Mannion is useless, Cook can't get more than a few, the line can't buy much time...

...dust off the kid.  It's not like we'd be losing anything.

KOC, JJM, Flores...make a good plan, or you'll be following Kwesi....

They aren't going to do it. The defense is going to get gassed. The playcalling is going to continue to be shit. Might even be a shutout. Don't let Zimmer come back to Minnesota after the game.

Released by Seattle at the end of preseason and every team passed on him.  Zimmer probably couldn't believe nobody wanted to sign him.

I'd put in Mond. If not right away, then after Mannion's first failed series. Packers will be sorry they only got a 17 point lead. Vikings shut Rodgers down in the 2nd half. I predict 24-20.  Playoffs bitches.

I figure we may as well kick the tires on the kid, we're not gonna win the game with the coaching we've got, anyway.

Blow up the coaching offices, bring in Pedersen (sp?) or similar, and wake this team the f**k up.

It’s insane he didn’t start. It’s even more insane he hasn’t been put in since. Almost any other QB in the NFL with Mannion’s numbers would have been benched. I legitimately have no idea what Zimmer is trying to do anymore.

I trust Zimmer and Spelly with Mond.

They are saving him for next year where he will take league by storm.

We are out of the playoffs and I don't want to show all our cards (or skeletons)

Based on every single decision this team has made there is absolutely no way I buy that they benched Mond due to some long term plan. 100% nothing they’ve done would indicate they’re interested in making this type of move.

The Vikings have managed to somehow make a diehard fan of this team for 45+ years...dislike my team.  I need therapy to figure this all out.  How can you love something but then hate it as well??  Yes, I do watch every murder/love show on Discovery and apparently learn nothing :)

This is how I feel too. I don’t want to be the guy who comes on here and b*tches about the team. I hate that guy.

But I love the Vikings and it’s actively painful to watch them the past 2 years. We do suck! Sometimes I have to get out my opinions. Heres hoping next year is better.

Was it a drunken mirage or did Mond play 3 snaps???

Then we brought in our 4th string QB who is also our 2nd string QB.  Only the Vikings!

I saw that and wondered what they were doing.  He barely got his feet wet with a three and out.

Maybe they plan to let him start against the Bears but now is the time to get him experience.  Maybe not against a hungry Bears defense that gave Cousins all he could ask for.
