Comments for Kick Ass Offense http://www.kickassoffense.com The Trials & Tribulations of Minnesota Vikings Coach Brad Childress Sat, 17 May 2008 07:19:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.6 Comment on Fire Brad!! by manny http://www.kickassoffense.com/about/#comment-9828 Tue, 23 Oct 2007 05:54:24 +0000 http://www.kickassoffense.com/about/#comment-9828 The Pep Boys gotta go. Zygi & Spielman I can wait on. But Childress must go, now! I have no tolerance left for this guy. Can't the Vikes "just end the season" (JETS) without a head coach? Hell, a life size cardboard cutout of the Chiller would be an improvement. They might still suck, only without the arrogance. The Pep Boys gotta go. Zygi & Spielman I can wait on.

The Peterson pick was great value. He could easily take rookie of the year honors, and I liked the remainder of this year's draft a lot. Last year's draft was clownish by comparison, with Cook and Jackson considered by consensus to be 2 of the biggest reaches of the entire draft. I have nothing against these players, they could very well work out, but huge value was thrown away in taking them where they were picked. That draft was run by Childress and Fran Foley, not Spielman. It was also on Childress and Foley's watch that Nate Burleson was allowed to walk with no compensation. Not a huge mistake, perhaps, but given the state of the receiving corps, it was unquestionably stupid. They could have signed him to a reasonable offer sheet; he was a RESTRICTED free agent. Stupid. As to taking advantage of the talent that IS there, that is all on Mr. Kick Ass offense, Brad Childress, who is now well on his way to taking a 9-7 Tice playoff team right to the top of the draft. The "soft" part of the schedule is over, and anyone who looks at it objectively will not be able to find more than perhaps 2 games left on the schedule in which the Vikings will be the favorite, barring a total about face in the offense. The complete ineptitude of the current "kick ass" offense, if left unchanged, should be the deal breaker on keeping Childress. I don’t think Spielman can be blamed for the current state of affairs.

Thank-you to the organizers of this site on behalf of once very proud fans. I resonate with many of the previously stated comments and opinions. I just would add this: THE VIKINGS SHEER STUPIDITY IS ONLY SURPASSED BY THEIR CLUELESSNESS, LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM, AND INSULTING DENIAL OF REALITY AND FEIGNED CONFIDENCE!! CHILDRESS IS A LOSER AND AN EMBARRASSMENT AND IS CEMENTING OUR LEGACY AS A LAUGHABLY LOSING ORGANIZATION. FIRE HIM YESTERDAY!!!! It’s about time this site and focus has been established.

Childress is stuck with subpar players at very key positions, QB, #1-WR, LT, RT and RG. Was Chilly ever given the green light to go after tier one free agents?? I don't know. If he was, he did a horrendous job. Wade is a #2 or 3 receiver. Jackson is too green. Cook a 7th rd pick, picked in the 2nd rd, is a college center expected to play RT?? These are amateur moves. Rob Brzezinski has done a fantastic job with the structuring of contracts/cap to provide the room to go after tier one free agents. VP of player personnel Spielman has to be accountable for the lack of talent at those key positions as well as Chilly. In order to compete in the NFC, The offense needs a quality QB, a true #1 Wideout, and O-Line help. The Vikings defense could use an upgrade at CB, namely Asante Samuels (UFA). They would have a terrfic secondary with Gordon & Mcauley learning from two pro-bowl calibre players. The cap room is there, Wilf seems willing to spend by his recent actions (more coaches, upgraded facilities). Keeping Spielman and firing Chilly will change nothing IMHO. They both go and bring in Parcels as GM, or Cowher, Marty. Spielman and Childress are to blame for where the team is right now.

I have been a fan since the early 70's I live in Indiana and have traveled to many other states when I can to watch them play. But never again until he is gone. Childress brand of football reminds me of watching my Son's Jr High games. Actually they are more exciting they score once in a while. Play calling, personal choices, adjustments at half time. He does nothing right. I can not believe anyone even goes to the games. I feel sorry for season ticket owners. Hey Zygi don't worry about a new stadium if you keep backing Chilly you won't need one because you will not have any fans. My Sons have already abandon them. They say they are boring to watch. Which I am sure is what the media thinks also. So forget future exposure on Monday night or prime time football. It is a shame a once proud organization has sank so far. Fire him now do not pass go.

But still that laid the foundation and precedent that it can be done and if there ever was another situation that was warranted to firing your head coach in one year it was Brad Childress last year.

Why are the Vikings, a formerly great football team the rough equivalent of the Chicago Cubs? We get close (and we have not been there for a while) and then fall short. This bites the big one. The current "leadership" (if I am allowed very large leeway in using that term) sucks so bad that things that suck think they suck. PLEASE FIRE BRAD CHILDRESS!!!!!! Why, oh Dear Lord, Why!?!

Maybe Zygi will fire the Chiller sooner than later if attendance falls under a couple hundred. Please Viking fans in Minny, boycott this garbage.
