It would be nice if statements on fan boards had any affect on the game. I don’t know why anyone would get on Reigman for his opinions. He never calls out any poster by name; he has strong opinions. I like that. Here are mine:
-13 wins for a team that had no D was a miracle. We will never again see, in any sport, anything like this ever again, ie a team with a .250 roster winning at this rate, in so many close games.
-GOOD NEWS!!! We only nee to make a few adjustments to get this roster from .250 to .750.
-The offense is already top 10. Stop blaming Cousins for everything. He is who he is, a better than avg dude.
-Make a few changes on D. Go back to 4-3. Fire Donatell. Send EK and Hicks to Green Bay. Never again allow Bynum or Sullivan to see another snap in purple. If we can upgrade this D in a few specific spots, we can be legit. I must be the only one who sees how devastating EKs presence has been on this team. I blame him for 75% of the teams failures. He was invisible the entire season.

We could actually take a step back record wise and still be a better team. It's been known to happen.
For Reignman he doesn't provoke because he dislikes confrontation. The opposite is very much true so we are giving it to him like he wants and he in turn is enjoying I told you so. That usually doesn't provoke much...does it? *whistle*

If being a Viking fan was easy ~ everyone would do it.

Blah, blah, blah. Shut the f*ck up you absolute stupid f*ck.

We could engage better then this. Reignman enjoys this sort of banter so we'll move on.
He is an all or nothing guy so he himself is stuck in some syndrome of his own making.
Reignman if you honestly have so little confidence in this team but 38k post count on such a teams board...who needs their head examined?

You are one mellow mod! I called a fudgepacking troll a troll one time and had Funky and an underling all over me! But I am a mean poster.... *cheerleader*

Nay you aren't so mean. Besides you know my battle scars. Never provoke someone who knows where your bodies are buried.

Nothing was fun about this season imo. Most games stressed me out and gave me a headache. Yeah we went 13-4 with a first year HC, but I’m not thanking the team for accomplishing the bare minimum, which is getting into the post season. You don’t get any trophies just because you had a good record in the regular season. Any season that didn’t result in getting a Lombardi trophy is failure. So yes, thank you Vikings, thanks for nothing once again.

When I first boarded Funky was worried because I came from that mean bunch over on the horn.

The Vikings went further than anyone expected, and further than anyone reasonably predicted with so much new in the GM, coaching, and culture.

This simply isn't true. I'm far from "championship mindset", and I said 10-12 wins, get in the playoffs, and win a game or two. Build on that. Those were both fair and realistic, with running it back. That was the expectation. Went further? Where did we go?

Winning 13 games in the regular season and losing in the Wild Card round is not better than winning, say, 10 games and winning a game or two in the postseason. 10 games would've won the NFCN just the same as 13. We really needed to win in the postseason for this season to inspire confidence moving forward. Now, like it or not, we're just left with more questions.

Same number of playoff wins as 2020 and 2021, just a more entertaining regular season for some.

Probably a real fun year to be a season ticket holder (up until that playoff game), but in the end no one will care that we won the division or 13 games this season. All people will remember was the beatdown in the playoffs by one of the worst teams in the playoffs.

Actually what Reignman enjoys is sh*tting on his fellow fans in generally back-handed ways, and getting free "reign" (no pun intended) from management around here to do so. That is all it really boils down to. If the NY Giants guy said you are all "sawft" fans with Stockholm syndrome how long would he last, two seconds?

You're really just saying we'll take abuse from our own but not from others, but in the end abuse is abuse. You shouldn't take it from anyone.

Well 38K post count makes him some kind of legend around here I guess. *whistle*

His admission to me "how much fun I'm having" kind of lost my respect but that's just me.
Not an person I'd sign a pact with for sure. *devil*

As was stated he does work hard at cherry pick stats to prove his points...now he can victory lap it up.

Wow pile on Reignman instead of simply blocking him...this board does have that setting, NO?

Yeah, he was warned enough, he's gone!

FTR, that ice fishing comment was a shot at Minny fans. He can still PM To whine about his banning if he wants, but he can no longer post.

I banned him!

Thank you, Vikings, for exceeding expectations! It was a very fun season when most of us did not except Vikings to make the playoffs with a new general manager, new head coach, new coaching staff, and a new scheme, now Vikings have alot of work to do in the offseason and the draft!

I get both sides of this argument.

There are fans like this that don't live and breathe all things Vikings, so to them, a good season is the ability to enjoy a 13-win year on Sundays when the team performed above expectations.

Then there's the majority of us who are tired of falling short in the end, irrespective of our regular season performance, and won't be happy/grateful until the brass ring is caught.

I'm not going to pass judgement on those who don't see fandom through my eyes, we can all enjoy (or be disgusted) by this team in our own way and still come together as fans to discuss them.

	You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you are not capable of great violence, you are not peaceful, you are harmless.
