What’s with Minnesota?

They got it handed to them two weeks in a row.
I thought they shored up their defense in the off season.

Maybe they need Randy. Smoot might be wishing he was back in DC.

I hate to be the stick in the mud but, who cares? Troy Williamson was supposed to fill the void left by Moss. Not the case so far. But I'll say this. Maybe this is the type of season MIN needs to be a contender in the playoffs. I mean, this is a team that has gotten off to a great start the past few seasons before going on a free fall at regular season's end. You have to be playing your best ball going into the playoffs. So don't write this team off just yet. :oink:

True, True, I was just thinking about old Smooty.

It's all about Randy Moss. Like it or not, a player like Moss, if you like him or not, makes you respect the pass. He pulls a safety with him no matter what, he opens up your other receivers and RBs. Daunte Culpepper is getting picked apart, and this is why I thought the Vikes were going to try for a brusing RB.

moss is gone, culpepper suddenly sucks horribly

I don't like the vikings by the way

poor little stupid smoot, he went to a worser defense for more money, now he is on a team that can't score an offensive poing. Poor little stupid smoot, he talked some trash this week, then chad johnson called him out, then chad gets over 125 yards and a touchdown(on my fantasy team) and proves smoot is a great number two but average number one. Poor little stupid smoot almost made the probowl last year and now is on a team that gave up over 500 yards this week. Poor little stupid smoot

Look at Tice the guys press conferences are like bad imitations of John Wayne he tries to be this tough guy. He just doesn't seem terribly sophisticated. He also got busted scalping his league supplied super bowl tix last year. I know they lost moss, and the o coordinator but I think you lead from the top and Tice just doesn't seem top flight.
He had some early success with great talent and now I think people are on top of their schemes.

Smoot'll be OK. MIN seems to have problems running the ball without Moss. And Culpepper was stripped of the often used 'just-throw-it-up-and-go-get' play that was a staple in their offense. Now they have to rely on longer drives and smarter reads which is probably why he threw five INTs today. And throw in the fact that 2-3 guys in the secondary don't have to spy on Moss (as they do), the running game isn't as effective. :oink:
