Who knows? With the new coaching regime in place I have a pretty good feeling things are about to change


I feel cautiously optimistic about the new staff (especially Turner), but you need a QB to win consistently in this league, and we don't have a guy like that on the roster. Hopefully, we ...

Definately smells like a troll [/quote]


Is that all you got?

Technically correct, although T-Jack's contribution was less-than-lengedary.....


I guess you could throw Brett Favre's name in there, although his ring was acquired prior to his coming here.

As for getting the most out of Harvin... the Vikings certainly got more out of him than Seattle has so far.[/quote]

X-Factor? How about non-factor.

I can already see the replies to that in my mind’s eye; “But Cliff, any player that scores a touch down is a factor in the game!”

In a game that is 43-8 though? It was an unnecessary score.

Just like they didn’t need him in the regular season. Just like they ...

Harvin goes from non-factor for most of the season to x-factor in the biggest game of the year. Timing is everything.

Yes, and those wins change everything.

It would be nice just to get a whiff of a Super Bowl, but that doesn't seem to be imminent.

Useless list. If you don't have the ring, it don't mean a thing.

Matt Cassel is not the long-term answer at QB, and I don't believe we have one on this roster. He is the best that we have, but that's only because the other two are so God-awful. This position needs to be addressed in the draft, and hopefully it's not another Ponder. Until the QB position is fixed ...

You can't win consistently in this league if you do not have a solid NFL quarterback. Christian Ponder was drafted way too high and will never be starter material. The two other qbs are guys other teams didn't want. Adrian Peterson's best years are being squandered the way Barry Sanders were. Until ...

Can we name a quarterback who never did the first? Maybe Montana.

Or #2, #3, if we had made the point after, maybe we could have been trying for a FG, Hail Marys are called exactly that, they don't often ...

1) Fumble in the endzone for a touchdown for Dallas.
2) Horrible pick thrown to Scandrick.
3) Laughable "Hail Mary" at the end of the game that didn't even reach the endzone.
4) Has lost every game he started this year.



How much praise should we heap on him?

No one was actually killed.

Are we sure it isn't our HC that is exhibiting concussion-like symptoms? It could explain some of his decisions......

Father time seems to be catching up with him. The effort is there, but the production is lacking. Last week he got owned by a rookie 4th-round draft pick and today he was invisible. Same thing seems to be happening to Julius Peppers, btw. Perhaps one day you wake up and find out you just can't do it ...
