Randy Moss

hadn't been this excited about the Vikings' offense since Daunte Culpepper was heaving the rock to Randy Moss.  Of course, Tarvaris did stink in the playoff game against the Eagles, but one must remember that the Philly defense is perhaps the toughest in the NFC.  After the Vikes, the Giants couldn't do anything against them and only the Kurt Warner-Larry Fitzgerald combination could post any points (and that was only for about one half!).

.2 yards per reception…not too shabby for an old man!  His numbers were very similar to Randy Moss (69 REC, 1008 YDS, 11 TDs, and 14.6 YPR), but nobody is giving him a hard time?  Tank Johnson was somewhat of a disappointment, but that’s on the field.  He has done nothing as far as any off the field issues.  And what other troublemakers?

With the tearing down of the "Williams Wall" forefront in all Vikings fans' minds right now, I would like to go off on a little bit different of a tangent, comparing the AFC juggernaut of his year to a similar 1998 NFC dominating force...

per made his entrance into the NFL in 2000 and, thanks largely to a supporting cast of Cris Carter, Randy Moss, Robert Smith, etc. lead the Vikings to the NFC championship game.  In 2001 Pep was dogged by injuries, leading to the failed Spergon Wynn experiment.  In 2002, Daunte had arguably his worst season as a pro, as he absolutely could not hold on to the ball and set new records for fumbling that will likely never be broken in the history of the NFL.  However, 2002 also marked the first year that the Vikings employed Scott Linehan as offensive coordinator.  After just one rough season under Linehan, the pair clicked in a big way in 2003-2004, when Culpepper was arguably the best QB in the NFC, setting team records (eclipsing even Fran Tarkenton in most categories) at an astounding pace.

se be if Tom Brady went down with an injury? Is Matt Cassell ready to step in and win a game? Or if Randy Moss sustains an injury, is the receiving corps anywhere near as potent? Suddenly there isn’t the need to double cover him, and a defense can better protect itself against the slot receivers. Wes Welker’s production, while well earned, would not be possible without Moss split out wide. The Giants have a team that resembles the Patriot’s championship teams of the last five years: a cohesive unit that doesn’t lose stride if one piece is missing. However, with the Pats’ defense as porous as it currently is, perfecting the “bend but don’t break” approach, the team would be in trouble if their offense couldn’t be counted on for thirty points per game.
