Vikings ego is bruised as well as Favre's chin...

Greetings (again) Rubes!

Well, with the Vikings having literally and figuratively gimped their way to a
2-5 record, I think it's fair to say:  Stick a fork in the Vikes....they're
done.  Having said that, I'll reiterate that these are my guys, and I'm sticking
with them for the duration.  And don't get me wrong, I'd love to see this team
catch lightning in a bottle and rattle off 9 straight and soar into the
playoffs, but....eh?.....I doubt it.  There's still a ton of talent here, and
we'll win some games and have some highlight worthy moments, but I'm just not
seeing a dominant stretch run on the horizon.  Failures in multiple areas are
the culprit:  dumb penalties, dropped passes, inconsistent o-line play, poor
Favre play, zero pass rush, failure to create turnovers,...it all adds up to a
2-5 team, and that's just where we should be. 
 I think we're seeing the aging process affecting former studs like G Steve Hutchinson and the Williams Wall, and for some reason, DE Jared Allen has reaffirmed my hatred of haircuts: He cuts his mullet and becomes a horseshit player in one offseason.  That's incredible.  If he has any credibility whatsoever, he'd be giving back game checks on a weekly basis.  I'm honestly thinking that maybe it's time to pull the plug on the Favre-era and give QB Tarvaris Jackson a 9 game audition to see what we have there, if anything. 
Thinking ahead to next year, I'd like to see WR Randy Moss re-signed to a 3-year deal while cutting WR Bernard Berrian's ridiculous contract from the books, and also dicing S Madieu Williams, who isn't a bad football player, but who's play doesn't nearly equate to the (also)ridiculous contract that he's getting.  I know there's a ton of support for getting rid of Head Coach Brad Childress, but I'm not comfortable with that idea unless I know that Bill Cowher or someone of that ilk is willing to come in.  There is still of lot of football to be played yet, so we will see how this all plays out, and with the rather surprising mediocrity of the NFC conference,
anything can happen, but I'm seeing a Packers division title well within their grasp. Oh, and the Bears?....no,...their frauds.  Stay tuned....
