Beating SF at home in a regular season game where Deebo and Trent Williams were out, easily translates to the Vikings beating SF (at SF) in a playoff game where those 2 were playing. The Vikings would definitely be in the Super Bowl. It's similar to where Jeron Hall looked good for a couple of drives in his first start, so we knew he would perform well when recovered from injury, and given another chance to start.

Joining the like-minded crew, marty? The point is the team we started with, the one coming out of the gate, was good enough to beat anyone in the NFC. Be careful marty with the Deebo and Williams excuse, one might consider it a hypothetical qualifier. The team we finished with wasn't close even close. That happens. Too bad for us -- you'd think, but some of you seem happy to enjoy the way it turned out; or is that just a realist thing?

I gravitate to warped senses of humor so obviously I’m going to respond to Bill’s posts LOL. Interesting balance of football saavy, philosophical skepticism, and verbal punji stake craftmanship. I’ll try and regroup and hold my temper down … hard for an ol’ frustrado like me.

The bottom line is, I'm just tired. In less than a few months there will be some clarity but it just seems so far away.

Nate -> RE: General Vikes Talk (2/1/2024 1:10:11 AM)
Always a pleasure reading the posts here, I can feel the passion from the Viking brethren. A few thoughts: I loved watching the lions choke. Many want new blood winning. If the lions win a bowl before we do I’m done. Same reason I didn’t want the aints to win, the bills to win, Cincinnati, the Texans , etc. it was hard enough to see the buccaneers win ffs. I’m a Viking from birth to death and screw all the superbowless teams hanging with us. I root for us to be the next off the winless list always, and none of the others. We’ve had a lot of teams that could’ve would’ve but never did. Let the other teams feel that despair too. We need a. QB. We need OL and DL upgrades. We need secondary improvement Our coach needs balls and to shed his toxic positivity. Our GM needs to stop shorting stock and hedge fund managing and learn to build a freaking team. We need some ice cold in our participation trophy regime. Cut the high priced, low performers and draft some studs damnit!!! The Lions have drafted well despite prideful emotion drives Campbell. The Pack has drafted well despite ego driven lafleur. The Vikings have drafted horrendously and also have a conservative empath not willing to make tough choices. The bears….well they may overtake us too if we continue on this path of incompetency. I want to see a superbowl before I’m gone. We need a QB to get there. Mahommes and Brady have proven that. There are KC and NE teams that had no business even making the Super Bowl let alone win it, save for a great QB and coach. KFC is not it. I don’t want competitive failure. Reach for the stars and live with the risk. Get that QB or keep trying until we do. Otherwise we’re just a perennial competitive loser at best. Cheers Viking brethren, may the odds be in our favor. -Mockingjay.

Nate -> RE: General Vikes Talk (2/1/2024 1:17:42 AM)
As a side note, I may have had a couple to many tonight. Apologies for bad grammar and bad punctuation. I’m just a frustrated Vikings fan watching an unimpressive chiefs and 9ers team play for a title we should already have had. Boooooooo. Maybe the twolves are our savior… 🙈

We'll know the status of the Human Myth in March, so it's getting close. Set a low bar for free agency (sign a guard and call it a day). Hold your breath during the draft as Collaborative Word Salad busts out his new sockless penny loafers.

Seriously? selective memory. All they remember is winning three games after a shit start, and beating an injured San Fran team, at home., way too early in The season, and overlooking the negative rate of a couple dozen in turnover margin… “ that team was the best EVER! , because…KFC!!!” Not playing our starters, AT ALL, In just 3 preseason games has proven, for almost 4 years straight.. it has been a stupid idea to prepare for the regular season.. Totally dysfunctional management, top to bottom.
