Thailog80 Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 All off season? Looks it doesn't it? 37-8 today by the Bengals. Culpepper FIVE turnovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daquixers_is_back Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 It was even worse watching some of it ... it seems like Daunte is just tossing it up and hoping for the catch like he did when Randy was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 I bought into that philosophy too. Never mind Moss, what about all the money the Vikings spent to beef up their defense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 A lot of people believed it T80. I posted that the Vikes were going to struggle on offense but people told me Burleson was going to be a stud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the 49ers better since Owens left? Maybe in the locker room, but not on the field. What would you pick? 1 - Fights in the locker room but WINS on the field - or - 2 - Peace in the locker room and LOSS's on the field I dont know about you, but I would take option #1 just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC-Bills Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 In my opinion it's not so much the loss of Moss as it is the loss of last year's OC, Scott Linehan. He had them running the O quite smoothly when Moss was out. Wiggins was a great safety valve for Dante. The new guy (was their OL Coach) is in over his head. Teddy's D suffered for the same reason our D suffered today is because they were out on the field too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckincincy Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 All off season? Looks it doesn't it? 37-8 today by the Bengals. Culpepper FIVE turnovers. 445369[/snapback] Minnie was just terrible. The B'gals had an 86 yard td run by Chris Perry called back, Palmer threw an int into the EZ at the Vike 10 or so, and 2 lost fumbles by Culpepper were nullified by Bengal penalties. And Tice is daffy. The Vikes scored a late TD with about 2 and a half minutes left. Down 37 to 8, they try an on-side kick. Edinger kicks about 5 yards, and they were off-sides, too. Cincinnati ball on the 30 or so. So they hand off, moving the ball down to the 18 or so, and with 2:11 left, Tice calls a time out. Amazing...

Surfmeister Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 I thought that myself. But I also thought Van Halen was better with David Lee Roth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Minnesota will be a better club without Mike Tice. He's not going to last the season if this keeps going on. Good news is Ted Cottrell will probably be the interim coach & could keep the job if the team picks up its play under him. My over/under on Tice is after 4 games, because their bye is in week 5.

I never bought into the hype. Where are all those "so-called experts" now who had the Vikings in the Super Bowl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 I didnt buy that Minnesota would be better off without Moss but I did beleive Minnesota would have a great defense this year. They add Smoot, Phat Pat, Napoleon Harris, Cowart, Sharper to a team that already had Winfield, Udeze, Kevin Williams, EJ Henderson, etc. Then they give up over 500 yards to the Bengals today. They look great on paper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffOrange Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 So they're not going to start 6-0. Maybe they won't fold as much down the stretch, either. I still say they match last year's 9 win total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
