God, I hate Brad Childress. He makes me crazy. Even up 14 to 3, with seconds to go in the half and the ball in our possession, he manages to scare the hell out of me. We didn't get burned, but really, why the hell would you give Dallas the ball back like that? There was no god damn reason to do what he did! It was just a silly risk! He really is the turd floating in the punch bowl of this Vikings' season.

BeoPuppy:
On the other hand, the vikings are up 14 points so, you know, he must be doing something right ...

Alex C:
He is like Andy Reid 2.0-- he is good at teaching an offense and he apparently works well with the front office when it comes to picking young players who should be able to fit into his offensive system. It is clear that he understands a lot about football. But with that said, he sucks at clock management and he also might as well light his challenge flags on fire before every game for all the good they do him. His teams always seem to be slow to make adjustments as well, since it's very rare that the Vikings play better in the second half of a game than in the first. Plus, you have to keep in mind that Leslie Frazier basically runs that defense from the ground up, so it's hard to give Childress much credit on that end, since Frazier is pretty likely to be a head coach himself at some point.

Basically, what I'm saying here is that Brad Childress sometimes randomly takes things away from the table, and when he does so it tends to be an inexplicable and dramatic fashion. For all his virtues as a teacher, once game day rolls around I never feel safe.

BeoPuppy:
Still, congratulations, your team won in spectacular fashion.

I enjoyed this game. Good football and seeing Romo in trouble again and again really made my weekend. It might be trivial but I really think he's a bit of a pratt. Anyway ... Jets - Bolts next.

Alex C:
I was actually pretty confident in this game for two closely intertwined reasons:

1. Vegas set this game to be close.

2. Everyone I knew seemed to be all over the Cowboys since they looked good last week and because they finished the season strong.

And as we all know, Vegas routinely fleeces the hell out of people. The public is often wrong and it often seems that the popular favorite just about always ends up going down in flames in this situation and Vegas ends up making eighty kajillion dollars. Was that a really well thought out logical reason to be down on the Cowboys? Nah. But sports isn't really about logic anyway, so I felt pretty good. Honestly, I feel a bit like order has been upheld in the universe-- it's too early for the Vikes to really choke yet anyway.
