Who are people most upset at?
Allen: Initially, people were more frustrated with the head coach, Brad Childress, than they had been before. But as stuff from behind the scenes came out on Randy Moss — yelling at a catering service, blatantly quitting on what should have been a touchdown against New England and refusing to fly back with the team from Providence, Rhode Island — the opinions are beginning to change. PFW: Can the Vikings rally around all this in a weird way and somehow make a run? Allen: They’re going to have no choice. We all know that Brad Childress is not the most popular coach in the history of this fan base. A few prominent players told me this week: The last thing they wanted to see (heading) into the Arizona game was the head coach fired because they could just not absorb another major distraction during the season where we’ve had major distractions. So, they have to win the Arizona game; I think they have to win five to seven in a row to become relevant again. And it has to start this weekend.
