we've been saying this or a while. They didn't even mention Fat Williams and Ben Leiber. And I had forgotten about Shanko and BerryAnn. Vikings want to win now. I don't know what their cash situation is, but one wonders what will happen when there is no cap."Never, never ever support a punk like mraynrand.

Rastak would have to confirm this, but I believe they are in pretty good shape. I'm not sure how.Originally posted by mraynrandGo PACKComment

When I see the Vikings taking Adrian Peterson, when they already had a 1200 yd rusher(Taylor), while having bigger issues such as one of the worst pass D's in the league the season before, it kinda makes me think what might have been if Green Bay takes Crabtree with two 1000 yd receivers, instead of taking a player to shore up one of the worst run D's in the league. In my opinion, that shows you the biggest difference in how Minnesota builds their team, and Green Bay builds theirs. Minnesota goes for Impact in whichever Direction they go FA, Draft, Trades, and makes a point of have solid lines on both sides of the ball. Green Bay just doesn't seem to, and that to me is why you end up with an average team.Comment

GB supposedly goes for best player available. The Raji pick was very surprising to me knowing they were moving to the 3-4, especially with the most talented player in the draft sitting there waiting.Originally posted by chain_gang
Hard to argue that either would have an impact to this point, but Crabs has done more in significantly less time than Raji. I think anyone would have a very hard time that Raji has been anything but an disappointment so far.Comment

The Vikings ignored the most important position on the field and now have a competitive team because Brett Favre fell into their laps to band aid the problem. If I were a Viking fan I don't think I'd be pleased with the strategy of leaving a huge void at QB in case a HOFer wants to unretire and take the controls for a year of being football relevant.70% of the Earth is covered by water. The rest is covered by Al Harris.Comment

Do you think they were trying to leave it as a void? I mean they brought in a QB every years since Chilly's been here, they just missed on the right QB. Chilly thought he drafted his future and he was obviously wrong and at least he had the nuts to move on and grab Brett.Comment

I guess we would have probably had this same discussion though if Rodgers didn't slip all the way to #24. Yes we took Brohm and Flynn the other year, but the Vikings have taken Jackson, Booty, brought in Sage, and others. They were still a playoff team, without Favre. Who also may make them a legit contender will also help the QB's they have on their current roster. I don't think they ignored it, but yeah if they don't have Favre they're not a legit super bowl contender this year, and they probably don't sweep Green Bay this year.Comment

By that logic, the Pack tried to fill their voids too, they just missed on the right guys...Originally posted by g4orce

Perfectly said, not good enough. And if we are "trying" to fill our voids as you're saying, then I'll start the fire Ted Thompson banter now as he has failed then.Comment

Woodson is turning into Favre in the way in his last years in GB. You always heard Favre say that he wants to win now, wants us to go after people, improve the roster.
Woodson is started to grumble a bit this year too. He knows he he has at most 3 really damn good years left at best before he starts to really drop off, so he wants to win now. This roster isn't built to win now. Yeah, we did well in 2007 because we won a lot of games we had no business winning, many times because Favre lifted us off the ground and willed us to win. The defense over performed at times, and we ended up beating teams we should have. Vikings at the dome, chargers, denver, heck even KC who was a bad team we should of lost. Yet, we won them all. In the playoffs... we had a really favorable matchup out the gate. Seattle was worse then we were, it wasn't really cold but it was cold enough to snow, and 30 degree weather, snow falling, lambeau... yeah we win. Next week we played the giants, who were the better club then us at the time.
2007 is one of those anomaly years. A fluke, if you would. We had the right bounces a few times, the defense made a few stops that were uncharacterisitic of them, and our QB produce some Game winning plays. It's pretty telling that since that season, the packers have only beaten two teams that had a winning record going in to the game they played them in.
That's a REALLY telling sign that something just isn't working.Comment

It wasn't that long ago we were ridiculing Chilly and the way the team was run....to high a cost for 69 and such.....
