Vikings lose!

[Graf Orlok]

Go figure!

We played a horrible game today!

1. My husband is crying in his beer. Been a Vikes fan for 30 years!

Live in Tampa, but hate the Bucks.

[Graf Orlok]

2. I've been a Vikes fan all my life...

and every year I ask myself "Why?".

:shrug:

[Stephist]

3. Maybe this year they will just suck all year and save the fans the pain...

of a late season melt down. You want to know why? Becuase we are Vikings fans thats why.

And damn aren't we so much better with out Randy Moss?

5. Viking fan

I been a fan since they started in minnesota . There biggest problem is they got rid of Moss but should have dumped Daunte and Tice instead . Daunte loses more game on fumbles and interceptions than any other QB .But the media blamed Moss for all the problems instead of Cullpper and Tice.

[Graf Orlok]

6. Tice is the problem.

Not Culpepper. Culpepper has the skills. I just think if he had the right coach, he could settle down in the field.

[rateyes]

4. I'm dying here....

Culpepper really sucked today. The offense did NOTHING--managed 2, count them 2 field goals. The only touchdown coming on DEFENSE...go figure. Daunte didn't throw ONE PASS toward Troy Williamson. Why the hell did we draft him if we aren't going to use him? IMHO, Mike Tice needs FIRING RIGHT NOW! He is a sorry coach.

And, how many times did Tampa have 3rd down and forever to go, and hit Galloway for 30 yards and a first down? WTF is going on with this team?

[Graf Orlok]

7. The problem is Tice.

Plain and simple. His overall record of wins versus losses is three more losses than wins (I don't have the exact numbers).

[Robeson]

8. Games are won and lost in the trenches. And today, our offensive line...

...was truly offensive.

Vikings rushing today:

- 16 Rushes for 26 yards.
- Only 12 of those carries were by RB's for 14 yards.
- RB's averaged 1.16 yards per carry.
- Bennett had 6 carries for -1 yards.

Now those are some ugly stats.

Oh, and Brian Williams is a horrible nickle back. The ref. who called the penalty on the first Wiggins touchdown which was taken away, must work for Diebold, because there was no penalty, i.e. it was a vapor call. The second touchdown that was taken away from Wiggins was also just as nebulous of a call. And of course, we have a coaching squad that came off of a scrap pile.

[Graf Orlok]

10. I agree.

Man...there should be something done with the horrible calls refs make. We were literally robbed two touchdowns today. There's no question about it.

[trotsky]

20. Totally agree.

That and I don't understand why our coaching staff didn't figure out that the Bucs CONSTANTLY were showing the blitz, making Daunte change the play, then backing OUT of the blitz, taking away the play he had just called to! They kept doing it, and it kept working! The announcers saw it, I saw it, why didn't our coaches see it? Shee-it!

9. Was at the game today. Thank God for beer. Offensive line stunk, but

good lord the defense was good. I miss Moss already. We miss Birk, but I think they underestimated Moss and how he opened up the offense. We shall see! Great seats though. 35 yard line lower level first row behind the Viking bench. I love Daunte. Brad Johnson too. Kind of distracting sitting there.

[Graf Orlok]

11. I'm jealous!

I've never been to a Vikings game live before. That's something I'd love to do someday.

[kikiek]

12. Miss 1/2 the game from distractions..paid too much for 1/2 the season.

My hubby is very understanding. My only vice though, but it is so expensive. If I had another one I would give it to you. Will keep your name in case one comes up.

[Graf Orlok]

13. Hey...thanks a lot!

I appreciate it! Greatly!

[kikiek]

14. Sure! You should hit Chicago Av before the game anyways. Good bands!

[vikegirl]

15. The Vikings never disappoint....

...in disappointing me. :cry:

[KitchenWitch]

16. Thank the gods I did not get to watch this game

My son had fall baseball today...

[bamacrat]

17. Life long Vikings lovers have learned to have thick skin.

Fuck Gary Anderson.

[northzax]

18. Culpepper netted me -18 points

in my fantasy league this week. I lost by 17. All I needed was for you to BREAK EVEN, argh.

[Berserker]

19. Tice

you are and asshole and you need to leave Minnesota. Last year when your idol the smirking chimp came to Minneapolis you gave him a Vikings jersey and now I have to think that not only do you drink the kool-Aid and are a fucked up coach but the chimp has a Vikings jersey hanging in his closet with the number 1 on it. Like your idol you also need to resign.

[KitchenWitch]

21. Hear hear

95% of the problems with the Vikings can be directly attributed to Tice. He was a wonderful offensive line coach...a fair offensive coordinator but as a head coach he SUCKS!

[MNDEM2004]

22. That's what happens every year.

They build us up only to let us down. Maybe the new owner will see the light!

[Elwood P Dowd]

23. Well, if you guys had a brand new Cadillac like Tampa Bay

things might have been different. Had to get than in since Caddy played for my old school, Auburn.
