Long time ago I told you ignorant fuckers that the Vikings aren't shit unless they go and get Brett Favre or any QB that's name is not Tavuris Jackson. This was long before pre-season started. You guys laughed at me, made fun of how I miss spelled his name and flamed me. You guys told me that the Vikings don't need any other QB and that Tavuris is really good. Ummmm I'm sorry.... have you guys been watching espn lately? Thanks.

The Vikings need a coach that can call plays more than anything.
We could have Tom Brady and it wouldn't matter the plays are straight shit. Plain as hell and no imagination at all. Not to mention extremely predictable. I can call them before the play on my TV, I can only imagine what the defense is thinking after watching film and studying them. Prolly the easiest week of the year for them.
Childress is the joke of the NFL.
Read this article and thats all you need to know.

CHILDRESS COMMENTS REVEAL THAT HE’S NOT FIT FOR THE JOB
Posted by Mike Florio on September 29, 2008, 8:15 p.m.
We’ve tried to give Vikings coach Brad Childress every possible benefit of the doubt through two-plus NFL seasons as the man in charge in Minnesota.
But it’s over. We’re done. There will be no more leeway for the guy who looks like he should be filling out tax returns, not preparing game plans.
Our epiphany came earlier tonight, when we saw the coach’s explanation for his decision to punt the ball while trailing by two scores with roughly two minutes to play in Tennessee.
The Vikings faced fourth and 13 from their own 18. We assumed that Childress opted to punt due to fears that the Titans would then try to score another touchdown on a short field.
We were wrong, as usual.
On Monday, Childress explained his decision with this quote: “Based on the way we were playing defense, I thought we’d have a chance to get it back.”
But the Vikings had zero time outs. So the Titans took a knee three times, and the game was over.
A good coach can do the math on the fly and realize he’s not getting the ball back.
A good coach knows that, even if he had 10 time outs, giving the ball to the other team with 120 seconds left in the game isn’t the best way to put at least 13 points on the board.
Maybe the truth is that Childress feared backup quarterback Tarvaris Jackson, who replaced Gus Frerotte after his hand split open and gushed blood like watered-down gravy spilling from a ladle, would convert the long fourth down, and then perhaps would get a few more of them, and then perhaps would lead the team to a touchdown, requiring Childress to then perhaps revisit his decision to bench Jackson.
A good coach is smart enough to realize that a quarterback who regains lost confidence can only help the team, even if it requires the coach to deal with internal or external voices clamoring for another change.
Childress claimed after his press conference that he simply didn’t like the team’s chances at converting fourth down and 13 yards to go. And thus we wonder how he felt about the Eagles’ chances when facing fourth and 26 during the 2003 playoffs, when Childress was serving as Philly’s offensive coordinator.
So, regardless of the reason for his decision to punt, we’ve concluded that Childress isn’t a good coach. And we think that, barring a dramatic turnaround, it’s time for him to go.
We don’t spout off opinions like this lightly, and we realize that the removal of a coach profoundly affects a lot of men and their families. But each NFL team is a private business that thrives on widespread public interest, and the folks in Minnesota deserve much more from their local football franchise.
Especially if said local football franchise wants the folks in Minnesota to foot a big part of the bill for a new stadium.

He does have a point there. Coaches these days have to be on the ball or they will get burned every time by the media and the fans.

He just did not transition to the NFL - that's all. He was very good in college, and was almost average in the NFL - not every QB can do good in the big league.

i became a vikings fan when they picked up adrian peterson and probably will be a lifer now but, ive always felt that tjack was no good and im not chillys biggest fan either. tavaris still may turn out to be good but hes not ready and may never be ready. the only time he could convert on 3rd down was when he ran for it and usually came up hurt afterwards. tjack is so inconsistent u cant count on him for shit.
i though they should have picked up favre too, but GB had no intentions on letting him go to minnesota. they have a pretty solid team now with gus at qb but if they dont turn it around soon i have to say fire chilly. its his job to win games and he has the talent to do it.
oh yeah and the freaking wr's keep dropping balls with the exception of bobby wade that guy is dependable.
