Don't tell me you still have faith in that guy? Brad Johnson walked in and took over the exact same team Culpepper left behind and goes 3-0.

Now I'll give him the benifit of the doubt, maybe he's just gotta get used to not having Moss drawing a triple team, leaving a reciever open and still being able to get the jump ball himself, that's alot to lose and Moss has been their the entire time Daunte has so it's understandable.

With Johnson being a veteran who's been with the team before and most importantly has a Super Bowl under his belt doing the same thing(game managing) I see why he could step in and do better but if we see the same time next year Culpepper just aint got it.

Plus the Vikings have a total of 13 offensive touchdowns the entire year, 4 under Brad Johnson. They aren't a good offensive team with either QB, and that touchdown total is the WORST for a team with at least a .500 record.

So good luck...:D

Brad Johnson is a good QB but he's not right for the offensive design. They've got a bunch of fast finese players with a managment QB. They're surviving off turnovers and special teams, you can get away with that in college(Frank Beamer did it very well for a long time until Micheal Vick showed up) but it's going to catch up to you sooner or later in the NFL.

Panthers
Seahawks
Cowboys
Bears

There's your division champs unless something unexpected happens, although I'm not sure the Panthers are a complete lock yet, Cadillac is back so the Buccs have a real chance and how's this for a scary thought....Micheal Vick is actually learning how to throw so the Falcons have a real chance too.

Michael Vick thinks he's superman and he tries to do ridiculous things after every snap. He's going to do die on the football field, I guarantee it.

I agree, his career will probably end because of injury, either that or he'll have enough to keep him from fully developing his full potential which is high as the sky.

We'll see. The Bears aren't gonna finish better than 9-7 so it'll depend on what the Vikings do.

By calling Culpepper a star player, I just mean that our whole offense had been geared around him and now he's gone. I well aware that our defense and special teams are keeping us afloat right now, but we're getting the wins and that's what matters. Vikes are gonna win the NFC North when they beat the Bears in week 17 and then I'm gonna come back to this thread and point out the fact that I called it way back here before week 12.


Austin..... The Vikes may not be too feasible as a legit playoff hopeful (Definately not as a legit Super Bowl contender) but they sure know how to beat The Packers this year. Owned at the Dome and Lambeau! Must be a rough time to be a Packer fan. :p

[AUSTIN316426808]

Well, I think the season would've went alot better if....uh...oh yeah, the entire roster wasn't half dead but it's cool you can only dominate a division for so long. I'm a true fan, not going to bail on 'em the first losing season in over a decade, ecspecially when injury is to blame.


You really think the Bears are gonna go 2-4 the rest of the way or is that just the die hard fan side of you talking?


And you're absolutely right, winning is the important thing no matter how it happens, my point was that you can't keep it up for 9 weeks straight.

[bwind22]

Yeah, look at the Bears schedule from here on out.

@ Tampa Bay
vs. Green Bay
@ Pittsburgh
vs. Atlanta
@ Green Bay
@ MInnesota

4 road games and that's a pretty tough schedule. They'll probably beat the Pack once maybe twice and maybe MInn, but like I said, I think that game will be for the division.

[AUSTIN316426808]

I've got 'em at 3-3....

Split with the Pack

If Orton has protection I think they'll take the Vikings

and I think they'll take one out of the other three, most likely Atlanta since they live off running.

If Rothlisbergr isn't back yet or not at 100% and they can knock him around they might be able to take the Steelers out too.

[bwind22]

We'll see what happens... The Vikes are finding ways to get 'er done right now so just imagine what would happen if our offense actually did start clicking.

Halftime show of a Thanksgiving game on live national tv, would it kill her to actually sing.
