WE GOT BEAT FAIR AND SQUARE (TAMPA BAY - WEEK 11)

VRS

Well, I 've already got the texts coming in...
"bad play calling"
"awful coaching"

I blame sharper! read why at the bottom!

But first...

No one in vikings land can accept a defeat. We got beat fair and square. Sure you can say AP got interfered with on that one throw by brooks.. but that's really all you can complain about.

Our guys did NOT step up today, no one did.

We had two "chances" to try to march down the field and go up one with a TD but we didn't. (if you can call having to get a long TD drive against a great defense a chance) The best play our sorry bunch of receivers made today was to not let them intercept passes. (nice play wade- good penalty) But Bobby Wade did a real dumbass move by not getting the first down and instead losing a couple yards to get out of bounds on one of those drives. (when we had over three minutes left) That set up the next 3 futile plays. this is where everyone is mad about the coaching... shoulda ran, shoulda passed yada yada bleh snore. never mind how good tampa bay is or that our guys can't get themselves open. it's becoming an alarming trend. so we turn the ball over on downs. thanks wade.

Our defense stepped up, they missed a FG, second chance with over a minute from our 36. Taylor fumbles. game over.

I would like to write today how AWFUL our receivers must be. Look at last week against the Packers.. they didnt do ANYTHING last week, except RICEs 2 yard cath. yippy. then look at this week. How many coverage sacks and pressures did tampa bay get? at least 4 sacks were due to receivers not getting open! Blitz, no blitz, it didn't matter. Our line played like crap.

I have already been called a homer today, for shooting down people's gay arguments that we lost cuz of the coaching. it's just a joke to me. this is not madden football. you can't EXPECT a team to march down the field against tampa bay, especially with a very avg offense consisting of an old QB with an arm that gets weaker and weaker and a bunch of useless receivers. we have one weapon right now, AP.

But he isn't superman.


OUR LONE BRIGHT SPOT TODAY... AP!

I liked that they put him in to return the kick though, nice move.

Those fumbles in the second half killed us, but i give our defense a lot of props to hold them like they did. we just didnt have it today, we ran out of luck, and tampa bay clearly deserved this win.

I hope Berrian and wade, rice, shiancoe even are in the locker room asking questions of themselves the last couple weeks. In this league, were all the rules favor the route runner there is no excuse. and we saw quite a few 2 and 3 receiver sets so im really disappointed with them..

and again, the O line was avg today.

It's real frustrating to see players not make plays.

OH, WHY I BLAME SHARPER..!

I think sharper is done. he hasn't made one play all year.. he is losing it for sure. That 3rd and 25 they converted on us?? pathetic! Their TE was the only receiver with in 25 yards of sharper so he has no excuse to come over and help out leber late. he should have picked that off or at least blasted their tight end. he arrived late. what the hell was he expecting? what was he doing? besides being useless. is he EVER gonna make a play? Who cares how many interceptions he has had in the last 10 years! can he get one this year?

You make that play an incompletion and they have a long fg attempt! And we have the lead for the rest of the game

I blame him more then anyone for this game.

Bleh. aaaarrrgh.

I hate accepting that we're just an avg football team but we are just that.

5 and 5.

Definitely not one of the elite teams.. man, imagine if WE had GARCIA. pssh. we'd be great.

He played awesome today, hats off to him! Good game plan and good win for tampa bay, they deserved it.

I think the people who bitch and moan about the "play calling" are the real homers, the ones that never seem to hold the players accountable, like if we had a different coach we'd "fer sure" be undefeated. When you ask them for specifics they rarely can make one good point, it's like trying to disprove jesus to a jesus freak. you can't argue with people speaking in hypotheticals.

So you people complain all you want and think that we should be doing better, that we deserve a better record.

We dont. We are where we should be.. it's a log jam in the nfc north. Im not complaining.. lets improve and maybe give t jack a chance.. frerotte is becoming more and more marginalized
