WHOA

"Tailgaters at Jets game set Vikings fan's car on fire"


People are Frickin' crazy

Getting scary
We do the "away fans' thing for Wild games every year
Its been damn fun, but turned a little concerning this past year in Nashville.
People are becoming less tolerant and a lot more belligerent.
Its becoming "watch your back" times. Which is just what someone friendly told us in Nashville last year before we went in to the venue. They were right.
Never even had a sniff of that anywhere else. Strange times.

Thank the President. That tone is set from the top and his followers love following his lead.

Vikes lose

Great day

One of the worst days, ever, sportswise
I must be getting older and wiser, because I slept well and was over every one of the disappointments within seconds.
GB losing painfully helped.
it felt like we simply gave NO the game, so I'm not bailing on the Vikings yet.
We were as banged up as we could get. Held Brees to historically low numbers. Played a team geeked up like ADD kids on Mt Dew, and did most of the damage to ourselves.
Cousins was not up to the task most of the night, pretty disappointing.
Diggs and Thielen are both wonderful players, but this loss is on those two as much as it is on anyone.
How they handle it and move forward is what counts.
You have to take the bad with the good. We shall see if they get that.
I keep thinking our schedule gets easier, but not sure it does. We've got some damn tough ones coming up yet. And we desperately need the bye.

I'll just say what the Red Sox fans always used to say to Yankee fans. (like 27 times)

"so, you bought yourselves a WS ring. Congrats, assholes."


Hey, they said, it ... not me.

Last drive of the first half and first drive of the second half were killers. Thielen fumble was a potential 14 point swing. I love the go for it mentality on 4th down, but you should really draw up a play that doesn't involve Treadwell making a clutch catch of a catchable ball.

Yep, hated the 4th and 1 call and execution.

The Saints defender made a great play on that ball. That wasn't Treadwell's fault.

Nobody is perfect. He blew it and that was a big contributing factor in the loss. Diggs gave up on his route on the pick 6 too. Those two plays pretty much determined the game.

They needed to do better

You can't half ass it against the better teams in the league.

I'm always looking ahead ... saw the halftime score as 20-10 us right before the Thielen fumble.
Amazing how quickly the wheels came off.
Even if it had just been a fumble recovery and not the huge return (compounded by the Treadwell Duane Rudd moment) ....

Watch it again Scott. Treadwell got both hands on the ball and the defender didn't knock it out. He flat out didn't catch it. Catching the ball while getting hit is part of playing the position. Thielen and Diggs would have caught that ball.

Yup

add to that his slam dunking the helmet.

Dude doesn't get it.

Neither do the Vikings at this point. Try someone else please.

IMO
Everson Griffen's return was a spectacular flop. 2 penalties and zero impact

And they continue to neuter Hunter by putting him on the left side when Griffen is around.

Read a story that says Cousins is a flop already. LMAO

Any hack can write that junk.

Cousins isn't a problem at all, with two exceptions, the propensity to fumble and the balls continuously getting batted down.

Otherwise he's been a godsend. Cousins is not a bush or flop at all.

Specifically against the Jets, where he tried to escape the pocket but was sacked on the 1/2 yard line narrowly escaping a safety. Then the backward pass to Diggs that he deliberately spiked because he was covered (good call), but it shouldn't have been backward (STOOPID).

In this game the fumble that was reversed was on odd play. Just go down.

I never said he was perfect. But then Favre is an all time great who had a tendency to throw a boneheaded pick at the worse possible time. Even the greats make you scratch your head sometimes.

And that is where the Cousins/Favre comparison begins and ends.

I wasn't disagreeing with you, mostly agreeing and expanding on your thoughts, giving some examples of specific bad plays. He's been great for the most part. I hope he can stop the types of things I mentioned though.

8. Minnesota Vikings

Record: 4-3-1
Week 8 ranking: 6

The Vikings' inability to consistently win the turnover battle is becoming a concern. Whether it is Kirk Cousins' untimely miscues (he leads the league in fumbles and fumbles lost since becoming a starter in 2015) or the barrage of mistakes that occurred in the Vikings' loss to the Saints, Minnesota is 0-3-1 in games in which they are on the wrong side of the turnover differential. -- Courtney Cronin

Cousins is the best QB the Vikings have had since Favre. Likely the best QB in Vikings history outside Tark and Favre. I might be wrong but I can't think of anybody else.

Watching teams like the Rams Chiefs and Patriots I wonder if Zimm is the guy. Those teams don't care about time of possession or establishing the run. They push the ball all the time and are in GO MODE.

Zimm flat out let the Philly game come down to an onside kick to decide it, that was completely unnecessary and ridiculous IMO.

every time the Vikings get a lead they sit on it. I hate running the ball on 2nd and long.

All the money spent on defense and a defensive guru as head coach. If the defense isn't top shelf what good is Zimmer? IMO he should be doing more with less on defense if he is so smart. The money needs to be invested in the Oline.

The Vikings are NOT a #8 team. They simply are not. Good teams do not turn the ball over and lose games like that.

Gives me an appreciation for what MN did defensively last week.

And that you have to play more wide open than what Zimmer wants to do.
