Everyone over on the purple board, safe Marradro and I, seems refreshed with the move.

Haven't logged on there yet today, but I'm 100% certain that there isn't a soul there now that isn't refreshed with the move.

Personally.. I wish they would have promoted someone other than Frasier.

I am not a Vike fan.. being that, I think he can address the cultural issues with the Vikes.. and if it is good for the Vikes, I don't likey. 😉

Thought so, but wasn't sure which angle you were going with.

I'm totally on board with Frazier, hopefully they'll keep him around to see what he can do.

Shoot.....the division just got more competitive! A great day for a cheesehead in Minnesota, to be sure!

How so, exactly? Every person on my Facebook (mostly Viking fans) are extremely happy about this.

Over/under on VikesRule coming back?

First, that's a pretty sad Facebook page.
Second, I think he's saying with Childress gone, the Vikings will be more competitive. How that's a great day for a Packers fan (assuming cheesehead is such) ... maybe because the division will be respected more?

Would love to see Vikesrule return. I'd even covenant to reduce the Vike bashing (though Minnesota would still be open game).

I'd say it's ggod for cheeseheads, as MAYBE the Vikings will wake up JUST enough to knock off the Bears, thus helping us.

Man this actually sucks - I liked the fact chilly was the MN HC ... it was pretty interesting that they fired childress then bench brent.

I guess what is funnier is that we sacked 2 HCs in the past 2 games ... impressive stats 😉

Here's the most insightful article I've read about the Childress firing, from Kevin Seifert over at ESPN:

Why are folks so unwilling to tie Favre directly to the downfall of both Childress and the Vikings. By abandoning his own principles, Childress gave in to a frivolous decision to bring in a giant ego who questioned his authority, and backed it up with a track record on the field. When the 3 amigos flew down to the armpit in August, it was clear that the team had no self respect. They humiliated themselves and the entire organization by begging. With that as a backdrop, and high expectations following their every step, failure was a fait accompli.

He failed because his healthy, veteran team became an injury plagued, old team before our eyes. The offensive and defensive lines, strengths for much of last year, became obvious weaknesses. Their QB has been seriously banged up all year and they have been without their best WR all season and their second best WR cannot seem to get on the practice field.

Childress probably had to lose his job because the team was falling into chaos, but let's not pretend this season is all on the HC. None of the problems that led to Childress losing his job would have occurred, or been noticed, if the team performed better, and much of the drop in performance lies squarely on the players.

Winning makes everything go away.
They won last year, so the "warts" stayed covered.
This year, they are in full view for all to see.

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Tua’s old DC won a Super Bowl Year 1 with Tua’s former backup

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : *winning MVP

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Funny observation I've heard: Carson Wentz was on the sideline for both Eagles Super Bowl wins w/guys supposed to be his back up winning

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : pro bowl

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : They moved it to the BYE week before Super Bowl several years ago.

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : it was always after the SB.....

beast (10-Feb) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (10-Feb) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
