I'm not going to talk trash. Especially about a team we will play once, likely twice more this season.
Philly played a lot better than I expected.
I think both of our teams need to get our defenses figured out. It's either that or both of our offenses are just THAT good.
Yeah, that. Far be it for me to compliment anything that any Philly player does, because I HATE the Eagles. Hate 'em. But holy rhinocerous poop, McNabb was on fire. Of course, unfortunately for both Dallas and Philly, you can usually count on both McNabb and Romo pulling at least one bonehead play per game. If certainly happened to both of them on Monday.
Jackson's on the bench! Maybe my Vikings can actually win a game this week!!!
Isn't that just a short-term fix to help Childress keep his job? Ferrotte isn't a long-term solution. Jackson probably isn't either but you know he's gonna get another look at some point. Childress needs to suck it up, let the new guy play through the growing pains and find out what you've got instead of dicking around the Viking fans.

Problem with that^ is that the Vikings aren't a rebuilding team anymore, other than Jackson they are ready to win now, and Jackson isn't taking anyone to the Superbowl this year.

^^^^THIS. The Vikes have EVERYTHING needed, 'cept an at times questionable secondary, to be a contender for sure. I was reading somewhere how it is thought that there is a conspiracy in the NFL to NOT make any decent QB available to the Vikes, for fear of them crushing everyone. IE: Farve, and now Jeff Garcia.

I believe that was common knowledge^ as to why the Packers wouldn't trade to Minnesota. I think what makes their secondary look so bad is the fact that teams go into the game knowing they aren't gonna be able to run the ball.
The Packers refusing to let the Vikings have Favre doesn't necessarily prove the existence of a league-wide conspiracy.
They've got more reason to be wary of the Vikings than your average team. True, the Vikings with a higher-caliber QB would be a force to reckon with. The Packers just have a bigger risk of a resurgent Vikings, and were covering their own asses. I can't see many teams trading away a disgruntled star QB to their next-door division rivals. That's not conspiracy, that's self-interest.
I know Ferrotte isn't in it for the long haul, but I think at this point anybody can do better than Jackson. I don't know what they have to do to win. They have a great team save for QB. We can't win on FGs alone, and everyone's figured out that Peterson guy can run.
The game between the Vikings and Titans this week should be a great one. Both teams mirror each other with great defenses, great running games, avg receivers and avg veteran QBs.
I think the Vikings are slightly better in the D-line and running back but the Titans are better in the secondary and special teams.
I can't wait. Got my tix, got my parking, got my purple.
Any roosters going to the game make a stop at the Vikings tailgating in the Ramada parking lot. I'll be the Viking in charge.
I am very biased for the Vikings but I'm willing to give the Titans the benefit of the doubt. The stats say the Titans are equal or better but they've played much easier teams.
I think the Vikings are better but until they prove it on Sunday, I'll stick with slightly better.
Being President of the Nashville Vikings fan club, I watch both teams every week and they have looked identical. Once again, the Vikings have played better teams but the Titans are more consistent
I repeat, should be a GREAT game.

I was just messing, you bring up a great point in that up to this point if any two teams have mirrored each other the closest it would be the Vikings and Titans IMO. Saying this I would be pretty suprised if the Titans have a good day rushing the football.
I think (hope) the Titans will be shut down for a change but we'll see. Kerry Collins has had some good games against the Vikings (the 41-0 NFC Champoinship game, sadly, comes to mind)
I'd be shocked if the Titans crushed the Vikes. If they win it will be on big plays just like Indy and GB. But the Titans do not have a big play offense. So I see a close one.
If it's lopsided I'd say it's more likely the Vikings breaking out with AP running and the WR's finally catching a few passes instead of dropping everything.
