We'll its 3rd quarter, this is getting hard to watch. Same story as last week, there can't be many feet left to shoot with these turnovers. To me the vikings lack mental toughness and I don't know who's more to blame the coaches or players. There is still time to right this ship this season but another week or two of this and turn out the lights the party is over.....

the blue guy has Dante for his fanatsy QB

 

[BIRDSHOOTER]

We'll, I guess its like being a drunk, you have to reach bottom before you can go up...

 

[DeltaBoy]

I hope they can do something... Congrats to the Vikings! They finally scored a focking touchdown.

2005 total offensive points: 8

:lol:

 

[mallardhunter]

Well I am just going to go shoot myself now :eyeroll:

2005 total offensive points: 8 :lol:

It's pretty pathetic that Culpepper has more turnovers than that. :lol:

 

[mbitz]

Does anyone else think it's a problem that we had 15 rushes last week for 33 yards and then came out this week and did the same thing and rushed 14 times...Definately what you want to do when your QB is fumbling or throwing an interception every possesion...

I am a vikings fan, but I think they need to sit Duante. 5 INT's is crazy plus his last week's performance. Did you see all the open guys down the field he was missing all day? Even the announcers were showing it. I understand it is easier for me to sit and watch and yell that guy is WIDE OPEN, why not throw him the ball instead of standing in the pocket for 2 minutes and then fumble. He got lucky twice on penalties where he fumbled.

They not only lost Moss this year, but it has hurt big time. Duante cannot just look down the field anymore for one guy and throw up the ball.

Frustrated Vikings Fan

almost had more turnovers then yards :toofunny:

Tice the dumb guy has such a dubble standard. Why do you take Bennet out after a fumble but yet leave Cullpepper in there to get knocked around. I thought Tice in his wisdom said no one is a safe starter and blah blah blah. Let Cullpepper know he is not safe..

 

[Niles Short]

Amen brother ... get that fumbling idiot Sasquatch out of there

 

[drjongy]

Culpeper actually looked like he was afraid to get hit out there! What happened to the time when he would take off running and just plow people over?

 

[sotaman]

I was wondering the same thing you are 275 and can run like the wind but then you just sit in the pocket to get hit and fumble the ball.. What a dork.......

 

[Goldy's Pal]

Why do you take Bennet out after a fumble but yet leave Cullpepper in there to get knocked around.

Because Tice told the world after the Moss trade this is Daunte's team now. :roll:

I thought Tice in his wisdom

Stop right there, Tice and wisdom should never belong in a sentence together. :lol:

This running back by committee has always bothered me. How can a back get into the game when every other play he's on the sideline? Get one of them to be "The go to guy" and stick to it at least for a full game. I don't see what's so complicated about it.

 

[sotaman]

I like that Goldy

I thought last week after the TB game that all those pundits were wrong saying "It's because there's no Randy Moss on the field," or "this is due to Culpepper not having Moss anymore" or "Moss made this team" and so on and I dismissed it as a bunch of malarkey.

But I watched Pep this weekend. He lacked vision on the field, he threw to AVERAGE receivers in double coverage like he expected leaping one-arm grabs. He was unaware of open receivers, he didn't seem to know where to throw the ball.

And I got to thinking...maybe IT IS BECAUSE MOSS IS NOT THERE AFTERALL!!! Moss freed up OTHER receivers, making the decision EASY for Culpepper on where to throw. He also posessed amazing physical skills, even when he played half-assedly, and could pull a toss up down between two defenders. No matter how bad a game was, Pep could always count on Moss influencing the outcome...Moss was the leader, Daunte wasn't.

I think we're seeing that now...a team without a leader, without a focal point, and without a clue as to how to pick up the pieces...10-6 predictions are now turning to 6-10...I sure hope the ship gets righted, but I'm not holding my breath.

nj: I think you are correct on Moss's leaving, it definitely has an impact to the way the team has to change around not having him, but they should have been able to change accordingly and deal with it. The biggest problem is CULPEPPER. He is an overrated QB.

Daunte with the Vikes is like me playing Basketball with Shaq, MJ, Dr. J, and Magic. A bunch of good players with someone who sucks. Will we win games? Maybe a few, Will I look good playing with them? Maybe at times. But all in all I am not of that caliber of playing skills.

All these QB's that the Vikes had for one year and then would trade off only to be burned by them. Now we hang onto a QB for years when he just hasn't produced. :eyeroll:

I thought it bad when the Vikes were giving all their good prospects to Dallas back in the late eighty's and early nineties.

Give up CULPEPPER and get on with winning.
