I liked the one with the baby who rented the clown but underestimated the creepiness factor.

I think my favorite one was either the one Shawn mentioned with Hank or the Bridgestone tires one with the screaming animals. I liked the grasshopper screams.

A couple of my favorite ads

A couple of my favorite ads didn't make the cut, although I did like the Will Ferrell and the Tide ads.
My favorites ads were the GoDaddy.com ad about wardrobe malfunction, Amp's Go Amp Yourself, Man's Best Friend by Gatorade and Budweiser's Hank the Clydesdale being trained by the dalmation.

I completely understand the

I completely understand the build-you-up-to-knock-you-down mentality, but for me this is different because the team is young and no one really expected them to be a playoff team this year.

It is always possible for the Vikings to fall apart, but with the remaining schedule as favorable as it is, I think the Vikings have the best chance in the NFC to make the playoffs.

If the Vikings do get into the playoffs, I don't think they will get crushed in the first round because a likely opponent would be the Bucs or the Seahawks neither of which are that good.

Now in the second round, when they would have to play the Packers or the Cowboys it could get ugly.

Only time will tell.

Call me Mr. Negativity but the Vikes will find a way to eliminate themselves from the playoff picture. If they would happen to make it in, they'll get crushed in the first playoff game bacause it's the Minnesota way as of late for professional teams to find inventive ways to lose.

For now, Jackson and Major

For now, Jackson and Major Dad have silenced their critics. I'm stunned Jackson is playing this good.

Yes, the Vikings are a stone-cold lock to make the playoffs.

I think if you combined Brooky's, Jackson's and Holcombe's abilities you might get Trent Dilfer.

The Vikings' QB situation is in that sad of shape.

The Vikings will win four

The Vikings will win four games. This team lacks an identity. I thought the Vikings could pull a Ravens or the Bears two years ago when Kyle Orton was starting and the team went 11-5.

Win with defense. Win with running the ball. Win by not making mistakes. But that's not the makeup of our coach and there's the problem.

We have a finese-type coach who wants to run the West Coast offense - dink and dunk - yet the makeup of the team more suited for smash-mouth football with a punch-in-you-in-the-face-type defense.

You can't fit a square peg in a round hole.

Yes, the QBs are terrible and will never be any good (Tavaris included). The wide receivers are not good, but Sydney Rice has a chance to be a very good player (not this year) down the road.

The defense is top five in the NFL, but they are not miracle workers. In the second half, KC exploited the D's one weakness - suspect safeties. The Vikings D can be had in the middle of the field if the opponents receivers are willing to take big hits and hang onto the ball (like Tony Gonzales did).

Still, the D is one of the best in the NFL.

10 years from now the Vikings are going to looking at Mike Tomlin and wonder, "How did we let that young guy get out of town?" He's the real deal and you could see it before the Steelers played their first game.
