The Sky Isn't Falling

Funny... The Vikings were so determined and confident that they were going to make a Superbowl run that they traded for Sam B to ensure it happens.

Gman couldn't even properly handle the situation with Josh and the terrible DB situation after he was sent packin'. We have all of that unused cap space and most of last year's 17-2 team returning and we didn't even try to make a run. 

Its a damn shame.

At this point, this is all I want. Was really hoping this season we achieved our first back to back winning seasons, and the franchise, overall, got over the .500 mark. We've been inconsistent our entire history. Was looking for some consistency, but Gettleman, so far, has made sure that won't happen.

How would that do us any good?

We'd lose out on a high draft pick (Fournette) and at 9-7 everyone will most likely keep their jobs. At this point we're 1-5 and the season is over barring a miracle. I rather just stink moving forward so there's more of a chance of changes happening and MAYBE just MAYBE it'll put Gettleman's ego in place.

As things stand now as long as this entire staff is kept this team will continue on the path they're on and continue to waste the careers of Cam and Luke.

I get the whole "seeing your team win" thing but for the sake of the future it's just not the best thing for us. Just like 2010, I was rooting for that number 1 pick because I knew this organization needed Cam if it was ever going to succeed

Good for 1 reason only,....so I dont have to hear an announcer or some jack hole troll say again...haha you guys have never had back to back winning seasons. At this point of the year we are in salvage mode. This would be my consolation.

    • I always get lectured every year when we inevitably win some meaningless late season games to tank our draft position that we're building culture and you always have to try to win no matter what. This is why that's bullshit. Once you're out of contention it's to your competitive advantage to LOSE. 
    • You’re tripping I hear what you’re saying but you’re not thinking of the benefits that trade gives us. We can then move around in the second round or late in the first to grab a specific player we covet like M Starks late in the 1st. Let me clarify if we’re at 21 we grab W Nolen or K Grant then trade up late in the 1 or early in the second giving up next years second for M Starks or T Amos there so much that can happen with that additional ammo.  Allowing us still so much leverage in next years draft as well with two first rounders we’d be dam crazy not to take a trade like that it’s not the big haul or heavy amount of picks we’re hoping for but it’s gets us multiple players especially ones we’ve seemed to taken a liking to like Nolen etc along with the safety from SC. or even a Luther B or James P early in the second. This nice influx in talent would help way more than a player like Jalon W. because of his high bust rate or probability  to bust….you know what I mean.  We need players we all know that those extra picks allow us to give up something this year to add key pieces from the 29-40 range that we may really like and have a need for (T Amos) and it not hurt as much because we’re stacked in round one of 26. Which could also be a pick one trade one scenario next year giving us more ammo to manipulate the draft to a winning situation for us long term. Al that to say we desperately need to be actively seeking a trade because we could add real talent in multiple spots this year and next with that current trade your opposing.
    • According to their list, the top guy hasn't put out a mock yet and the 2nd guy has us trading to 4 for Carter.
