Its so fun to be right about the Vikings all the time.

1. I have been a long-time critic of Musgrave, and ALL of you are finally starting to come around.

2. Some of you are finally starting to see that JA is not worth much at all. We overpaid bigtime and now we are getting what we deserve. Good teams dump their overpaid scrubs on loser teams like us. Greg Jennings.

3. How is Greg Jennings doing btw?? Having that Pro-bowl season? I bet they cant even tell he is gone in GB. GB and NE keep plugging in no-name recievers and getting the job done. They don't blow their whole draft on one guy. Cord Patterson.

4. How is Patterson doing??? Lighting it up?? Nope, in fact, he barely ever gets on the field. Here's an idea. Lets spend lots of money and draft picks to get weapons, but have nobody to throw them the dam ball. Great idea. In the mean time we don't have a backup RB or anyone that can play LB. But you all said it was such a great idea to draft Patterson.

5. Sharrif Floyd and the new CB. Why don't they ever play?? We have 3 first-round draft picks and we never play them????? A first-round pick should ALWAYS start and play the entire game, otherwise they truly weren't a first round pick.

6. Laughing stock of the QB world. We gonna try and wear that used jock strap with Josh Freeman for the next 3 years and when that doesn't work bring in someone like him or McNothing??

7. To everyone that complains about the O line. Yes I think we need help, especially at RG. But if the coaches had the slightest ability to scheme or play call we would look way better. Also help to have an actual QB. We have neither.

8. To everyone who complains about the secondary. They would look way better if we actually got pressure on the QB with the front 7.

9. John Carlson? How do you ever put him on the field over CP?? Is Patterson that stupid and raw that he cant figure it out??

10. AP. As good as he is there is no way we ever win a SB with him.

Every one of those decisions are the coaches (Frazier)...you will see very shortly how those decisions panned out for the Minnesota head coach.

By the way, your take on Allen is wrong...he EARNED his $$$ while here in Minnesota. The only mistake they made was not asking him to restructure his deal this year.

And it is always fun when a guy comes on a message board and goes item for item on all the things "he obviously knew and made sure he said over and over to everyone long before it became a reality"....

In my opinion, the only way to fix our current state is to be willing to completely start over. I don't mean we have to get rid of everyone, but we can't keep trying to make the big splash and fill that one hole.... Usually folks say the Patriots are the model franchise.... even they whiff on free agents..... Amendola being a current example.... but they have a really good structure in place of depth, scheme and they are really good where it matters.... Coach, QB and on 3rd down.

Sometimes it hurts when you are so right like I have been about the Vikings all long.

I love how you think we SHOULDNT improve the wr position simply because we dont have a qb... Gregg Jennings has looked pretty dam good whenever he actually gets a chance to catch the ball. Money well spent imo. What are the vikes supposed to do? Sign a bunch of arena league football players on the cheap because they dont have a top 5 qb in the NFL? Makes absolutely no sense.... ZERO. you should always be looking to improve the team, especially in the NFL where a 2-14 team can be 6-0 the next year. Stop with the "we shoulve never signed Jennings" nonsense. Hes our best wr and perfect to help groom patterson.

Plus when you have good WR, you can lure a good QB here easier. Or you can train your rookie QB better is their receiver can catch the ball, and they feel confident in the receiver to catch the ball.

CART before the horse. When will you guys realize that the futher you are away from the ball the less you matter?? Pretty sure that the guys Brady is throwing to are a bunch of no-namers. Doesn't seem to be phasing them.

So Buck, who do you plan on taking over as the starting QB? SHould we have Peyton Manning? Or should we get Tom Brady? Then there is Drew Brees, but he just got schooled by Brady so he isnt worth anything. I think we should take Manning. Then we will win.

I was begging and pleading for us to draft a QB in last springs draft. Wouldn't have taken much to move up and give Barkley a try. Oh wait. We blew all of our pics on CP. You don't have to draft 1 2 or 3 to get that franchise QB. Some of the best QBs in the league weren't top three picks. Just ask Rodgers, Brees, Brady, Kapernick, Russell Wilson. Its like chess. The only real piece that matters is the king (QB).

I wouldnt suggest we "blew" all our picks on patterson. Qb is the biggest carp shoot in any draft of any sport and there wasnt much there at the position last year imo.

U can see Patterson has a ton of talent. Hes not Troy Williamson. Its a shame our coaching staff can't figure out how to get him in the game.

Its pretty obvious this coaching staff needs to either wake up and throw some wrinkles in our vanilla cover 2 and our vanilla "power" running game or theyre gonna be gone sooner then later. The bit isn't working anymore, if it even ever was

Buck, I am not disagreeing with you, the QB is the key position, we need one, but I think we did pretty decent in last years draft. Now we should have never stretched for Ponder. We will have a high draft pick this year, I hope they go QB, even if we have other needs.

Cause a DE or a MLB is the missing piece to winning a title. The highest paid DE ever has worked so well for us already crazy

Clowney is a sure thing like Jamarcus Russel was a sure thing a few years ago.

Or we could just keep the d we have and give up 35 points every game to the point where it doesnt matter who our qb is, you know, like right now...

Jared Allen has the most sacks in the NFL since THE VIKINGS aquired him in 2008. Its really hard to please you buck. REALLY HARD

Buck, just make sure you put all of these GREAT and GRAND predictions on the Board BEFORE they happen. I don't think a lot will argue your point of how important a QB is, not even the Vikes, considering we keep trying to bring guys in that will work out, but to come on here and post your genius thoughts WELL AFTER THE FACT, doesn't give you a whole lot of credibility.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
