2021 Vikings Season Thread

[nicksaviking]

I went to the game yesterday. Awesome facility, great game, 50-60% Vikings fans.

These will be the St. Louis Chargers by the end of the decade. The team will be an easy sacrificial lamb Kronke, Spanos and the NFL, can offer up for the fraudulent relocation debacle.

I don’t care if the Vikings are 4-5, 0-9, or 9-0. I always want to beat the Packers. Zimmer needs to dial up the pressure today, because Rodgers will have no trouble finding the holes in our secondary.

Mason Cole doing a Bradbury impression!

Is that a good thing or a bad thing

Kenny Clark is eating him for lunch.

[cHawk]

That was a huge penalty

[TheLeviathan]

This game is a classic example of one of the things I dislike the most about Zimmer: 2nd and 20 and you just let them have 12 yards on dump offs.

[nicksaviking]

Classic meltdown.

[TheLeviathan]

There's the Vikings I know: snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

[LVTwinsfan]

Don’t blame Cousins? The guy who doesn’t know the meaning of clutch. 

[cHawk]

Ok, they overturned it

[nicksaviking]

I actually thought the GB quick TD was a blessing in disguise. I do t want Rodgers to have the ball last.

I would love to eat those words

Would prefer we play for 7.

The FG is simpler. If you can run it down to 2 seconds and win it with a chip shot you should do it.

[Vanimal46]

What an incredibly entertaining game! This season has taken at least 10 years off my life

True...but that was too close.  Joseph needs it on the other hash, his kicks drift to his right.

LA won’t support either of their teams in hard times, never have never will

Vikings missing a chip shot field goal to win the game: 50%.
 

Rodgers marching the field for a game winning TD with a 45 seconds or so left: 99%.

Fair, I think we could've taken more time than that and still scored the TD, but point taken.  Also....given Zimmer's clock management, I wasn't 100% sure we were going to successfully drain all the time.

I thought they were going to score too early until that last run by Cook where it looked like he intentionally went down so as GB couldn't push him into the endzone. I figured they MUST have talked that over.

Still don't trust Zimmer's clock management though and I really doubt it was his idea.

Yikes, Griffen posted a video to Instagram last night saying that there were people outside his place that wanted to kill him and displayed a gun that he said Dalvin Cook helped him get. Clearly was having another mental health episode. Hope he gets the help that he needs.

With Griffen out and now Tomlinson out on the Covid list, the Vikings will be extremely thin on the D-line this week.

[Mike Sixel]

I hope he gets the help he needs. Also, maybe buying a gun for someone with his history isn't a great idea.....

[nicksaviking]

Yeah, this sucks. I'm glad that it sounds like law enforcement, the team and the fanbase are all supportive. I hope he's able to  get help.

Less consequential, last time he had an issue, the team did NOT react well on the field.

[Vanimal46]

Really sad to read the stories about him this morning. My bigger concern is what he’s going to do when he moves on with life after football. I hope the Vikings or NFL continues to provide him access to mental health professionals so he can live a long life. 

[cHawk]

This will be a repeat of last year without a DL, no matter how good the offense is.

[cHawk]

Daniel Carlson with a game-winner!

[nicksaviking]

Tomlinson isn't vaccinated either? Why did Spielman keep (re)signing these guys?!?!?!??! 

I'm more furious with the GM than with anyone else on the team. Zimmer isn't a good coach, but Spielman is the one putting together a roster full of selfish guys you can never count on.
