I have come to a decision......

Post by vikesbumeout »

After growing up 0-4 with awesome Vikings Super Bowl teams.........then watching the NFL hand the 09 SB to the Saints.........its our time.

I don’t want to “hope” for a playoff.......”hope” Kirk beats .500........etc.

I want it ALL and I want it before I say hello to Scooter.

So you think the NFL is rigged and they will hand us the Lombardi this year?

I wasn’t even alive for the first three and was born for the 4th. Grandpa died saying put a damn Vikings flag on my grave when they win. That is the lot of a Vikings’ fan.

Spielman paid $84 million for “hope,” but you can hope in one hand and shit in the other, then see which one fills up first.

You can buy hope, but you have to build champions.

I'm honestly worried. I was not impressed with cousins.

The fucking Bills?
It's been 32 years since one of MN's four major sports teams has been to the Championship/Superbowl.
Every single year is failure until we win one. 4 teams, 32 years. That's roughly 128 consecutive failed seasons.

And Barr got ran over by Allen etc..

The whole team collectively shit their pants in this game.

You should look towards the coaching staff.

Zimmer hasn't proven to be as good as some have crowned him.

He basically has the same numbers as Childress did in the same time.

Would you make all these excuses for Keenum? Bridgewater? Or any other quarterback?

I just do not understand how we can pay $84 million for a quarterback who goes 8-7-1, including 1-13 on third down with playoffs on the line at home against a division rival that rested its starters.

Yet the previous year we go 13-3 with Keenum and it was all Shurmur and luck.

I think you are focused on Cousins’ contract and equating that with giving him a ton of excuses and leeway. It isn’t objective. Had Keenum been successful in turning around things in Denver instead of only increasing their win total from the previous season by one you’d be singing a different tune. Remember though that things got better here and in Denver when Keenum was in, but they got worse here with Cousins.

I think your optimism and deflecting blame for Cousins is just a troll. Although some of you think my bitterness toward Cousins is a troll.

My hope in this team was lost in that Chicago game. Until I see them beat some good teams like they were doing a few years ago I am not gonna get my hopes up. The NFL isn’t gonna just hand us a Lombardi because they feel sorry for us sad masochistic bastards who hope for this team every year.

We have the talent. The question remains whether we have the coaching to extract a title out of that talent

The Bills game was totally on the coaching staff. The Bills had a rookie quarterback making his first start on the road. The Vikings coaches thought the Bills woudl do exactly what they would do: run a max conservative offense without taking a single risk. So, they showed up flat and unprepared. A good team can often survive one or the other when they are playing a bad team like the Bills, they can't survive both though.

Well then you should have lots of time. I'm positive Scootz went to Heaven, you on the other hand.... dress for warm weather. :mrgreen:
I hope your paying customers get better advice.
