Man, I thought the Viking forum was more active. Does SH not have alot of Viking fans? I know there isn't another dedicated viking forum on the interwebs unless I missed it.

Most of us Viking fans prefer to talk about more positive things.

I am so interested to see the Vikes final roster. Especially now that Griffen is coming back.

I've never seen such a log jam at a single position before. We literally have about 15 defensive lineman that will or should be on a roster. Obviously cant roster that many. Be interesting to see if Spielman can get a collection of late round picks for some of the cast offs....and if that influences who we keep/dont keep.

Don't have high hopes for the season

Don't have high hopes for the season

Really? Why?

Really? Why?

still think our O line isn't very good and I don't think Kirk is good enough to carry a team

I see 10-6 as our ceiling

can't watch them, they give me indigestion.

 

[PnkPanther]

well that was a load of shit

I'm not going to blame the refs, but that wasn't a fumble

On flip side, we didnt' deserve to win. Too many mistakes

NFCN as a whole looked like dog poop

Once again just a completely failed performance from our offensive line.

Bradbury is fucking awful. He is one of the worst 1st round picks we have ever made outside of the QB position. Spielman's inability to acknowledge his mistake in drafting him and replacing him as the starter is just killing us. Mason Cole really should have been inserted into the game yesterday. I do understand wanting to see if a 1st round pick isn't a complete bust. But we have flat out waited too long and let him hurt the team too much over the last two years to go into this season knowing he is still too much of a weakling to block people and watch him put out the type of performance like he did yesterday.

And Darrisaw can't get healthy soon enough.

3rd or 4th year in a row where our OL is once again going to completely limit this team. With the way the schedule stacks up, the Vikes really needed yesterday's win.

I know that this game has to be disappointing to you guys. I am sorry for your loss even though it was our gain (as I like the Vikings). However, as bad as your offensive line played penalty wise, you are not playing the 2020 Bengals either and you were playing on the road whose fans finally showed up and created havoc with noise. You were also playing a team loaded on offense in the skill positions, and you are seeing the fruit of 250 million dollars paid out in FA on the defense over the last two years. The Bengals are not going to be a push overs for most teams. Even last year, as bad as the Bengals were, they lost 7 games in the closing minutes of the game by one score after being ahead.

There is much better leadership from the players, and better overall quality men and players in that locker room. I know that was a tough call on the fumble. If it had not been called a non-fumble on the play, there would not have been enough to over turn the call that way either. Not enough good camera angles to definitely tell. The call on the field made the biggest difference. In reality, it shouldn't have come down to that play anyways, if our coach hadn't tried to gift wrap the game and momentum for you on that stupid 4 and 1 call in the 3rd quarter up by 14. All in all, don't hang your head too low, you may still be the best team in your division if Rodgers doesn't get his head out of his own ass.

hey, on the bright side the Vikes are in the top 25 of the power rankings this week.
