JIvers Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Granted, there are about ten minutes left on the clock, but I do not for one second believe the Vikings can launch a come-from-behind victory against the Bears. Rather than bash the entire offense for another puke-worthy performance, I'll suggest that Zygi should have brought in a special teams consultant along with offensive and defensive consultants. How do you miss not one, not two, but THREE freaking field goals in one game? How? Granted, the Vikings would still have lost today, but this is ridiculous.I do have to say this--I've backed Culpepper since he was drafted, but has he ever led a fourth quarter comeback in the NFL? I'm sure he must have, but I cannot think of when it happened.And how is it that every potential break--Orton's fumble returned for a TD was one--is cancelled out by some idiotic penalty? I was actually expecting every moronic mistake and bad break today, starting with Edinger's first miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.Hughes Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 He has led a few, not many though. I remember a Buffalo game a few years back lol.Gonna be a LONG year fellas, we havnet had one of these in a while ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-Ball Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 The way they have completely and I mean COMPLETELY went South, I would rather watch Bull Riding on OLN than watch these underachievers. Can we just forfeit the rest of the season and look forward to the 1st or 2nd overall pick? They are the worst team in the NFL and an embarassment to their fans, the state, and anyone who still is willing to call themself a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down to Earth Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Don't worry, I'm sure your season will be salvaged next Monday night as they play host to my Packers. Though hopefully they'll be as gracious as the Gophers were yesterday to the Badgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTro Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 so tell me, as of this point would you rather take Reggie Bush or Matt Lienart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-Ball Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Ah yes, the "Hot Stove League" for the Vikes, in October, no less. It's the only thing Viking related that deserves anyones attention... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.Hughes Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 We wont finish that low, maybe a top 5 pick but those guys will be gone #1 and #2.Who cares as long as we have a real staff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIvers Posted October 17, 2005 Author Share Posted October 17, 2005 I would put my money on the Texans having the first pick. I was watching that game on my second screen and Houston looked truly awful--worse than the Vikings, at least on the field. Question is, will the Texans take Bush, which means they want to stick with David Carr, or will they take Leinart and turn Carr loose.There is also the chance that Lawrence Maroney comes out early. Right, now the Vikings are looking like a top-five draft pick to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG ISLAND DUDE Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Ya! they suck. but they are still the Minnesota Vikings and I will always root for them. You poeple need to quit being a bunch of wagoneirs, who cares if they went on some stupid boat ride and they always loose at chicago. Start cheering for them anyway, For Cripes Sake we play the fudgepackers this week, AT THE DOME!! We are going to destroy those Fat wife havin', Cheese eatin', Drunkin', Bret Favre Licking', Wishin' they could have been invited on a kick arse cruise on lake Minnetaonka-in', Closet fudge(grenbay) Packers. Would the real Minnesota Vikings fans please stand up! Please dont tell me im the only true minnesota fan left. GO Vikes, GO Gophers, GO Twins, GO Wild, GO Twolves, and send the Lynx over to Greenbay as a cruel joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't mean people are done wanting them to win, it just means people are disappointed in their efforts and how bad their decision making skills are! I believe we are entitled to our opinions and that doesn't make us bandwagon... Actually I could care less if somebody called me bandwagon, I call it having a life again on Sundays.

colonel42 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 One of the few Viking Fans still there with you Big Island Dude. Yes, I agree embarrassing was the way every Viking fan feels. Just have to look at how they played every game this year though. I can't see where anyone can blame Daunte. What needs to happen is let the poor guy have some time. Heck the guy can't even do a three step drop with out 8 guys in his face. It's hard to believe they can't find someone out of 53+ guys that can give him some protection. Funny thing they come out on the first drive and Daunte's rolling out and funny thing it works. HMMMM wonder what the coaches were doing at that time "having hotdogs and beer" Just don't understand the play calling. The best thing out of the whole season will be that even after 3/4 of the way through the season they will still only be a game out of first. Not saying much for the division though!!!!!!! Well next week the Packers at home. SKOL VIKINGS Time to pull your heads out your fudge "Packer" hole!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otto_man Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 final score next week, Packers 10 Queens 3. Packers win on a blocked punt for a touchdown late in the game. can you feel the "boat" sinking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willy Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 The reason people are jumping off the ship is that they aren't even trying. They've already packed it in for the season. I am a die-hard Vikes fan, but this team has no heart, and no discipline. They get embarrassed every game.I've always stood behing Daunte, but not anymore. Time for him to sit a few games. Not saying he shouldn't be the starter, but he needs to watch from the sidelines a game or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Twins and take the Vikings with you. I am a big vikes fan but they are just terrible. Still the favorite to win the div, really want them to beat the pack but who knows they just look completely lost out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Donk Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Reggie Bush is awesome, I am dreaming of him wearing purple.... if Zigmund suspended all the starters on that boat, that might jeopardize our chances of a number one pick- having guys in there that try?????

Thats a whole lotta trash to be talkin for a team thats playing as poorly as the vikes are, Ill just keep waiting till my team has some consistency before i start in I wouldnt bet on either one of our teams for next weekends game and if the pack does by chance win I think Ill still keep my yap shut as neither one of our teams are anything to be boasting up.

Ditto, bareback....our friend, BigIsland, doesn't show up as often as most of us (thank God for that) but he usually comes in with both guns a blazin' and his eyes closed. I have tickets to the game this weekend and I can't believe I am not excited to be going. I will go and cheer them on the best I can but their is a level of disatifaction I have never felt before, including the Les Steckel year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
