Vikings fire Childress; name Frazier interim

[ram29jackson]

He is the biggest reason they have 7 losses... Favre needs to be benched.. He makes terrible decisions at least 3-4 times a game.. I haven't seen a QB throw as many INTs straight to the other team like this since O'Donnell in the 95 Super Bowl..

no,the entire team is the 7 loss problem. Favre makes plays. The rest of the team needs to man up.

 

[Rayman]

Hmmm, let's see ... Eli Manning has 21 TDs, and Drew Brees has 22. Oh, and both teams have winning records.

But you knew that.

Eli is in need of a reprimand, at least.

But you can't bench him for the fucking Rosencopter.

 

[MrBill]

He should let Adrian Peterson do that.

The he you are talking about is Brad Childress. He put together the game plans and Favre ran the plays that were called. If he had been audibling out of called run plays it would have been all over the news.

Good try though.

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

Eli Manning has 16 and Drew Brees has 14. Should they be benched as well?

Single coverage doesn't really matter for Hank Baskett or Greg Camarillo. They couldn't get open against Ahmad Carroll.

Camarillo didnt seem to have too much trouble getting open for 105 catches over the last 2 seasons in Miami.

He's been making a LOT of plays for the OTHER team.

 

[MrBill]

Camarillo didnt seem to have too much trouble getting open for 105 catches over the last 2 seasons in Miami.

His 5 career TD's in 5 years really strikes fear into opposing defenses. Greg Jennings caught 3 years worth of TD production from Camarillo in one game on Sunday.

Ok... Camarillo isn't a redzone target and isn't gonna be catching a lot of 50 yard touchdowns. What a surprise. Doesn't mean he can't get open and isn't a servicable WR.

 

[Hasselbeck]

he is trying to make plays with second stringers who dont put out.

:jonesy:

The only guy removed from last year was Sidney Rice. They replaced him with Randy Moss, a guy who when he wants to play.. is actually probably more talented than Sidney Rice.

Favre makes enough plays to keep Viking fans glued to the TV before he stabs them in the back with a costly turnover that ends the game.

I know full well what the starting line up is. These guys were riding the Favre wave last year- believed their own hype and didnt put up this year- that is all

And.....Brett's playing like doodoo. And helped turn the team on the coach. That is all.

Frazier must have gotten the memo that Favre won't be benched.

I think the owner is looking for tickets to be sold as Brett gets closer to 300.

 

[Aso]

I do not like Frazier now that he has decided to keep Brett Favre as their starter. I am now fully ready and waiting for Frazier to do terrible and get his ass booted out the door at the end of the year.

Due to collective-bargaining issues it appears Frazier and Garrett will be in place for at least another year.

 

[Tailback U]

Favre has played like shit but the Vikings really don't have any other options. They already know Jackson is not the guy and he's not going to do any better than Favre anyway.

He is a lot more mobile than Favre, and by mobile, I mean capable of bipedal movement.

Not to mention, starting Jackson would be a better fit for the type of offense they SHOULD be running, which is 2TE sets and power running.

I really think that under the right system, Jackson could be a 55-60% completion guy, limit the TOs and make plays with his feet. Given a chance, he could be a poor man's David Garrard.

At the moment, Favre is playing like a penniless bum's Jay Cutler. T-Jack might not be an upgrade, but if he played equal to Favre and committed fewer turnovers, the overall gain would be positive when you factor in the additional carries Peterson would be getting.

 

[Scorask]

There has to something in Bretts contract that states that he will start if he is physically able. This whole situation is based around the streak.

 

[bucky]

Favre clearly hasn't been the answer, so you're saying, play the 41 year old "no answer" as opposed to the 2X year old "no answer"?

Cause, what you're really saying is, Minnesota has no answer.

 

[ram29jackson]

And.....Brett's playing like doodoo. And helped turn the team on the coach. That is all.

1- could just be media fodder
2- you dont really know
3-it may not be a bad idea to get rid of that coach anyway

 

[KINGOFOOTBALL]

BTW hearing Leslie Frazier talk about supporting Favre makes me think hes a schill.

Thats the second "guy in waiting" that has "back stabber" written all over him.


HC need to be more cautious with there assistants.
