it almost seems like you're making unrealistic expectations out of spite.
But ok, if you want to consider my Super Bowl expectations "spite" because this useless team has failed to deliver me a Lombardi in 61 years, I can accept that. Call it what you want because what's not acceptable, is the fact that they haven't won a Super Bowl in 61 years.
Fans make the mistake of believing ownership/management care about winning Super Bowls. Ohhhh they'll shove us much, "hey look at us, we're trying to win a Super Bowl" propaganda down your throat all offseason, but they care about making money and if they can do that at 9-8 because the fan base only has 9-8 expectations, then enjoy a big helping of 9-8. Ahhh shucks darn, maybe next year guys .
They'll care about winning Super Bowls when the fans start expecting them to win Super Bowls. Stop applauding this useless franchise for slapping together another fluke 13 win season that ends in yet more disappointment, because it's only going to motivate them to slap more lipstick on this pig and hope they have the same kind of luck next year.
That has seriously been the Wilves working plan since they got here. That hasn't worked for this franchise since 1970, the last time they won 12+ games in back to back seasons. Our fluke magic carpet rides since have never been repeated the following.
FLUKE SEASON FOLLOWING SEASON
1998 15-1 1999 10-6
2009 12-4 2010 6-10
2017 13-3 2018 8-7-1
2022 ?? 2023 ??
What's that, an average of 5 games worse the following year? Can has moar pwease? Let that sink in for a second. This team literally hasn't assembled a sustainable 12+ win roster in nearly 50 years. Those are the only 3, soon to be 4. Not one of those seasons began with 12 wins on anyone's mind, they were just pleasant surprises. I bet you saps believed the 3 following seasons were going to be 12+ wins though, as you will next year lol. Suckers! B-b-but this regime is different, c-c-cuz collaboration and s-s-smiles. Wake up and smell the propaganda.
So we're looking at about 8 wins next year, which sounds about right to me. The old slow guys will be a year older and slower, and if they're replaced ... replaced by who? Our current depth is worse than the old slow guys, and the 2022 draft class is looking like an absolute bust. Maybe Kwesi can trade back with division rivals and collect a few more China dolls in 2023.
So yeah, poor me and my high expectations. I have to deal with these frauds on the field and the fans collective stockholm syndrome off. It's the perfect storm of sustainable mediocrity and empty trophy cases.
Do you enjoy the Vikings or just the winning? Maybe even further, do you even enjoy football?
