The Official Minnesota Vikings 2013 Thread!!

[mrklean]

My favorite part of the game was at the end when it looked like Jennings was apologizing to Rogers and Rogers kept inching away from him to leave. Then when they interview Rogers and they asked him if they were “cool” he just laughed and said yea knowning he got the last laugh on that deal

[nofishfisherman]

That's why I said 44-10. The last 21 pts were garbage.

I'd say only the last 14 points were garbage. AP's touchdown right before half brought the Vikings within a score before halftime so thats hardly a garbage TD. Although anything after half was garbage.

No your wrong that was a garbage TD, because it was a garbage call!

I wish we could all give Musgrave credit for a ballsy call, but we all know it was a dumb play to call and AP bailed him out by making a play.

You might be right about the call but that doesn't make the touchdown meaningless. The other 2 scores were truly meaningless regardless of whether they were good or bad play calls.

[JosMN]

Actually it was a garbage TD because they were put there by a horrible pass interference call..

Ok, the run wasn't garbage, but the fact that they were in the position to get the TD was garbage. lol

[JosMN]

The fact of the matter is the vikings need help, and a lot of it. What I dont get is how Frazier can sit and defend what hes doing with the whole QB situation, or what "their" doing. "We are going to play whoever gives us the best chance to win." First its Ponder, then Cassel, then Freeman then Ponder.... I feel sorry for viking fans to be honest.

I was at the game and people were leaving mid 3rd quarter....

I didnt mind it since most of the fans left in the 4th were packer fans.

I'll give your fans this, I have been to the dome for many vikings/packers games and it has never been as loud as it was during/after that Patterson return. I just thought to myself "oh s---"

[FISHINGURU]

People were excited to actually see him with the ball for once lol

[DrJuice1980]

Hard to call the effort it took to get in garbage. I'm sure if you caught a 30" eye while fishing for sunnies you wouldn't call it a garbage catch. You'd say "what a fight it put up on my ultra light with 4lb test...."

[LMITOUT]

Nobody said the effort was garbage, but feel free to keep twisting words around.

[DrJuice1980]

Garbage call? What other options do we have to score a TD? A Rudolph out route? Would that have made you happy?

[LMITOUT]

Nobody said the play call was garbage either.

[rundrave]

Garbage call? What other options do we have to score a TD? A Rudolph out route? Would that have made you happy?

let me explain it.....10 seconds left on the clock you don't call a run play where the ball was at on the field. If Peterson fails to get in the end zone there likely wouldn't have been enough time to get another play run.

It was another silly-me call and AP bailed Musgrave out.

[LMITOUT]

The play call in this is moot. They should have never been in that situation to even contemplate the Peterson run. Even the Viking bobo's on KFAN said that was the worst PI call they've ever seen.

Regardless, the original point was that the score wasn't indicative of how putrid the Vikings played.

There you go being objective again. Don't you know that will get you booed from this forum? All the maroons on here cant realize why we blow so bad. Its a very fun thing to be correct about the Vikings all the time and then have people hate you for it.

I wonder how many Viking defenders have sore ears today after having Rodgers zip the ball right past their helmets? I wonder if Rodger is sore from all the pressure Jared Allen put on him last night??

I'm glad you get your NFL insight from meat sauce, a guy who nicknamed himself sludge, Chris I know nothing about sports Hawkey, and the less than common man. It wasn't a dumb call, it wasn't a gutsy call either. It was the right call to our only threat on offense. Finally a call that made sense, caught the D off guard didn't it. I wish I saw more of that from the Vikes staff. Did these so called NFL minds think Stafford's call was genius then? That'd be on par for the takes those guys have.

[DrJuice1980]

You're right though rundrave, we should've thrown a couple of incomplete passes and settled for 3. Just because that's what you're "suppose" to do in that situation.

I very much appreciate your explanation though, so insightful, really broadened my thinking. Cookie cutter offense is what this team is lacking....

You must be the only one in the world that thinks it was the right thing to do. A clueless call from a clueless coaching staff.

[DrJuice1980]

Tell me something Buck, O Wise One. What was there to lose? Football is a game of chess, and at that point that call was unexpected by the opposition. For once a call that caught the other team off guard. Castrate them for that though. Go herd some more sheep.

I'm not trying to stick up for this coaching staff because I think they're doing a terrible job but that call was spot on and if you think any other way then go join Bucks herd.

[LMITOUT]

Is your real name Mike Wobschall?

How you can sit there and defend this horrible team just screams delusional low information MN sports fan.

Good grief!

Do you watch the modern NFL and have any ability to comprehend what's going on at all?? Take a look at the football and its shape. The dam thing was meant to be THROWN!!! And that why you spent $49 million on Greg Jennings and gave up half of your draft for CP, and got Kyle Rupolph and paid Chong again.

Whats's there to loose?? Maybe some serious dollars??? If they keep sucking do you think people will buy the remaining tickets or have interest in the stadium??

Do you think GB or anyone else that's good would have ran the ball at that point????? Peterson was absolutely 100% lucky to get that ball in. It didn't catch the Pack of guard. They just did a [PoorWordUsage]-poor job of tackling combined with an AP amazing run. 9 times out of 10 he doesn't make it.

And what does it truly say about our QB situation??

Which is precisely why running the ball sortof makes sense. I dont recall who was all on the field for the play or the formation, but if they had a heavy pass look, then running the ball makes sense because the D wouldnt expect it.

Everyone in the stadium expected a pass in that situation, time left of the clock, distance, etc. Element of surprise and it worked.

Had it not worked everyone would be [PoorWordUsage] because they didnt pass, but the fact that it did work and people are [PoorWordUsage] puzzles me.

Please validate your opinion if youre going to be so objective. I'd like to know why you think Im a delusional low information MN sports fan.

I did not know the shape of the football changes in this modern era we are in. Was it square before? What does that say about our QB situation? mmm, so youre saying we should have thrown the ball in that situation and then you rip the QB? Maybe Aarun to AP seemed to be the best bet if we can get some blocking. I guess your hypocrisy knows no bounds.

I also did not know that it was luck that allowed him to score, silly me, I was thinking it was all the hard work and dedication to conditioning that allowed him to break through those tacklers and get in the endzone. What was I thinking, I must be a delusional, ill-informed MN sports fan.

They just love to hate Musky, that's all. Oh wait that isn't all, they love to troll as well. Oh wait that isn't all either, they love to contradict themselves. Theres more football knowledge in my morning stool than both of them combined.
