Moss to the Vikings?

[pbmax]

Its like Andre Rison during the Packers Super Bowl season. Except the only position that isn't dropping like flies on the team now is WR.

[Scott Campbell]

Seems like a win-win to me. Even Viking hater Adam Schein is saying this is an outstanding move for Minnesota and a head scratcher for New England.

It's win-win for me anyway.

I was just going to bump that quote but felt I had bumped enough!

[Patler]

This might sum it up the best:

As Silver quoted one unnamed Viking saying, "I think it's all or nothing. It's either the missing piece and we go all the way, or Moss takes on Chilly and this thing blows up by the end of October. There's no C grade on this one. It'll either be an A or an F."

I wish I knew who the "unnamed Viking" is in that quote. He hit it on the head, even to the day!

[mngolf19]

I think we all saw this coming if they were to keep losing. I imagine a couple more losses and something even more drastic may happen. What that is? Reversing my previous position on Chilly's status, I think Zyg will fire his ass in an attempt to alleviate the fan's ire and to continue his modus operandi that he wants and will do whatever he thinks will help the team in the future.

Who goes first: Chilly or Wade Phillips?

Well I was right about something big.

[mngolf19]

This is just general thoughts to no one specifically.

What's going to happen if Favre gets knocked out and TJack is the QB? You think Moss will be happy about that? Is Moss really going to be happy without a contract extension? If Favre keeps struglling with a bad ankle and the Vikings go heavy to the run with AP is Randy going to be happy not being the focal point of the O? When Rice comes back is Moss going to be happy sharing balls? Does having Moss on the team hurt the development of Rice and Harvin? What if MN doesn't make the Super Bowl (You have Favre and Moss added to team and can't get it done)?

I think Minnesota upgraded its offense but are the question marks worth the reward?

Questions I asked 4 weeks ago!

All could be answered with one thing, are they winning? They aren't therefore...

Isn't that the whole point? Signing Moss didn't guarantee any victories so all of those questions were relavant.

Well none of those matter if they're losing because he'd become a headache and they'd let him go after the season(or sooner). If they're winning, no one complains.

[steve823]

Lol. Good, let them give up more draft picks for a player past his prime. He should help the already struggling Vikes implode even more.

Oh and this is a LOT better then them getting Vincent Jackson, who has a long future.

Thank you for filling my wish Randy.

So maybe I'll still be right?

[Scott Campbell]

That is true but they wont NEED Rice when they have Moss he would just be a bonus. Moss deep, Shianco middle of the field, Harvin like a pinball and AP running like a truck with a VERY good defense...crown em.

Favre will have to be much better that he has been in the first three games. Their O-line hasn't been anything special either.

I'm not saying that adding Moss would not be a huge get for the Vikings and it would make me extremely nervous but like most of the teams in the NFL this year the Vikings have more than one concern. Adding Moss doesn't guarantee anything.

Adding Randy Moss gurantees nothing IMO, but alot!

A BIG STORY deserves a BIG Post !

Having # 84 back in a Viking jersey is huge for that team and it's fans.

Gurantees ??

It gurantees that Brett Favre finally gets his desire met. FAVRE hooking up with a tremendously talented WR again! We did not want that. TT didn't want that in the scenario as it now exists. Funny how this story may come back to haunt TT forever?

A Gurantee?

It gurantees that Favre and the Vikings have arguably the best WR in the NFL. PackerTimer ! With the Vikings getting Randy Moss. That will gurantee two results, for sure.

a) A ' smile ' on Brett Favre's mug.

b) Then, ' a bigger smile ', on Brett Favre's mug.

Randy Moss is ' a lights out ' terrific WR. An extremely talented/gifted WR. If your missing 'that fact', the last three seasons ( anyone ) , your in need of some sort of adjustment. I suggest boxer shorts. If Randy Moss gets on the exact same page as Favre? Then look the hell out. The word that comes to mind is 'explosive'. The words . . . 'explosive combination'.

Brett Favre passing to Randy Moss ! Routes. Slants inside, down the middle and pulling up to come back to the ball and leaping catch's and hooking routes, and down the hash marks and long catch and running routes and deep !!! Touchdown! ...... Alot!

A brand new start for Randy Moss gets a real break on ' the Vikings ' team. A real good change is as good as any wonderful rest.

Brad Childress is no Bill Belichick in terms of ' laying on the wood ' as Belichick can; or sticking it to anyone that steps out of line or gets the least bit disruptive. That result too often in NE was ' in the Bill Belichick doghouse '.

How pleased is one of, ' our an almost ' absentee poster Rastak !? Rastak was in for a visit about ten days ago. Rastak has got to be so very happy to learn of this news?

Why?It's huge news! Impacting news !!

Do any Packerrats, realistically looking at this news, like it? If it doesn't concern you? Weigh in with all the present adversity. How well or high, is your balloon flying today?

This news isn't good for us! I might say that it ... SUCKS !!

Viking fans love it!

They now forsee some relief. Learning that Randy Moss is returning to ' his NFL roots'. It's unbelievable, as I see it's potential in terms of potential positive impact for that teams results. Especially the way that Brett Favre can utilize a receiver with the talent and pizzazz of Randy Moss. That 'the Vikings' managed to pull this blockbuster move off is very impresive.

I had them, very possibly out of it by November. Now at least they 'likely' manage to hang in there and get to an easier schedule, after surviving these next four weeks. If they come out of that portion of the schedule at 3W-4L? They're still good.

Something else I'm impressed with. Is this team has the power and motivation to 'at least try' to make a real move that's calculated to make a real difference.

Our teams GM, Ted Thompson !

I look for him to make a rather significant move very soon or his ass should be grass. Alot of Packer Nation eyes will be on TT now. The pressure is on Ted! This man is like a glacier. Slow ! Really ... really... slow ! Slow to get ' it ' done. Sometimes I wonder. Does TT really know what 'it' is?

Green Bay Packer fans. All of us ! Should desire a lot more than just making the playoff rounds anf bowing out. WE need to want or desire 'a Super Bowl Championship '. The same way Brett Favre always has. The way 'the Vikings Owner' and AP and Randy Moss and the rest of the Vikings will demonstrate that they do want and will pay 'the price for that want.

Do we have to wait nearly another 3 decades? Even ' the great Ted Thompson ' can have only so much rope. He's not supposed to tie himself up with it.

Three decades and maybe a longer wait !? Even Ted Thompson and/or Mike Murphy won't be around that long.

Randy Moss back in a Vikings jersey. It appears like a winning move to me, I also know how apppearances can turn out. In reality it's ' a wait and see '. Randy Moss ' can only be ' one, very big piece of the balance and whole that it takes.

Maybe, some really sick or rapid fan will take matters in hand and go all ape shit on Randy Moss and / or Brett Favre. I can't see Favre or Moss getting a great reception come Monday night in New York. (JETS)

There's also huge games coming up ' with us ', and ' the Pats ' for the Vikings ' on the road '. Not that that's any significant factor as we've witnessed the NFL game results this season to date.

Who's going to win a game. Maybe? Just flip a coin. Analysis has been extremely challenging. Any team can blow any game at home or play over their head on the road and win. I base that on a personal observation and results to date, Results that are challenging me moreso, then in the past in the Pro Pick'em.

Back to Randy Moss. Viking fans love it !

Other thoughts:

With the state of 'the Vikings' receiving corps and their #1 TE Shiancoe and Favre's only real threat on ' the limp ' and questionable for week five as I saw it two days ago. Besides that. An ON and a ' on and off ' Percy Harvin. V. Shiancoe is or was on ' the limp ' and possibly out for the MNF game Vs the Jets. Given that adversity or take that away.

The Vikings couldn't have made a more inspiring move for Brett Favre.

I can almost imagine reading 'the hate posts' now from those here, that havn't a clue about ' the karma ' factor. We don't need anymore bad luck Packerrats.

OK. So the Vikings got the star WR they needed so badly and ' all that ' right at this time of their need and adversity and their most challenging difficulty of schedule coming up over these next four weeks to boot.

Bill Belichick ??

Bill Belichick gave up a sweet gift to ' the team ' we need to overcome to win the NFCN. and 'only for a third'? When has he been so gratuitious? I don't get that.

Ohh! Is it this?

Maybe Belichick's trying to impress ' the NFL Commissioner ' as the ratings will be through the roof come this Monday night when ' the Jets ' host Brett Favre and Randy Moss (finally together) and ' the horse' Adrian Petersen and 'killer' Allen and ' the Big and Bad Williams Boys' and ...and ...and ! and ' the sleeping so far this season ', Minnesota Vikings. We were aware that for weeks Randy Moss was unhappy in his limited use in the Pat's offensive scheme.

Did any of you imagine that Brett Favre would get ' his wish list card ' fully punched?

The Vikings havn't looked all that great in terms of their offensive line and that fact may prevail. That result, sit Brett Favre on his ass more than he likes to prevent him setting up any decent play flow.

Looking at Randy Moss in Minnesota from just the factor he will add positively, to slow down the tide against the Vikings, Just, isn't a good thing for us. That move by Bill Belichick sucks for the Green Bay Packers BIG TIME.

This is a major coup for the Minnesota Vikings and should inspire both Randy Moss and Brett Favre. Neither one of those fellas needs inspiring. That combination plus all the other Viking tools should give them a realistic ' wish and a prayer chance ' to survive the next four weeks of their schedule. Moss's acquisition by the Vikings could mean bad news for all but the very best opposition 'D's.

Damn that Favre if he can't find a way.

He'll play another year now, if he doesn't get to and win the Super Bowl this season. Give any good man enough chances and the law of averages prevails. Brett Favre is a good man inspite of what many here at Packerrats judge differently.

Geee! Favre and certainly now. With ' his man ' Moss in the fold means a solid chance for another season of him wearing the ' Purple and Gold '.
That trade may cause Peyton Manning to shrug a wee bit. He may be thinking. Will Favre ever retire?

My next thought. Will Randy Moss be on the receiving end of Favre's 500th TD pass? Favre's next TD pass will be his 500th.

Yup ! Brett and Randy sharing supper.

How did that get 'to reality' Packerrats?

GO ' Ted Thompson ' ... GO!!

DO ... SOMETHING PLEASE !!

DO SOMETHING 'REALLY POSITIVE' for 'OUR TEAM's'... 'REAL CHANCES'.

Bump, for good times.
