"We're just not very good right now. That's everybody. That means I'm not a very good coach. It means we're not coaching well enough all around. And it means that we're not playing good enough. That starts with the head coach. So we all have to do a better job, including me."-Mike Tice, following Sunday's embarrassing 30-10 loss to Atlanta that dropped the Vikes to 1-3. After hinting in Week 3 that maybe they're about to turn a corner, the Vikes once again utterly failed on both offense and defense, with Daunte Culpepper forgetting how to play, in addition to being sacked NINE TIMES.
Tice admitting "I'm not a very good coach" is like Caligula saying "I'm not a very good emperor." It's the sort of thing coaches tend to say when they're days away from being fired- and since next week is the bye, now's as good a time as any.
Meanwhile, the Packers and Panthers square off in the Monday night game. Look for the announcers to spend three hours comparing Brett Favre to God, while he throws 5 interceptions in a 35-10 loss.

While I don't like to give Tice any credit either, he did win against the homeless team... putting him at 1-3 instead of 0-3.
