It's like they played the super team of Detroit four weeks in a row.
I still want them to win a couple along the way somewhere though just to make sure they don't get Andrew Luck.
Agreed. Leslie Frazier, the other Ray Rhodes.
They are just awful. They compound their problems by overpaying Chad Greenway - a guy who never stands out - and then giving that monster contract to Peterson.
Ponder needs to be the starter next week. He should have probably started this week but if they start McNabb again this week you have to wonder WTF they are doing.

Their coaching staff is so bad, they'd probably pick a punter in the first round.
I didn't think it could get worse without chilly but Frazier and their O coordinator might be just as bad

Bingo.
If that guy gets on that team, their fortunes change immediately and drastically. Absolutely wanted the Vikes to win today for that reason alone.
He's as good a QB prospect that has come around in awhile. The days of the Vikings being a laughingstock are over if Luck enters that organization. I'm starting to get a little nervous that they've got an excellent shot in that sweepstakes right now.
So in the past week you've been super nervous about all those HOF'ers and forthcoming titles in Detoilet, and now you're losing sleep over Luck possibly in MN?
Borrowing stress is never a good idea. You want some of mine instead?

Time to change your name to fightfear or fightstress.
Maybe it was Croc boys' "little Bert" that knew when to get out ...

LOL, yes I'm a bit of a worrywart but I am enjoying the Packer journey nevertheless.
Detroit was awful today, but boy, they seem like they have a horseshoe up their butts and waited for Romo to hand them the game.
It would be pretty sweet for the Vikings to finish with the SECOND worst record in the NFL. That would be the ultimate in suckiness for them. I really don't want Andrew Luck on that team though, I think he'd help them ALOT and maybe give a hopeless organization a ray of hope.
Detoilet is getting better, no question. Still, let me know when they win something that matters. They deserve credit for today, but they were still dealing with one of the more notorious choke artist QB's in the NFL today who literally gave them 14 points. The only good win I'd give them so far is at Tampa on opening day. We'll see about them soon enough.
As far as the Queens go, just enjoy their suck. They have earned it, their deals with the devil have led them to more than deserve it and no matter where they draft next year, they're going to get a highly rated player. That doesn't mean he'll be a great one anymore than he'll be a bust.

and their player personnel better start stepping up because the cupboard is/will be getting bare in a lot of areas.
imo, their suck could just be starting on a nice run ...

Miami, STL, and Indy haven't won a game yet either, and KC is still pretty bad even though they beat MN. I wouldn't bet the farm that the Vikings finish with the worst record in the league.
I also think it's interesting that we think Andrew Luck is destined to be a great QB when he hasn't even been drafted yet.

True... and heck, the guy could blow out his knee in his first game in the NFL. It happens sometimes. I think he's a great prospect though.
"Why do you even ponder passing?"

NFL scouts across the league have said Andrew Luck is the total package. On & Off the field. He's the best QB prospect since Peyton Manning & might be better coming out of college than Peyton was.
Miami, Minnesota, Indy would certainly take him. St. Louis (won't take him I don't think).
I still think Denver will end up getting the first pick.

I'm not really impressed with the Lions so far. I have yet to see anything from Stafford that makes you think he's a top 10 QB. Of his 11 TD's, 8 are to Johnson. And these aren't great passes; they're just jump balls that Megatron wins. You put any QB in there and they're playing as well as Stafford is right now. Put two guys on Johnson every play, especially in the end zone, and Stafford struggles (like in the first half).
As for the Vikings, will they draft Luck after taking Ponder in the first round last year? They should, but the Vikings have a knack for making bad decisions, especially when it comes to the quarterback position.

Only team that would trade out of that list of bad teams is STL. Nice thing is with the new cap, you can actually trade and get value for #1, because you aren't locked into a Jamarcus Russel contract...
Every other team takes Luck, no questions asked.

They are losers west of the Mississippi. Biggest mistake they ever made was to sign TOG last season. "What's his name" would still be coaching and they would have a couple wins at least this season.
As it is, they are going to be in a hole for quite awhile...quite a long while.
Where is my box of Kleenex? I may start laughing so hard, I will be crying.
TOG...what a jerk.

You guys still haven't figured it out. When everyone thought that TOG was sticking it to TT he was really sticking it to the Vikes by playing for them for 2 yeats. Thanks TOG.
Luck will still need a coaching staff to prepare him for the NFL. Unless Wilf cleans house after this season, I don't see anybody on that pathetic Viking's staff pulling that one off.

I'm going to assume you're just joking instead of being a dolt.
Bold prediction: this is Donavan's last year as a starter.
The Suck for Luck race will continue all season. But I recall reading this morning that Luck still has a year of college eligibility remaining after this year, so he may not declare for the draft. If true, he may not like who's at the top of the draft to take him, conceivably he could just buy another year of disaster injury insurance and play college ball another year.

Wow... what a mess. I almost feel bad for Viking fans.
As far as the suck for luck, if I were the Vikings I would hold an auction. This could be their Herschel Walker revenge moment. Somebody will overpay big time.

You get the #1 pick in 2012 and you keep it unless you have Aaron Rodgers or another top 5 to top 10 QB on your team. He's about the most sure thing to come out of the draft since Elway.
You know, its kind of ironic.
I never liked Eli Manning because he was a douche and just said he would never play for the Chargers.
After reading up, it turns out that (which I never realized back then) that horseface, errr, John Elway did the same thing.
Now Eli's brother's team is screwed and he may/maynot come back. If Indy wins the "Suck for Luck" race, I hope Luck does the same thing.
As far as the Vikings, even if they 'won', they would find a way to screw it up.
I like that.

If the vikes got the top pick in the draft, Luck would probably stay for his senior year and they'd have to melt down again
It may also happen that the people who run the NFL want the vikes + Luck to move to LA

Agree. Bradford hasn't yet done anything on the field to preclude the Rams from taking Luck. It's just that he's got that monster contract as an obstacle. 6 years, $78 million, $50 mil guaranteed.
$4 tickets
Not too hard to get a ticket for a Viking game these days! Love the last line of the blog - Packer envy lives.
And no, our mood did not brighten when we did a little comparison shopping and found one ticket to the next Packers home game, Oct. 16 vs. the Rams, starts at $190 on StubHub.
