Now they go into next season with just as uncertain a QB situation as they were in this year. They'll have to endure an offseason of "will Favre be back" and are no closer to knowing whether Travaris Jackson will be a serviceable NFL QB. I tend to think it was more a success than a failure since they made the NFC Championship but once they got Favre it was pretty much Super Bowl or bust so in that respect it was a failure.

Also, do people think Childress will/should be canned? I think he should be, that was one of the most poorly coached games I have ever seen, but I don't think he will be.

I agree that Favre had a tremendous year...hopefully he won't string out the Vikes like he did last year. They came very close to winning that game, but there were plenty of miscues by both teams. I think Childress will be back, but he better get an infusion of creativity before next season.
