Today’s inactives
October 12th, 2008 – 10:52 AM by Chip ScogginsThe Vikings just announced their inactives for today’s game. They are: wide receiver Sidney Rice, safety Madieu Williams, fullback Thomas Tapeh, offensive tackle Drew Radovich, offensive tackle Marcus Johnson, fullback Jeff Dugan and defensive tackle Letroy Guion. John David Booty is the No. 3 quarterback.
Rice has now missed three of the last four games after suffering a sprained PCL in his right knee. He was listed as questionable.
This is the fourth straight game Tapeh has been inactive. Dugan played last week for the first time but he is inactive again.
Cornerback Benny Sapp is back after being inactive last week.
Linebacker Erin Henderson was questionable after suffering a concussion last week but is able to play.
Williams was listed as doubtful this week as he works his way back from a neck injury.
Detroit’s key inactives are: quarterback Jon Kitna. Dan Orlovsky will get the start in his place.
Right guard Stephen Peterman (hand) is out and will be replaced by Manny Ramirez. On defense, cornerback Travis Fisher (knee) will be replaced by Brian Kelly.

Bones says, “GunslingerCA = idiot. Go buy “Football for Dummies” and learn something about the sport.”
This is coming from the same moron who keeps defending the Fake Buster!
Bones, go buy “Bloggers for Dummies” and see if your picture is posted in it.
Bones = Berrian “Revisionist History” fraud.
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW!!!!!
Gawd, the Lions are awful. Just AWFUL! Kitna is out so the Vikes better win by 15 points plus.
However, if they somehow manage to lose this game, Childress should be escorted off the field and straight to the airport……And let the Leslie Frasier era begin.
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW!!!!!
he should be escorted out of the damn state if he doesn’t win by more than a td…this Lions team is absolutely terrible
Orvlosky=D.O.A. after Vikings mauling.Vikings 24-10.
Retsub-Come to the light. now.
Predictions?
My thoughts are 31-16…
RagnaroK, that score should be spot on.
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW!!!!!
I’d say 28-10, vikes.
Anybody else thinks it cuold do some good for the Vikes to look at trading for Tony G?
No on Tony Gonzalez, too much for the vikes to give up after last offseason, they are old in some positions and cant afford to go another season without higher round draft picks…
Shainco knows how to get open, if he starts catching the ball,were set at TE. That, or sign a FA next year. Gonzo at anything more than a late 4th is too expensive.
I think he’s worlds better than Shiancoe. He’s older, yeah, but there’s still three years left on his contract, which is not a real expensive contract.
According to PFT, the Chiefs are asking a 2nd and 5th, but willing to go lower. I think a 3rd a 7th is worth it, especially if the Pack and Giants keep sniffing around him.
[…] Sidney Rice’s second season in the NFL is turning into a disaster. He’s inactive again this week, the third time in six games he has failed to make it onto the field. The Vikings will dress four receivers for today’s game, and one of them, Robert Ferguson, is basically a special teams guy. Only a Brad Childress team would be happy to go into each game with three viable wide receiver options. […]
let the play charting begin…
Berrian’s best plays this year have been drawing interference.
1st series, Feroooch missed two open receivers..
Come on Gus!
I think Wade dropped that one, didn’t he?
say it ain’t so joe…that wasn’t a drop my friends
Score prediction. 3-0 overtime.
Fred thinks Carissa what’s her name is hot, really hots
I wonder if King Childress has ever heard about a run to the outside.
This offense stinks and Fred wants more sideline reportings.
I think gordon just blew a knee…
Fred doesn’t wish harms on Gordon, but maybe we’ll get to see Clarissa if she tells us about Gordon’s knees
Freds would like to fist fight dr. house
How many sacks is that on Gus now??????…..frickin’ O-Line can’t pass protect fer nuttin’!! WTF????
Gus can’t be taking a beatin’ like this.
What a putz Orshanky is
Ragnar….Gordon must be a fast healers!
Can anyone that has the game on their TV tell me why Gus keeps getting sacked?
friggin block somebody,
Now Chili, do you see whats happening yet? Passing game not working because of poor pass protection, start running more… 14 passes to 9 runs is not the Viking blueprint for winning
Fred didn’t realize Herman Munster did colors for fox
4 SACKS!!! WTF!!! somebody make it stop. Were gettin embarrassed. Freds- that was funny.
The O-Line is gettin’ beat by only 4 down line men…Go Figure. The o-Line don’t wanna play today.
Now I know why they’re not going to sign Matt Birk!!
You are corrects Idles…the Vikes have one good offensive line mans…one
This is a most embarassing game to watch….two of the most inept football teams in the NFL. What a frickin’ joke!!!
Chilli must get fired…because a change now can’t be any worse with him in there…right???? Sheeshhhhh
Feroooooooooccccccccchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Talk about a F@#$ing embarrassment!!!
Freds is a PC
Seriously, all you can master against the Lions at home is a 2-0 lead into the 2nd quarter? Wow, Chilly you are getting worse as the season goes
Vinny Ahchoo is now starting in the middle?
Holy cows
Offensively they need to get rid of the zone blocking scheme and just play smash mouth football.
Also, it may help to call a slant or two when there are eight men in the box coming at you
I go out for my smoke break while the Viking Offense is on the field…The Defense is much more fun to watch……
pehaps the most frustratings part of this game is the facts that we have a red hots side line reporter and they aren’t showing Clarrisas….
4 Evers,
before you go, can you runs to the store and pick up more Colt45 for your old pal Fred?
i think the first ever 2-0 NFL game is happening before our eyes…
pathetic
nice to see the KAO is moving the ball today against the poor/pathetic Lions D
Atrocious play calling. Seriously, pick it up
Boo Birds? Boo Birds?? They are lucky that the fans are not throwing poo.
We have the Troy Williamson curse
Only one word sums up this offensive powerhouse exhibition: Pathetic
Hi Mattys
If receivers continue to drop passes, then instead of a curse, does it mean the receivers coach does not know to teach catching?
Did you see the skulls on that kicker?
hi Fragiles…enjoying the game?? it’s a barn burner!!
Skol!!! Vikes!!!
How are we supposed to ever watch this team again if they lose?
Freds has a solution…put Tjax back in, let him do a 5 step drop, then run like a mad mans…when he gets injured put Feroooch back in..
Let’s make TJ a receiver, use the single wing formation, and snap directly to TJ. That should completely confuse the Lions and TJ can then lateral to Peterson.
Where are all the Gus supporters?…..sheeeeeeesh
3rd and 2 and they yet again take a shot downfield…
I’ve always wanted to throw T-Jacks uniform on Chili and let him play QB.
The Play you ask? Everyone fall on one.
I’ll help the crowd. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOO
Look at the look on coach Baldeenees face!!!
Give someone else the play calling duties because you suck Childress.
Also isn’t it neat that one of our “big” signings was Tapeh and he hasn’t played one bit? Nice Job Vikes!
KAO must sees somethings in Cowardly lions Defense to want to take shots down field instead of handing ball off to most dangerous man in Vikings Backfield(no, not TJAX)
I think Bleed Purples should be our O coordinator.
Freds would like to fist fight Obama.
worst offensive scheme, worst game planning, and worst play calling EVER aaaiiigggghhhh!
*runs screaming from the room*
Sayyy, if the Vikings can actually play like they are not coached by Colonel Klink, then da Bares are currently losing to Atlanta. What about a logjam at 3-3??? It could work, yeah, really it could.
Freds…I got yer Colt in the Fridge….. I drank one on the way back…..
What did I miss????
Are you f_____g kidding me? Gee man, we get our hopes up just to be brought back to reality big time. Even if we win, what a joke of an offense, if we loose, the boos and Ziggy will come down hard… I hope.
I humbly accept the job of offensive coordinator. Will Zygi allow me to tell the veteran QB to call audibles as the kitties defense alignment dictates? Also, do I have complete authority to use more than the first two pages of the play book (aka MY play book)?
Oh my Gawd! WTF!!!! WTF!!!
Folks, this is supposed to be a 15 point plus victory. We’re losing to the worst team in football and our offense has done NOTHING!
This is F’N embarrassing!!!!!
Someone escort Childress and his offensive schemes to the airport NOW!!!
NOW!!!
Man, this offense kicks ass!
Man, this offense kicks a$$!
Thanks my old pal 4evers for the 45s. Things you missed:
1) Kluwe kicked out of bounds 4 times
2) Matt Birk came up with a new menu for his resturants
3) Gus Ferooch missed 3 more open receivers
4) Igor Oloshofsky looks like a Junior High passer.
5)No more shots of Clarissa the hottie.
Yawns.
we trail 3-2.
3-2.
last week Kyle (Who dat?) Orton had a career day against these clowns. The Bears - who, you know, s*ck - crushed them.
we trail 3-2.
i hesitate to ask, but can it get much lower?
Glad to see Skip and Judge are blogging here, keep it up boys!!
Okay it’s only 3-2 in the middle of the fifth. Minnesota hitters need to see the ball better so they can hit it.
Umpires, please toss the manager and let the pitching coach take over.
Freds - you and me fist fights over Clarrissa the hottie.
Busters, where is your mom? I enjoy her insights. Tell that nice old lady to join us here in the blogs.
now the KAO is really going to take off…they were just gearing up for the second have guys…thats all, the offense is perform like the KAO they are, 400yds and 35pts this half!! write it down
Don’t forget with Zygi watching from the box, there is no way he can be pleased with this “offensive scheme”. Someone has been sipping too much of something to seriously believe that the offense is creative (aka the flabbergasted head coach we have). What should really happen to maximize the exorbitant salary to Colonel Klink is to keep him on as a punter consultant. That way he can maximize his punter evaluations time every day of the year. Wouldn’t it have been meaningful time spent making an offensive game plan on a short week!!!!!????
Them’s fightin words my old friend Stugels. Your ons!!!
Fred never said she was smarts, just hot
right she should be seen and not heard freds
Lest we forget, no wins equals no new stadium for Colonel Klink to lose in. I would think that would be a motivating factor on Vikings ownership to pull the Klink plug sooner instead of later. If Orton can throw for a career day, then what is the problem with the Vikings? It is not from lack of talent. Could it be lack of coaching leadership and motivation? Maybe the players are committing mutiny to make a statement when favored to win by 13 1/2?
Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch. I feel ill. I volunteer to drive Childress to the state line and push him out. Which state do you think would take him? I may have drive all the way to Canada. Wilf, please wake up to the fact that the only thing Childress’ offensive has kicked has been your…….
I wonder if Wilf will have another no comment meeting with Childress after this embarrassment?
Bleed purples, excellent points, howevers, there isn’t much talent on offense, let’s be honest my old pal
so the O-line has given up 4 sacks in a half, can’t open any holes for AD, and the defense has given up two huge plays and is dropping like a rock from the heights of the rushing defense standings.
anyone else think it looks like Chili has lost his team? (and that takes some doing coming off of an upset win and playing at home!)
I love making rookies look good. I think we’ve made every rookie we’ve ever played against look like Tom Brady.
The again, the KAO has produced a whooping 2 points — and that’s the KAO defense.
I cannot take it anymore. I think I will watch the Cowboys supposedly trounce the Arizona Cardinals instead. That game might be more relevant and entertaining. No need to waste time on the Packers saga. Holmgren will find a way to beat his former team in Seattle today.
Hmm. Even the most pessimistic anti-bandwagon, anti-TJax folks here wouldn’t have believed it if I had said over the summer that the Lions would start Orlavsky, the Bears would start Orton, the Pack would start Rodgers - and the Vikes would have the worst QB’ing in the conference. . .
Puntergate combined with comedown after wild and weird gift win from the Saints + typical Vikings ability to play down to opponents level + Childress coaching = wetting the bed against the Motor City Kitties.
Now we’re playing kickball Berrian?
There is a reasonable amount of talent on offense - too bad Childress and Bevell don’t know how to use it. I’ve been supportive of Chili until this year - last week’s game was entertaining, but not the kind of stuff that shows they are a good football team. I’ve given him the benefit of the doubt, and Zygi has given him the tools (the players, not the brains). But the play has been genuinely uninspired. If the Vikes crap out this week and bomb against the Bears next week, I say can both Chili and Bevell going into the bye week and make Frazier the coach. It would be a good audition for him, and if he can do what Chili couldn’t, retain him as head coach next season.
Too bad they can’t list the Head Coach as inactive because of an inactive imagination.
Zygi, Fire Childress now and let Leslie Frazier run the team. I think it is worth the shot.
Ohh, I am not saying the KAO is loaded with receiver and offensive line talent compared to the rest of the team. However, if da Bares can walk all over the kittens, then the Vikings can do it too, when motivated, coached, and a real creative offense is employed during the game.
There is definitely something wrong with the defensive backfield when for years, every single rookie or castoff QB looks like the all world perfect passer.
If Herman Munster doesn’t start about the “trap” game, Freds will fist fight him. It’s not a trap, the Vikings offense and Feroooch just stink
Well Childree strikes again. What an Imagination he has!
Fire Childress
Show her…show her…darn it
I am getting sick of the Chilli face - total bewilderment…
So, unless Winfield is able to score some points again today, not only will the point spread not be met, but the Vikings will lose. It starts at the top, and if Colonel Klink cannot take responsibility like he is supposed to, then the end of the Klink era is imminent. He certainly has done all possible to alienate the fan base……………..
I wonder if Childress is Cal Stoll in disguise?
I wonder if Zigi is really just a great Vegas better.
I agree that if we tank this one Chili should be gone at the Bye. But why Frazier? Isn’t it his D that has given up two huge plays today and, as BleedPurple notes, makes rec league QBs look like Pro Bowlers?
For the remainder of the season, bring in some retired caretaker if you must - Martyball, Cowher, whatever. But I’m not sold on Frazier. If we need a change, lets clean house and not keep anyone tainted by this excrutiatingly bad play.
Childress should be fired
that just saved my fantasy matchup…
LETS FRIGGIN GO NOW VIKES!!!
HOW CAN YOU NOT GO FOR 2!!!!!
Another knock on childress..
why would you NOT GO FOR 2 THERE?!?!?!? its either TIE or you still need a FG, WTF is wrong with this guy?!!?
remember, BC is now responsible for the “talent” on this roster……
NO MORE EXCUSES!!!!!
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW!!!!!
Also, you realize that us lowly fans know when the KAO runs or passes. So, doesn’t it stand to reason that the payed professionals can recognize that even faster than us? The key phrase to use is stubborn is as stubborn does. Time to shower…….
Wow… last series aside, this has been another snooze of a game. How can so much talent play so unenthusiastically? Is it really THAT hard to recover from a Monday night game? Other teams do it… We’ve given Detroit’s rookie QB his first TD, their D how many SACKS(?), their D’s first interception and possibly their first victory of the season.
we have AD, we have the most expensive O-line in football. . . and at 10-8 we go for 1 instead of 2? In what world does that make sense?
You never go for 2 before the 4th quarter. It’s common sense across the NFL.
RAY EDWARDS!!!
Childress IS Bizzaro in “disguise”
you guys are missing the point: you only go for two late in the game when you’re desperate for that point…until then there is a lot of football left…and the vikes still have 360yds and 28 more points to score…as per my prediction earlier
why didn’t we go for 2?
oh wait, NOT RAY EDWARDS!!!!
sd - in a game like this you don’t go for 2 there?!!? your out of your friggin mind just like childress
sd, I agree take the easy points, only risk the 2 pointer when you need to.
Has a coach ever been fired mid-game? If not, Zygi should make history. Recent touchdown aside, this crap is getting more embarrassing by the week. The Minnesota Vikings should be beating the worst team in the NFL by about 25-30 points right now, based on talent available. But if your coach is a total buffoon (he is) then you will struggle to win even the easiest games.
C’mon, Zygi, go downstairs and fire him on TV. That would be AWESOME.
We have all been dragged into:
The Twilight Zone (imagine Rod Serling playing the role of Colonel Klink, including the cigarette in hand)
What else explains the bonehead decision to not go for two?
Birk and Huch are the only two players on the O-line that deserve to be starters in the NFL. Cook doesn’t even deserve to be a backup, and McKinnie needs to go back on suspension…
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW!!!
Please, fire Childress
Gus Ferooochhhhh is a statues!!!!!!
I’d go for 2 in ANY situation where I can tie the game and NOT put the game out of reach with a field goal, cause that would be COMMON SENSE.
Impressive showing from your Vikings so far!
I disagree, you need the 2! What, are the lions going to get 2 field goals and the Vikings one touchdown?
Zygi is waiting in the locker room to fire Childress
After waht we just saw from the O-Line, there is abspolutley no reason to think that a 2 point conversion is likely.
BTW, the last I checked it is not common practice in the NFL to not attempt two before the 4th quarter. But what do I know? More likely it is the “brilliant” head coach not having any faith whatsoever in the offense to make it. Orrrrrrrrrr, this same guy totally neglected to practice two point conversions this week due to punter evaluation time instead.
The odds are against you in converting a two point conversion. So the odds say you will be down 10-8. Another Lions touchdown then makes it a two possession game at 17-8. Go for the two later and let the game develop now. You all are assuming a two point conversion is a gimme. It isn’t. I’m not defending Childress. In fact I want him fired right now. But you don’t go for two in the third quarter unless your down by 24 or more.
We fired Tice for this.
chilly has Wilf’s ear since he has been here and has given everything chilly has wanted, including a free agent signing who has not been active for the past two weeks.
I just can’t believe that the owner still buys into this guys credentials as a coach. Get rid of Chilly now! Bevell also must go… he must have trained under the Gary Q of offense play calling
Let this thing die and start over again. Mike Grant could do better than this mess!

and another thing. . . could McCauley be any worse at coverage than Griffin? Really? Can’t we at least give it a try and find out? I love watching Ced pop runners; he’s a great hitter, but there is a reason every coach so far this year has game planned picking on him in the passing game.
Why do the fans show up to the games week after week? I know that the season ticket holders are screwed (they’ve already forked over their money), but what about the walk up business? Losing money is apparently the ONLY thing that will force a change in management… All our collective complaining over Childress’ ineptness falls on deaf ears.
I’ve never understood the logic of going for 2 later. Wouldn’t you rather know what you absolutely need? I’d rather take the risk with ticks on the clock left.
Stop…just stop….enough 2 point discussion. Freds needs a Colt
Where his wife Lilly?
I see you’re guys logic on the 2 pt conversion, but I still say in THIS GAME and how its gone that going for 2 there was the right call, what will you say if we lose 10-9? That would mean Chili blew the only chance we had to tie it, and he HAD the chance too.
I know its not a gimme, but nothing about the score and being able to change it with a field goal afterword changes from 9 to 8 points
Is Ron Pitts KIDDING… “We’ve got a good one…” Really? This is a STINKER of a game. Geez.
Its possible to lose this game by one point if a two-pointer is no good. Chili would be crucified for that by the media, and you’d be right there with them.
good greif charlie brown i think lucy and linus could do a better job of play calling
good greif charlie brown i think lucy and linus could do a better job of play calling
If this were any other business, including other NFL teams, the ownership closely watches everything and performs a cost benefit analysis. Also, the quest for a new stadium is added into that analysis. The end results dictate what happens next from the ownership.
I hope and pray that Zygi is waiting in Colonel Klink’s office right as the team walks into the locker room and does not allow anybody to leave until ownership has a little unplanned conference with first Colonel Klink, explaining how many boxes are to be used for the KAO as it is packed up and burned. Second, to explain to the rest of the employees (remaining coaching staff and players) exactly how the future of each and every one of them is directly dependent on winning and playing like every game is your last with the organization. Maybe that will properly motivate everyone to stop screwing around.
Why go for 2 when you have Jim Kleinsasser on your team? He will lead us back down the field.
Run like the wind Jimmy!!!! Runs!
Zygi is standing behind Childress saying you suck
WTF is wrong with AP fumbling every damn time now????
He should have had a fumble last week and now two this week. Jeez…
AP is killing me in Fantasy…
What’s with AP? He’s had what, 4-5 fumbles this year already?
Oh ya, he’s trying to carry the KAO.
Pitts is a horrible announcer, that’s why they give him Lions and/or Rams games every week.
No, Zygi is standing behind Childress saying “what do you need for next season, Coach?” Just one of the annoying things about this franchise.
Man, AP, what’s with the cement hands?
to quote John Madden:
‘BOOM!’
did he fumble or not?!
Way to kill the momentum… ANOTHER AP fumble. Wow, for having “the strongest hands in the NFL” he’s sure been having trouble holding on to it.
Ouch. Those hits had to hurt. Especially on Johnson. I just hope the idiot commish doesn’t throw a fine out there this week - the defender’s head was down below Johnson’s.
If that was me, I wouldn’t be getting up for a long time!
Is AP hurt? He received that vicious blow to the head last Monday, and I wonder if he has a concussion no one is talking about. If you recall, his helmet came flying off on that “tackle” by the Saints.
About times to check in with Clarissa!!!!
zygi is the puppetmaster
Well, time to lose a big play on replay ..
Bleed is your last name Childress? That is the dumbest thing Fred has ever heards.
puppetmaster of what? Master of idiots?
NICE!
Haha. I liked Clarissa better as a blond. She’s cool though I met her a couple years ago while she was on her way up working WNBA games.
Holy smokes … referee mojo two weeks in a row … who’s living right?
I mean Charissa.
That wasn’t a fumble. If it was, AD fumbled on Monday night.
Any Minnesota Viking who knows how to hold onto a football while running with it, please report to the sidelines.
really, hang on to the ball. the goal is to score a touchdown and win a game.
Which part? Zygi’s impromptu meeting after the game or the musing about AP with a concussion?
these announcers are dumb, even I can tell from that he didn’t have control of the ball in his hand,
he got knocked the f out, your muscles and nervers go dead in that second or two, hands loses grip on ball, ball drop, looks like he’s got it, but he don’t, I completely agree with that call.
Lets flag ourselves out of FG range. Lets just kick it now
Man, does Cook stink…
FIRE CHILDRESS!!!
FIRE CHILDRESS!!!
FIRE CHILDRESS!!!
FIRE CHILDRESS!!!
FIRE CHILDRESS!!!
FIRE CHILDRESS!!!
FIRE CHILDRESS!!!
Just kick the darn thing!
BBBBBBBBBBBooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Of course….
Fumbles, stupid calls, stupid penalties, kind of reminds me of 1984, the ghost of Les Steckel lives.
Blocked. Is anyone surprised?
if this game is not enough to get childress fired i might just start asking for a new owner as well…
I wonder how Chili’s wife must feel. She hears talk of how great he is. It appears if she will be satisfied, but when it comes down to it, he doesn’t have the play she needs.
Longwell cannot kick the ball far enough inside the dome now? What is going on?
It is soo F__king terrible to have a chillie dip wad as coach. NO IMAGINATION at all!
I am only surprised that the block was not returned the OTHER way for a TD
just fuh-get about it….the Lions came to play….the Vikes didn’t.
FIRE THAT POOR EXCUSE FOR A COACH. THE ONE WITH THE WALRUS MUSTACHE.
ZIGY FIRE CHILDRESS NOW!!!!

Smiling… laughing… joking… In the Bud Grant era, that would not have been tolerated. Just shows that this is all a big joke. They collect their salaries DESPITE their performance. Pathetic.
F U CHILDRESS
Has Chilly been fired yet?
F U CHILDRESS!
this will more than likely be the vikes best chance w/ time on the clock to do something w/ the ball…hopefully they can get something done
I’m done with this until Zygi pulls the trigger. This is an all-time low for the Vikings.
There is only one acceptable response to this garbage…fire the stinking Coach.
Good Night Now!!!
Good by Chilli…you were here much too long. Thanks for dragging Viking tradition into the toilet.
You just moved Les Steckel up a notch.
F U CHILDRESS!!
4 wide gives us a touchdown.
so.. um.. lets not do that again.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo
The D-coordinator is not calling a good game, Childress and Bevell are calling a horrible one and its not hard when you know what’s coming
That is the Vikings I know under Childress A 3 yard pass on 3rd and 13….

i’m sure glad we didn’t go for that 2-ptr in the 3rd Q. its so much better to lose by 1 than by 2!
Not that it matters with this team, but da’ bears are down by 6
So, here is what I see occurring before the day is over. The KAO eats up two or three more possessions. The flabbergasted head coach does not know whether to go for a touchdown or a FG to win the game with fifteen seconds remaining at the kitties 1 yard line. With three timeouts still to burn, two are used to the call the “perfect” play that the kitties will never ever see coming (AP up the middle with Tahi blocking instead of Kleinsasser). Right after the four yard loss, Longwell comes in with two seconds left on the clock. This time the whole offensive FG team line has been replaced to fool the kitties even more. As the center snaps the ball, Longwell winds up to kick it right into the hands of the kitten who roars, and the ball game for a 95 yard blocked return for a TD with zero time remaining. How is that for Colonel Klink fortune torture telling????
I’m blaming this all on Winfield. He is the real problem right now. Due to him, I’ve had hope that this team could actually win a few. Thanks for the blown hope Winfield.
still think they shouldn’t have gone for 2?
FIRE THIS JOKE OF A HEAD COACH
What a f’ing joke. F U CHILDRESS
Jesus…
Ha ha ha… “mental error”. Isn’t that what the ENTIRE Viking’s offense is?!
When did the refs join our side? That is new….
Chili is gonna get bailed out by yet another pass interference penalty..
I don’t even have the words to describe how much I hate brad childress and how bad of a coach I think he is…
Every KAO needs KA discipline. Thank you Lord Childress for the KA discipline.
ragnor, yes. The 2 point call isn’t what’s blown this game… a fumble on the GL, bad play calling, turnovers, and missed field goals and penalties are the real problem.
Chili’s KAO philosophy = keep it close, toss it down field at the end of game, get pass interference called, kick game winning FG…somehow keep job.
2 min and the pain is over
As somebody mentioned earlier, we’ve entered the Twilight Zone. (Sadly, this seems to be a substitute for the End Zone!)
is there any chance chili gets fired even if we do pull this one out of our asses?
at the end of the game chili says i am chili and i approve of this message
Assuming we win this, we will be tied for the lead in the NFC North. Maybe the entire NFC North should be fired.
FVF .. two chances of that. Slim and fat, and slim just left the building.
okay, I ask this then, what difference would it make right now if the game was 10-8? what difference would it make if it was 10-10?
That is not a hard question…
as I said, in THIS game, he DEFINITELY should have gone for 2 there…
Its not the entire reason they are losing, but they had a CHANCE to NOT be in THIS SITUATION.
Please, Klink, try to score a TD.
the new big play for the KAO = WR Pass interference
bears are going to win, an extra point will seal the deal for them
Help me out on this,”offal” is a term to describe human intestines or ex crement?
Wow, red zone melt down AGAIN. I can’t watch the FG attempt…
Phew.
We don’t deserve to win this.
well, one more week a least of this brain dead futher mucker worthless excuse for a coach…
We haven’t won YET.
Let’s be honest. This was a brutally bad football game between two substandard teams, one of which is handcuffed by the worst offensive coaching and playcalling in the NFL. For the second straight week, a huge officials’ call has been instrumental in a last second win. If Childress thinks this is a springboard to anything, he needs to think again.
Can we find out how much practice time Chili is now working on the top secret downfield pass interference play? His got to be putting a lot of time into this new brilliant play of his.
Offal: 1: the waste or by-product of a process: as a: trimmings of a hide b: the by-products of milling used especially for stock feeds c: the viscera and trimmings of a butchered animal removed in dressing
no, we didn’t…
How many sacks did Kevin Williams have today??? 3-4??
OK.. we won it. But it was ugly. Another hollow win. Childress MUST be fired.
Williams 4 sacks, incredible,,,, ugly, ugly win, thank you Viking Defense! Tons of yards for the offense but once again, no scoring
I don’t care who won this game:
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW!
my message to Zygi Wilf on my site after the Saints game applies Ten fold after this one…
Congrats on pulling out the victory, but the Vikes did not 1 single hundredth of a percentage point deserve to win this game. I place that blame ALL on the HEAD COACH. The only thing Brad Childress has shown me as a coach is his Uber-ability to make his team play mediocre. Fire this man right now, because I don’t want to have keep talking about how bad he is for the rest of the season. The vikes may be tied now for NFC north supremacy, but to me it feels like we are battling for the #1 pick, this is a sign that your coach should be FIRED.
Rams just beat the Redskins
the bears lose!!!!! thank you Jason Elam!!!!
Embarassed to call that a win
omg atlanta beat the bears
and the Falcons just beat the bears… somehow we’re friggin tied for the NFC north lead
Vikings are a top of the NFC NORTH!!!
How about that for a string of game winning FGs? Vikes, Rams and Falcons.
Why am I not thrilled?
6-10 might win this friggin division..
radelescu, thanks. Then I guess I threw my own ex crement at the TV. A wins a win. This one stunk.Like my TV.
I wonder what Reusse will say about this? Any win is not subject to criticism? Bloggers are all boneheads? I swear, he is in the pocket of Zygi.
Because every one of those teams should have lost?
pretty ugly game fire klink
and Houston beats Miami on a 4th down, last second QB draw….
I wonder if anyone has ever thrown Gatorade over chilis head (with out the intent of drowning him)?
Ugly win…but it could be worse…Skins just lost, at home, to St. Louis. Lots of mediocrity in the NFL, and one weird day.
we could only hope… but there’s no chance he gets fired this week… we’re stuck with the stupid bas.tard for at least another week
i’d rather see them give him a swirlie….
I think I am going to plan for no longer torturing myself with the current KAO master plan of defensive pass interference to win a game. Instead, I am going to spend time ogling beautiful women on Sundays. I get way more fun from that, instead of this Twilight Zone Head Coach Fiasco. I have never seen or thought that my fictitious prediction above would be so close to reality. If only I had predicted the pass interference call play, I could go to Vegas and be very well off right now from the gambling winnings. Colonel Klink does not deserve any credit for this “keeping things close” KAO mess. It is absolutely screwy and I am tired of it.
I hope someone sticks his head in the gatorade for 5 mins.
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW
KAO pulls through again. Offensive juggernaut. Super Bowl here we come.
The boo’s were for CHillie Dip Wad11
thanks again…to the worst F>U>C>K>I>I>N>G officiating you have seen….even after last week…Brad “i don’t have a damn clue as to what i’m doing” Childress lives on…
I’ve never seen a coach able to make a win and tie for 1st place absolutely no fun.
Well, at least the Vikes looked really awesome against the worst team in the league.
Got me how Reusse could possibly defend this win like last week’s. I cannot remember any Grant coached team playing like this one today. I wonder what Grant thinks of today’s effort? I wonder if Zygi is meeting with Colonel Klink behind a closed door again?
Something else to consider, this morning before the games started, the ESPN radio guy was postulating that today may not go so well for Washington and Minnesota. Makes me wonder what the guy knew from rumor mill land. Both games were exceedingly close and Washington lost by two. The Vikings were not even close to making spread, even though a win occurred in spite of the Twilight Zone Head Coach.
What! We won without an Antoine Winfield TD? Can we count that as progress? Oops, forgot about that safety…margin of victory.
Chili, Twilight Zone Coach = dumb dumb dumb dumb, dumb dumb dumb dumb, dumb dumb dumb dumb………
Reuesse should be checked for drug use with IDIOTIC articles like the ones he has written here in the last week…unless the senility has set in on the old dumb bast-ard
Well after today I will never listen to anyone whine about the refs evere again, they single handedly won us the game this week and sure helped us last week…Childress is a retard.
Was PO’d at sloppy play. Peterson not taking care of the ball, OL bad run blocking, too many holding penalties. Was about to send signed letter of protest to Zygi but then realized I have it good this week. Neighbor Ravens fans - crushed by old Indy team. Proud Skins fans - actually lost at home to Lions equivalent in St. Louis.
Vikings’ goats:
OL (they look old, slow, sloppy)
Coaches: way to go for TD’s (not!)
AP: I know, sacrilege, but Mr. Crushing Handshake can’t hold on to the ball right now.
Heroes:
Berrian
Frerotte (like aggressive mindset)
Longwell
heroes
refs and thats it
The Vikings win again! All you nay sayers have something to complain about for another week! Let’s face the facts, the receiving core is terrible at best. Our only hope is pass interference calls. If you watch the game again you will see that the receivers can’t separate from hopeless players like Dwight Smith. Did you see Frerotte’s frustration? The receivers were no where to be found. You can’t blame Childress for an inexperienced/underperforming receiving core. My guess is that Wilf will open his check book to sign a big name receiver in the coming offseason to upgrade the receiving core.
Berrian is FINALLY starting to earn his money.
CHILDRESS NEEDS TO BE FIRED BEFORE THE DAY IS OVER…
highonfire..correct…Chili’s still in their locker room blowing them all so it will be awhile til his post agme press conference
the only thing making Berrian look good now is the horrible competition…he has had the luck of going against 2 of the worst defenses in the NFL to pad his stats here for a couple weeks
I agree, Childress is overwhelmed and doesn’t belong on an NFL sideline. What do the realists say? We can scream in CAPS all we want, Wilf will not fire him in-season unless they totally tank.
AP becoming fumble-prone. Will Sidney Rice ever play? Injury-prone.
Jared Allen is not beating one-on-one blocking. He got the money up front. Berrian starting to come through.
Kevin Williams had a hell of a game
Chilly will get fired when the Bears beat them next week
I’m trying to figure out how Allen gets credit for a sack when the dumb ass QB steps out of the end zone without being touched…to get credit for a sack on that is super lame…MDVikes ..correct on the point of Allen not beating one on one blocking even… his move is to try the speed rush all the time and if he actually does get past the tackle on it….he ends up 10 yards behind the QB
all 3 of the Bears losses have come at the end of the game..just think if they had CHILI”S luck
Wait . . . are you guys saying the Vikes still aren’t awesome even though they overpowered the mighty Lions today?
Vikings win, Lions lose, Bears lose, Green Bay is losing. Its a weak conference and a long season! The team is starting to gel. We don’t have Red McCombs as an owner, Williamson is nowhere to be found and the beer is still cold in Minnesota! Things could be worse…
And it seems like some of you think head coach Brad Childress didn’t know what he was doing when he called for the old pass interference play to Aundrae what-is-separation-anyway Allison. That was the perfect call after the always popular Ryan Cook holding play.
