The #1 Seed in the NFC Playoffs Is No Longer In Play

And, in honor of tonight's game, I'm going to attack this post-game wrap-up with all the vigor, gusto, and effort that we saw from the Minnesota Vikings this evening against the Panthers.

So, that's all for tonight, ladies and gentlemen.  We'll see you back here tomorrow!

The o-line better turn it around!

This isn’t Peterson trying to take it out too wide then getting stopped, its that the o-line isn’t opening any holes. The FB seems almost useless. If they don’t fix the problem they are in trouble.

Bernard, Percy and AP oh my!

Understand...

Let’s hope they pull their head out of their 4th point of contact from here on out…..

Was not pretty tonight at all….no part of it….

Lots of work to do….

Fast….

Happy Holidays Folks….

I would rather be IN the Arena than watching from the stands...That is my life!

not sure what that was but.,

i do not think we even got off the plane. Poorly coached game and we couldnt execute a single play. I wonder how the bears game is going to go. Maybe we should just boycott playin on sunday night football. Pathetic effort

What a Joke...

Where were all are pro bowlers tonight…I’m so sick of these millionaire players lack of effort…
The vikings come out with their thumbs in their butts and let a team that has nothing to play for embarrass them…Childress and the coaching staff wouldn’t know a game plan if it came up and bit them on the ass…The offensive line can go back to the couch and eat their Cheetos’s and Twinkies…None of them deserve to be in the pro bowl…This team should be very worried about it’s chances to get to the Super Bowl…They had a golden opportunity tonight and they blew it…The road to the big show will go through New Orleans and the way we’ve played on the road this month is not a good sign…Focus,determination and consistency is what makes champions the Vikings have shown none of these quality’s on the last two road games…Just showing up ain’t good enough…

Heck yeah! They played like crap. Why? How to fix it??

I BELIEVE...

One more thing...

I’ve been a die hard vikings fan for 35 years…I’ve stuck with them through thick and thin, the good years, the bad years, and the ugly…I buy their merchandise and I watch them every week, every year…I’m a true die hard fan…regardless of their record . When there 6-10 or whether there 15-1… I watch every game to the bitter end every year…and as all die hard viking fans do, I go down with the ship every season. I make excuses for them around the water cooler the next morning at work after their losses, almost like a protective parent defending their ugly, stupid stepchild…The seasons where they start off slow and finish strong or the seasons where they never quite get off the ground I don’t get down on them after the season I just figure there a small market team and they did the best they could with the talent they had and we’ll get em next year mentality…This brings me to my point about this season or the other few seasons that expectations are high for our beloved Purple.
The last time we had a really good team was 98…This team is not as good as the 98 team, yet I believe this team is the best shot we’ve had since 98 to get to the Super bowl. With that being said, Super bowl appearance’s for small market cities like Minnesota’s only come along every ten years if that…So when I witnessed the half assed effort that the vikings displayed tonight I was speechless…I mean tonight was the first time doubt about this years pro bowl, star studded team came creeping in…from the hapless look on Farves face along the side lines or the way our Mammoth left tackled got bitched slapped around like he was a 90 lb crack whore…and Adrian Peterson sitting on the bench like he was a little kid in Pop Warner too afraid to go home after the game fearing his dad might take a belt to him for his inconsistent performance…The most troubling thing about tonight’s imitation of the Detroit lions is that the Lions at least would have made it close…You would have thought the Panthers were still alive in the wild card race the way they played…did you see the emotion Steve Smith was displaying on the side lines and in the field of play…Where was Farve or Peterson’s fiery speech’s to their team mates along the side line or for that matter why weren’t any of the viking leaders or coaches getting in the face of the players like Steve Smith was…Smith had nothing to play for except pride or his LOYAL FANS…We had home field advantage to play for and not a soul on our side lines even mustered up a spark of emotion…Troubling to say the least…Maybe this team is starting to resemble its coach
emotionless and ill prepared…HEY VIKINGS PLAYERS AND COACHES “WAKE THE FUCK UP” THIS YEAR MIGHT BE THE LAST CHANCE ANY OF YOU GET TO GO TO THE BIG DANCE…DON’T BE FOOLISH, YOU HAVE THE TALENT, I JUST DON’T SEE THE FIRE…MAYBE YOU SHOULD CALL STEVE SMITH AND ASK HIM, HE’S PROBABLY GOT ENOUGH FOR ALL OF YOU…AND OH YEAH REMEMBER US YOUR
LOYAL FANS, THE ONES WHO MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO DRIVE AROUND IN YOUR FANCY CARS AND LIVE IN YOUR GATED MANSIONS…AT LEAST SHOW UP TO PLAY A COMPETITIVE GAME, AFTER ALL WE ARE TAKING 3 HOURS A WEEK OUT OF OUR TIME TO WATCH YOU …I’M SURE WE COULD FIND SOMETHING BETTER TO DO WITH OUR TIME IF WE NEW IN ADVANCE THAT YOU WEREN’T GOING TO SHOW UP…

Now I’m going to go drink a Dr. Pepper.

Pathetic

WTF? Matt Moore— scrub player.. Makes the “Queens” secondary look like a high school team. I know some high school teams that probably could have beat them last night too. Panthers without Deangelo Williams… one of the league’s best teams against the run lets a backup get a 100= YARD GAME… Peterson wan non-existent. O-line needs a collective butt kicking…. people get FIRED from real jobs when they perform like that. And, how many times do we need to get ripped by Steve Smith? He lights the Vikings up every time we play against them… Can’t the coaching staff come up with ANYTHING to stop this guy? This team has all of this great talent, but no heart. Trap game.. hell yes it was. Story of the Vikings over the years. Always find ways to lose to teams that they should wipe up the field with… Childress’ trap game too… he got his contract extension. As far as I’m concerned, he is absolutely the worst motivator in the history of Viking football— except maybe Steckel. Now we have to put up with his pathetic leadership for a few more years… The “Queens” had better figure it out, or clean off the clubs. You’ll all be playing golf in three weeks.

No we will not....

Remember we are NFC North Champs (AGAIN)….

The Packers will likely will be on the course before the Vikes ever get the chance to think about golf….

Now go back to your ACNE site and whimper with the rest of the Pecker fans LOL!

I would rather be IN the Arena than watching from the stands...That is my life!
