Let Us Celebrate Festivus With The Airing Of Grievances!

I don’t understand why the only team that ever has a chance to win had to go and blow this season. We all know the Twins are going to eventually lose to the Yankees, the Wild are going to lose to anyone not named the Flames, and the Wolves are going to lose to… well… everyone.

But the Vikes could be counted on to give the MN sports fan something to cheer about. They were all we had left. Now what?

oh, wrong site

and the Vikings STILL have not won a title. That pisses me off. Merry Christmas All!

the locks.

if that is a young jack black playing that homeless dude at 2:04 in the festivus clip…

This entire Vikings season had been one big unmitigated cataclysmic grievance in so many ways, so I’ll just spare you all that and wish you a Merry Christmas and happy holiday season Chris, and your efforts are appreciated. And also I think the Vikings signed ANOTHER QB. Rhett Bomar, off the Giants practice squad. Supposedly a top college prospect at one time. Didn’t recall seeing anything about that and don’t know many details.

I hate Phil Loadholt, he is the worst Offensive Lineman in the history of the game. He should not only not get paid but, should have to pay me.

Further, what the hell was wrong with Sage Rosenfels? Did he just have too much talent to be a back up on our team?

Chilly I still hate you, you owe me four years of your life!

AD, how bout we try to average better then 1 YPC on first and second downs. What happened to you?

nuff said………oh hell………what a worthless piece of doggie dooo………..make to much money to waste his time blocking speed rushers……Freakin QB killer

I wish to air my grievances towards the offensive line and defensive secondary. They both need to be collectively beat with the Festivus aluminum pole for their shoddy play.

Well, guess I’ll be the first to say my grievance is with #4. It started with the no brain pass against the Saints and this team hasn’t been the same since. Horrible year and we have nothing in the hopper to replace him. Awesome.
Happy Festivus!

I went to buy a doll for my son, another man stopped me and asked if I was a Vikings fan. As I rained down blows upon him, I reminded him that at one time, the Vikings were a formidable team. And dammmit, we will be again through the Festivus miracle!

I have a lot of problems with the Vikings and here they are:

Some of the players are not only very little to no help, but are detrimental to winning. These include Bryant McKinnie, Madieu Williams, whoever the other safety is, Bernard Berrian, pretty much all of the CBs, and Tahi. These guys need to be somewhere else, ruining someone else’s team next season.

The coaching search needs to be thorough and thoughtful. But because of the current state of the stadium, we may have to settle for some nobody, or even for Frazier. I’m not too hot on Frazier being our permanent HC. He was a Childress hire and that can’t be good. Not to mention the fact that I don’t particularly care for the “watch them catch it then try to tackle them” defense we run. The cover-2 version we’re using has gotten us nowhere. We don’t have a single defensive back that can cover a good receiver.

Same for the west coast offense we run. It’s just an excuse to not throw the ball down the field. Moving the ball scared Chilly to death. That’s why he was only interested in five yard passes and running straight into the line. It’s why he never wanted a QB that could actually run an offense, but rather just guys who would make his little dinky throws.

We need to take the most important position on the field a lot more seriously as a franchise than we have since Chilly came along. You can’t win without a good QB and you can’t win a Super Bowl without a very good QB. Why not try and get one instead of fixing the other ten or twenty problems on the field first?

Okay, I’ve got to go in to H&H Bagel tonight and search for some gum I dropped in the dough.

I can go on about the Twins, but hell, we’ve won the Series. I could go on about the Wild, but need to get to the Cup Finals first. T-Woves……thanks for killing my team and what interest I had in the NBA McFail and Taylor.

As for the Vikings, I can no longer say a grievance about a Head Coach I never liked even before he was officially hired since he is no longer with us. See, Prayers can be answered!

My current grievance:

Players just collecting a paycheck and still not playing with a new head coach.
Sticking with a QB who should have retired in the off season
Not drafting Colt McCoy
Not starting Joe Webb over Jackson
Not starting Joe Webb over Favre last week
Mr. Noodle sticking with his anal retentive “Crap Coast” offense and “Tampon Bay 2” Defense.
Fraizer sucks given what he is stuck with after only 4 games. (Ironically, alot of the same folks were sticking by Noodle and T-Joke after 5 years saying “Give them time)
MSFC for thinking that a new roof and paint will solve all the Vikings whoas in the Metrodome.
The fact that we play indoors, not outdoors ”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5W6BYDHj9g" target="new">freaking out visiting teams like yesteryear!

Love that show and episode.
Now for the test of strength= Webb vs Jackson to see who goes.
Jackson is down. It was a duel of the footballs at 10 paces. Jackson hits the poor cateror serving food 20 feet to the left of his intended target and Webb veans Y-Jax square in the Chestnuts and off to Biffalo he goes.

O-Line, Safeties and a real QB who is less than 28 years old.

Why can’t the Vikings leadership take a page from the Patriots and Belichek? He is a MASTER at getting rid of players 1-2 years before they are washed up. He doen’st give them the final huge contract that plays out their string. If Belicheck holds true, Tom Brady will not be a Patriot at the end of this contract (He’ll be 37 and some other team can try get those last few years out of him).
New England got rid of Seymour, Moss, Maroney by converting them from aging high $ contracts/free agent losses to early picks in early rounds.New England is the TEAM TO BEAT in the AFC. Bet they are #1 seed. They have 2 picks in each of the 1st 3 rounds next year! Bet that makes them #1 seed again!

Look at the players who should have been moved off the Vikings last year as they are out of gas-
Favre, Pat Williams, Kliensasser, Leber, McKinney, Kennedy, Lewis, Berrien, Dugan, Herrera, Madieu Williams, Ryan Cook, Fred Evans, T-Jack,

No one there is going to get a high draft pick in trade, but stocking middle round picks gives you options.

First of all I have to say I am thankful for ditching Chilly. Too bad it was a few years too late. Now its time to rebuild. It shouldn’t take more than 3 years. The Vikes need to retool big time. They need to do a better job at assessing talent, drafting, chosing free agents and most of all get a real offensive coordinator.

Allow me to combine a Christmas Festivus wish this year with a likely grievance next year: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET MINNESOTA SIGN DONOVAN MCNABB.

/hopes the front office isn’t smart enough to know better

//Merry X-mas!
