Not me. I have continued to follow him and will always be a fan. Maybe the fair weather fans...Which the Vikings lead the fucking league in every year.

It isn't just MN... I would bet rating jump in every state when their team is doing well.

I would consider myself somewhat of a fair weather fan. I like the teams, but don't follow every game. It is much more fun watching a team win than getting their ass handed to them. Might decide to keep my post season tickets if the Vikings are doing well though.

This news made my day yesterday, even if Moss stands around on the field they simply can't ignore him and he will most likely draw double coverage. That means Peterson, Shiancoe, Harvin and hopefully Rice in the near future stand to benefit immensely. With our defense giving up less than 13pts per game this is exactly the jump start we need on offense. Its going to be an exciting season!

**Murlo26** · 10-07-2010

I agree but I think our season hinges on the next game. If we win I think we have a great chance this season, but if we drop to 1-3 I pretty much lose most hope for the vikes.

So far Favre hasn't shown us he still has it, I mean lets face it, he is old. Moss is a great pick up for sure, but Favre has to still have it for this team to work.

We will know a whole lot more on Monday. We need to get to .500 for team morale i think.

**v8klla** · 10-07-2010

Oh yeah, and tell me this doesn't sound like an all star team rather than a single team's offense

QB: Brett Favre (11 Pro Bowls)
RB: Adrian Peterson (3 Pro Bowls)
WR1: Randy Moss (4 Pro Bowls)
WR2: Sidney Rice (1 Pro Bowl / 2009)
WR3: Percy Harvin (1 Pro Bowl / 2009)

Favre is bringing a helluva lot more than Tjack could

zero arguments there, lol.

But the guy is getting old and I think it is starting to show. I guess I am waiting to see some of what I saw last year to prove out the theory that he just doesn't have it anymore. And maybe moss is the answer, like I said we will see.

I just don't think we can come back from 1-3 to win our division, its possible but that is a really rough start.

I want Tjack to be the second black QB to win a SuperBowl

Represent MN!!!

How bout instead of caring if he is black or white we simply cheer on the vikings and pray to God they pull it together to get to the super bowl!

Its going to be tough but I think we're in the best possible position to do so as we still get to play both Chicago and Green Bay twice, plus both teams are beatable as we've seen over the past two weeks. I think this division is going to come down to the wire.

Some quotes from Randy today via espn

"To all the Vikings fans that are coming to the Metrodome, pull your 84 jerseys out, man," Moss said. "I think this is going to be a fun ride."

"I thought about this time and time again," Moss said. "How is this thing going to play out? Is the love for me still here in Minnesota? All I've been seeing is nothing but positives."

"Did I want to get traded out of New England? I don't know what the answer is," Moss said. "All I can say is there's no other place I'd rather get traded to besides Minnesota."

I don't think we'll win the division but we are usually pretty good at being in contention for a wild card at the end of the year.

The Vikes have never had much trouble getting to the playoffs. It's winning in the post season we need help with

if you actualy watched the whole press confrence you would notice moss indicated in his actions he didnt look very happy to be here
and after moss favre spoke and was setting up for allot of excuses and really didnt seem all that excited himself.

funniest part was when they asked favre about the photos of his ding a ling pic of him in crocks is comming out along with voice mails he quickly moved on saying "right now im just thinking about the jets on monday night"

Favre isn't lacking from age, look at last year.

He's lacking because his ankle has not healed properly, and he has to inject it before and after each game with special lube.

Try throwing a footba;l accurately when you can't put weight on a foot without wincing. Hopefully this bye helped.

Moss is going to bring a lot too our offence, and positivity to the fans and team. Woot!

Not to mention our offensive line can't protect him worth a shit this year.

The saints wrote the script on how to beat us in the playoffs last year every team is going to come at us with the same game plan blitz the hell out of favre with different blitz packages and try to make him beat them. i think later in the season when favre hits his groove gets a healthy sidney back we are going to be unstoppable i mean defensive cordinators are going to lay in bed sweating at the thought of having to scheme against
rice wide left moss wide right percy in the slot shank te comming down the seam and then oh dont forget adrian in the back feild they cant double everyone.
im not ready to jump off the wagon yet but the next month is going to be brutal. if things get to far outa hand i think they should throw in the new qb lets see if his legs can do anything

Teams blitzing= no double covering Randy Moss. Remember that a ball anywhere near Moss or Rice one he comes back is pretty much a catch
