I think it can now be said that Brad Childress is a mentor of Andy Reid.
You might remember that the Vikings’ head coach spent time here as Reid’s offensive coordinator.
He must have learned well.
Yesterday the Vikings were in position to kick a field goal and win the NFC title game at the end of regulation.
So what happened?
The Vikings were called for having too many men in the huddle. Honest.
That moved them out of field goal range and Brett Favre thew an interception on the next play.
The Saints went on to win in overtime.
About the only thing missing would have been Childress declaring after the game that “I have to do a better job of putting players in position to make plays.” You think?
The Vikings have no one to blame for themselves for the fact that they are not advancing to Miami to play in the Super Bowl.
They fumbled the ball six times and Favre threw two interceptions.
But there is a silver lining, and another link to Reid and the Eagles via the Saints.
You have to feel good for the city of New Orleans, as it continues to rebound from Hurricane Katrina.
Then there’s head coach Sean Payton. He’s another former Eagles assistant and a resident of Newtown Square.
So it will be the “Who Dats” against the Colts in the Super Bowl. But first we have to muddle through the Pro Bowl, which has been moved from Hawaii to Miami and will fill the bill in the week off before the Super Bowl.
A smattering of Eagles will be on hand.
Hopefully all of them will be in position to make plays.
