Can't get excited about the Vikes any more

[nibelungen]

I've been a diehard fan of this team for decades. I should be hyped because of FA. I remember how pumped I used to be during draft week.

But I've progressed from edge of my seat...to...meh. Its more than the years of frustration and heartbreak. I think Peterson's crap with his kid put the nail in the coffin for me.

I can't take on a new team, tried it but it doesn't work. Seems I'm stuck in limbo with this cursed franchise. Anyway, sorry if this offends anyone. Just thought I'd get it off my chest.

Well there's always golf Nibe!😎

I admit even though I think the QB position is now set I am not as excited this off season as last.

The D for the first time under Zimmer didn't improve over the last half of the season and the offense, besides QB, has all kinds of question marks.

It's Vikings PTSD..they have meds for that Nibe. It's certainly fair to ask the questions. I'm actually fairly optimistic about the team. Ap..for all his gifts..made this team predictable and the absolute carnage on the line last year is something no team could have overcome. It's addition by substraction with Kalil and AP gone. Fill a few holes before the draft and I think we have a team that can go on a long run..especially with a more favorable schedule this year.

I hear ya. But substitute the players names, and for decades I've been saying the same bloody thing. Tired of it. 



PM me a list of those meds.

Yes she does make me want to stroke the putter.

I have zero interest in the "off" season.  I'm a fan of the game, not the business side of it.  Don't like to see players leave, don't like to speculate who will be coming in.  Really don't care about some kid's "potential" coming out of college.  This league is not college.... players that dominated while in school can fall flat on their faces in the pros.  And players not drafted(or drafted late) can be and are in the Hall of Fame.  Arguing over things that happen now seems like a waste of time.  Once the team is set, I'll probably plug back in... until then... I'll read what others post, but I'm definitely in "meh" mode myself.

Well, that's probably for the best.  I believe she is more of a "driver" girl

I can agree. Certainly not emotionally invested as when I was younger (especially after 98). I saw some things last year early that got my hopes up, but that was cut short. I will do the same this year as last. Hope for the best and see how the chips fall.

I'm more optimistic about this year in some ways. I am less sold on the coaching staff now than I was before though. But I think the roster will be considerably better this year. OTs are both huge upgrades. RB is a huge upgrade. QB is a huge upgrade (over what we had at this time last year....yes, Bradford is ten times the QB Bridgewater ever was). Nothing changed much on D, except you'd think Hunter, Rhodes, etc, will be even better. The draft is loaded so they SHOULD be able to add studs unless they get extremely stupid and chase mediocre OL instead of drafting studs at the positions which are loaded (which means you'll get 1st round talent in 2 or 3 at those positions most likely).

I'm with you though. Sick of them constantly sucking and having a bunch of assholes like Adrian on the team. He has ruined it for me for years. Since his slavery comment I've cheered against him. Since the other shit I've wished ill upon him, and still the team was stupid enough to keep him around this long. Pretty disgusting stuff.

Most golfers want to get a hole in one, I would rather get in one of her holes.

That hot little honey looks to be a Ping 9-degree G15, with an Aldila Serrano 60 graphite shaft.  

I can rip one, about 320 into the fan.
