The mighty Vikings, led by diva Brett Favre, dropped their second game in a row, their third of the last four, to a Bears team they had humbled much earlier in the season. They have shot them selves in the foot first, for home team advantage in the NFC playoffs(the Saints get that), and now have probably done so for #2 seed(is that shot themselves in two feet).
All the Eagles have to do is beat the Cowboys(go Eagles) in their final game and they get the #2 seed. No bye week then. Even the Cardinals have a shot at that seed if they win and both the Eagles and Vikings lose.
It looks like that little dust-up between Favre and Childress that finally boiled over last week is wearing down the Vikings. I’m sorry for the rest of the team, and their fans, but, as the pair “sold their souls”, so to speak, for that elusive Super Bowl championship, I’m not real sympathetic to them.
They could still win of course. Unless they can find that edge they seem to have lost, it won’t happen though.
As long as the Chargers make the Super Bowl, or at least win a playoff game or two, I’ll be a happy camper. For some reason I just can’t get very excited about the NFC, maybe because my to favorite teams there are the 49ers and Cardinals, but I am hoping the Saints go to the Big Game, I’d like to see a Rivers vs. Brees Super Bowl.
I hope the Saints can get back their edge. I’m not surprised to see the Vikings start to slide. It’s happened before.
The only time I still get slightly excited about football is when the Vikings are in the playoffs, but they haven’t had a quarterback I really admired since Joe Kapp. Of course, neither has anyone else.
Happy New Year, Randy!
