Yeah, my posts are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY off. I put way too much faith in Musgrave actually being a competent offensive coordinator. The preseason stuff is pretty funny too looking back on it. Turns out that less flavor than Vanilla offense we saw wasn't us not exposing anything new, we actually didn't have ANYTHING new LOL! :shock:

One thing I would like to point out. The Vikings have been on the bottom of the division, if I am correct, exactly 3 times in their history. Not bad.
Vikings fan since Nov. 6, 1966. Annoying Packer fans since Nov. 7, 1966

Yes, we noticed! :lol: Good that you can laugh at yourself though.
Looking good for the Vikes to win the north, the real battle will be for the wild card between GB and CHI. Detroit will be lucky to hit that 8-8 mark before they fall apart like they always do.

Wow. And so much of the suckage as of late. 2 of 3 of Frazier's years will go down as some of the worst in our entire history. AND we have the league's MVP on our team. :shock:

So glad we fired Childress and kept this guy. Good call. :appl: Anyone but Childress. Just please, anyone but Brad. Yup. 8)

:D Right.

I'm upset with myself for dropping the ball on Sunday. I talked to Syd for a few, and I forgot to rub it in about Frazier. He and I got into it pretty badly about firing Childress back in the day. So much so that he "pulled me aside" and took it to private messaging to explain why he thought we should get rid of Childress. I didn't buy it. So, in October of the '11 season he invited me to tailgate with him and his buds. I did, and I said, "So? Still think that hiring Frazier was a good choice?" He just smiled and said, "Hey now, I never said that hiring Frazier was the best choice." LOL. Funny how everyone backs off of their "anyone but Childress attitude" now. Oh boy, I'm getting him in December at the Lions game. I'm totally getting him! I'm going to be like, "Hey Syd, Mr. Cheese Free, anyone but Childress, huh? Are you sure?" Then I'll run. Hopefully it's not too icy. lol :D Can't wait!
