He could have caught it for a touchdown. I dont think they scored on that drive either. In fact, it may have been the 4 n goal that they talk about in the article posted above.

I hope he finds a team and plays to his ability because there is no doubt that he can be a great reciever.
I watched that, and I don't think he quit on it. he looks like he lost the ball in the air, like an outfielder.

If you watched Moss the past four games, it appears that he actually ran and tried about every sixth play, otherwise, he was trotting the routes, not fooling anybody. I have to say I'm surprised that his attitude was so poor, given that it was obvious the Pats didn't want him anymore. Who is going to take the risk on a guy who phones in his performance?

I thought that was a great penalty by the Pats because he would have caught it easily for a TD.

btw, thanks for the third round pick.

Maybe he can go to Cinci with the rest of the head cases.

Maybe, but I'm still not convinced. I will try to find a video of the play and make a determination when its not in the heat of the moment. I just get pissed when pros don't try, kinda like when baseball players jog to first place when they hit a ground ball.

That's a low blow but it's true

That was definitely a great penalty and I bet the coaches would say the same thing.

Hoody abused the Vikes on that trade. A 3rd rounder for 3 weeks, and it's looking more and more like it will be a low 3rd rounder.

I'm patiently waiting for Bill Belichick, Peyton Manning and Dick LeBeau to retire.

Brad Childress is an appalling chode!!! I cant stand the guy. His inability to provide an ever medium term solution at QB is unforgiveable. I hope he gets fired before he causes more long term damage to the Vikings. What an A-hole!!!

Childress has made some very questionable calls, i.e. going for the TD instead of a field goal early in the game, calling for challenges on open-and-shut referee calls, openly criticizing the officials knowing that doing so is against the rules, etc. I do agree that it's time to terminate his contract, which was just extended last year.

Doc ... I agree with you.
Can't understand why any NFL team would want someone like Moss.

He's a clubhouse cancer Most teams wouldn't want to deal with his prima donna attitude.

Here's one reason. The owner of the restaurant was interviewed on this also.

Maybe the Bengals will pick him up, Moss, T.O. and OchoCinco! Talk about a triple threat!

It just stinks that we lost a draft pick because of him. Personally I hope Childress gets the axe because of this season....Ive never cared for him.
