Vikes player baffled by NFL decision

It's baffling that it even matters to the lad.....

Yeah, in Minnesota the only thing that would delay a game would be if the roof to the Metrodome collap... Anyway...

I was thinking the same thing .... Why Tuesday ..... Not Monday Night ..... SNF show them clearing the field ...

But it's the VIKES jinx .... Roof falls in move game to Detroit, Move last to Monday Night cause of home game outdoors at TCF... SNOW delay in PHIL now .... last game at Detroit Ford Field wonder IF that roof will fall in ;)

Now there is more time to wheel Favre onto the field and that's just for the coin toss.

Shiancoe sure is eager for the upcoming thrashing...

From a VIKES player view point .... fly out on Saturday / Christmas Day ...wants to get back home to Minny ASAP to family, not Wednesday at 4 AM ;(

When the mayor of Philly comes on tv and says he wants people to stay at home starting at 2 pm, the league was kind of forced into this. You're expecting a blizzard and really the last thing you want to do is invite 80,000 people onto the streets at night and then expect them to have safe travels on the way home. Too much liability. I'm not sure about a Tuesday game. That gives the teams a short turn around the the last week of the regular season.

It really stunk not having a game on Sunday night. It also made me realize how depressing it's going to be when football season is over.

Not really a problem. MN will be done and Philly can use their 2nd and 3rd stringers against Dallas even if they need a win.

I blame Favre. Didn't have these problems in Minny until he showed up.

Their season started a downward spiral when a few of his good friends dragged him off the tractor.

He probably doesn't want to sit around the hotel playing board games for another two nights.

My opinion exactly.

Agree completely. even if your favorite team sucks ( and mine sure does it seems ).

It's a conspiracy!

The NFL delays the game so Brett Favre can heal in time. Just like last week.

Wouldn't have had the game in MN with that much snow either. Took 2 days to get the stadium shoveled out for crying out loud. Of course OUR blizzard was much bigger.

I get the delay the game cause of SNOW .... but WHY not tonight vs waiting two nights ...cause of the Saints vs Falcons tonight?
