Non-Hockey Sports Thread XVI - Vikings Failure Edition

[Wild11MN]

Too many penalties right now. Where has our defensive pressure been lately? We've hardly had any sacks the past few weeks.

Also, another snoozefest of a game. Been a while since we've played an exciting game.

Really starting to feel like we aren't making the playoffs.

How about that stat they showed earlier. First team to punt when starting a drive in the red zone since 2011. What an offense.

 

[melinko]

I like Shurmur man.

I feel like Norv would have never brought in a jumbo package then not run it.

 

[Wild11MN]

WTF Walsh!!!!!!

UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

If you can't tell, this team is frustrating me.

 

[123TripleDoge]

Lmao Walsh. We don't deserve to win a single game with him on the team

 

[Wild11MN]

Dumb decision to go for it.

 

[Victorious Secret]

I don't think it was a dumb decision. However, it was a dumb play call.

Yeah, no doubt on that. Our percentage on 3rd/4th and 1 this year rushing the ball has been abysmal. I think it would have been smart to play for a potential game winning field goal, but Walsh is our kicker. So maybe it was a better decision to go for it.

 

[melinko]

Man Patterson has been playing so well today, sucks he couldn't make that catch.

 

[Wild11MN]

Heck of a play call.

 

[melinko]

Heck of a play call.

Yeah, 2 times they have pulled something completely unexpected after bringing in a jumbo package.

 

[123TripleDoge]

Lmao Vikings

 

[melinko]

Could have easily taken more time off the clock before the touchdown.

 

[Victorious Secret]

Must be nice to have a kicker that can do that.

 

[Wild11MN]

Could have easily taken more time off the clock before the touchdown.

That was a blunder. They called that TO with what, 25-30 seconds left? All we needed was time for two plays, and we had another TO left too if we wanted to run. Should have left about 15 seconds before calling the TO.

Sports are dumb anyway.

Zimmer has been poor at clock management his entire time here. This will be the first one he will get heat on because it directly affected the outcome though.

 

[123TripleDoge]

Game over hahhahhh

 

[gphr513]

Do the Vikes play this week or are we on another bye?

 

[Wild11MN]

Think I broke my laptop after that pass interference on third down.

Confirmed. Hard drive no longer boots. Yay.

 

[NHL1674]

Went outside after our last touchdown thinking the game was in the bag. Under a minute left.....we can't possibly #@$! this up, right? Right? Not with our defense, right?



You'd think we'd be use to this by now. So, why does it still light my fuse when they pull this crap?

 

[Loopy0ne]

parts of the team obviously fell for some cheap lobotomy scam during the bye, right?

 

[Avder]

This makes me both glad and sad that I do my best to not pay attention to the Vikings until its late in the season.

My temper doesn't need any exercise.
