Merged: Chilly Mind Games? "Leaning" towards Tarvaris

[Ron Sellers]

Is Brad Childress attempting to put his BA in psychology to use with mind games, or has he simply lost his mind from the pressure and scrutiny of being a head coach on a team with Favre and the accompanying must-win-it-all-now pressure?

Let's consider what Childress did in what, the space of 24 hours?

• Publicly criticized NFL refs, knowing that would draw a fine
• Revealed to the public that behind closed doors the NFL admitted they made a mistake on a call that went against his team
• Threw his starting quarterback under the bus
• Passive-aggressively called out his opponent's coach with the thinly veiled stealing signals comments
• Retracted those comments; well, not really
• If not created, certainly helped a QB controversy to get started
• Possibly created doubts in the mind of his team in his ability as a HC
• Possibly created a divided locker room on a team in dire need of stability

So, consider his decisions this past week: is it not reasonable to expect Chilly to screw up at some point on Sunday?
