It is stuff like this that makes a fan base look bad though. The Rams had a better record than the Vikings last year, so no clue what you are talking about.
Also - to all the people talking about CP vs. TA - Tavon didn't play many snaps either; it appears that each of us didn't know that about our rookie WRs last year. He started a few games, but his snaps dropped when we transitioned to more power running.
Stranger things happening than the Rams beating the Vikings? You do realize that the Rams are favored in this game right? And that the Vikes only won 5 games last year? Against the 13th most difficult schedule, while the Rams won 7 with the 4th most difficult.
Will you though?

Yeah right, like he would not be here rubbing our noses in "it" had the Vikes lost.

He was fairly civilized compared to most rival supporters I've encountered, although to be fair most of those are inbred Packers fans
Fair play to him if he comes back to face the music; can't blame him for having confidence in his team, but his mistake was underestimating the Vikings and having too much faith that last year's form would carry over into this season.
It hasn't, and many people here tried to tell him it wouldn't.
The Vikings under Mike Zimmer and Norv Turner are a completely different prospect than the team which capitulated under pressure so often last season.

I think across the country the Vikes are not held in high esteem because of last year's record and because a cursory glance at the newness (coaches, especially) gives little reason to believe we'll be much better. But those of us following every move they make, every interview with Zimmer, etc. we're sensing that a change is in the works and we know that we have some serious playmakers. Here's to hoping that the disrespect continues all year!

Tied for 7th in the league in sacks (with 11.50 is "washed up"?
Allen was the best pass rusher on the team. He's certainly not in his prime anymore but 'washed up" is a big, big stretch.
He was bad last year, significantly worse than Robison. Griffen is awesome, as you can see. We probably kept JA a year too long to be honest.

He did have 11.5 sacks last year, so not horrible.
But did you see his performance with the Bears today? Yikes. Awful.
I think we cut ties at just the right time.

JA was a selfish one dimensional washed up pass rusher without the step he used to have. And wouldn't even get off the field when he was tired to let a fresh guy in. Should have traded him earlier.
