***2024 Minnesota Vikings***

Not sure if this should go in the cave. This is unacceptable.

Too many losers living their life through their sports team.
 
I'm disappointed, but not discouraged with the season so far. If the Vikings could cut their turnovers in half they are 2-0. If they don't turn the ball over at all they win both by 10+. I like what Flores is doing with little talent to work with. Gotta win these next two and at least look competent Week 5 vs KC.

Not a great look for Minnesota fans.

Why even have a self run social media account as an athlete? If it’s just putting out posts for sponsors, hire someone to do that for you. Doesn’t seem worth the headache.

Every single fan base has these type of idiots. We should never paint the entire fan base by the ones that feel they have some sort of right to say these things to an athlete just because they didn't sportsball good enough last night.

And we shouldn’t excuse or dismiss it because every fan base does this.
 
At least Hunter has looked great so far this year. Although he probably won't be around next year.

We have no running game. The o-line sucks. Defense doesn't look much better than last year. Etc etc etc, same ol' crap as usual.
I would dispute some of this. Turnovers are the number one issue. Cut those and these two games look very different. We've given the other team the ball at a ridiculous rate and still had the ball with a 'chance' to win at the end. The team has warts to be sure but that one thing would make a huge difference.

Wasn't dismissing it. But the "Not a great look for Minnesota fans" comment is the classic "there's one jerk in the group, they're all jerks" type of mentality. The people who feel the need to directly attack athletes and especially the ones that do it with racism are poor excuses for humans.

This is crossing the line. It’s definitely okay to be mad and upset at your team losing, but this is just uncalled for.
 
I wish you could add a poll to an existing thread: What does everyone think regarding the suggestion that the Jets trade for Cousins? Third rounder maaaaaaaybe a Second?

Percentages say 0-2 teams don't make the playoffs and the next 3 games are Chargers, Panthers, Chiefs. 0-5 is not impossible.

If I'm the GM, I'm not only listening to offers, I'm outright checking. I get that Jefferson isn't going to like a tear down and doing it during a contract year is super risky, but unless Wilf is specifically forbidding it, I would be looking to pivot towards next season.

Certainly not how you want to start, but I don't know how many were predicting them to have a stellar jump out the gate anyway. I would have had them at 3-2 or 2-3 with probably losses to KC and Philly, wins against TB and Carolina, and a coinflip to LAC. The TB loss hurts, but if they can steal it back from LAC and beat the Panthers, even potentially losing to KC doesn't bury them for the season, especially in the NFC.

The problem is we have no idea whether those are actual Viking fans. Not unheard of to have fans of other teams pose as fans of another team to make that fan base look bad. And yes I’m talking about an instate rival of ours.
