Vikes Fans 3.0

I know it's only been two games, but so far:

Cousins: 65.5 comp %, 669 yards, 6 TDs, 1 INT
Thielen: Rec 18, 223 yards, 12.9 avg, 1 TD
Diggs: Rec 12, 171 yards, 14.3 avg, 2 TD
Rudolf: Rec 8, 83 yards, 10.4 avg, 1 TD

Just trying to look at the positives going for us so far despite getting a tie when we should have won that Green Bay game. This is the most promising passing game we've had in a long time, easily since Favre in 2009. It was awesome to finally see a QB connect with WR's on plays like the Thielen TD and Diggs 2-point conversion in a way that makes him seem like a legitimate play maker. I'm not going to get my hopes up too high quite yet, but it's refreshing to see that kind of passing game that seems entirely capable of carrying the team/making comebacks.

I agree with you on the passing game. I'm nervous about or special teams. Seems like it's been going backwards the past couple of years... in all aspects of it.

I mean - if that punt doesn't get blocked and we go down early.... that really set the tone for the first half.

Oh yeah, they were turrible against the Packers, hopefully with Bailey coming in that fixes the kicking game and a blocked punt happens from time to time I don't think it's something we should be worrying about going forward.

I too like the passing game but it's not like we faced a couple great secondaries so far, I will temper my expectations for now.

I would like to see Cook be a little more successful, he doesn't seem to have been involved much yet and I guess that's to be expected, just trying to bring him back slowly.

I don't remember the last time I went into a week knowing the Vikings were gonna win, ain't no chance Buffalo beats us, I just hope to avoid injuries.

I'm thinking

Vikings 30
Bills 13

Not likely to be this game... since he hasn't practiced this week.

if the Vikes lose, it's all your fault.

Hey Man, we got a great trade from the Cowboys this week.

How could that ever go wrong?

Last time I went to a Bills/Vikes game, I think it was with the people for the ESPN boards. @kobesgame was there too, but she refused to associate with us on game day.

Guess who lost that should have won?

Another feather in her cap in my book.

That's what you call mixing your metaphors...

True.

But i was looking forward to seeing her pink pickup truck.

 

[fknhippie]

Am I the only one a little nervous about this game?

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

Congrats to the Bills on their 1st victory.

Who saw this coming??



I'm laughing at the Vikes right now. They didn't even prepare for this game, thought it was a cake walk. They're making the Bills look like the Eagles in the NFC Championship game.

I hope the Bills shove this down their throat.

For anyone who is wondering why I said Zimmer is not better as a HC than Brad Childress was, this game is a classic example why. They're making the 0-2 chitty Bills team with a rookie QB look like a custom video game team with the 2007 Patriots offense and 1985 Bears defense. The special teams look like a D2 college team in a scrimagge against pros. Hell, the whole damn Vikings team looks they had a kegger a few hours before the game. Not to mention, they're playing in Minnesota.

Zimmer has no real control of this team. Other examples of this are the Philly NFC title meltdown where they made Nick Foles look like Aaron Rodgers having a great night, going 8-8 after starting 5-0 in 2016, Xavier Rhodes and other DB's blatantly ingoring Zim's assignment orders in Lambeua and publicily admitting to it in 2016, etc. Fire this clown and promote DeFilippo the interim HC and give him most of a season to show what he can do. We already know this team will never do chit with Zimmer regardless of how strong of a team they build.

Love you guys but i'm done with this club.

Also hey @mr.hockey4242 4 catches 17 yards = fuck you!

 

[Simmion]

Leslie freaking Frazier's cover two (please pass the fuck all over me and score 30 points) defense, held us to 6 fucking points.
