Vikings Fall, 27-13, To NFC North's Best Team

PrintIt's hard to move the ball offensively when your top three receivers are all on the sidelines wearing street clothes.
It's tough for people to catch passes when they, apparently, don't have any idea what kind of shoes to wear on a wet, natural grass surface in order to not constantly fall on their asses.
It's hard to win football games when your defense decides to let the offense that came into the game as the worst in the NFL on third down. . .23% prior to today. . .convert third downs pretty much at will.
But the NFC North has become a two-team race. . .and, in this race, it's very easy to figure out who to root for, particularly after some little boy/pathetic loser. . .who I know is a Packer fan from various different places I've posted at in the past. . .sent me a nice, friendly e-mail asking if I enjoyed watching "Percy the bitch" get hurt today. There have been other e-mails from other, similar garbage, but that one was pretty much the highlight.
(Seriously, for someone that has the education. . .most likely completely fabricated. . .that this individual claims to have, you'd think they'd be able to come up with something better than "Percy the bitch." Oh, well. . .these are the sorts of things you say when you're stupid, I guess.)
So, in light of today's outcome, I would like to make a sort of endorsement. . .basically, it's time for the enemy of my enemy to become my friend. With that, I will openly be rooting for the Chicago Bears. . .the clear best team in the NFC North at this point, and the team that would win the division if the season ended today. . .to win the NFC North division title.
If our fans can't have a third consecutive division title, I will be pulling for it to go to the group of fans that clearly. . .clearly. . .deserves it the most. Not necessarily the team, because I don't much care for the team, either, to be honest, but the fan base. And I'm certainly not pulling for them to win the Super Bowl or anything. . .just the division. I mean, let's not get crazy here.
More on the game later on, as I'm sure there will be much Brad Childress-related drama to fill our week with shortly.

Ok...
So you root for the Bears because of some idiot Packer fans? I guess I understand.
“The clear best team”? I don’t think so. They are talented, but not “clearly” better than the Packers.
Packers are over-rated, though, that much is very easy to see

That's fine if you believe that
Injuries are taking a toll and the offense is inconsistent, but the defense is doing its job.
the bears are severely more overated than the packers
its not even close

The Bears are a fraud.
Or at least they were. The game today was easily the best one they’ve played all year, so it’s possible they’re getting better, but they were handed two wins they shouldn’t have gotten. The question is whether they can take advantage of it by playing better than the 3-3 record they have since October 1st.

Let's compare
Teams the Packers have beaten. . .
Philadelphia (5-3)
Buffalo (1-8)
Detroit (2-7)
Dallas (2-7 with a coach they had clearly quit on)
Jets (7-2)
Minnesota (3-6)
Teams the Bears have beaten
Detroit (2-7)
Buffalo (1-8)
Dallas (2-7, back when they were starting an NFL QB and actually cared)
Minnesota (3-6)
Green Bay (6-3)
Carolina (1-8)
Exactly what makes the Bears a fraud and the Packers super duper awesome?

Gee, let's see..
.. the records of their opponents seem to speak for themselves, and the Detroit game shouldn’t even be on that list. For me, it’s the Jets and Eagles games vs. the loss GB took at Chicago’s hands. GB played badly 3 weeks running and the Bears caught them in that stretch. They’re playing better now. That’s pretty much it.
Are they “super duper awesome”? (You’re term, not mine, but nice straw man argument.) I dunno yet. But they’re better than they were when they lost to the Bears. The Bears might be too, but I don’t really think so. I just think they matched up with the Vikings pretty well today.

Well, by that token
The Minnesota game shouldn’t be on there for the Packers, either. I won’t rehash the Shiancoe catch that should have been seven more points for Minnesota, but yeah. . .doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. I guess, then, the Dallas game shouldn’t be on there for the Packers, either, since it was clear to anybody that watched that game that that team had given up on their coach and couldn’t have given the proverbial two shits about what was going on on the football field that night.
The fact remains, as I said, that the Vikings have played all three NFC North teams this year. . .
They beat one of them by 14 points. . .that team hasn’t had another loss by more than 8.
One of them beat us by 4, at home, and needed significant “help” to do so.
One of them beat us by 14, and whipped us up one side of the field and down the other.
I’m not really stretching at all. . .it seems you’re just one of many of your fellow fans that simply doesn’t like it when everybody doesn’t just effusively praise your team at every turn. Sorry about that.

Think what you like, I guess.
We have different perspectives on the impact of the calls in the Packer/Viking game, but the call in the Detroit game came so late in the contest that is actually, beyond dispute, decided the game. I don’t scratch off wins in my head all that often, but that one seems to qualify as a fake win, at least in my opinion.
But I acknowledged below that since you’re primary argument appears to be based on how the two teams played against your Vikings I could understand why you thought they way you did, though I attribute that to matchups (and the fact that the Bears beat you by 14 when Moss was gone, Berrian out and Harvin spending the last part of the game on the bench; then there’s the fact that we had 2 healthy defensive linemen for most of the game against your guys, which isn’t the case now, but whatever).
Seriously, I thought you were just being a dick, which is why I found it funny initially. I see there’s a bit more to it now that I’ve heard your argument, even though I still disagree. IF the Bears turn out to be the best team in the division, it’ll have much more to do with how bad the Vikings and Packers are than how good the Bears are.

When barnett was there
when they were pretty healthy minus grant.

That's true.
I thought the Packers beat themselves, personally, but that’s just me.
I am sort of eager to see how you guys fare with the Eagles, Jets, etc.
Just my opinion, but I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if the bears won 2 games the rest of the way. I’ll give them credit for feasting on the weak part of their schedule, something the Packers didn’t do nearly as good of f job with but I don’t think your guys have the horses.
Time will tell.

I'm interested in seeing how the Vikings do in the following games:
@ Philadelphia
@ Washington
vs. NY Giants
None of those are going to be easy.
The Vikings already played the Jets this year.

i totally expect you to say that.
This season Chicago was picked to finish the worst in the division by many. 5-11. 6-10 were the expectations.
This team is 6-3, like it or not thats their record and its one game behind the best record in the conference and it currently is the leading team in the NFC North.
I dont know people doubt the Bears so much. This defense is solid once again, forcing the most turnovers in the league, those change games, and devin hester is back he alone changes the game, he either gets great returns or forces the opposition to kick out of bounds and set up great field postion for cutler and the gang.
What people need to realize is that the Bears realized that to win they need to involve their best overrall reciever who is Greg Olsen, who has a td catch in the past two weeks and this year the bears are 4-0 when he has a td. Earl Bennett is another player who is coming on and is becoming a very relaible threat. That coupled with hester and knox provides a pretty good recieving core.
7 games to go. cant wait.
Once again, Mr. Gates, your a very classy man,

Thank you, sir
Yeah, there may have been a bit of frustration when I made my post. . .it doesn’t change my opinion of the two teams or anything, but if people don’t like my venting, then that’s a them problem, not a me problem.
Hell, the first year I had this site, this team went 6-10, lost 8 of their last 10 games, AND I had to watch the Bears go to the Super Bowl. By God, I vented a LOT that year. . .just that nobody noticed because the only people who were reading were me, my wife, and a couple of my relatives.
Like I’ve said numerous times, I really haven’t changed very much about the way I do things here over the years. . .most folks that have been here for the longer haul realize this.

We have been there too man
how do you think we felt last year? Got Cutler, and week one….week freaking one loser our best player? It felt someone ripped our heart out and stepped all over it. And the denver douchebags reminding us of how orton was doing.(most bear fans including me loved Orton)
We were blown out of the water by so many teams, bengals, cards and even you guys in minnesota. I really wondered if we would be competitive later rather than sooner.
There is potential on your offense. You have the best runningback in the league, harvin is explosive as you can get and rice is another great down field threat. I still wished you guys had kept John David Booty around and seen if he coulda done something.
I hope you guys have something special for those guys coming in on sunday.

They always do.
That’s another reason why I think Gates’ reasoning on why the Bears are better is flawed. The Vikings always played out of their minds against GB even before Favre landed there. GB almost always get their best. The Bears don’t get that kind of response from Minnesota. Never have, as near as I can tell.

The Bears defense is solid, but not unbeatable.
Hester’s barely an average WR, though he does appear to have found his game on returns once again. Knox is a solid guy and Olsen is a very good TE, though his impact is limited by the scheme your utilizing. Cutler’s weak. I know you know that and you’ve acknowledged it above, but it’s a huge deal and to my way of thinking, the significant difference between GB and Chicago. I think the Bears are roughly a .500 team.
They may prove me wrong and finish better than that, but I doubt it. Today was your best win all season outside of the GB game, and you beat and you beat an offensively crippled team that hates its coach and who field a bad defensive backfield. Running down the rest of your schedule, the effort you put out today won’t be good enough against at least 5 of those teams if they play up to their capabilities. Maybe more.

Are you kidding me?
Cutlers weak? A majority of qbs would be on Injured reserve with the line he has. What makes him weak? I never said he was weak he is one of the toughest qbs in the league. More and more i talk to you, sound like a packer fan thats bitter about the week 3 loss and refuses to give the bears credit.
If the bears effort of today is repeated in their next 7 games ill be VERY happy.
27pts by the offense? 4 turnovers forced by the defense? Holding Peterson to fewer yards than our enemic running back? ill take that any day.

He's a weak QB.
I didn’t mean to question his toughness, just his brain. Sorry I wasn’t clear, though I think you deliberately took it a different way to give yourself an easy response. He’s Favre with less talent and leadership ability. Hit him and he’ll chuck picks and lose his team games. Half the time he chucks picks even when he doesn’t get hit. Am I bitter about the week 3 loss? Depends what you mean. I thought GB beat themselves and shouldn’t have lost, but I’m not suggesting the refs handed them the game or anything like that. I’m just not all that impressed, that’s all. Is it possible I’m wrong and they’re the better team? Sure. But they’ve put up some weak performances this year even in wins and until they string some solid performances in a row, I’m not convinced. They played well today, but Minnesota has a weak secondary and their pass rush has been only sporadically effective this year, and the Vikings had no chance of keeping up offensively, not because the Bears were so dominating, but because the Vikings were playing with one hand tied behind their backs due to their crippled passing game. Hell, I’m no Favre defender, but two of the turnovers you’re crowing about only happened because the receiver he was throwing to was wearing the wrong cleats. The Bears played well today, but they’re going to run into a lot bigger challenges the next seven weeks than a home game against a fractured Viking squad.

But the Bears are definitely the lesser of two evils, by a mile. Can’t imagine EVER cheering for the Fudge-Packers.
Still rooting for the Vikes unless they lose next week. There IS still a small chance that things can turn-around.

Good for you. I’m going to at least watch the next game and see how it goes. Once they have no chance at the Playoffs, I’ll probably take off for the year. Too painful to watch and no real point if we can’t make the playoffs, anyway. Sigh.
not rooting for anyone yet
a couple years ago we were real close to coming back for 3-6. Weren’t we in a win and you’re in situation with the redskins? anyone remember that?
I remember an important game against the Redskins a few years back. But we laid down and ended up missing, I believe.

Hmm
I can’t help but think, w/ Rice sitting out still, and BB on the sidelines in street clothes, we were short in depth on receivers.. Does this point to a mistake of letting Moss go?? Really, most people here can’t deny that he would not of helped.. Could of given Harvin a better explosive game.
Special teams – F
Defensive Secondary – C- (Would be worse, but Abdullah had two Interceptions)
Defensive LB – B made some great plays
Defensive line – we got some pressure on Cutler, pushing him out of the pocket, but you need speed to get after a QB who drops back like 15 steps… so they get a C
Offensive Line – B I didn’t see Favre getting beat up too much
AP – average
Gerhart – better, much better.
Receiving core – D, but lack of depth help push that grade down
There slips gave Favre interceptions
Favre – (B-) Because his ability to try to keep a play alive also hurts him (via intentional groundings)
Longwell – A- (Sucks about that post hitting FG)
Kluwe – A – but it sucks w/ the other part of the special teams where they couldn’t stop hester
Neways, it’s a team sport and they gotta play together
Could we see Childress let go? We find out Monday……
If he is here Tuesday, he’s here for the next game.
What. The. Fuck?
I refuse to root for any other team as my number one option other than the VIkings. I will quit watching football before I root for another team, much less the Bears! The Bears, Packers, and Cowboys are three teams you never root for. Under NO circumstances at all.
I am a Viking fan till death do us part, and I will let a monkey shave my balls before I EVER root for another team ahead of the Vikings. I cant believe people are seriously doing this.

Bears will win the division, although they will go one and done in the play-offs. I on the other hand am rooting for our team to go winless the rest of the way. Reason? A certain QB out of Stanford named Luck. Possibly drafting a Franchise QB finally. We need a lot of things but the most pressing position is right there at QB. Oh yeah, lets build a goddamnd stadium and lets keep the roof off this time. Im tired of rooting for a puss dome team that has no fucking idea how to play outside. Fire Childress right now!!!!

Got To Agree Re. The Twins
The Twins earned a lot of goodwill with those two World Series victories, but they are getting awful small in the rearview mirror.
After the most recent annual French-Army-In-The-Spring-Of-1940 playoff performance against the Yankees, I sense that a corner has been turned for Twins fans: the glow of 1987 and 1991 is no longer enough to make us overlook Gardenhire’s utter inability to win a playoff series.

Blow it up and start from scratch--Retire Favre, Waive Chilly
This season is a lost cause—blow it up now and start from scratch.
Fire Childress now.
Retire Favre. A few weeks ago as the season obviously went off-track I angrily wondered if Favre would just ride off in to the sunset and leave the team mid-season. At the time, with the possibility of salvaging the season, I would have pummelled Favre for walking out.
Now, this season is finished; there will be no playoff berth, much less a Super Bowl. It is best if Favre leave with Childress, preferably later today.
I would take no joy in Favre retiring right now, unlike the joy I will feel when Chilly is fired, but there really is no reason for Favre to ride this thing out.
I know this won’t happen; Favre will stick it out to the end because he is a competitor, and good for him. But really, doing so will serve no purpose.

Chicago now Favre's Kryptonite?
Farve used to OWN the Bears. Just owned them. And then a few years ago things changed especially in Soldier Field. The wind certainly played a role.
I really give the Vikes credit for coping with AP. Some of that is having a lead but still a good job.
I miss the days of the early 70s teams.....
at least they played with heart, had a coach who was tremendously respected, and earned the few thousand bucks they made per game. They played each game from START to finish. Was it me or did it look like Berrian was yukking it up on the sideline near the end, as if he couldn’t care less about the outcome? Disgusting, if true.
Will always root for the Vikes

My grandmother could call a better game
Please, for the love of Ragnar someone fire Chilly and let someone with a clue call plays. I spent half the game yelling at the TV and predicting the play 10 seconds before the snap.
Ditto
Good, I thought I was the only one doing that. My girlfriend thought I was smart until she saw how easy it is to predict the play calling of someone as brainless of Childress. I think my dog even called some of the plays before they were run.
favre
is in this till the end. sucks today that 2 of the 4 turnovers weren’t his fault. heck even the interception to harvin was more on the left tackle than favre.
The only other way for this team.....
to fk with our heads more would be to run off 4-5 wins in a row. I wouldn’t bet against it.

Now that we are pretty much out of it i am hoping we lose the rest.WHY? you ask
1.Childress gets fired.
2.We can draft our Q.B. of the future.
3.Get busy replacing some of these over the hill players.
4.Lets face it the team peaked last season and now its time to rebuild.
Agreed but I'll amend #4 to retooling rather than a full rebuild.
There’s still a lot of young talent on this team but we need to answer the future QB question and continue rebuilding the offensive line.

True
Right now we do not have the players needed in key positions nor the luck to win. Injuries are getting ridiculous. I am not a Chilly fan but he does not have many tools to work with. Even the “star” players seem to be under performing. I think JA’s should have maned up and told his wife to stuff if with the mullet chopping crap.
What puzzles me...
Is that the defensive line went downhill overnight. It’s like someone flipped a switch.
Throw shit...
Attract flies.
Drawing attention to them is akin to writing incrementally large ‘kick-me’ notes and sticking them all over yourself.

But I love this site...
Because minus the occasional bear-baiting (Packer-baiting?) it’s the best damn Vikings site on the internet!
The entire writing staff here are capable of putting out some of the most insightful, funny and interesting Vikings related articles on the net, which is why I’m disappointed when I see posts goading another teams fans, regardless of who it is. Every team in the league has got its share of both classy fans and its proverbial village idiots. No doubt there’s the odd Viking fan mouthing off across the net right now about how we’re still the best team in the NFC and how Jay Cutler couldn’t even pass wind let alone a decent deep ball.
Regardless of the lack of quality of these posts the simple truth is as I stated, that the more you draw attention to these people the more they will hassle you (and in turn, us). Each inflammatory retort, be it here, via email or on Twitter, will only encourage other douchebag fans to get on your case each week. Vitriol acts as quicksand on the internet.
In pragmatic terms, it just ‘aint worth it. Blacklist the offending email accounts so that their incoming emails are diverted and don’t make your day any more difficult by even being tempted to read them. I suspect you, like me, are suffering enough from today’s game without needing the additional kick in the balls that a piece of hate-mail will dish-up.
So, in conclusion, don’t take my post personally, as I said I love and respect the work and effort that you guys (and girl) put in on this site – it’s a place I visit daily. Just try and make your life easier and don’t let the bastards get you down. :)

Any QB,
will pick U apart if they are allowed to stand and wait for a wr to come open.. Rarely were we blitzing. Frazier is getting almost as bad as Chilly. And it is not just this game. has been going on most of this year..
Ya....
I’m not sure that Frazier is the answer for head coach.
agree
Defense has not improved. Bevell is Chilli II. HIRE TONY DUNGY instant respect for the franchise and he will move team forward with his smarts and straight forwards approach. IF you get him now he will have a chance to evaluate players and coaches before making decisions. === Life long fan
Tony Dungy...
now that would be sweet, and would help alot towards a stadium push.
A non-starter....
he said NO already, but, then again, maybe he does not want to pull a Joe Torre and say yes while there is still a coach in place.
Well...
he said no to the gophers job, not so sure about the NFL.
Yup...
all for it here to. Zygi has to step up and dump chilly now, let Bevell AND Favre run the offense from here on out. It’s a lost season, time for changes.
And...
I will only cheer for my vikes and no one else!

I am not sure either; however, I believe we all know Childress is not. I say give him a test run with the remaining games and see how the team responds.

Having said that, being an NFC North fan, I will probably pull for whoever makes the playoffs in the NFC North to go all the way. I won’t have the passion that I have for the Vikes, but I may enjoy watching the games. It only makes the Vikings look better if the North proves to be a tough division.
I just took my Rodger loving wife out last night for her “Green Bay victory dinner” for the first Viking – Packer match up of the season. I’m hoping she’ll be taking me out after next Sunday.

Agree with the inspired Dallas comment
Perhaps MN should take a look at how the Cowboys are playing right now. 1-7 record and they are playing with new life, with a new Head Coach. Apparently it is never too late to make a change, even if they are only playing for pride at this point. What are the possiblities of waking up to a “Childress Fired” headline tomorrow?
Curtis Shields (me)
hopes he saw the final Minnesota Vikings game under coach Brad Childress today,if the Cowboys can play great under a new coach,he knows the Vikings can.
I don't know that the Cowboys are playing great....
They are just not making the dumb penalties and turnovers, plus the Giants have not played with confidence or aggression.

As if the Giants are playing the Cowboys based on their 1-7 record as opposed to playing them as a football team.

Chilly's worst decision this year was his first...
….converting Joe Webb from WR to QB. Boy, we sure could have used him most of the year.
Doesn't matter
To get to 9-7 the Vikings would need to go 6-1 against the Packers, Redskins, Bills, Giants, Bears, Eagles, and Lions. I don’t think that will happen.
It's possible
W – Packers, Redskins and Bills – get some momentum.
W – Giants, collapsing as usual in the second half
W – Bears here. No problem
L – Eagles
W – Lions to close the season
Win the tiebreaker with the Giants for wild card.
And then we get to keep Chilly for another year…
You're right Cali
Best to take one game at a time at this rate. We can still split with the Bears and Pack – both home games thank god-
Playoffs
C’mon, this team is going no where as long a Childress is in control. I posted last week after the Cardinals game that the win was Fool’s Gold. The best thing that could have happened last week would have been for the team to lose that game against the Cardinals so that Childress would be gone.
Now, the team is stuck with him for the rest of the season. This season is over. Too many mistakes made and the best thing that could be done now is to get rid of Childress and move on.

Time to start over.
Make sure Percy and Sidney are fully ready to go before playing them. Those guys are too valuable for next year to let them get hurt in a losing campaign.
As for Packers vs. Bears, every team has idiot fans. I couldn’t care less which team takes the division. I personally don’t think that either of those two teams is going to be good enough vs. the Giants, Saints, or Falcons. Those are the best NFC teams, in my opinion.
by HammeroftheGods on Nov 14, 2010 8:29 PM CST reply actions
I agree
In my opinion, it can only get worst from here. Remember Tice’s last year, the team lost Culpepper, everyone thought it was over and Brad Johnson rallied the team. That team played for Tice because they related to Tice. They almost made the playoffs with a 9-7 record but Ziggy fired him for the team not living up to expectations.
Now, contrast that team to this one, the players do not respect nor trust Childress according to reports earlier this week. You can dismiss the reports but like the old saying where there is fire there is smoke. I think there is some truth in these reports. I would hope that Wilf would pull the plug but I doubt if the will. I figure he will wait until the end of the season. However, if he was smart, he would pull the plug and let Frazier have a shot. If Frazier provided a spark, then, the team would have hope and something to build upon as it is, they do not.
The move that Childress made with Moss is going to result in his undoing. Like him or not, he was opening up the defenses for Harvin and Peterson to be effective. Today, the Bears concentrated on them and once Harvin went down, it was over. All the Bears had to do was key on Peterson.
Anyway, I do not see it getting much better from here on in. Wish I was wrong but I think it will just get worst from here on out.

You forgot to mention
It’s also hard to win when your special teams give up 28 yards per kickoff return and over 10 yards per punt return. It seems like more than a coincidence that 20 of their points came on drives STARTING IN MINNESOTA TERRITORY. Worst special teams play since 2008 (except Kluwe, who is the only player not named Peterson that is deserving of a Pro Bowl selection at this point).
Also, we had 4 turnovers.
Mighty Mouse deserves a Pro Bowl
Antoine is one of the most intelligent, hard working players on the field for any team. Without him our secondary would be a disaster, instead of horribly mediocre.
Thank you, Chris, for providing a forum for vikings fans (and even non-vikings fans), during tough times like the vikes are going through now.
It’s not easy being a vikings fan right now, but I guess that’s part of being a real fan of a team you love (even when they are driving you crazy!).
Not going there.
This reads as a bit of a sour-grapes fan-post instead of an actual entry. No offense homie, I understand how you feel and how the emails get to you, but need to grow some thicker skin. Public posts like this just prove that they get to you. Let it slide, man.
Look, this Vikings team has been a mess from the get-go this season. The expectation of a run like last season seemed reasonable given the talent, but those types of seasons are so few and far between, it’s not very realistic I guess. It’s a tough pill to swallow for all us Purple fans.
The part that is going to make this season miserable from here on out, is that unless Favre announces his retirement, which won’t happen, anything from here on out is not going to set us up for the future. Unless Tjack or Webb take over at QB, we’re not building for anything positive. We’re stuck in a holding pattern until the season ends, and I’m just afraid that the team is going to mail it in like the Cowboys and just cry uncle.
The only possible thing that could happen now to appease some fans is the firing of Childress, and while it might be warranted for a multitude of reasons it is not going to change anything this year. I don’t have the blind hatred for Childress that many fans do, for the fact that we improved under him every season until this one. I do think many of his decisions have set this franchise back though, and a change of leadership might be in order for next year.
I’m just so disappointed in this team, the lack of leadership and the constant drama. Most of it has been self imposed. I’m not going to bash the Packers or Bears and their fans though. They flat out have better teams right now. We have to swallow that and show some class. It’s easy to be humble when you’re winning, but it shows character to maintain it when times are rough.
