Just saw this on PFT.

I hate to see injuries... but they happen.
This should help out the Vikes a bit on Monday.

Thats not gonna help but I wasn't overly concerned anyways, thats what we pay Steve Hutchison for.

god darnit.
the saints are totally banged up on offense.
now they lose a player on a defense that already is suspect.
if we dont get this done this week we might as well just fold up the tents.
if we dont come out attacking this week, or chose to kickoff to start the game, im gonna snap.
and i understand new orleans has a pretty good offense, but geez louise, colstons out, shockeys out, pattens out, duece is just coming back from his injury.
how bout our highly touted defense shutting them down?
this is a make or break game for obvious reasons cuz you dont wanna go to 1-4, but if you cant win under these conditions and matchups whats left to get excited about.
we have to get this done and go on a 3-0 run against nfc teams here going into the bye

As long as Brad Childress is our coach, we'll lose regardless.

I agree we got to get this one no doubt, no excuses not to win this game, but I feel that way about all the games so far.

I love your optomism... but to be quite honest Chidress has no control over wether we decide to fumble the game away or draw continuous penalties. We can certainly win no doubt my mind.

i feel that.
its very frustrating cuz i do think we are good and have talent.
but everytime i remember that childress is our coach i get drained of any kinda confidence in winning.
i just keep hoping that the talent just overcomes him, pretty much how san diego has been winning the last 2 years cuz i still think norv turner is terrible.
where a team is just too good to screw up even if you are childress.
problem is we are running outta time for it to matter this season.
we gotta turn the season around starting this week.

Exactly, he simply won't have the team prepared.
