The Minnesota Vikings loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has most likely knocked them out of the playoffs.  The most disturbing news to come out of the game is that all four starting defensive lineman could be suspended.

The final act came in Sundays game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, when defensive end Ray Edwards hit Buccaneers quarterback Jeff Garcia way after he threw the ball.

The troubling thing is that defensive tackles Pat and Kevin Williams face suspension for violation of the substanc abuse policy.  Also, defensive end Jared Allen is facing suspension for a series of illegal hits on quarterbacks.

So, what does the latest hit show? It shows that Childress has no control over his lockeroom.

Any coach after hearing that their star defensive end is facing a possible suspension for illegal hits would rip a new one into his team.  Then tell them that anyone takes any undisciplined penalties for illegal hits will have to face serious consequences.

Also, if that is not enough Childress will be highly questioned for a fourth down call, which was a pass.  Especially, when you have a hot running back in Adrian Peterson, who was also had an average of over four yards a carry for the game.

In the end Vikings owner Zigy Wilf should give Childress his walking papers.
