Childress still believes in offense
Vikings coach Brad Childress accepted responsibility for the shortcomings of his disappointing offense. But he still believes in the potential of the unit.
"I know it's a kick-ass offense when it is executed properly and it's been done with all different levels of people and personnel, but I'm not shaken," Childress said. "It's a system. It's a multiple system that you can run it just as easily as you can throw it, and we need to become better at it. That's my job."
Childress said Thursday's loss in Green Bay "illuminates" where the team needs to shore up in the offseason.
"Obviously it wasn't good enough," he said. "That's our offense, that's my offense, and I take it personally when it doesn't go as it is supposed to go. Defensively, I thought they did a great job."
Other highlights:
* Rookie CB Cedric Griffin likely will not play in the season finale because of a neck injury.
* TE Jeff Dugan has a foot sprain.
* G Steve Hutchinson and TE Jim Kleinsasser both had elbow hyperextensions.
* P Chris Kluwe strained his hamstring Thursday
* WR Troy Williamson has a hamstring strain.
* QB Brooks Bolllinger is still treating his AC sprain.

More and more this guy is making Mike Tice look like a genius!
Nothing about the Vikings has changed from the Tice era, only a worse record. Same stupid penalties, inability to execute, and porous defense. You can add inept offense to the list now.
I love how the media made a big deal out of the Vikings historic run defense. Why run when the Vikings cannot stop the pass. It is amazing that people were mentioning Tomlison as a head coaching candidate half way through this year. Why? They have not given up a lot of points, but they sure have not been able to stop many offenses.
I can only hope that this year is a learning experience for the Vikings. I hope that many of the short comings this year can be attributed to new systems. Other new coaches in the NFL this year took over less talented teams and have improved. It is not a good sign that the Vikings have regressed.
I agree with denver vike. This is one sorry team and it starts with the head coach.
