It's not about the fans being down on the team. It's not about posters making fun of Cousins' religion. It's not about hypocritical unwavering faith crap as if you are a better fan. It's not about dreaming of what-if scenarios of Cousins leading the team to a SB win. It's not about any other sorry-ass lame excuse people create to appease themselves a couple of days after two division opponents move on in the playoffs.

Enough with the diversionary BS.

It's about the owners hiring the right GM. It's about the GM doing his f***ing job and bringing in better talent than the opposition. It's about the coaches effectively coaching and outthinking the opposition coaches during games.

That's the focus. Some of you might want to look into that. Or not.

So the problem is the fans aren't optimistic enough? [&:]

Viking fans wouldn't recognize optimism if it bit them in the ass!!!

Yes, blame the fans [:-]

Just calling it as I see it. That's OK, right?

Speaking of 'is everything ok' [:-]

BTW, you actually posted a diversion reply to my post about people posting diversions! Coincidently ironic (a made up term).

Oh, I just did a quick check of my posts. Posted a lot and just a couple with a version of a swear word in them. Must be your imagination. Or a fabrication.

Some rag believes JJ will be traded and proposed a trade with Arizona. JJ for:
- 2024 1st round pick (#4 overall)
- 2025 1st round pick
- 2024 3rd round pick (#71 overall)

While a proven player or two is not in the deal, I would sprout wings and fly there to secure that deal. Mainly because it offers a significant likelihood of getting one of the top 3 QBs.

Being able to take Daniels at #4 and still having 11, 42 and 71 for Defense and/or O-Line would be a really nice start to a rebuild.

And then two 1st round picks next year as well...

If we replayed the season over 5 times with a healthy Cousins:

We’d make the playoffs all 5 times.
Advance into the Divisional round 4 times.
Make the NFCCG 3 times.
Make the SB twice.
Win it once.

So 9-8 ( cousins normal win %) would get us in the playoffs all 5 times out of the nfc north..

Are you assuming cousins wins out?

What AI fed that line to you?

Did it have KOC coaching and Zero injuries All season?

This past seasons team was not playoff caliber even with Mr. Efiocre.. why?

Coaching and injuries to ol, receivers , defense in general,. Playing mattison, untill he gets hurt..

So many reasons..

I don’t drink purple koolaid any more and my glasses are jaundiced yellow, and jaded green, depressing blue…

What would happen if the Vikes resigned Kirk and drafted a QB 1st round or early 2nd JJ McCarthy?

My plan for the offseason. Sit back and let the front office do their thing...then stand up and start bitching/praising.


I have no control over what they do. I can fantasize and tell eveyone what I'd like them to do, but in the end I will not be upset if they do not see the same thing I see and do what I want.


My life will go on whatever they do.

Well ... first of all, you express your opinion all the time which makes post a freakin' lie.

That's okay with me ... if there's a chance you commit to just sticking with quiet fantasizing as your life goes on.

Fodder as the Vikings mull the state of their competitive rebuild:

3 of the NFL's 5 youngest teams in 2023 were in the NFC North.

2 of them made the playoffs and have advanced to the divisional round.

The 3rd has the No. 1 and No. 9 picks in the draft.

Conversely, the pro-Cousins crowd NEVER mentions his record. His .524 record over 12 years. His laughable playoff history. His nationally recognized disgraceful record in prime time until he won a game and 'got that monkey off his back'.
