One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

Do you really think Callahan gets you to the playoffs?
I think there is a remote, outside shot Hundley and McCarthy figure something out and win a few games. I have even less certainty about Callahan. Maybe Callahan can run the current close to ARod version of this offense better, but he didn't look fantastic in preseason either.
If remote are the best odds they have, then the best info is whether Hundley can play. Callahan is a secondary consideration that can be made later.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
This isn't about Callahan getting us into the playoffs. It's about Hundley. It's about the rest of this year and next year.
As I see it, the best case scenario is that Hundley loses his bad habits and bad instincts and the Pack eeks out a couple wins to get into the playoffs. Arod comes back and we repeat the 2010 season.
What are the odds of that happening? Probably zero.
A more likely scenario is Hundley finishes out the season and maybe eeks out a win against the Browns. He flashes signs of ability, maybe even brilliance. Hell, Flynn set records against Detroit one year.
If that likely scenario happens, where are we with regard to 2018? Same place we are now.
Odds are they won't hang on to Hundley, who by the season's end will be a known quantity, and Callahan will continue to be an unknown quantity. Odds are he'll be gone too and next year we'll go into the season with some drafted rookie as backup. Or at best, Hundley, if we don't get rid of him.
And in the meantime we suffer through more games like yesterday's.
I've got to hand it to the Vikes. Bridgewater went down and they went out and got Bradford. Bradford goes down and they went out and got Keenum. We stand pat.
The Viking game plan puts them into the playoffs and maybe the Super Bowl.
Us????
