Vikings have the same record as the Detroit Lions, but have a much bigger payroll!!! That makes for one scary Halloween.

Hell yeah! Great game Niners! First half was a bit slow for both teams, but the 2nd half was pretty exciting! Niners finally showed up as a team (both offense and defense) to play a full game!
I also really liked Troy Smith, he did not fall apart under pressure and made no mistakes especially when the Blitz was on. Saw some very good moves from him.
The atmosphere at the stadium was amazing as well. A bit quieter than in the states, but still very very fun. Had a good pre-game entertainment show as well with Jeff Beck on guitar and My Chemical Romance. I will post up some pics later, now I need to rest from the travel today.

Email ShareAdd to del.icio.us CloseShare Evidently Brad Childress had a very good reason for letting Randy Moss stay in the Boston area after Sunday's game. He didn't want him to return to Winter Park -- ever.
Childress told his players in a team meeting that Moss has been waived by the Vikings a day after the wide receiver gave a rambling statement following a loss to the Patriots. Childress attempted to downplay Moss' comments in his news conference this afternoon, where he didn't mention the move,but clearly he had seen enough after the wide receiver played four games for the Vikings.
Linebacker Ben Leber said Childress didn't give a specific reason for Moss being cut.
"No reason, really, [he] just wanted to give everybody a heads-up and say this is what's going on, and that's it," Leber said. "He didn't really dive into any details, and just said that's what were going to go with."
Moss, obtained from the Patriots in early October for a third-round pick in 2011, had only one catch for 8 yards on Sunday and had 13 catches for 174 yards and three touchdowns since joining the Vikings.
The end of Moss' second tenure with the Vikings came after Sunday's 28-18 loss at New England.
Moss, who was fined $25,000 last week for failing to cooperate with the media, informed everyone that he would no longer take questions for the rest of the season but instead would ask himself questions and then answer them. Moss then proceeded to praise the Patriots, while criticizing the Vikings for not listening to the tips he gave them about his former team. Moss also took a shot at Childress for not kicking a field goal at the end of the first half and instead going for it on fourth down at the New England 1-yard line. Adrian Peterson lost 2 yards.
Childress disagreed with Moss' assertion that he had not heeded the advice the veteran gave about how New England would approach things. "I think we did a pretty good job of heeding it, both offensively and defensively," Childress said. "He gave us some windows into how we thought they would end up playing. That's obviously in his eyes."
Childress, though, attempted to downplay there were any troubles with Moss when in fact he had set the wheels in motion to get rid of him.
"Do I find [the comments] incendiary?" he said. "I just think he was going back to a spot that he has a lot of affection for and I thought by and large those comments were regarding the people there, the coach there, the ownership there and obviously there's a fondness in his heart for those guys on that football team. Hey, you'd like to go out there and beat their tails off, nothing he would like better, but at the same time he enjoyed his stay there."

Just read that and was fixing to post! Unbelievable! This is a head scratcher.....

Vikings just completely wasted there time with him then, they gave up a draft pick just to give him away?
Coors, the Rams and Seahawks are more likely to grab him off waivers.

Nope, probably the Eagles. They love trouble makers and Jackson is injured.

Dallas has a worse record. If they want him, they get him before the Seahawks and Rams.

With Romo out, Dallas wont touch him. Someone may pick him up but his "T.O., prima dona" attitude is getting old in the league. Apparently him quitting on a couple plays and his outburst at a local catering company in the team locker room after a workout was all Minnesota wanted to see.

Yeah I too do not think that most teams would want to pick him up. I know I would not want him on my team. He is just like T.O..

Randy Moss is just a boy in a man's body. I started to dislike Moss the first time he was with the Vikings, and when I heard they had re-signed him I asked myself , self, how long before this blows up in thier face. Not long.
I for one am glad to have seen him cut, Childress will probabaly be looking for work at the end of the season too.
Good luck to any team willing to take him, make sure you bring in top notch catering after Friday practice No dog food allowed.

Ed Werder, ESPN insider, reported another reason they cut Moss is after he started acting up they didn't want his attitude to rub off on 2nd year receiver Percy Harvin.
I say that was a good move.
Let the Bengals take him. T.O, Ochocinco, and Moss on the same team!!!!! WOW!

For the most part no. There really is a very big NFL following in England. Lots of fan over there. Plus there were lots of Americans as well at the game.
