[QUOTE="NodakPaul, post: 228490, member: 1127"] Initially I think the confusing came in because you didn't mention the draft. You simply accused the Vikings of trying to "buy" a team like Washington. I disagree, I think the Vikings are doing a good job [i]building[/i] the team by bringing in young players that will be with the Vikes for a while. in 2006 and 2007 they did it primarily through the draft. In 2008 they had more free agency action. Whether through draft or through FA, the end goal is the same. Good thing nothing changed on your team from last year to this. I mean, it isn't like the person who plays in the position you referred to as "the most important" changed. Right? :roll: When I look at the NFC North objectively, I actually still rank the Pack in front... but the Vikings are a pretty damn close second - and have the best chance in the NFC North of taking the crown away from the Pack. If you can't see that... A few years ago we had Tice as a coach, and I completely disagreed with a lot of the approaches he took. You can't fault the current administration for something the past has done. As far as Allen not doing much of anything against you guys last year, maybe you should check that again.
