I can agree with ONLY the "C" grade on defense. After all, the Vikes can't score on defense in EVERY game to save the offense's sorry butts.

However, everything else should be an F, except coaching, should be an "A". A for Absent, As---ole, Asinine, and atrocious. F minus just doesn't sum it up.

CHILDRESS MUST GO! Why burn a timeout to decide if you want to challenge a play which ALSO costs a timeout if you're wrong? Childress-- you only needed to throw a red flag, risking ONE timeout. Moreover I was simply stunned that with two minutes left and with a 4th and 13 to go situation with NO TIME OUTS, Childress elected to punt! He was either: A) Stupid, since the team had no hope other than to go for it on fourth down, or B) He surrendered. I am not sure which is worse-- being incompetent or giving up. In Childress' geeky little mind he probably thinks clock management is maintaining that pair of cuckoo clocks he has in his basement. Bring back the Meat Butcher-- he did significantly better with less talent. Or what about Cowher? Childress must GO!!

You graded Chidress way to high, He should an F-. The team is 1 dimensional, everyone knows what play ids going to be called, no imagination on play calling. He signed 3 useless receivers and banked on a division 2 QB to lead him into the promised land. We have not had an offense since he has been here. Bring back Jerry Burns!!!!!

There isn't a letter in the alphabet low enough to grade Brad Childress. Great offensive line. Best running back in football. Rejuvinated receiving corp, and a decent back up quarterback and this guy can't get an offense to score points. I think the Vikings needed to bring Andy Reid with Childress if they wanted to get a real coach. Chili has been riding Reid's coat tails to this position and it is obvious the man can't be a head coach to save his life.

It's best to keep losing-that is the only way Ziggi will pull the plug-he obviously has been snowed by Chilly who is a real live flake!

There's no doubt that Farve is an excellent Q B. However with the putrid offense play calls and the lack of leadership and a lousy system not to mention the lack of receivers that can catch a ball. Brett would have a hard time putting up a 4th of those stats as a Viking. Even Tjack and Gus could get 1/2 those stats with a real pro team.
But they don't play on one.
