San Fran to fire Nolan.

We should consider getting in on the race for a good coach early on. St. Louis changed coach and are now 2-0 and look very different from what they looked like 4 games ago.

I've liked Nolan, especially his suits; just extremely classy in my opinion. BUT he wasn't their answer and he had his chances. Sounds like a similar situation, minus sweet suits and a mustache

If the rams can do it....

why can't we?

Rams fire Linehan. I saw that coming for a while now. So the Rams do what we should do. I think its a smart move for them especially. They really weren't going to go anywhere this year, why not bring someone in who can take them somewhere and give the entire organization a fresh perspective and allow for the new HC scheme to be implemented. This obviously will probably take some time but I bet that come the start of next season the Rams are a totally different organization than the one this season.

Seriously Zygi lets get our thinking hats and pants on and a) make the decision which is in the best LONG term interests of your organization and perhaps b) make the decision that will best benifit your hard earned dollars which seem to have been spent on some particularly rubbish talent (ala Tapeh, Wade, etc). (I'm perhaps giving wade a hard time but lets face it, we shouldn't have paid for what we have gotten).

Olympics

FSUViking — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 05:21:33 -0000

Just wanted to know what people thought about the Olympics so far, been watching alot more of them than I usually every do, not really sure why but I am pretty hooked on them this time round. Also, the sprinters in the olympics are soooooooo fast, how come none of them every try to make the jump to the NFL, surely a couple of them could make it, if anything they could be Devin Hester returners.

P.S. Go Tyson Gay and my boy from FSU, Walter Dix.

Farve traded to the JETS

All i can really muster up is this..........

Quoted from: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/trainingcamp08/news/story?id=3522971

Traded Value:

"According to the NFL Network, if Favre takes 50 percent of total snaps with the Jets in 2008, the fourth rounder becomes a third-round pick. If he gets 70 percent of the snaps and the Jets make the playoffs, it becomes a second-round pick; and if he gets 80 percent of snaps and the Jets make the Super Bowl, it becomes a first-round pick."

Minn poison pill:

"The NFL Network is also reporting that the Packers took great pains to ensure that Favre would not be traded to the Vikings by inserting a "poison pill" in the deal. If Favre were to be traded to Minnesota, the Jets would have to surrender three first-round picks to Green Bay."

More PA this year?

FSUViking — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 08:38:14 -0000

Ok so we know that we are amazing at the run, so does everyone else. Anyone think that they will try and incorporate more PA into the offense this year? If they do I really really really hope that Jackson worked on his throwing off balance, it was bad enough seeing it every week without the retards at ESPN bringing it up every 3 seconds when we played Washington.

Thoughts?

P.S. I think its hilarious that the Pack are filing tampering charges. Someone file a charge against thier vomit-inducing team colors.... seriously.

K.Robinson released from Pack

Read this over at NFL.com.

Wonder how he is going to handle this news. If I were to take a wild guess, I'd say a little bit of glug glug and vroom vroom accompanied by the ever gentle sounds of 15 Cop cars chasing him.

Boy am I glad we got rid of him when we did.

Anyone think he gets picked up?

Seems like a nice guy, pretty funny too.

Well I have to make this 75 words long. So what if Booty looks better than TJ during camp and preseason? Would it be stupid to go out with him as the #1? Do you think TJ deserves a shot regardless?

I really hope TJ can come around this season, because if he cant his ass is gone next season.

A recap of PFW Predictions

FSUViking — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 19:34:27 -0000

"In 2006, Pro Football Weekly's "best bets" prediction feature went 31-34-2. In 2007, the PFW "best bets" went 32-36. For two consecutive years, Pro Football Weekly's "best" predictions have finished behind flipping a coin. And for an extra $89.95 above the subscription price, PFW offers online access to a "handicapper's inner circle." Written by the same staff whose "best" bets do worse than random chance!"

lol @ PFW?

What if...

FSUViking — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 21:59:00 -0000

What if we continue the way we are and end up in the top 5 of the draft. Do you think the Vikings would ditch Brad and perhaps try and snag Bill Cowher? I honestly don't have any faith in Childress' offense. We've given it time, and well, it sucks. What do you guys all think?

Take a look at what he says about us, I can def. see where he is coming from but at the same time I am hopefully that the shoes will be filled by our WR corps. We can use the 1-2 running game and let our younger WRs get into the groove and hopefully with TW getting some glasses he can catch now. What are your guys' thoughts on what was said in the article?
