Are the Minnesota Vikings really bad or are they just having a few bad games?

If you look at the history of the franchise....you will see that no matter how good or bad they are...they always inevitably manage to screw things up.

Carolina really need to do something. I think it is their staff, they need to get back to being the power run team we were. the offensive line need to be great. Jake need to stop making BAD THROWS. The defense is doing good. the offensive is not going well. They need to be better then that. Thats why I wish they would've pick up Mike Anderson in the off season to give them that power run.

It's a tradition that goes back to the earliest days of the NFL.  Although it's true that the Lions haven't been very good lately, they are 33-30-2 in the 65 games that have been played on Thanksgiving since 1934.  They are 5-5 in the last ten Thanksgiving Day games.

I don't hate them. One can really only hate the Minnesota Vikings, Chicago Bears or Dallas Cowboys.  But maybe it is because they traded for Randy Moss. Or maybe because they always seem to get a lot of penalties.

Well I think they're in between 'struggling' and 'sucking'.  Their age is catching up with them (not to mention their lack of speed.  They could be the slowest team in the NHL).  \nBlues = sucking\nBlackhawks = sucking\nPenguins = sucking\nPanthers = sucking\nLeafs = licking

I dont see a lot of people liking the Vikings besides Minnosota peeps or maybe green bay peeps. Without Daunte, the % of fans will decrease I gaurenteed it.

The game was rotten.\n\nThe post game whining that's continued until apparently now, is worse.

At the beginning of the year I couldn't believe they played so poorly. Last 3 weeks doing great. Don't get too excited, may be a couple years before they get back to their glory days. On side note they are battling with the city of San Francisco on a new stadium. Also, Bill Walsh is battling Leukmia, my prayers to the coach.

The Chargers for the AFC. Rivers is getting better, minus this past week, all the time. L.T. is literally a God amongst men. McCardell still comes up with big plays even at his age and Gates is clutch. Sean Merriman is back and the defense should have the majority of it's starters by the first week of the playoffs. Not to mention that the Charges snapped the Colt's undefeated season last year with a team that wasn't as good as they are now.\n\nThe NFC is tough. So many mediocre teams. No one stands out, really. The Bears are playing okay but it's because of their defense. They've been scraping by lately. The Saints are playing mediocre too but if some of that team starts taking up more slack instead of Brees doing it all I could see them in the Superbowl.

Just because they had a very strong dffensive line, doesn't mean that they can win games without any other positions. They lacked in Offense, Special Teams, and just about every other Defensive position. There conference is also very strong, and they are not able to win against such strong teams with just a good D-Line.

The answer that ive come up with is yes, their one game out of the wildcard and that Tampa Bay, but they play some of the toughest teams in the NFC in the next three weeks, this week being KC, who have lost a couple in the past but against A+ teams, next the washington redskins, who arnt that great at 6-6 but i think that there running back (Clinton Portis) is gaining momentum, so there on the fence, and there closer is agains Carolina who is 9-3 and has the best WR (Steve Smith) im the NFL, all im sayin i think its time to give up.

Vikes have a different scheme now, different from the gunslinging game that Mike Tice preached. It will take some time of the players to get used to it. \n\nThey do need a yaouger more mobile QB, plus a better running game (maybe a tandem of two backs) . Troy Williamson is still young and will develop in a year or two.\n\nThe Vikes fans are angry? That's a surprise. They are the most patient fans I've known

Here is the deal if you look at their games and they way they played you will see they sometimes play down to their competition.  They are the best team in the NFC and I think they will play like it and handle both of the New York teams the big test will be whether or not they can put together a complete game against New England.  If the Bears play to their potential they will win all three games.  Your assessment of the Bears is skewed and makes me think you really don't know that much about NFL \nfootball.  They did play Minnesota who has one pof ethe best D's in the league.  Sure the Bears didn't put up a lot of points , but they won and that is what matters.  \nI'll make it simple for you, through the first half of the season the Bears have played poorly in two games and they won one of them.  Other than that they did what they are supposed to do, they beat Minnesota who will be a playoff team and they pasted the bad teams on their schedule.  \nThe Giants have better skill position players on Offense, but their line isn't good enough to stop a motivated Bears D.  What happened when the Giants played Seattle?  And what happened when the Bears played them?  You are insane if you think Shawn Alexander makes that big of a difference.  \nThe JEts just plain stink, so if their Bears play well that won't even be a contest.\nThe Pats only have two offensive weapons, Brady and Maroney.  Again if the Bears play well those two won't be be enough of a factor to help out the Pats D, which the bears should be able to run on.\nThe Bears aren't the best team in the league right now, that is clearly the Colts.  But the only problem the Bears team has is that they don't always show up to play.  When they are at their best though they are right there with the Colts and are head and shoulders above the rest of the NFC.

They don't suck, they just lose a lot!  O-Line is the basis, but did you guys see all the injuries they had last year?!?!  Plus, Gafney was not helping Johnson (injured last year) at the WR position.  Carr is solid and he's getting the offense.  They lost most games by close margins last year and will surprise a lot for people this year once they pick up some guys to block.  They also play in an incredibly tough division (Colts, Jaguars, Titans in prior years) so don't expect them to boost their record with division creme puffs a la the Seahawks.

because having a one bad season doesnt make you a less of a quality team...not like the texans or 49ers...they have consistently shown they are not great quality teams...but they still have fans...now take the titans..they have decent years..but now they are really struggling......your team cant be the all amazing ones year after year..no matter who you are....\ngo steelers!! steeler faithful for life
