Any other vikings fans POed

I know I am. Releasing Moss after 4 weeks is a joke. Childress is a joke.

I watched the MN/NE game and saw what Moss said. It wasn't disrespectful, especially considering he just came from the Pats. What he said was no different than any other player or coach complimenting the other team for playing a good game. Certainly not worth releasing him over it.

Now - let's see who scrambles to pick him up. I can think of a few teams on the cusp who could use another receiver.

For once - I actually don't think Moss did anything wrong.

He was released for giving up on a huge play.

I saw the game and immediately thought he gave up and could of caught that football, all he had to do is continue to run and stick out his hands.

IF he would of caught the football for a TD, Brett Favre would have never been injured...

Did he deserve to get cut? I don't know, but he should have been benched after that play.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Come on...we all see receivers give up on plays. They have this preconceived notion in their heads that if they're not the 1st or 2nd look from the QB that the ball is going somewhere else.

Favre's drama has been over the top. He got his bell rung and needed stitches, big deal.

You release one of the best receivers in the game simply because he gave up on a route? Nonsense.

There's gotta be more going on behind the scenes than we're aware of.

Perhaps the Child(ress) is already cleaning house knowing that next year he'll have a new QB and will have to rebuild in the off-season and free up the almighty-dollar.

Not only that he was interfered with and could have easily lost sight of the ball.

They knew what they were getting with Moss. 3rd round draft pick down the drain.

Reasons Minnesota is 2-5:

-Childress is trying to put the game on Farve instead of relying on AP.
-No Sidney Rice, Percy Harvin, or receivers.
-Jared Allen and the D-line is not performing at the same level as last year.
-Chester Taylor was huge for the Vikings, he was probably the best third down back in the league IMO.

Of course these are just my opinions.

Not signing Chester Taylor again was a huge mistake. You can really tell how much of an impact he had.

Moss has been giving up on plays and half running routes(on occasion) his entire career. This is well known. Moss didn't do anything he hasn't always done. The Viking's coaching staff should have been well aware of this before signing him.

So, either the coaching staff somehow didn't know this and they should have... making the coaching staff responsible.  Or, the coaching staff knew about his habits and signed him anyway, then cut him for these very same habits....making the coaching staff responsible.

If they cut Moss for being Moss, why the heck did they sign him in the first place?

There's no room on the short bus for Childress. Wade Phillips takes up three seats.

Nah - we're using them here in Dallas..... :D

Speaking of Dallas - I wonder if they'll pick up Moss...Cowboys have a penchant for stuff like that!

Football  'xperts are saying he's likely to go the Rams or Washington, but with McNabb being benched the Redskins might not be willing to take the chance.

There's a ton of teams that could use him, but Moss probably won't go to a team that's not heading for the playoffs, and there's teams that will simply avoid him like the plague.

So...Buffalo, Washington, St. Louis, Saints, Colts, maybe even the Jets?

Who knows.
