Re: 2017 Vikings Exceeded Expectations

To me, the entire season is a failure because of the ending, just like 1998,2009, etc.

This post isn't about whether or not you're happy the Vikings didn't make it to and win the super bowl. None of us are happy with the result. The real question here is; when the season started how did you feel ...

Re: NFC Championship Reaction Thread

Came to reiterate this but glad you did it first as I don't really have the energy. I'm a supporter of Zimmer and he won't be fired obviously but his preparation and execution in the playoffs leaves much to be desired. There's simply no way a team should look that badly in a championship game. It ...

Re: Attacking the Eagles

Man, I have NFL Game Pass and I just re-watched that Philly game vs Atlanta. Their offense is ridiculously boring to watch. No less Nick Foles looks like a middle school QB out there. You can tell his coach has zero confidence in him and that he has no confidence in himself. I counted 7 quick ...

Re: OMG The Vikings WON THE GAME

People.

PEOPLE.

Since when do we get to be picky about how we win football games? Pretty sure we're not the Patriots or Packers.

But that isn't even really the point! Anyone trying to point to this game as a basis for "we just aren't any good" needs to remember that in the NFL, anybody ...

To call the Bears favorites is silly, yes, but the Vegas line is justified to me. Their best win (Oakland) is better than our best win (SD?).

Re: Assessing the Vikings at the One Quarter Mark

I'm definitely encouraged by what I've seen so far. Week 1 sucked, but i think it's pretty fair to say that it was clearly an anomaly. In my opinion, we have looked like a playoff team in Weeks 2 3 and 4.

Bridgewater looks good. Not great, good. He still occasionally holds the ball too long and ...

Re: NFL.com: Vikings season preview: Teddy Bridgewater or bu

I think it's both but only to an extent. I find people get carried away with comparisons and want to deny them if they aren't darn nearly identical but there are some clear parallels between Bridgewater and Ponder. There's no reason to ignore them just because there are differences too.

Hmmm. I ...

Re: NFL.com: Vikings season preview: Teddy Bridgewater or bu



I don't agree with it either but the link is appreciated. The author said Bridgewater's performance wasn't "Ponder-esque" and then he went on to describe exactly the type of performance we saw from Ponder on many occasions. :lol:

Well, not exactly. If we take QBR (and whether or not you believe ...

This blows. Still can't get over the blocked field goal TD.

Should be down 17-10 at worst. #### me

I'll be he isn't.

What is so horrendous about that hire? There are Vikes fans all over the board drooling over the Vikings opportunity to hire Zimmer, a longtime coach with a good reputation who has never been a head coach and has never been the defensive coordinator of a team with a playoff ...

They are just hammering out the deal, playing kissy face at winter park.

Hope like heck you're right. I'd be ecstatic with this hire. Living in Bengals country here in Louisville, I've heard nothing but the highest praise for Zimmer from Bengals fans. And praise from Bengals fans doesn't come ...

Re: 2014 Current and Potential Coaches

FFS!!! Hire Zimmer and be done with it. I want PROVEN candidates - not recent success flukes.

This this this. Why isn't this done?

Been sitting here hearing/reading reports from Cincinnati that Zimmer is ours for two full days now. I'm extremely concerned this isn't done yet. Now wondering if it ...
