Childress throws Favre under the bus (1 Viewer)

[atcdav]

I just saw the post game interview. Childress called Favre out for 2 of his ints, one was a pick 6 (corrected). Childress was correct in what is said, but it was low class and I bet this will be the unraveling of the Vikes season. Favre really looked like a beaten man in the interview.

Trent Dilfer was spot on with his commentary..I can't believe I just said that

But you don't do that in the presser if you are a head coach.Just mindnumbingly dumb.I liked the comment in the game thread calling McCarthy, Childress, and Lovie the three stooges.

 

[theToes]

From PFT

"I was going to give him that next series and he took us and moved us down the field," Childress said in reference to Minnesota's last touchdown drive.

The Vikings coach didn't hide his frustrations with Favre's three interceptions.

"It still goes back to taking care of the football," Childress said. "You can't throw it to them. You've got to play within the confines of our system. Sometimes, it's OK to punt the football, and you can't give seven points going the other way. Not in a game like this."

Agreed. You don't do that. Childress has got to go. I've had enough of the knucklehead.

Childress blames his players, Lovie blames no one and says everything is fine, and McCarthy says, "We'll have to watch he tape to find out who to blame."

Other by McCarthy is "yeah, we have to clean that up".3 teams that could be a lot better if it were not for inept coaching.Though, I will say, I will take McCarthy over Childress any day.

Of the three INT's, which ones were completely his fault? I understand when Favre scrambles he looks deeper some times but Moss was completely lost or does not have chemistry yet with Favre. I point to this one because on another slant play Moss did not even look for the ball when Favre threw it and while that one did not get intercepted, it should have been.

On another one Harvin was the intended receiver and when the ball was in the air he just stood there. The ball was there if he moves to it... is that not what receivers are taught... to move to the ball? Collins made a good play on the ball but Harvin is also to blame there.

I cannot think of the third one off hand.

At least 2 were all on Favre.Maybe Harvin should keep going, but Collins as you said made a great play on the ball.Had another earlier where he threw behind a WR and it hit Tramon in the hands (would have been 6 there too).

I only saw the Collins INT, and I'd have to agree, that was a pretty good throw by Farve, bad play by Harvin, and fantastic play by Collins... I'd expect at least one of the 3 INT's to be Farve's fault if not more, but I didn't see the other 2...

That is the point. Favre put the ball in place for the WR to make a play and the WR's either ran the route incorrectly, did not look or simply failed to make the play. Everyone wants to put the fault on Favre here but the ball was where it should have been. Equal fault goes to the WRs on these two. I still cant think of the third.

It was dumb when Jim Zorn did it. It was dumb when Mike Singletary did it. It's dumb when Childress does it. It will always be dumb. It shows a coach who's more interested in covering his own ### and deflecting blame rather than a coach who's willing to take responsibility for his team and be its leader through good times and bad.

I don't see anything controversial or non-obvious here. It looks like Saint Favre's defenders want to categorically shield him from all criticism. That's the problem with being the QB. You don't get to blame your teammates' poor coverage or something else if you make a bad throw. You own that. It's yours. Childress didn't bash him, he simply said you have to protect the football to the point that a punt can be better than an INT. Wow! Shocking!

Obviously, the implied criticism of St. Favre. He's broken at least 4 football commandments with that statement.

I agree and I also agree Childress is a terrible head coach. His passive approach at the end of the first half was mind-numblingly stupid. I don't blame Moss or anyone else on the Vikings for being steamed. That said, I don't have a problem with what Childress said. Favre shouldn't be above criticism and at least two of his three INTs were atrocious throws. The Pick 6 was inexcusable. If you're going to make plays that bad you deserve to be held accountable for it by the head coach.

[SWC]

I bet there is a lot of frustration by Childress. He has to wonder who he got to come back to the team -- he probably thought that Brett was the type of man he could build his Rome upon -- one of the best players, and people, in the world.

But then it came out that Brett was sending sext messages to sideline reporters containing pictures of his junk, and trying to hook up with massage therapists even though thier husbands were telling him to stop, and stepping out like he was John Edwards while Deanna recovered from breast cancer, and it's ended up being a complete distraction.

Add that to the fact that Brett was probably heavily involved with getting Randy Moss brought back who has dogged routes again, and stood yelling at the sidelines at the end of the first half in a just-like-Brett way showing even more disrespect for Childress and his staff, and there you have it.

Just like the rest of us who thought Brett was beyond reproach, and whose hearts he broke into a million pieces, Childress is probably pretty frustrated. And Childress' job, and his family's well being, are on the line because of the wiener texter and you bet thats probably frustrating and pretty understandable in the end.

Nope -- I think that Chilli's comments were probably just a boiling over of the disrespect he feels he's been shown, and I bet that if he could without totally putting his job at stake, he'd have a lot more to say about Brett... I just get the feeling that he was trying to hold it all in, and just couldn't quite get there and let the comments slip.

I see. So you should run the team as if the extremely vain, non-committal, egostistical and easily insulted QB is in charge rather than the head coach? That seems like a good idea.BTW, what ever happened to the idea that the QB, as leader of the team, would shoulder some of the blame for his teammates, especially in light of obvious mistakes that he's made on the field? Since when does the head coach have the sole responsibility for that?

I agree with all of this.With regard to the interceptions, I agree with previous posters saying Collins made a great play and Harvin could have prevented it. On the other two, IIRC he was being hit as he threw on one and was about to get leveled on the other. Still no excuse... throw it out of bounds or take the sack once in a while.Finally, I have to say it's obvious that Favre and Moss have zero chemistry. I'm surprised they still look to be so out of sync... I thought it would be less of an issue by now.

 

[Crippler]

The turning point of this game was the Shiancoe non TD. While the Bishop int was brutal, I agree the other 2 have as much to do with the WR. And the guy made some incredible throws in that game. The end of this game is so much different if the Shiancoe call was called right or if stupid Childress asks for review on the Quarless TD. Harvin learn to get your feet down also. Another great throw wasted

 

[Tau837]

Deanna Favre released a statement today... Deanna has issued a statement defending her husband: "Those pictures Brett sent to that woman were meant for me. But you know Brett....... they were intercepted!"

You're at least a week late with this lame joke.

BTW, the texts happened 2 seasons ago...

 

[snogger]

here is more:

The Bishop interception seemed to upset Childress the most. "I'd have to look at that one to know where we're going with the football because I believe the play was designed to go to the other side and I think Percy's standing there in big air," Childress said.

Childress considered pulling Favre but did not make it clear whether he had approached the veteran. " was going to give him that next series and he took us and moved us down the field," Childress said.

Did Favre talk to the press after the game? If he did, I'm sure he did accept blame. Do you know he didn't?

 

[gianmarco]

I don't think there's an issue with Childress saying he made mistakes. But Childress saying he was about to pull Favre is ridiculous. Not ridiculous in the fact that he considered, but ridiculous in the fact that he SAID he considered it? Why say that? What's the point? How does he think Favre is going to like hearing that? Sure, he doesn't have to sit there and please Favre, but that kind of statement is only going to strain an already damaged relationship even more and cause many more problems than good.

If you want to pull him, then pull him and be done with it. If you're "considering it" but then decide against it or you're too weak to do so, then keep your trap shut about it and just talk about the poor INTs.

Just plain dumb.

Chilly with the "tough talk".. Everyone knows Farve would have just exercised his veto power when Chilly made that call...Childress tried to bench Farve one time last year.. Didn't quite work out for him...

I don't agree. Favre most definitely screwed up. But a head coach should not be calling out his QB in the media like he did. There was also more to the quote, Childress was talking about he didn't know why Favre was looking on that side of the field, the play was supposed to be to the other side. It is on the ESPN loop I think, try to catch the interview. It was Singletary-esque. I wouldn't be surprised if Favre's "injuries" remove him from the game for awhile after this.

 

[KCC]

The coach said they had to be more careful about not turning the ball over? Wow, he shouldn't be able to say such inflammatory things.

 

[BigTex]

I just saw the post game interview. Childress called Favre out for 2 of his ints, one was a pick 6 (corrected). Childress was correct in what is said, but it was low class and I bet this will be the unraveling of the Vikes season. Favre really looked like a beaten man in the interview. Trent Dilfer was spot on with his commentary..I can't believe I just said that

So.......he's calling a "spade", a "spade"?

[snogger]

And the Players are returning the serve:

Rookie Toby Gerhart -- not Adrian Peterson -- was on the field for critical third- and fourth-down plays on the final drive. “I don’t have an idea,” Peterson said when asked why he wasn’t on the field. “I don’t call the plays. Just when they call my number I go out there and do my job.”

 

[Carolina Hustler]

The coach said they had to be more careful about not turning the ball over? Wow, he shouldn't be able to say such inflammatory things.

And talked about throwing the other team the ball, and about his consideration in benching Farve...You must have only skimmed the thread.. I agree, if he had only said what you posted, non-issue...

 

[Breesisdaman]

Chilly ever think that if he had went for it at the end of the firsst half with time on the clock like Moss and Favre wanted him to that he might not have Favre in this must score position at the end of the game? Chilly is great at casting blame around but alot of it comes back and sticks on him. He is out as coach after this season. What a waste of talent on that team and its not just Favre either.

Who cares, he deserved it. Favre should know better than making some of those god-awful throws.

Chilly did not throw Farve under the bus, he was asked a question and he answered it. Farve is infamous for his bone-headed INTS at crucial times, he has to protect the football better and that is what Chilly stated.I saw Farvres presser and he looks as if he has aged 10 years in the past few months..the guy looks old and tired. I am sure right now Farve rues the day he decided to come back again.

Yay...our coach is the king of the turds.

Who cares, he deserved it. Favre should know better than making some of those god-awful throws.

Chilly did not throw Farve under the bus, he was asked a question and he answered it. Farve is infamous for his bone-headed INTS at crucial times, he has to protect the football better and that is what Chilly stated.

Why state something that most people understand and realize though? Makes no sense. Two of the INT's can be put on the WR as much as the QB last night.

Lots of deflection here. This has nothing to do with Childress. He was the head coach last year. This is all about Favre. The miracle, non-turnover Favre of last year has reverted back to the gunslinger of old. He's making stupid decisions. Not just on the INT's. Taking horrible sacks as well as mentioned last night. Those turnovers cost MN the game - period. It's all on Favre, and I have no problem with Childress calling him out. All coaches say "we can't turn the ball over" which usually points to the QB. Favre isn't immune. And frankly, I'm sick of him walking fine and breaking high jump records after a TD (Shiancoe) but limping like Festus from Gunsmoke after a bad play. I predicted a horrible year from Favre, and that is exactly what we are getting. He still will have big games with the weapons he has, but this is not a SB team anymore. Favre has reverted, and the D Line has regressed badly..

Is Jim Schwartz the best coach in that division?

We're going to find out shortly. Not that he has made real good decisions either...but they have put a decent team together under the radar. No expectations compared to the other three teams who were all going to the Super Bowl before the season started.
