As I can see by the many threads on how bad the Vikings are, it seems to me that Vikings fans are starting to "Embrace the suck". For many of you, you have never been down this road before. But before you go jumping off of bridges or switching teams, you have to remember that this happens. Teams go up and down in cycles. Right now is a down cycle for the Vikings. Kind of like the down cycle for the Packers during the 70's. Only not as bad. The good news, it will eventually change. Since 1970, if I remember corrcect, the Vikings have only been on the bottom of the division 2 times. Not bad. It's not fun, but the thing is, the next year it gets better. The Vikings are not Detroit. They will not stay on the bottom. So have some faith, and although I know it's hard..............

But I know what you mean. It'll get better. Because it really can't get much worse.

Minnesota may not be Detroit, but there have been many, many teams in the history of the NFL that have gone multiple years finishing below .500. This front office just seems to be a little too content with sucking. That's one of the biggest problems.

I wholeheartedly agree with you, sir. Too often do people forget that sports work in cycles of ups and downs. No reason to not be intrigued by what the future holds for this team.Raptorman wrote:As I can see by the many threads on how bad the Vikings are, it seems to me that Vikings fans are starting to "Embrace the suck".
