They are reporting that Brett Favre has a cut under his chin, but if you have seen the hit, and how Brett and the training staff reacted, and the way he was curled up on the cart with his eyes closed as they drove him off the field… There is a lot of speculation that Brett’s jaw was broken… Did we just see the end of this spectacular, exciting career?
I have mixed feelings on the thought of Brett finally going out out because of an injury… Yeah, I still have a soft spot for the Quarterback of my lifetime.
(Not at all condoning his recent off field trouble!)

Wow, Brett Favre was able to do a post game interview. Says he got 8 stitches and it was numb… but he can talk.

Vikes have been very disappointing this year. Farve has been getting hit nearly everytime he drops back. Offensive line and running backs have been entirely clueless on pass protection. Childress doesn’t know how to use Peterson or maybe Favre is changing out of runing plays.
But the most disappointing part of the Vikes this year is the complete disappearance of the pass rush.
I don’t know if Farve is done or not but the Vikes season is. Also the way they block for him they would be better off with a QB who can run for his life.

8 measly stiches will not keep him out. He’ll be back next week.
He won’t quit until he hits 300 consecutive starts. Even if he has to crawl out to the huddle.
…and what Jay sez.

MJM looks like you were right Farve is expected to start.
Of course his number one receiver just got cut.

Jay, I heard the ‘Moss cut’ thing on the way home yesterday. My jaw dropped. Even though I also saw Moss’s after-game presser on NFL Network, which was as the saying goes, “just a bit outside”, I never thought Childress would have the ‘nads to dump him.
Moss is a cancer and always has been. If you watched that game, he dogged it the whole time. And that will be his historical reputation.

You know what you are getting with Moss. A fantastically gifted wideout with a me first attitude. Yes he takes plays “off” but still he was drawing double coverage and allowing Harvin and Berrian (hands of stone, penalty magnet) to get open.
Now Berrian will be the No. 1 and Harvin will draw double coverage and neither will get open. Favre will be left wondering why the Metrodome has a grey roof after every pass.
I didn’t watch the interview but, saw a few of the clips from it. Deserved a fine from the Vikes, a tongue lashing from Childress and his team mates. Dumping him makes no sense unless you have given up on the season.
Childress in general has done a good job with getting the right players. He has done a poor job with game management. This year he let go some role players that would have helped. Traded for some that haven’t. Stood pat on a problematic offensive line and a defensive secondary that gets burned as often as toast.
However, the defensive line could have turned this around. Jared Allen has gone from 14 sacks while he was often double teamed to 0 when he has been stymied by just the left tackle. The Vikes-Packer game was the norm rather than the exception this year. Rogers had all day in nearly every passing situation. Farve was hit nearly everytime he threw.
Childress may be gone by Sunday.

Childress may be gone by Sunday.
That’s the rumor. Don’t see it happening though.
But back to Mossy: http://www.telegram.com/article/20101031/NEWS/101039959/1116
After that bit, *I* would have dumped him.
As I alluded to, a coach, a team, cannot have a cancer like that in the locker room. Childress, et. al. did the right thing. Moss’s talent isn’t exactly as awsome as it used to be. His attitude made whatever talent remaining expendable.
A-course, I never liked the punk in the first place, so…
Yeah, Allen… what’s up with that guy? Clifton cleaned his clock, bad knees and all.
All said and done, somebody is gonna win the division with a 9-7 or 8-8 record.
Could even be Detroit!

Moss is nothing but a punk, and that’s been the problem with the NFL for a long, long time. Too many punks out there dancing after tackling a guy who just ran 30 yards on them. Real football players like Herb Adderly, Willie Wood, Gale Sayers, and Willie Davis would look at these clowns with contempt. These punks wouldn’t have lasted one season in the old NFL assuming that anybody would have drafted them.

I agree even as a Vikes fan (I have suffered with this condition since their second Superbowl loss) that Moss is indeed a walking attitude problem. He was also the Vikes best receiver.
Childress should have known that when he traded for him. Trading for him only makes sense if you are trying to win the division, cutting him only makes sense if you have given up. If they have given up let Tavaris run the team and see if he has any future as a starter.
New England somehow managed to keep Moss in check for several years.
Allen has been whipped by every Tackle he has faced this year. I am thinking that the front four might manage double digit sacks this year, combined including backups.

Glenn, you forgot this guy this guy.
(my all-time favorite)

Rats. It was there, I swear!
THIS guy
November 3rd, 2010 at 2:18 pm
No, I didn’t forget him or the other great ones from the 60s. I picked the guys I did purposely. Those guys actually spoke the English language; didn’t load themselves down with all kinds of bling (except for their Super Bowl rings); they were winners - never dancers; they were disciplined football players - period.
