As usual, the first couple of weeks of the NFL season are producing lots of surprises, but the collapse of the Minnesota Vikings has to rank near the top of the list. How pathetic. After losing Randy Moss, some “experts” thought they would be a better team. What a joke. Losing Moss has changed the whole offense, and not they see what it’s like trying to win NFL games without a difference maker.
Yet even with the loss of Moss, did anyone think that they would be THIS bad? Dante Culpepper now looks like a stiff.
Minnesota fans can’t be happy. They probably were looking forward to football season after the Twins collapsed, and now they have to deal with this.
UPDATE – ESPN’s John Clayton might be a good reporter because of his connections, but he often sounds like an idiot when trying to analyze the NFL. He demonstrated that again yesterday on ESPN Radio. First he acknowledged that he had picked the Vikings to go to the Super Bowl, so you can include him in the group of “experts” who discounted the value of Randy Moss. Next, he makes one of the dumbest statements I ever heard, saying that he has Dante Culpepper rated as the second best quarterback in football behind Peyton Manning. Now, he wasn’t referring to fantasy value. Culpepper has always been a turnover machine even when he had Randy Moss. How can Clayton think that Culpepper is better than three-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady? How can he rate him over Donovan McNabb? Now it’s even more clear that Culpepper is overrated, but that still doesn’t absolve Clayton. He should stick to straight reporting.
