Thread Guidelines

  • Keep politics out. We are adults, news happens, and we can talk about it. What we don’t want is to go down the rabbit holes and turn a productive conversation into name calling and personal attacks.
  • Be cool to one another. Like it says above, just be civil. You don’t need to agree with everyone and that’s fine, you also don’t need to make it personal. Attack the argument not the poster.
  • Keep the NSFW to a minimum. We don’t need anyone getting in trouble at work for hanging out here.
  • All in all, be adults. Treat each other with respect and things will be fine. Mods will take out content they feel is pushing the boundary. If you want to reach out about something feel free to ask. We want to have robust discussions, that’s why we’re here. Just be civil and cool to one another.

I blame Vikings management for not having a decent back up QB. I get there were cap issues and that Cousins has never gone down before, but any given Sunday. Look how many QB’s are out injured this year.

Last week at Denver they asked KOC about the conservative play calling and settling for an FG and he said he would make that same call again.

He did it here with 3 and a half minutes. Way too much time to try and run the clock out. The bears had so much fucking time left after they drove the field that they had to kneel it down 3 times before kicking the game winning FG.

Terrible clock management.

He’s 60 yards out from an FG. Just try and get a PA pass for 10 or so yards. Need at least one first down to get the clock below the 2 minute warning.

Instead we kick the ball off to the Bears with 2:29 on the clock and they got a time out left. Way too much time.

Fuck this team. Hope they do not win another game this year, and the FTP passes them up for the #7 seed/

Dobbs is essentially a rookie though. He has a lot to learn about being a starter, and mastering this offense takes a LONG time.

Not without Cousins… we win this game going away with him under center, and we beat Denver too. With this D and Cousins? We are a playoff team.

glad the crowd is booing. this is yet another Prime time embarrassment.
Everyone gets to see the Vikings shit the bed, again.

All that is left is for FTP to make the playoffs as the Vikings collapse, and sign Kirk to a 3 year extension.
