Because you were all upbeat and Ricky's my boy,in Zim we trust...SUPER BOWL! *cheerleader*

So because I'm upbeat about this team and happen to like Kirk/Spielman/Zimmer/Kubiak etc... I can't share my thoughts on the current play of the team? I don't get it. The team is struggling and not playing well right now. That's not changing my tune. I'm being real. Just because they ain't playing well now doesn't mean I somehow changed the way I think about this roster. I don't think we'll suck and only win 2 games like some fans. Have you noticed the group of new posters on here? *whistle*

The offense and defense are playing poor. Maloof and STs look good though....

Bailey is perfect. I like Cuttings, KJ and Colquitt.

Yeah...so what!? Are you implying that I shouldn't comment on the team now because I didn't share the same view of the roster as you or others?

I'll give you credit though,at least you're still showing up,unlike some of the other purple sunglass brigade who have conveniently vanished.

Of course I'm going to show up!! I'm not going anywhere....I've been busy as of late, but I won't suddenly disappear because we're losing games.

Well, anyone who isn't participating in the PPA Contest of course!

I don't wish to draw this thread off-topic any further, as this isn't the place to be talking about this.

That's my guy! *thumb_up*

I've actually been really busy, too -- for months actually. Working crazy hours, switching back and forth between first and third, doing 50+ hours a week most weeks, etc.

Sometimes I just don't have the energy when I read the same thing 400 times in a row. Wish we didn't have an echo chamber, but it is what it is at this point. Some people have stopped posting for various reasons, but I know the constant, overwhelming negativity is one. Okay, we suck. We know that. But do we need to fire everyone and their dog WEEK EFFING TWO?!?! Probably not. Just as if we were 2-0, it wouldn't be time to talk SUPER BOWL, HOMEBOY. See how that works?! It's BEEN TWO EFFING WEEKS! People need to chill a bit and get back to reality -- that goes for both extremes.

*govikes*

I hope the Vikes find a way to win tomorrow, so I don't have to go into full EMBRACE THE SUCK mode, because it's been many years since that ... and I don't wanna go back. lol.

My mother lives in a big house and her health doesn't allow her to get around as much lately. She has a huge list of things for me to do every week..... *help*

Good thing I live only 3 blocks away......

EMBRACE THE SUCK

I'm embracing it at the time being, BUT I still feel there is still a chance to make a run for a playoff spot. 14 games left........... *thumb_up*

I love and am always supportive of my team...even when we stink like this year. I do think think that we played well yesterday, just couldn't close out the game. I believe that has to do with such a revamped defense. We need Hunter back.

The biggest loss is someone who hasn't even dawned Purple and Gold yet. A Micheal Pierce is so badly needed.

Totally agree. Leaves me wishing we had Linval back. But, I do respect Pierce's decision not to play.

Yes, you have to. But he is severely missed. Zimmers D is best on 3rd and long when he can unleash his blitzes. 3 and short is not a strength. He plays his corners off way too far and it's like pitch and catch

Pierce is a run stuffer,so he will help improve the run D.He's not going to help pressure the QB much.
