Henderson, MN Forums General Bleeding Purple Vikings Talk

So we are up 7 - 6 and Chilly wants to take #4 out of the game? No wonder why Brent was PO'ed.

Fire Childress.

Childress's play calling will never win a championship.

From Pioneer Press:
On Nov. 1 at Lambeau Field, the Vikings were leading 31-26 and seemed to be taking a conservative approach. On first down, from the Minnesota 41, Favre completed a screen pass that running back Adrian Peterson turned into a 44-yard gain. The Vikings ran the ball on the next two plays, losing a yard, and faced third and 11.

A run was called, according to ESPN, but Favre audibled and completed a 16-yard touchdown pass to receiver Bernard Berrian.

Despite the 38-26 lead, Childress instructed offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell to remove Favre from the game, ESPN reported, but the quarterback returned to action and handed the ball off on four consecutive plays.

Fire Childress

I actually heard that it was the first game that chilly wanted to pull Favre and not the one at Green Bay.

ESPN must be running this story like a daytime soap!

This story is great - the greatest QB Minnesota ever had.

I can't believe our punt return people can't figure out the Bears punter can't kick deep - Childress stinks.

Seriously - if it wasn't for Brent we would have what, 5 or 6 wins? So give Chilli an extenstion? Wilf is stupid.

Fire Childress.

Apparently Favre was calling the plays in the 2nd half when Childress and Bevell were in charge for the 1st. That's what I gathered from the postgame comments. I agree. Fire Childress. I am officially off the bandwagon this week.

Playoff teams don't spot the Bears 16 points.

Jared Allen who?

Winfield is 100%?

What do people think about Adrian Peterson's fumbling ways? He leads the league with 7 however he has the second most carries (305). Coincidentally Chris Johnson has 17 more carries than Peterson yet only 2 fumbles.
AP has twenty in his career...an average of almost seven per year is not good. He's at about one fumble per game which could prove detrimental in the playoff.

The great players make big plays in big games and last night he put the ball on the ground in the clutch.
I realize that the game never would have gone to overtime if the Vikes special teams had done their job.
