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.

beast (36m) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (8h) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (13h) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (15h) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (23-Dec) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (23-Dec) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (23-Dec) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (23-Dec) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (23-Dec) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I literally just said it.
