Having been a constant fan for 50 + years, I have had my hopes crushed far too many times to get over enthused by a team that lives and dies by last minute come backs. They are fun to watch this year but I have little faith that it will lead to a championship this year. As far as being chronically d...

If you are really full of determination, desire, and leadership, you should never look like we did for the first 3 quarters, and for many parts of games this year. There have been too many stretches, often against weak teams, where we were looking unprepared, unresponsive, and failing to adapt.

I feel much the same. This years team is an entertaining circus performance but nothing capable of a championship run. Sloppy coaching decisions, weak Lines, some critical undisciplined play ( ie Reagor), but a massive load of good luck and a bunch of guys that never seem to quit. Its fun, it leads ...

Well, this season has quickly turned putrid…..

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing this week...flalsh backs of stubborn old Zim refusing to adapt his schemes in-game or week to week. This year, we are doing so well, we arent going to get any high draft picks.....double edged sword when you perform above your expectations.

Our Oline has been a blatant problem for years, It is now so bad that we have NO running game either. Having norun threat makes Cousins job near impossible......I never thought I would be defending him, I never wanted him, but this year, he is doing his job well. He is NOT one of the Vikes problems....

The defense has big issues. Its not just injuries, Yes Smith was missing, but he and our other big names are getting old in football years and have lost a step or two. We will need some changes and someone capable of coaching them. NO room for nostalgia here, its always smarter to trade an older guy...

I dont know what concussion rules in the NFL permit but I do know for young atheletes in high school, a third concussion in one season means you are out for the season. Darrisaw has 2 now....anyone know what the NFL limits are?

Well, when you are 10-2 and every win has been by the skin of your teeth, you wont get a lot of confidence from the odds makers. The VIkes need to have some dominating, big margin wins before anyone other than their devoted fans will show much confidence in them. The only blow outs in this years Vik...

This game feels very much like one of those weeks where the team will be looking 2 weeks ahead and assume they can beat the hapless Lions by just showing up. This kind of game can tell you something about the coach. Its really his job to keep them laser focused on THIS WEEKS opponent. If they are pr...

what separates the Eagles and Cowboys from us is their OL/DL.....They are bigger and far more aggressive. Our skill players match up pretty well against anyone. Cousins has finally shown that he will show up in big games. The lines are the foundation for everything though and we just arent on par. I...

I know its hard to argue with our 10-2 record, and I worry that our coaches are content knowing that they are cementing in their job security even though they realize their game plan will not work on upper tier teams and post season level of play. I feel like they are showing ownership the limits of...

Every game lately seems to reinforce this feeling that we are " one and done" in playoffs. Relying on having a lucky horseshoe up yer butt is NOT a gameplan when facing good teams. Its a fun formula for the regular season giggles but no way does this current level of play get us near the S...

after the pitiful prime time effort the Vikes posted against the Cowboys, I cannot fault any analyst who pays them little attention. They followed this up with a pretty close call against a mediocre team in New England. We have a great record but its built on a bunch of very close calls, many agains...

Its just disgusting that you have to look all the way back to the 90's to see a respectable, intimidating Viking OL. I dont buy the silly scheme of a smaller but mobile OL. Todays great teams have Large AND Fast guys. Its just a cop out to say that we have an OL thats good for a specific game plan b...
