Vikings' Artis Hicks holds the line in injured Phil Loadholt's absence

Smart move to sit Loadholt out this game to be healthier for the Ravens.

The Ravens already know what Childress' play calling will be....Run, Run, Pass, Punt...Try something new, Chilly old buddy.....

Many smart, elite Coaches in the NFL thinks Childress is a dumb nut. If you listen to him and watch Childress closely, he does look dumb. Fire his numb, dumb nuts.

First of all I'm NOT a Chili apologist. I just see what I see. However, fire a guy while the team he built, and he DID build this team, is undefeated? Get real.

Even if the other teams they've played are not that good winning on the road isn't easy. Add to the fact that if you consider the first few games a little more than exhibition which has given Favre a chance to get used to the other players and the Vikes are in a good spot.

The offense is more balanced with better talent than they've had in years. Teams are learning if they try to stop Peterson that Favre can still throw to some quality receivers. And with Favre you always have a chance. The 49ers learned that lesson. The special teams are actually special now. The defense seems a little shaky in the secondary but they're beasts up front which helps that out. They are aggressive and never stop. The turnover ratio is tops in the league if I remember right.

Another key, they don't play down to the oposition. They win the games they should win. How many times in years past have we seen the opposite? They used to play up for big games but then crap their pants in places like Detroit or wherever.

The Vikings are now a team that other teams do not want to play.

Can you give us a link to this or prove it somehow?
