Hmm, I'm not sure if I'm reading your opinion as to how to best be a Viking's fan or your philosophy on life. Either way, I like it. :thumbsup:

Re: Five-Thirty-Eight: The Vikings Are In For A Rude Awakeni

I guess one way to look at it is "keeping this up" might mean 16-0 and regressing might mean 12-4. I'm ok with that. Exactly. What does "sustainable" mean anyway? I like purple kool-aid as much as the next guy, but at no time have I thought it realistic to expect us to sustain b...

Re: Cordarrelle Patterson watch WEEK 3

I'd guess the only way CP is going to get any real playing time is if another receiver or two gets injured. Which at our current rate, should happen midway through the Panthers game. :whistle: Actually I'm hoping it might not have to come to that. With our current offense, I expect we'll see more re...

Re: Upcoming game: Vikings @Panthers

Unfortunately, given the events in Charlotte, we don't stand a chance on Sunday. I'm a die hard Vikes fan, but even I can see the writing on the wall. Carolina will use this game as a way to bring the community together much the way New Orleans did after Katrina. Only way we have a chance is if the...

Re: Alex Boone

Honestly if you had said that to me and 63490 of my closest friends at the same time too I wouldn't have cared haha Well you might be somewhat rare in that way. My opinion is that Boone is acting a lot more super entitled speaking to people who pay his salary that way than they are for wanting comm...

Seriously though, don't be a dick.
Why am I being a dick when I speak that way to you while Boone can say the same thing to the fans and you don't understand why they take offense? You didn't even buy me a stadium! :tongue:

I know you're a "long time lurker" but that's wholly unacceptable behavior. Please familiarize yourself with the board rules: http://www.vikingsmessageboard.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=20204 Sorry Jim. I knew I was pushing the limits by using that phrase to make a point, and as a moderato...

I really really really don't understand this. Its coming across as super entitled sour grapes, next thing will be complaints that they didn't respond to your cleverly worded sign or that maybe they don't play harder when you scream louder...He's a mercenary.

Re: Alex Boone

Long time lurker here; rare poster. I'm frankly surprised that people are sticking up for Boone here. Yeah, I know his message was correct but do you guys really think that was an acceptable way to deliver it? Who exactly does Boone think he's talking to? The fans just cheered his team on for hours ...

Re: No More Ponder!!!!

Before this gets out of hand I'm going to just quote my first post in this thread. All I ask is that when you read it again you ask yourself... "Does this sound like someone who is really defending Ponder or might he be using somewhat subtle humor to rip on the guy?" Comparing Teddy behind...

Re: No More Ponder!!!!

Apparently you didn't see all those quick short passes that Ponder missed on badly early in the game. Or all those deep balls he missed on badly, even with a clean pocket. And I hate to break it to you, but the average pass in this league is released in 2.5 to 3 seconds from the snap. I've clocked ...

Re: No More Ponder!!!!

In terms of rating, tonight was the 4th worst of his career at 45.8. In the 3rd quarter he was at 13.8. So garbage time basically saved him from by far the worst game of his career, which was 35.5. That's not gonna fly. Ponder is a better rushing/scrambling QB than Teddy. From those who support Pon...

Re: No More Ponder!!!!

Comparing Teddy behind a bad o-line to Ponder behind a bad o-line is unfair. Scrambling is one of Teddy's greatest strengths, so naturally he will do better in such situations. Ponder is the type of quarterback who does well behind a great line, (one which can give him at least 15 seconds of protect...

Win or loss, I'll be happy

I just got back from work, I managed to avoid hearing news about the game so far. I tivoed it so I can watch it now. Honestly I've been conflicted about whether to hope we win or lose. I finally decided that I'll just be happy either way. A win and I'll be happy because we can brag about beating Gre...
