We are Who We Thought We Weren't

I spent 3 hours today screaming at the TV, and using swear words I that saltiest sailor had forgotten years ago. My face was red with anger over dumb penalties, poor turnovers, dropped passes (was that Williamson?) and boinked field goals.

I was envious of the Titans defense, a team that somehow figures out how to pressure quarterbacks, and biach slap offensive lines. The Titans, not the Vikings, looked like the team that was promised to us at the NFL draft party this last April. At 1-3, the Vikings aren't eliminated, but this season of promise seems to be as likely as a Timberwolves playoff birth.

I can honestly say that this looks like the same old Vikings that Childress has presented to us for the last 2 years. His record? 0-5 vs Green Bay, and 15-21 overall. Brutal. I am just wondering out loud, when exactly will we see a game plan that looks like a kick ass offense?

At this point, I am hoping that 8-8 will be good enough to win the division, but advancing in the playoffs seems impossible. Here's to hoping that this regime figures out a way to turn it around, or get lucky and win a game sometime next month.
