the official **** the vikings thread

Nah, they'll cover it. Hoyer's magic is running out, the defense is starting to devour these guys and Ponder's looking sharp when he isn't throwing the ball 10 feet over the receivers heads.

I think they score one more at least. The way Cleveland's playing they might score twice.

Nevermind, looks like the coaches are trying to let Cleveland have as many chances as they can give them.

This is actually kind of incredible. I've never seen a team look so bad most of the time, still be in positions to win, and then be the most un-clutch team in the history of football.

start tanking for a draft pick now

nobody should lose to this cleveland team. thats just unacceptable

never before has the thread title been more appropriate.

Browns have a hell of a player in that kruger guy.

Frazier is out of a job, guessing musgrave too. Wilf might really sweep house after this season.

None of our coaches will be returning for 2014, I can promise you that.

We will win maybe 3 or 4 games this year if we're lucky.

Sparky · 09-22-2013, 11:17 PM

I think we should consider trading AP also

~~butthead aka 216~~ · 09-22-2013, 11:24 PM

coaches gotta go and someone needs to decide if Ponder is definitely the answer going forward. im surprised they havent tried using webb in some sort of read option/trick play packages since it seems to be workin in bubbles around the league. might as well, he isnt a real wr

without lookin i assume petersons contract has a huge signing bonus which would make it almost impossible to deal him but imagien the haul they could get for him

at least you guys can take comfort in seein the packers go 1-2

No one's talking about it but Peterson has been horrible so far. He's getting stuffed like crazy, he's only had two big runs this year (his third longest run is 11 yards), and he's fumbling the ball again. It's obviously not something that would affect his trade value yet, but it worries me a bit going forward.

I'd like to think they'll be bad enough to land either Bridgewater or Clowney, but I don't think they're quite bad enough to compete against a team like the Jags or Raiders this year. Tajh Boyd could be an option as well at the top of the draft.

I would try to shop Jared Allen, especially if you can land a good edge-rusher in the draft. There's some talent in the secondary to be had in the middle of the first round, so they may want to target that.

There never seemed to be any discussion about trading Peterson when they were really bad before so I don't think it's an option now either. For better or for worse, I think he'll remain a Viking for his career.

Also, I'm kind of afraid that Frazier will get a pass based on riding AP to the playoffs last year. I don't know about you guys, but I think he's been every bit as bad as Childress and Tice were, if not worse.
