Our defense kept us from starting 2-6. We damn near lost to the bears and league-worst panthers.

Those two one-score 'wins' prevented Minnesota from starting 0-6... could have really been in the running for Caleb Williams. Woulda, coulda, but those were the days.

It was quite the roller coaster of a year.

Poor start for team and Cousins

2 game stretch of Cousins playing great against good competition. Defense improved. (maybe get on a run)

Achilles

Passtronaut on fire

KOC turtling up(DEN and CHI) and momentum lost, Passtronaut reverting back to mean

Finally, defense breaking down and the gambler(Mullens) gives more than he takes. Hall is a project.

Pick #11

We would have hoped for a playoff run if Kirk had stayed healthy, we can hope, but really can't assume.

Maybe if we played the exact same teams, under the exact same game and roster situations, and maybe I’d we shit in one hand and jerked off you know who with the other..

yes I'm going to chase you around the board.

I'm a bigger sycophant than you ever could have imagined.

IMO Your negative anti-pessimistic campaign seems to assume that some posters are negative just for the sake of being negative.

No. That would be a troll ... which is different.

The only thing safe to assume depends on the situation when you get there. Which is fluid. Might indicate winning, might indicate losing.

Call it as you see it. Nothing wrong with that.

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?

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.

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.

The one that started 1-4 "coming out of the gate"? Seriously?
