11. Happy dance for next year's pitching
crossing fingers for an offensive pick up in the offseason!

Santana rocked yesterday.

3. The Vikes look totally lost
on both offense and defense. That is a failure of coaches, not players. This team has players with the tools needed to win games in the NFL. The fish rots from the head down.

Hey Zygi, is your buddy Jim Fassel available these days? Bet he'd be interested in coaching the Vikings next year, if not before.

4. I am just glad that none of this has to do with Moss leaving
I mean if he was that great you'd think people would be giving him the credit he deserves for carrying an entire NFL franchise on his back for what 5 years and he doesn't even touch the ball every play, just the THREAT of him on the field changes the whole game. I mean if Moss were say Favre and he DID carry the whole team on his back AND took every snap well then that is easy to understand but if you have everything fall apart just because a WR left well....

If that were true it would make you wonder what is going on in Oakland.

5. I'm confused myself - you guys should be killer with Culpepper
hell the way Culpepper is playing now the best he could be is 3rd string on the Eagles team. And let's face it we know Culpepper is one of the best QBs in the league!

6. Tice sure ain't no Denny Green.
Denny could find the talent and took a chance on Moss. Sure Randy's a head case. But the guy can play. There's got to be a better coach out there in the NFL fraternity, even a young and rising assistant who'd do a good job. I just hate the way coaches are recycled in the pro sports. Give a young assistant a chance. Just not another Les Steckle please. :puke:

10. That's too bad
As bad as the Tigers were when Trammell came on board, he deserved at least one more season. Class guy.
