Re: Are we screwed with Cousins.
Ok. So to the point of the subject. NO.....the Vikings aren't screwed with Kirk Cousins. To say that would be way too overdramatic. As long as the defense steps up, and plays consistently good for the rest of the year, and they can maintain a balanced offense, the Vikings can penetrate into the pla...

Re: Have the Vikings ever recovered from the Minneapolis Miracle?
I felt it was like they were just still "high" with the feeling of the win in such a manner. Like they just kept thinking about it, never came down to earth, so they didn't put their full concentration on the next game.

Re: Will this Vikings team break our hearts like so many other before them?
I can tell you this. Being blown out or losing by 1 point doesn't matter in the long run. And to me, losing in the Super Bowl is worse than not making it there. In 52 years, I have never heard a fan of another team say, "At least your team made it to 4 Super Bowls.". I've had several peop...

Re: Poll: Your First Vikings Head Coach
LOL, what can I say. My Mom was the sports fan in my family, and she taught me how to understand how football was played. Her brother was a sports fan too. Anyway, at 16 I got addicted.

Re: Poll: Your First Vikings Head Coach

Re: Miami vs. Minnesota...who WINS?
As my user name shows, I am a Vikings fan and a Chargers(Bolts) fan. In my humble opinion, the problem with both teams (for years, now) is they didn't play with HEART. However, the Chargers did just that coming back from way behind to win the game. Talent is great to have, but the players must have ...

Re: Same Ole Vikes
I hear ya. I've been crying myself to sleep since 71 with no end in sight. But your thesis statement is spot on. I can't put my finger on it but I know that the Vikes will let me down 99% of the time when...........the game is on grass, against a solid opponent, at night and on one of the coasts. T...

Re: The First Name Basis Thread
Sharon here. Mostly lurk, but have been a Viking fan since 1961. Having lived in San Diego County, CA more years than I did in Minnesota, I finally also became a Chargers fan - hence my user name. I hope the Vikings can one day get over losing so many nationally televised games, as that is the only ...
