I'm done...until we get a new coaching staff

I've missed watching maybe 2 or 3 games since 1995. I've seen a lot of crap. But this crap takes the cake. We have actually regressed since last year, when we should have been getting better.

I watched every game in that god awful 1-15 season. And this just feels worse. Not just because it's the present but because we actually have some good players. I'm not saying we have a super bowl caliber roster because we don't, but we have enough good players in key positions that we should at a very minimum be competing for a playoff spot. And if not for piss poor coaching this year we would be in contention.

I know this post means nothing to Jerry Richardson (but it should since I know I'm not alone), but there you have it. I'm done.

Actually this season reminds me of 1-15 like no other season in the past. That team found baffling ways to lose too. The good news is they were in the super bowl with some smart personnel moves and a competent staff 2 years later.

Yeah there are some striking similarities between this year's team and that team. The thing is that I went into that year kind of expecting to be bad...not 1-15 bad...but bad nonetheless. This year I expected at worst 8-8.

I just said the same thing in the chat. This team is so much like 2001, except worse because this one has found unfathomable ways to lose that the 2001 squad couldn't even do on their worst day.

It sucks even more because this team has more than enough talent. The coaching is what kills us. The 2001 and 2010 teams lacked talent to win.

That being said, I don't know what to do. I no longer get upset when we lose, even in heartbreaking, unforeseen fashion, like we did today. It really didn't bother me. I expect it under this staff, which is sad. I haven't ever quit watching for any reason, but it really has gotten almost pointless to do so this year.

It seems against nature to hope we win now because I'm worried if we do RR will get another year. And I don't want to hope for my team to lose.

This team makes me feel like a battered wife. I keep saying I'm done with the team, the huddle, football, and yet I can't help but watch every Sunday. I can't stop watching this team no matter how much I try. Every Sunday I try and do something else, and the Panthers game comes on and I waste another 3 hours of my life watching it. I just can't help it. At least next week I can enjoy my Sunday and it'll just be my Monday getting ruined, and Mondays suck anyway.

    • As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.
    • He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.
    • Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
