Guys, that's not even funny or appropriate. I'm angry about this crappy game, but this is not only not cool, it's pretty offensive.

At lease there is still Tampa Bay to give us a run for it.

Remember when the defensive line used to terrorize Aaron Rodgers on a regular basis? Yeah, those were the days.

This loss is on the D. Say what you will about Ponder, but they scored 32 points and only had the ball for 19 minutes. Ponder is not the QB we need (neither is Cassel or Freeman), but defense is the biggest problem!

Why am I a Vikings fan?

Being a Vikings fan is belonging to a brotherhood of pain... when you encounter another Vikings fan, you just make eye contact and nod ever so slightly and the bond is clear and strong. We understand pain, disappointment and we all long for the day when our devotion will be rewarded by a Super Bowl win. There is no room in the brotherhood for the weak of spirit. Those people become Packer fans.

To be fair, we WON that Cowboys game 31-27 where Dorsett went for 99, but I understand what you're saying.

Just give him away for a 3rd, that's what we get anyways when he leaves, but at least the 3rd will be higher up

Nope, too many injuries. The Saints would destroy them at this point.

there is no way we can lose to the choking cowgirls. We need to remind them of the 2010 playoffs again.

I agree that defense is the biggest problem but let's put the offense in context:

1) The offense scored 25 points (ST got 1 TD)
2) The Majority was in 'garbage time' after there was no chance for the Vikings to catch up.
I've told people a million times not to exaggerate!
