Has there been anything this surprising since Lyle Lovett married Julia Roberts?

I agree with your thoughts on T-Jack. You have to modify your system for the "talent" you have. On the other hand, I think you give the Eagles too much credit. They are peaking at the right time, but I expect the G-men to bury them. Nursedude, I’m sorry you witnessed that in person. I agree with your thoughts on T-Jack.

To say that the fans around me were perplexed and upset with Chilly's play calling and poor clock management would be a gross understatement. Childress is trying to make a John Unitas , pocket passer out of a guy who is best rolling out and showing movement. T-jack had some brutal throws, but in fairness, I think the Eagles put a great deal of pressure on him, too. Starting the second half, they actually had some success on a couple of throws that gained dsome decent yardage having T-Jack roll out...then Childress inexplicably stopped. The ball that Samuel took back for a pick six was a floating knuckleball that Tim Wakefield would have been proud of. The Defense did not play that badly-the one exception was the Westbrook screen pass for a touchdown. They really missed Pat Williams in the middle. To your thesis from 2005, former Viking Defensive coordinator Mike Tomlin's success in Pittsburgh only adds another strong argument supporting your point. The Vikings need a new head coach-but are not going to get one, and it looks like they will be in the market for another Defensive Coordinator, because it sure looks like Frazier is going to be getting a head coaching job somewhere-hopefully in the AFC with Denver, and not in the division at Detroit. The thing that was frustrating about the Vikings against the Eagles, is that the Vikings were THIS close to being able to beat them...don't be surprised if the Eagles beat the G-men in the Meadowlands this weekend.
