Re: 2014 Current and Potential Coaches

Rick Spielman did two segments with Paul Allen today on KFAN. I thought it was one of his better efforts, with some good talk about the coaching search. He also made some interesting comments about how he searches for a QB. First and foremost he stated that he believes he needs to work with the HC, ...

Slicky Ricky got off scott free and pinned it all on Frazier

The Frazier era completely dovetailed the Ponder era. Why is it so hard for so many to admit Spielman and Frazier share blame nearly equally for the past three seasons. This defense was horrible week 1, before any injuries, that suggests lack of talent from the GM. Spare me the tired arguments about...

Re: The REAL Plan For Freeman

I dug back to the most recent thread I could find about Freeman to post this one. Tom Powers of the Pioneer Press today put forth a theory of why Freeman joined the team and why he played against the Giants. If true, it puts in question how much autonomy they really have given Rick Spielman. http://...

Re: Lions @ Vikings Game Day DiscussionThread -- Week 17

Yes sir, I can! Here are four main takeaways from each person's speech: Matt Birk: "It [the dome] was not perfect, but we made it our place. The only thing missing is that Super Bowl championship banner." Robert Smith: "You [the fans] don't realize how many of appreciate all the supp...

Re: Lions @ Vikings Game Day DiscussionThread -- Week 17

I loved listening to Matt Birk, Robert Smith, Adrian Peterson, and Bud Grant speak when the game was over. Those four had great messages for a dome send off. I heard Adrian's speech on the radio broadcast. Can you summarize briefly anything cool that they said that stood out to you? Sent from my iP...

Lions @ Vikings Game Day DiscussionThread -- Week 17

Not when your premise is, maybe its a good idea to keep Fraizer. Or maybe if we won 5 road games. I am tired of us being in the cellar. Nothing about it makes me proud, Even Cassel, who I had hoped could lead us next year while we let a rookie learn, has let me down. As the Vikings have done for de...

Re: Lions @ Vikings Game Day DiscussionThread -- Week 17

frazier a bit more candid about some of the questions that have come up on this board from time to time...especially deciding who to start at QB. http://www.vikings.com/media-vault/videos/Frazier-On-Talks-with-Wilfs-Future-at-QB-More/c1f072ea-5452-45da-853d-507b4e0af307 Thanks for posting this.

Re: Lions @ Vikings Game Day DiscussionThread -- Week 17

Yes, we all saw that. Surprisingly, not every report from "a credible source" turns out to be valid. Not saying that won't happen, but you can't speak in certain terms just yet. Exactly, it's been reported today AD is scheduled to meet with ownership tomorrow to advocate for Frazier's job...

Re: Lions @ Vikings Game Day DiscussionThread -- Week 17

The Vikings turned around a 1-7 start to a 4-3-1 close. Pretty impressive considering the ill advised decision to sign Josh Freeman and all the injuries. Congrats to Frazier and staff and the players for making it happen! Much preferable to me to the 2-14 finish that would have got us the #1 draft p...

Re: Lions @ Vikings Game Day DiscussionThread -- Week 17

There's not going to be anything left of this message board if people keep attacking each other instead of the topic. Personally I hate the "Spielman rocks" .. "Frazier is complete trash" arguments. They are equally obtuse in my opinion, each is somewhere in the middle, just my o...

Re: Lions @ Vikings Game Day DiscussionThread -- Week 17

These are the same guys that didn't see anything wrong 3 games into preseason....hell 1 game into preseason. If it's not obvious CP is our best player now and has been for some time then that's a problem. And to your point CP is just 1 example of many. That's exactly why these coaches will be fired...
