The Official Minnesota Vikings 2013 Thread!!

Gotta give a shoutout to the refs for helping us preserve that draft pick.

[LMITOUT]

No kidding.

[luckycrank]

Priceless. After today I hope I never have to see Ponder in Vikings uniform ever again.

Refs really have it in for MN. Some really bad calls out there today. Glad to see we pulled it out in the end though. Dont want to lose that draft position, especially with the help we are getting. Should hopefully be able to lose out.

I agree refs seem to blow alot of cut and dry calls . Im betting 99.99 percent of people poled say gerhart was down before ball came out remaining .1 percent Ravens fans .Vikings will blow a draft anyway because the real issue is they cant develope players and get rid or cut them before the can develope any chemistry as a team apperantly all other nfl teams just draft the best players that don't need training . Fact is the've scored points and should have a differant win/lose ratio. In direct relation to a run run pas punt skeem and bonehead moves on the side lines that coupled .games shoouldnt be decided by bad calls and sketchy official play. Calls like that fumble ..ruin it for me

That was one of the most entertaining games in the last couple minutes I have watched in a while. Had I really cared about them winning I would have been [PoorWordUsage] but that back and forth was fun since this season is sunk. Patterson is clearly making a statement with getting more opportunities.

Hopefully petersons injury isn't too bad regardless he should be shut down the rest of the year.

[fishersofmen]

Yeah the refs were told which way this one would end. No surprise here pro sports have been running more in line with the WWE for years. Entertaining game though.

[Eric Wettschreck]

Fun game to watch knowing going into it the Vikings would lose. I wish it would have kept snowing. My garage was warm, the beer was cold, the food was yummy, and the guys had a heck of a time cracking jokes.

I'm not the kind of guy that bashes refs but I have to ask.............are these the real NFL refs or are the replacements back? Good Lord.

[FISHINGURU]

Vikings games are so much more fun to watch when your not cheering for them to win. When it seems like they are going to win you just say to yourself "yeah right these guys choke every time" and sure enough they do.

Can you imagine how painful of a season this would have been if your were hoping for them to win every game? I can't wait for a new coaching staff and nice draft pick.

[Hester]

I just wish we could of watched C. Patterson play more downs all season.

[CaptainMusky]

Hester I agree 100%, but it may have taken him a while to grow as a player, but he is certainly fun to watch now.

He definitely reminds me of when Harvin would touch the ball. Every play could be electric. Two different players, not annointing Patterson yet, but he does have some skills.

I was telling my wife the same thing last week. I can just watch the game and enjoy it for what it is. Its almost more fun to see the new and innovative ways they'll find to choke in the final minutes.

Saw this and it made me smile.......

Rank Vikes' needs in order from most important to least important:

Head Coach

Offensive Coordinator

Defensive Coordinator

QB

CB

S

OLB

Yes, I know that (sadly) there are even more holes than that, but those seem to me to be the most pressing. Ready...GO!

[CaptainMusky]

Wouldnt it be easier to just list the thing the Vikings DONT need?

Placekicker, Punter, and kickoff returner are the only areas we dont need to fill.

[nofishfisherman]

Here is my list in order:

Defensive Coordinator (worst defense in the leauge puts him at the top of the list)

QB (need stability, keep Cassel as a potential back up or short term starter while you groom a rookie, get rid of the rest)

Offensive Coordinator (not sure if QB sucks because of coordinator or if coordinator sucks because of QB, play it safe and get rid of both)

Head Coach (guilt by association)

Secondary (CB/S)

LB

DL

OL

That should just about cover it I think. I'm satisfied with WR, TE, RB, and the kickers for now.

[LABS4ME]

D coord.

O coord.

(both are terrible!)

QB

CB (You have one Safety spot filled w Smith, need CBs badly)

LB(s)

DL

then head coach (for whatever reason... not in the locker room to see why, but this team has not given up trying to win for him... I think there are better options, but I think you need better coord. first)
