I'm not saying that I don't want a better coach. But, maybe Frazier can become THAT better coach. He certainly had a good game plan today. And his team certainly executed it well. His team came to play. His young players having gotten more experience, are starting to play better as a unit.

I have the sneaking feeling they'll be looking back at Game number two thinking that they should not have let that game get away (e.g.-if the defence had only been able to keep The Colts from moving down 2/3 of the field with only 31 seconds left).

It's clear, that if The Vikings come to play, they have the talent to hang in in EVERY game. That means 7-9 to 9-7 record may be a long shot, but not out of the realm of possibility (ESPECIALLY as Ponder and the defence may=ture, and the offensive line gets used to playing together.

This was a great game to watch as a Vikings fan. And now Jerome Simpson will play. Ponder will have a downfield target to stretch the field.

Speaking of Ponder, he played a GREAT game. He was much better than ever on his reads, discipline, timing, decision-making and physical play. He put it all together for the first time. The defence looked very good as well. The special teams were fairly good, except for their coverage on a few low kicks. I'm feeling a LOT better about this team, now.

One huge win doesn't change my view of Frazier much at all. Still need to see more. I'm still in favor of seeing him replaced at season's end. But we can wait and see what he does with the remaining games of this season.

To me, it's about seeing improvement in Frazier. Today, instead of kicking a stupid field goal against a better team, he went for the TD. That's what you need to do against a better team (game theory wise). Today I saw one instance of a change. Let's see it the whole year.....

my point in bringing this thread back to life was the ORIGINAL subject, which still remains in the title, of firing the guy after week 2. not at the end of the year, not let's see how he does, blah blah blah...

but the knee jerking over reaction of doing it two games in to the season.

^Considering he went 3-13 last season, the reaction is hardly "knee jerk." And I'm just voicing my opinion on the matter, which is that I would still like to see him fired at season's end based on everything we have seen thus far, but I'm fine with seeing if he can make dramatic strides with the rest of this season.
