Does anyone else feel like they have lost a lot of confidence in the vikings doing really well this year after todays game???

nope it's just one game, and we were still in the game after all the errors by our offense. i haven't lost any confidence or faith in the Vikings. i knew they wouldn't go undefeated, i thought we would win the game, but as fans we all go into a game thinking we should or least have a chance to win most of the games that we play.

Well, considering it's only one game... nevermind.. some people don't get it.

You know, the Offense did alot more gelling today then the Defense had to (this was considered a gelling game for the defense and look what they did, imagine 5 weeks from now :shock: ) but anyway, the Offense IMO needs more gelling then the Defesnse does. There was mis-communication on several plays (Bureson wrong route, INT, more INT"s, O-Line is brand spankin raw) and as far as the running game goes, I consider it, and the terrible O-Line play, as the same thing. Melwede was out with two sprained ankles (seriously) and Culpepper made bad decisions under pressure.

I am confident that from here we go up.

I feel every top10 pick that didnt score 5 TDs today is a bust because you know if you dont produce in the first game your only going to get worse right?

Was that before or after he retuned that kick?

No, I haven't lost confidence. I still think that our team has heart, we will see how that plays out though in the next couple of weeks.

We have the talent on the field. I am still not convinced (and haven't been since the meltdown to Arizona back in 2003) about our coaching staff and the leadership there.

Something to think about: A lot of these guys came here in the offseason to play with DC. He needs to gain the confidence of these men back in the next game so they don't lose the belief that they can win big this year. If that happens, who knows.
