It's all set-up so we can play the 10th anniversary Tuesday night game. Where's Joe Webb when we need him?

Oh fer *#$* sake. Half of my 1st place fantasy team is in this game. Ridley, Thielen, Gurley...and I picked up Cousins to stream after Dak went down.

Apparently it's just one player who's been placed on the Covid list, with a staffer testing positive today. No changes as far as date/time for the game.

It should be manageable: They'll test everyone before they get on the plane to Minneapolis.

Forget Joe Webb, we need to suit-up this guy for a 10th year anniversary:

I wouldn't say firmly, but I dont think this team will finish with more than 5 or 6 wins.

Look, if we're going to suck, do it enough to get one of those franchise ceiling QB's next year. 

I am ready to move on soon from this staff, QB and system. I'm getting antsy.

welcome the band wagon,  I've got a nice comfy spot for you.

I know it could be worse,  and I know that we've had it pretty good compared to some franchises,  but when I get the feeling of stagnation I get really antsy myself and I have felt this team has stagnated for a couple years now.

I'm slow, it took me till not very long-ago (when all that D salary walked) to realize the best of what Zimmsu could do with that D was lose in CG's. 

The journey was fun, MN Miracle, winning the NFC crown in Lamblow in 2015, Rudolph catch vs Saints etc. 

No shame in that. Zimmer went as far as his predecessors did, more than some of em. 

But I feel strongly the best teams Zimmer could field are behind him now.

I think a lot of what he accomplished was on defense and that D was built with a lot of draft collateral.

not true.... if we get a forfeited win,  that will push us further down the draft board which after a 1-4 start is about as bad a loss as you can get.

I have NEVER laughed so hard during a football game. At some point, you just had to accept the utter futility and roll with it.   I was still carrying some residual 41-0 hate in my heart at the time but I had to let it go during that game.

Between that and this pic.... whoooo.... LOL.
