Looks like Nantz and Simms were wrong. It's 2 losses in row for NE.

How about those Raiders.

Thriller in WAS. Your jinx worked for awhile 34 but D. Brees worked his magic and with his confidence maybe the best QB today besides P. Manning.

That midget prick kicker in WASH cost me my confidence pool this week. I was the only entry out of 40 players to pick the 'skins, and I woud've been sitting pretty.

It was a moral loss.

Anybody who can make the Bears "rushing attack" look that good is just God awful!

Im damn glad they only can get one official loss per week or they would be 1-20 right now.

I am almost sick to my stomach after enduring that brutal loss.

The Redskins are losers, and it starts at the top and goes right through the HC Zorn. Losing attitude, they lose at the ends of halves, at the ends of games. If Gibbs were the coach, or f*** if Schottenheimer were the coach, we win this football game. But the end of half, the end of the 4th quarter, they find a way to lose.

Absolutely disgusted, frustrated. It stinks. Worse than the loss to the Chiefs by orders of magnitude, I'm not kidding. Disgusting how they find ways to give the game away even with their best offensive showing of the season.

Gregg Williams's defense really can't be all that if they give up those kinds of yards and points to this shitty, second rate offense with a completely 2nd strng offensive line and fourth string HB. They really didn't look very good. The Vikings will rip those guys to shreds, you heard it here.

I am so mad I want to punch a hole in the side of the train car right now. So frustrating.....

I am glad to be a Ram fan and not a Skins fan today...Thats how terrible that loss was...Some really crazy stuff had to happen at the end of both halves and the OT for the Saints to win and they all happened. ...I was in disbelief...Kept saying...No way...No way...really?
If I was a Skins fan I might be looking to buy a new flat screen monday.

I agree on your assessment of a possible Saints Vikings match up. At least today I do.

Rodster · Post by **Rodster** » Sun Dec 06, 2009 8:12 pm

Second bad coaching decision in recent games by Hoody going for it on 4th down. They let the Dolphins back in the game when they were stopped and Miami took it down the field before the half.

My Sunday Ticket wasn't working when the game started, and I was on the phone for 40 minutes with DirecTV trying to get it back. At one point, I said to the tech that it was funny I was going through all this trouble to watch the Rams and Bears.

Speaking of a possible Vikings Saints NFC championship game...Maybe not so fast.

We all seem to be ignoring the Cardinals yet again this year. They are dominating the battle of the washed up qbs.

Isn't this about the time of year that the Vikings start collapsing? I know they put a thumping on the Bears last week but the Bears were given plenty of opportunities to take over that game in the first half and just weren't good enough to take advantage of them before succombing to the second half onslaught. The Vikings did the same thing tonight and an actual good team made them pay for it. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the season plays out for them but I wouldn't book their ticket to the Super Bowl nor the NFC Championship game just yet.

ARZ is a serious threat (again). U just never know which team will show up, but for that same reason, no one will want to play them....

Looking like NFL catch up AI alright....Im turning it back off. A game like this reminds me of why I stopped watching the NBA.

Did anyone catch the Vikings' Ej Henderson's season/career ending injury? Here's the video, but it is not for the faint at heart. Poor guy.....

With the NFL scuttling supplemental revenue sharing and Minnesota facing a ten-figure budget deficit, the planets could be getting a bit closer to aligning in a way that sends the Vikings to a new town.

Presumably, to Los Angeles.

Sean Jensen of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports that the league's refusal to continue with supplemental revenue sharing will cost the Vikings $15 million to $20 million per year.

And so, if the extra money to help make the team profitable in Minnesota won't be available, the Vikings might have to move to a market where more money will come from the local fans and businesses.

Like Los Angeles.

Complicating matters is the reality that Minnesota is projecting a $1.2 billion shortfall, which will make it even harder for the Vikings to secure public financing for a new stadium.

Then there's the fact that the clock is ticking, even more loudly than the biological mechanisms of Mona Lisa Veto.

The team's lease at the Metrodome expires after the 2011 season. At that point, the Vikings can go wherever they want, if enough of the rest of the NFL's owners approve.

It would be hard to envision enough of the rest of the owners not approving a move out of Minnesota, given that the owners have contributed to this mess by pulling the plug on a revenue stream that is helping to keep the team afloat in the Land of 10,000 Lakes.

Goodbye Vikings! lol

It's funny how that article doesn't even mention the fact that LA has agreed to build a brand new stadium for whatever team ends up in LA. So it's happening...just a matter of which team. I'm still thinking it'll be Jacksonville.

wco81 · Post by **wco81** » Tue Dec 08, 2009 8:18 pm

Ten-figure is in the billions.

How could a team be that short? Maybe it's a billion to build a new stadium?

If they really need over a billion, then the $15-20 million a year won't make any difference.

Oh and the attempt to stop the supplementary revenue sharing pool appears to be an attempt by the highest revenue team owners, such as Jones and Snyder, to give themselves a competitive advantage.

The other side of the uncapped year they're talking about is that there would be no minimum salary cap either. So some teams in small markets may choose to over time minimize their payroll, like some small market baseball teams have done.

wco, I think they mean the state of Minnesota is in debt over a billion, not the team. The owner of the team is demanding public funding, and when the state can barely stay above water as it is, asking for money for a sports team is not gonna work. I'm shocked the Twins and Gophers got their stadium. f*** the Vikings. If I was in LA and liked football, I'd love to see them come to town. The Jaquars are a pretty bad team. The Vikings could come in and win right away, since they only need a few more pieces to the puzzle to be a SB threat. Jax has MJD and MSW, and not much beyond that unless you think anything of their qb. This would be team #2 to leave Mn for California. Minnesota has the MOST fairweather, bandwagon fans around. Pack them up in the night ala the Browns!

I'd wager LA does NOT get a team in the near future. Too many 'cooks in the kitchen' with regards to investors/city funding. Plus, the NFL (supposedly) will not let a team play in the Rose Bowl or Coliseum while a new stadium is being built (can't blame the NFL for that). If that's true, it'll be 4+ years before a stadium is built. Isn't L.A. just as broke, BTW?

I think that you'll be surprised. The NFL would much rather stick the Raiders in the Coliseum or Rose Bowl for a couple years than to have them get draw 40K a game in Jacksonville and get blacked out each weekend. That's an embarrassment to the league if they know they're getting a new state of the art stadium in LA, I'd be shocked if they didn't jump at the chance to move the Jags.
