MIKE MCCARTHY HAS STARTED SWINGING AXES
AMONG THE COACHING STAFF IN GREEN BAY
AND WHILE SEVERING THE TIES TO THE PAST SEASON
ALL THE DEFENSIVE COACHES HAVE BEEN SENT AWAY

APPARENTLY THE COACHES WERE THE PROBLEM-
AT LEAST FROM TED AND MIKEY'S POINT OF VIEW
WHILE SOME MIGHT SAY THERE'S A VOID IN LEADERSHIP
AND "STAR QUALITY" FOOTBALL PLAYERS TOO

THIS OFFSEASON WILL BE FILLED WITH QUESTIONS
PERHAPS THE ANSWERS WILL SHOW UP ON DRAFT DAY
THAT IS PROVIDED THEY ARE REALLY LOOKING FOR SOLUTIONS
AND NOT MERELY ENGAGING IN C-Y-A"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
REALITY FINALLY CAUGHT UP WITH THE VIKINGS SUNDAY
AS THE EAGLES' GAME LEFT THEM EXPOSED
AND THE VIKES' LACK OF QUALITY QUARTERBACKING
REALLY SHOWED MINNESOTAS TEAM TO BE HOSED

SO DESPITE THE MONEY SPENT BY THE WILF FAMILY
AND THE TALENT BROUGHT IN TO GIVE THE TEAM A BOOST
COACH CHILDRESS IS TRYING TO EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED
NOW THAT THE VULTURES HAVE COME HOME TO ROOST

WHILE THE VIKINGS ARE LOADED WITH GOOD YOUNG PLAYERS
SOMETHING IS LACKING FROM THE TEAM'S PHILOSOPHY
WHETHER THEY CAN FIND THOSE MISSING PIECES
IS GOING TO BE VERY INTERESTING TO SEE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

LAST WEEKEND'S WILDCARD-WEEK PLAYOFF GAMES
WENT PRETTY MUCH AS COULD BE EXPECTED
GAMES THIS WEEKS GAMES ARE REGULAR-SEASON REMATCHES
HAVE ALL THE PAST MISTAKES BEEN CORRECTED?

BALTIMORE'S RAVENS VISIT THE TITANS OF TENNESSEE
BOTH TEAMS KNOWN FOR BEING QUITE INTENSE
WHILE THE TITANS HAVE THE BETTER RECORD GOING IN
THE ADVANTAGE FROM THE RAVENS MOMENTUM IS IMMENSE

ARIZONA SURPRISED THE ATLANTA FALCONS LAST WEEK
BUT THE PANTHERS WON'T BE SO EASILY FOOLED
THE CAROLINA'S TEAM HAS BEEN PLAYING OUTSTANDING BALL
LOOK FOR WARNER AND THE CARDINALS' TO GET SCHOOLED

PITTSBURGH IS SET TO WELCOME THE CHARGERS TEAM
SEEMING MUCH LIKE THE "STEEL CURTAIN" OF OLD
AND EVEN THOUGH "BIG BEN" HAS A SLIGHT CONCUSSION
SAN DIEGO WILL SUCUMB TO THE DEFENSE AND THE COLD

THE EAGLES ARE THE TEAM THAT FOLKS THINK MIGHT BE 'THE ONE'
WHO GETS HOT AT THE RIGHT TIME OF THE POSTSEASON
BUT THEY'LL FIND THEY'VE BEEN COOLED OFF BY THE GIANTS
WHO AFTER ALL, ARE DEFENDING WORLD CHAMPIONS FOR A REASON
