Why Vikes Fans are Disgruntled

These are weird times in Minnesota.

Vikings fans are stuck between cheering for 3-3 team with a great defense, or expressing their utter disdain with a vanilla coach with a boring offense that fumbles, punts and bumbles their way to flukey referee induced last second field goal victories.

True, a win is a win is a win, and many teams have seen success with lousy offenses and great defenses, but this type of football does not do much to endear the passions of people who spend their hard earned money looking for entertainment.

I think the Dome crowd, like myself, were very upset at the fact that they wasted a Sunday afternoon watching garbage, paying for garbage, and spending time with garbage instead of doing soemthing more productive with their families.

It's one thing to win ugly, but good god, you can't charge people for preseason games all year long can you? Last I checked, the Vikes were supposed to be professional. I can go watch crap like that for free. I am expecting some offensive effort when I go to a game. I think thats what Vikes fans are trying to express when they boo.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and maybe winning ugly is what Childress does best? If takes boredom to beat Green Bay, I guess I will be okay with that, and Childress has another shot at that coming up in November.

Go Defense!
