So Chad I have to ask this - and I think I might know the answer - do you think the Vikings passing with ~5 minutes to go was a low blow? Or was it justified? (just since I'm sure that's what the "Around the Horn" people will be screaming about this week)

It wasn't justified, but neither was it a low blow. Maybe I would be more outraged if I hadn't already of turned the game off by that point.

i don't think the passing was bad.....but i don't think that last throw should have been into the EZ....should have gotten the first and then taken a knee

Wade Phillips extended through 2012.
Yay?

If I take a deep breath and step back and evaluate Wade, he's won the division two of his three years, won a playoff game and has had some decent drafts. He's also the winning-est coach percentage wise in Dallas history (only three years, but whatever). But if I shine the light on him, I see an undisciplined team, a defense that shuts down bad teams and allows mucho points to good teams. I'm fine with him coming back, although I'd like to see one thing: a new OC.
We need a OC who understands how to actually coordinate a game. I was really hoping Norv Turner would get fired and Jerry would pounce on him, but Turner inexplicably received a contract extension. Give credit to the Vikes defense, but they were helped out tremendously by an offensive game plan that was apparently put together by a person who only just recently discovered the game of football.
I'm 'eh' about Phillips. I'd upgrade to being OK with him if we had a different OC.
I'm not sure I'm buying Jones continuity argument (Rex Ryan says hi), because I think continuity matters more for players, especially in the NBA. I don't believe a team will be lost with a shorter prep time and a new coach if there is a lockout. But whatever.
I would love to trade Roy Williams and Marion Barber and see if we can get some good draft picks for him, or a really good offensive lineman.
