Let the excuses begin

Before I worry about the Vikings, I would like to hear the excuses for why some folks ONLY post on this site after a Viking loss.  For 2 weeks... not a peep.  Now you can't shut 'em up.  It's almost like they want the team to lose, JUST so they can tell everyone how right they've been.

LOL! Congrats on one of the STUPIDEST posts of the year! (although, it's just day 1 out of 365, you'll no doubt be surpassed!)

I would like to hear WHY number of posts or WHEN someone posts somehow NEGATES that poster's OPINION? Do tell.

So, according to YOU,  30, 40, or 50 years of dedicated fandom to these chronic fucking losers doesn't matter because our number of posts doesn't please YOU??!!! How fucking arrogant is THAT opinion!

There are MORE than enough Blind Allegiance fans posting on this site. You know, the one's that actually track when and how much another fan posts on a fanboard? Or whether or not that poster's OPINION matches THEIRS? If that's how you "rate" a fellow fan, you're pathetic. Just because YOU CHOOSE to post on this site religiously does not mean EVERY fan needs to do so. Got it?

NO "excuse" is necessary for longtime fans expressing their dissatisfaction with yet ANOTHER under-performing Viking Squad, REGARDLESS of how often or infrequent they may CHOOSE to post on this site. 

I'm actually looking forward to the inevitable, endless posts of how we should "trust" the process of the current regime this offseason, because, as we all know, changing NOTHING really makes a difference!

Happy New Year to ya!

Please let me know if this post "counts", or if I'm just another "bad" fan (since 1968). Thanks in advance for clarifying my status..,..I'd really hate to continue my life long fandom without YOUR approval.

You can say whatever you want, NJ.  I'm sure you do consider yourself a "real" fan.  Fine; then you suck as a poster on this site.  Take your pick.  But you are absolutely silent when the team wins.  THAT'S why "when you post" matters.  It shows that you ONLY care about yourself, and making sure that everyone knows how "right" you (think) you are.  Does your opinion count? No, it doesn't.  Because you ONLY offer it when hind-sight can be offered to prove your opinions correct.  Funny how you ONLY have opinions about this team... after they lose.  And why is that?  Because all your opinions are negative.  You don't offer any insight; only hind-sight.  Congrats!  I can tell you... after we run the ball for -3 yards... that we should've done something else.  THAT is all you have to offer: you wait until the team fails in some way... and then show up to say we should've done something different.

Why do I care?  Because this is a place for Viking fans to talk football (and other things).  And you are polluting it.  You want to be respected?  You want to be considered a "real" fan?  Then show up and talk football all season long- not just when the team loses.  Or keep on being who you are; and I'll keep on calling you out for it.  You can ignore me, if you want.  Or you can prove me wrong.  That's what you seem to care about more than anything else; so why don't you do it now: prove me wrong.  Become a regular poster.  Wouldn't that be great- to prove me wrong? 

I don't need to PROVE ANYTHING TO YOU.

That's the point, but it stil escapes your feeble mind. 

YOU be a Vikings fan YOUR way, and I'll be a Vikings fan MY way. Simple. 

My initial posts are ALWAYS directed at the Vikings organization. It is only when dipshits like YOU respond to my posts with personal attacks that I respond IN KIND. 

Here's some advice : If you can't take it, don't dish it out.

You must be THRILLED that the SAME  braintrust that brought us this latest underachieving season will be back for the 2019 season to serve up the SAME disappointing results, followed by the SAME ol' excuses, with different names : a) New OC. b) 2-3 new OL, need at LEAST 2 seasons to "gel", c) Kirky is on his 2nd OC, d) Cook missed (x) amount of games. e) the defense is trying to "figure it out" after the departures of Barr and  here. e) new kicker. f) the inevitable injury/arrest/psychotic issue that results in a starter to miss games. Excuses g thru z yet to be determined.

WASH. RINSE. REPEAT. 

I'll believe it when I SEE it, not before.

If you want to embrace blind allegiance over free thought, God Bless. 

Let's see what happens in January 2020. If it's the same thing that's happening THIS January, we'll have our answer, won't we?

These losers lost the "right" to expect blind allegiance from this fan long ago. THEY need to earn it back with actual RESULTS. Not "effort", not pro bowl appearances, not being top 5 in ANY statistic.......prove it by WINNING FUCKING PLAYOFF GAMES! 

Happy New Year!

The Bears dominated on both sides of the ball. They punched us in the mouth and we never responded. You are not going to win too many games if your OLine is below average at best. If you can't protect your QB in a pass first league, you have no chance. Our defensive line was exposed all year by teams that could run the ball effectively. Richardson and Joseph did not create the force in the middle I thought they would and once again we could not get off the field on 3rd down letting Trubisky escape time after time only to find an open receiver. Something is just off with this team. They have never been in sync all year. 

Its this simple-  1) We brought in a premium pocket passer and seldom provided clean pockets due to is totally ignoring the interior line.  

2) We whiffed hard on hiring flip over Stef.  in Flips defense our interior line cannot run block or protect.  We lost a great coach in Shurmer and that is hard to replace

3). We totally overestimated the value of kicker with experience.  Carlson was a good draft pick value but you cannot trust a rookie kicker for a super bowl run. If we dont blow all the kicks at green bay, we win that game and are in the playoffs.  

Time to evaluate our personnel people starting with Spielman. i would give him one more year. I still feel pretty good about Zimmer as our leader but he can improve

If they don't blow that kick and do make the playoffs.

Chicago would have given them a REAL ass whopping at Solder Field this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!
