Vikings – Redskins

No need for a game preview this week. You know the Vikings are going to lose this one.

They're playing away from the Metrodome. And the game is outdoors and on grass. More importantly, the Vikings are playing terrible football.

Redskins 30 Vikings 14

Keep the bags packed, Leslie

If Vikings owner Zygi Wilf is going to base his decision on whether interim head coach Leslie Frazier gets the job permanently on wins and losses, Frazier is probably screwed.

A way with words

I'm pretty sure this is Brett Favre's last season and I'm positive it is his last Vikings season.

If he does retire, I'll miss his comments during press conferences. Most players are pretty careful with their words these days at these things. It makes for boring reading.

But Favre is different. He usually says what he feels. Like his mid-week press conference following he firing of Brad Childress where he talked about the Vikings now being able to simplify their offence a bit.

"I always say if I were a coach, which will never happen, I would be very simple and be more, 'They have to stop what you do.' You think those guys crack that book, go through all 500 pages, c'mon? You could hide a couple hundred dollar bills in there."

Access Vikings had more of Favre's comments on this matter in the following post.

Donovan McNabb

This topic never goes away.

However, Donovan McNabb is not having a good year in Washington. His quarterback rating is 76.1. His completion percentage is 57.5. He has also thrown more interceptions (12) than touchdowns (10).

And he is 34 going on 35. Certainly McNabb isn't the long-term answer to the Vikings quarterback problems. He might not even be the short-term answer.


While I'm on the subject of quarterbacks ....

This guy is also not the long-term answer at quarterback for the Vikings.

But this guy might be. If we can get him.
