Another injury or two and we could be fighting for a playoff spot. ( Favre goes down ) Right on Adam, its not to early to think about these things.

I hope Mrs. Freds enjoys the bye week, her romantic dinner, and the fine choice of beverage! Carter, normally I hate the 'Boys very much, too. But for some reason (maybe having to do with last years playoffs) I've developed an equal hatred for the Iggles. Either way, I hope for a tie, and am curious to see if McNabb knows ties are possible this time around :) Carter, I plan on discussing some draft prospects this week if I can find some spare time to watch some film. Robinson is high on my list to watch some film of, as I'm very impressed witht he little I've seen of him so far. His ability to play well from under center instead of from the spread/shotgun is a great trait in a prospect. I'll move him up my list since you've requested some analysis. In fact, I have big plans for this year's offseason. I plan on having some very detailed scouting reports, mock drafts, prospect bios, big boards... you name it. While most of that will really pick up after the Super Bowl, make sure to check back often. I'm going to a story this week about the 6 prospects I think the Vikings may consider trading up for on draft day (Clausen, Bradford, Suh, McCoy, Okung, and Berry). Expect a lot of Bears talk from me coming up as well. Theya re now enemy #1 for the Vikes, no doubt about it. They make up 25% of our remaining schedule, and are now the division opponent closest to us in the divisional race. Freds, great to hear from you, my friend.

I haven't watched much of them, save the first half of their anemic offense trying to score on the Browns. Anybody got the keys to the game?

I agree with all that cheerin advice except the last one, I cant stand Dallas. Go Philly. Hey Freds, where ya been? You should stop by the old blog. And I think maybe a 2009 Colt 45 would be more to her liking. But 1987 was a fine year! Hey Adam. I agree with all that cheerin advice except the last one, I cant stand Dallas. Go Philly.

We have a long season ahead, Fragile will be needing to cash in a few chips later on in the season so Mrs Fred will be getting a little TLC during the bye week. You know, a romantic setting, dim candles, some nice Teddy Pendergrass on the 8 track, a fine vintage beverage (perhaps Colt 45, 1987). Need to keep Mrs Fred happy for the second half of the season. As Fred learned from Denny: If you're looking for Freds, his hand is on the plow and the best thing when your hand is on the plow is to look forward. Freds just learned of your live chat during game time. Fred will try to bring his limited knowledge of football and sharp tongue to the next session. AKs -
