Moss Waived by Vikes!

[hoosier]

On Oct. 6th the sky was falling for us Packers fans. People were already writing off the season for us in favor of the Vikings after their "bold" move of trading for Randy Moss. Hah Hah hah hah.

I should go back and read the Moss to Vikings thread. According to the majority of you people the season was over. Maybe one day some of you will learn to step back from the ledge and let things play out before jumping to conclusions.

You people kill me. This Moss to Vikings thread is gold!

Don't climb up too high on that horse of yours. When you're right about something, the real dignity comes with being right quietly.

You know, generally that isn't my style. But a lot of you need to wake up to the reality of this season. I just wish I knew where the faith has gone for most Packer fans.

Was the Brett Favre split really that defining of a moment for our franchise and ourselves as fans?

[Bossman641]

Got to say I am thoroughly enjoying the Viking demise. The only way this could get any better is if Favre speaks out in favor of Moss. That’s not too much to ask is it?????

Thank God for Ted Thompson.

Tedi can bite me. He wants Chilly to take control and then when he does he rips him for it. How would he have preferred they handle Moss after his comments last night? I'm guessing he didn't say.

Waiving Moss Adds to the Mess in Minnesota
Moss adds to the mess in MinnesotaToday's move brings up more questions on Childress, Vikings

Goodbye, Randy Moss.

That is the message—which was first reported by the NFL Network’s Michael Lombardi—sent today to the wide receiver from the Vikings. That 3rd round pick that Minnesota gave up to the Patriots? Good for four weeks of running routes with QB Brett Favre. 13 receptions, 174-yards, 2 TDs—and a 1-3 record. A wasted move? For sure, and despite Moss’ post game comments on Sunday, it just leads to more questions about this Vikings team under Brad Childress.


ICON
Time to start asking questions about the direction of Childress' Vikings.
Minnesota is buried in the NFC North with a 2-5 record. Their 41-year old QB could hardly walk off the podium after the loss to the Packers and was taken off on a cart in Sunday’s loss to New England after taking a helmet to the chin. And, let’s not forget the opinion Childress had on Favre’s decision making for the media just last week.

Let’s be honest here. It is hard enough to win on Sunday’s in the NFL when you don’t have drama in the locker room, out at practice and in every single press conference held in the team facility. In Minnesota, it just adds to the distractions for a football team that is loaded with talent. But, when you stack the losses on top of all the talk, it becomes magnified. And, I have to wonder if--or when--that locker room is going to turn on Childress.

NFL seasons are very fragile and I have been in a situation where the team basically shut out the head coach. Back in 2003 with Steve Spurrier in Washington. After a 3-1 start, we limped to the end of the season with a 5-11 record. Spurrier lost the locker room, and when that happens, the season starts to spiral out of control.

Part of winning in the NFL when it comes to the head coach is managing egos—pro egos. Schemes, game plans, how you script practice, training camp, etc. are all a part of a coaching in this league. But building that chemistry and working with names like Favre, Moss, Adrian Peterson and so on plays a major role. Childress has failed in that department and the 2-5 record—along with the player’s post game comments—speak to that. Have to find a way to blend that talent and make it work as the head coach.

We will find out tomorrow where Randy Moss plays his next game in the 2010 season, as I doubt he will pass through waivers without someone scooping him up—because the overall talent is still there to see.

However, for the Vikings and Childress, this looks like a sinking ship in Minnesota.

I fully realize this sounds like spiteful Favre hate, but I'm convinced that it's not....

Brett Favre is responsible for all of this.

[Brandon494]

Whats even funnier are the fans who wanted Favre to stay and wanted TT to trade for Moss.

[denverYooper]

The plot thickens.

Not all in Vikes org were on board with Moss move. Stay tuned. This could still take another twist and turn

[vince]

FWIW, Jason LaCanfora of NFL Network is reporting...

So, while Chilly told the team he's releasing Moss, Vikings have yet to inform Moss or his agent of his release. I'm hearing not all in the organization were on board with the move. Stay tuned. This could still take another twist and turn.

[Brandon494]

Honestly signing Moss would make sense. We are missing a deep threat and a big red zone target with Finley out. Sucks it wont happen though.
