right now, I don't think we can be beat.'' [Pro Football Talk]
- As noted in the FanPosts, Mike Tice is interviewing with the Bears for an offensive coaching position. The Lovable Lug back in the NFC North? Yes, please. [ChicagoBears.com]
- The FanPosts have also noted that the officiating crew for Vikings-Cowboys is a penalty-happy bunch. Walt Anderson's officiating crew flagged the Vikings for 13 penalties in a game earlier this season, and no other crew assessed 200 penalties this season. [Access Vikings]

i just can't wait to beat these sallies
and be done with all the BS this week
I piss people off on a fairly regular basis. I cherish my right to speak my mind, whether I sound like an uneducated savage or not. I've never been accused of keeping what I think a secret, nor will I ever. Don't like it? I don't care.
trust me the BS will continue after this week...
Regardless of weather we win or lose. The Cowboys fans will probably still be here either talking crap about there win, or why we “shouldn’t” have won that game. They’re still on the Eagles blogs, and its almost 1 week after the game.
They’re like little leeches.
Right
If we win, we will be anointed the best team in the NFL. “The Vikings can’t lose. They can start mapping out the parade route.” Blah blah blah.
If we lose, I would be very surprised. Everyone will talk about how great the Cowboys are and how terrible the Vikings are, even though both teams are good-to-great.
It’s a game. The Vikings have to earn the win to get the win. Win or lose, come Monday, we do what’s next.

My Cowboy fan impression....as a Vikings fan
One of two options will happen on Sunday.
The Vikings will either win, or the Vikings will beat themselves.
they beat us a month ago
and they are still on csc

WTF?
“We’d have to beat ourselves….” ???!!!
DAMN! Do they have ANY idea where they are headed & who they are playing on Sunday???!! This is unbelievable.
Like our Vikes are a bunch of scrubs. Talk about buying in to your own BS!! Amazing.
Over under
On number of posts it takes a Cowboy fan to come in here and in some way tell us we should be afraid. I am effing sick of them! I don’t care if you are respectful or not on here. EVERY. SINGLE. POST!!! It’s like that nerdy kid in college whos ’’ok’’ to hang with from time to time, he doesn’t mean any harm. But when you want just a select few of your closest friends to bullshit with, hes the 1st guy to knock on your door and try to debate you about it. YES COWBOY FANS. I AM TALKING ABOUT YOU. YOU ARE FREAKING ANNOYING!

Yeah
I started going over there a little bit. It’s pretty hard to stop myself from popping off at them. I’m so sick of people saying stuff about Bryant McKinnie and Phil Loadholt. I’m sick of people trash-talking our secondary, Brett Favre, Adrian Peterson, Brad Childress, everybody.

i understand that
cowboys and their fans are full of bluster and posturing and whatnot, but seriously. we are on OUR own site, and we aren’t doing the “THE VIKINGS ARE GONNA KICK ASS!!!! THERE IS NO WAY THE COWBOYS STAND A CHANCE IN HELL” stuff…. much less doing that over in their house…. then theirs the guys that say ‘i just want to have a conersation about football and the x’s and o’s’ then when you tell them your opinion, they scoff and say that we’re wrong and that our o-line stands no chance against their amazing pass rush. so now, even the ones that were cool are getting bad in that their argument isn’t swaying us so their getting more upset and uncontrollable.

long week
Every day feels like three days worth of waiting. I wish this game could go right now. I love that Chester Taylor threw a snowball at the ESPN reporter. I think the world of Chester Taylor. I think if I were a Viking, I would drink some herbal tea and relax. Just kick back and relax because game day is Sunday, not today or tomorrow or Saturday.
As a fan, though, I feel like I have this duty to go around defending the Vikings all the time. It’s probably not worth spit, but at least I’m doing something, insignficant or not, to help the Vikings.

Finally, some respect!
From Tim Layden, CNNSi -
The Cowboys are the trendy pick to rise from wild-card round winner to Super Bowl champion. There’s that pass rush, there’s Tony Romo looking like he’s matured into a first-rate NFL quarterback not just before Thanksgiving, but afterward as well. Miles Austin and Felix Jones are game-breakers. But there’s something about Favre and the Vikings and playing at home in the very noisy Metrodome. You can make the argument that the bye week often hurts teams by letting them get rusty; I think it will work the other way for the Vikings. Watch Favre work the short passing game and give the ball to Adrian Peterson on a lot of first downs to slow the pass rush. And watch Jared Allen get to Romo. Vikings 31, Cowboys 29
At least one guy in Dallas a some common sense
“football law states that the more people support one team on the road in a playoff game, the more likely it is that the team everyone adores will be blindsided.” Full article here:

"Skol Vikings! Let's win this game Skol Vikings! Honor your name. Go get that first down Then get a touchdown Rock 'em, sock 'em, FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT! FIGHT! Go Vikings, run out the score, you'll hear us yell for more! V-I-K-I-N-G-S Skol Vikings, let's go!"
Should say "... has some common sense"

A Prayer
Our Favrether, who art in Mississippi, hallowed be thy name. Thy bowl will come, it will be won, In Miami as it is in the Dome. Give us this Sunday, our weekly win. Give us touchdown passes, but do not let others pass against us. Lead us not into frustration, but deliver us to the Super Bowl. For thine is the MVP, the ……best of the NFC and the glory of the Purple People Eaters now and forever. Amen.
