Vikings Love in Vegas

Minnesota destroyed the cowboys last week and outplayed or at very least equalled the play of the number 1 seed in the NFC on the road in the conference championship. How does that have anything to do with schedule at this point?

If Favre sucked, I would have been the first to step up and say that I was wrong. He didnt just surpass anyone's expectations, he left even the highest of expectations in another stratosphere. He led a young team with a nondescript group of receivers into one of the most successful passing attacks in the NfL.

This is almost as retarded as the back and forth about delonte West last spring. Actually, its probably even more remedial...which is quite a statement.

Well you were wrong about Delonte West but you are right about this. My question to people who think this wasnt a successful year is Where you you think they finish with the Sage Rosenfields/Tarvaris jackson two headed monster at QB?

I just like to point out that the last thing Favre did was throw an interception AGAIN

and as far as bad breaks.. what about all the Peterson fumbles that were recovered by the Vikings?

Just about everyone I know is relieved that we won't have to hear them drone on and on about Brett Favre this and that in the Superbowl

10-6, their defense wins at Dallas in the Wild Card round, and then they get blown out at New Orleans in the divisional. Look at that schedule they played.

No way Scott...They lose the San Fran game, they lose the Bengal game and maybe the GB at at Lambeau...8-8 at best and no playoffs

They would have been a completely different team focused on defense and the running game so every game would have played out very differently. They went 10-6 the year before against the 14th toughest schedule in the NFL with Jackson and Frerotte. They could have improved on that this year against the 31th toughest schedule in the NFL.

Consider this, last year the Jets went 9-7 with the 31st ranked schedule and Favre having an All Pro year. This year they replaced him with a QB who had a 63.0 QB Rating, played the 3rd toughest schedule in the NFL, and still finished with a 9-7 record. Why? Because they completely altered their style of football, just like the Vikings would have done without Favre and just like the Vikings did last year.

Zuh? The guy threw 22 interceptions, that's All-Pro worthy?

He made the Pro Bowl and not as an alternate, that's what I was going by.

Allen Iverson made the NBA All Star game as a starter BTW..

Probably the same as last year. A loss in the first week of the playoffs. Favre made them a better team. I don't remember the Delonte West discussion. Was it something about Trevor Ariza being one of the 3 or 4 best players in the NBA or something? You gotta appreciate someone who goes Mad Max real time though. I think Delonte was searching out dalakhani with his packed guitar case this summer. Delonte's delirium will eventaully be the end of the Cavs this year.
