Chilly to get Contract Extension

[Scott Campbell]

The window is short if you believe the Vikings won't be in town in a couple of years. I'm in MN this week, and the folks I've asked are dead set against using any public money for a stadium - despite the bandwagon year they're having.

That's a different window. And what are you doing hanging with the cheap bastards?

Getting stuck with dinner bills. I kid you not.

[Smidgeon]

As a Viking fan:

Obviously.

So this window is only short if you feel Favre is holding it open by himself. Won last year without him. And who knows how long he plays if this team can continue on.

Won last year without him? They were 3-4 at their bye and didn't start on a real win streak (more than 2 in a row) until week 12. If you think for a moment that kind of winning is comparable to this year's record of 8-1 with their one loss being to the reigning Super Bowl champions, then you're doing more than just sipping the Purple Kool-Aid.

Not comparing. It is a trend up though. And without Favre. 10-6 is pretty good then if they were 3-4 at the bye. This season continues the trend and happens to include Favre.

I say your "trend" is because of Favre not in spite of him.

I say he is part of the continuance of the trend and not the sole reason. Was not trying to imply it was in spite of him.

with Jump Pass in there you lose at least 3 more games.

Which could still have continued the trend up. We'll never know for sure.

I think Favre gave the team a large jump that they wouldn't have otherwise taken. Since this is all speculation anyway, I accept your disagreeance as reasonable grounds.

And I can agree on that jump as well. They will be favored in every game the rest of the way. And short of significant injury should go at least 13-3. Definitely think that above 12-4 would be above TJack level no question.

He's the ultimate paradox: He get's coaches a long extension then gets them fired after a couple more years...

Fired and fined.

Yep, look at what he did for McStubby. Got him a big raise after 2007 and now is helping get him canned in 2009.
