No. We came close to winning against a good team so that's good enough.

Im wondering how playing right with one of the best teams in the NFL warrants that kind of change?   Same ole same ole by some on this board...

Close is like kissing your cousin. It feels good, but then what?

If close was good enough, we wouldn't be watching Favre in a burple dress right now.

If you are going to apply standards, they apply EVERY time, not just when you want to feel good about being the first runner-up loser.

Just asking the question UW, no need to be abrasive.

Just keep the bar set low, that way they will not let you down!

At the end of the first half I was ready to fire the whole staff and move the team to Canada.  All in all, the team played its way back into the game after a horrible start. 

Can some of the play be put on McCarthy's shoulders?  Absolutely.  Our margin of error was razor thin against the Vikes.  And unfortunately, we made too many mistakes to win. 

I guess I have to swallow my pride and say the Vike are just a better team.

Well...how bout WINNING one of those games?  Seriously, is getting close to winning enough for some of you?  When is this team going to beat good teams?  When are they going to win at home as they should?  When are the results going to match the press clippings?

we dont need a coach other than an OL coach (maybe)

we need a couple of better OL, on the field, we need to quit saving a weeks check and put players on the field

In your opinion, do you think MM is capable of winning a Super Bowl? 

we have momentum...........scoring points and proceed to kick to Harvin who brings it back in scoring position.

What were they thinking????

Tonahawk is right!

What would a lineman or a DL guy in FA do for this team?

Unfortunately...I don't think so. If those who think because we "hung" with Minny that's good enough...That's part of the problem. The standards are so low that because we only lost by 12 or whatever it was....that's now pretty good. I wonder if those same people who are satisfied were satisfied with Ray Rhodes or Mike Sherman. Those 2 didn't last but for some unkown reason MM hangs around. and that boob TT.

Can somebody explain to my why....TT is allowed to continue with an obviously failing plan year in and year out and excuses are made year in and year out......Why MM is allowed to continue with sub par play calling, penalty riddled games week in/week out...year in/year out and again there are those who think he's a good coach.....And ARod (don't take this the wrong way I like the kid and think he has great potential) is allowed to hold the ball week in and week out and by his own admission (someone posted not too long ago) said he doesn't think he holds the ball too long.  Anyone see a pattern here? Nobody thinks there is a problem. TT doesn't see a problem or he would change accordingly.....MM doesn't see a problem he continues to allow the the same crap every week....And ARod doesn't think he holds the ball too long. Sounds like we are well on our way to being a contender!  The ignorance of people is such a great source of amusement!!! And while I'm ranting.......... Murphy is a BONIFIED Baffoon!!
