I'll disagree with this guy. The Wilfs may be great owners from a facilities/environment standpoint, but they are absolutely abysmal at making actual football decisions and you are starting to hear rumblings that maybe they haven't been as "hands off" as most have been led to believe. I would love to get a straight answer from them on why they hired Kwesi when he was grossly lacking in any experience related to the job he was given and no other team was going to hire him for that position. I'm pretty confident I know that answer already, but would love to hear a truthful answer from Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dumb.

The fact that they missed the Seattle game means nothing to me. Probably just didn't want a front row seat to the train wreck they created

For all the great things the Wilfs have done, they hired a guy with no personnel experience to oversee every player decision on the team, that is an inexcusable move by the owners and has significantly set this franchise back.

Hey, I get the need to vent. I do it too. But aren't some of you weary of swirling in the blackness yet?

Next we'll have youtube videos as to whether or not they ate their prunes and had a bm..

Crickey, its going to be a long remainder of the season...

I'm almost at the point where I believe the narrative that the Wilfs are really only interested in keeping this team "competitive" at all costs just to keep the money rolling in and are more interested in their social causes then building an actual winner in Minnesota. I fully believe the hiring of Kwesi had everything to do with things outside of football and the evidence absolutely points to that. The real victims in the Kwesi hiring is us the fans, who four years later are seeing the accumulated carnage of the Wilfs hiring a guy with zero scouting or personnel experience. But hey, I'm sure the Wilfs got a nice high five, a butt slap and kudos from the commissioner for hiring a minority candidate. I'm just tired of the Wilfs showing time and time again that they aren't capable of making good football decisions. It's why we've lingered in mediocrity for the 21 years they've owned this team. You want to know why this team is where they are? It starts at the top...

the Vikes only being a 1.5pt favorite at home against a 3-9 team.... if that doesnt embarrass the Wilfs, I dont know what it will take.

Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?

Probably embarrassed to show their faces to watch the shitshow.  They own it and are responsible for it.

Yeah- I can't watch either

Trying to manage my stress & watching this team for the last 50 years has already done enough damage

But that has to be the one and only reason they hired Grigson.  He has personnel experience, not very good experience, but they probably figured he would hold Kwesi's hand until he knew what the fuck he was doing.  Which hasn't happened yet.

Just further poor decision making. That's the blind leading the blind
