And last night the Vikings season ended. Well, they play next Sunday but not for any purpose. Depending, they'll finish either 9-7 or 8-8. Which makes sense. They're an average team. Not bad, but not that good either. Middle of the pack.
Of course, middle of the pack is much better than anyone would have thought when they were 2-5. I'll take it.
The defense has improved quite a bit. And that's important. We've become defense starved up here after a near decade of ineptitude. Let's hope they can build on this for next year.
Speaking of, the number one thing they need to do in the offseason is make sure Ted Cotrell stays on as the defensive coordinator. Number two is to get healthy/add depth to the O-line. Number three is to figure out the QB and running back situations. The team is improving and a good draft could push them over the top. Let's hope that happens.
Tice? Did he redeem himself with this second half? Probably enough for the owner to keep him on. I don't really think he's the answer though.
Maybe next year 10-6.
Other football thoughts: Brett Farve is perhaps the greatest human being in the history of the world. At least you'd think so from the TV announcers. Seriously, has anyone ever had more excuses made for him than Farve? Every interception is the receivers fault. Any poor decision is blamed on the lack of talent around him. It's hard to listen to.
I expect he'll be back for at least one more year. And lead the Packers to a four victory year.
