Moss to the Vikings?

[mission]

Good friends and even 'just' friends hang out with each other, go out and have a beer, their wives go shopping together, they play cards together, whatever...

I'd venture a guess that they've never done anything together and up until yesterday, probably haven't even communicated outside of normal pleasantries.

I mean -- Randy Moss is what he is. Favre is a good ol' boy from Mississippi. Not exactly a lot in common.

Anyway it's not a big deal, just pointing out your girlfriend-like dramatics. :P

Re: Deal is official

lol shut the hell up......Okay they don't love each other, but I don't see what is over the top in saying they are good friends and will destroy the league. I got in this same agreement about Moss three years ago and I still believe Moss is top talent. Moss and Favre will destroy the league and they are good friends.

Are you sure? I thought the story back then was that they didn't really even know each other, but had a mutual interest in playing together. I could be "misremembering" that, however.

Couldn't have been too strong on Moss' part, because he nixed the deal when GB insisted on a two year contract and NE was OK with 1 year.

I mean they didn't sign a friends contract or something like that so its not something set in stone. I don't think they have to go get a drink after a game to be considered friends. I think you are way off with them “not really knowing each other in 2007.” But reading articles through the years and watching their interaction after games and how they talk about each other in the media you get the impression that they are friends.

Way Moss refused Green bays offer in 2007 is really another discussion. Favre clams the packers treated him like crap and gave him demands and thats why he didn't come. No one probably will ever really know what went down with 100% certainty. A lot of factors go into trading a player to another team than just simply being friends with the Qb of the other team. If you are claming that a strong friendship would have overcame all other factors like his contract demands for example than I just don’t buy that.

I readily acknowledged that I might be remembering the story wrong about Favre and Moss. But, competitors exchange pleasantries after contests all the time, without really knowing each other or being friends. I think of friends as people who have contact away from forced contacts at work, etc. Those I consider acquaintances.

I was going by Brandt's description of what happened in the negotiations and why Moss didn't end up in GB. I doubt that Favre knows the details of the negotiation.

Re: Deal is official

I doubt that Favre knows the details of the negotiation.

Same goes for you and me. That is why I said the Moss trade not going through doesn’t necessarily mean that they are not friends. I guess you are right in that I can't possibility know if they are friends or not b/c we don't know much about their personal lives. Just as you can't really clam they are not friends either.

It doesn't matter anyways b/c it has come to my attention that my original post was more like an over the top girlfriend lol.

So now I agree that they don't love each other and they may or may not be friends, but I still think they will destroy the league.

[woodbuck27]

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 Farve 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'.

Yes ' of course commander ' but you should get ' the real scoop ' too skip.

I have no idea why the Pats would do this. This is bad news for us though..

It'd be worse news if he went to the Bears.

Ahh Scott. Your mistaken. That move by 'the Vikings' was simply put.

Brialliant ! Now we get to enjoy in Minnesota what TT tossed away for Packer Nation. Well (maybe) you'd be excluded from that 'enjoy' part?

Who gets 'the last laugh' Scott? You or I?

Why would you laugh if the Vikings do well and the Packers falter? I don't get it.

As to your original post you have a coach/GM who has won the Super Bowl multiple times in the last decade and you have a coach/GM who have never won anything, who's fooling who here? Trust me, if BB didn't think he was getting the better end of this trade RM would still be in NE.

It's going to be some fun for Vikings fans to watch. Lights out take em' down HARD offense. Favre to Moss = Many TOUCHDOWNS over the next two or three seasons.

Lots of wins for Favre and MOSS!! A match made in NFL football heaven. Finally ... as an NFL fan. I get to enjoy that with such intense pleasure.

The Packers Vs Vikings stuff. I leave that up to TT and MM to handle. That's beyond my realm of deepest understanding.

[woodbuck27]

With Moss in the lineup the Vikes win the North...hands down unless Harris comes back and does NOT miss a step...do you really see this happening?

I would not crown their @sses yet......lol....Sydney Rice still might not make it back and if he doesn't that would really hurt them. Things are just not clicking for the Vikes this year and it would not surprise me if the breaks don't fall their way this year

That teams managment and ownership just proved to me that you can and must seize the moment and take 'the bull by the horns' B. That's what wins in Pro Sports. Guts...Gutsy moves pay BIG RETURNS.

Too bad we don't have a similiar mentality in our front office.

I'm reminded as I post this B. of the name of one of Snow Whites pals...Sleepy. You snooze ...YOU LOSE!

Once apon a time..... errrr TT !?
