My first post

I'm new to the forums. Just wanted to say hi, and thanks for maintaining such a worthy site!

I remember the first time I decided to be a true vikings fan. 1988 my dad was fixing his truck drinkin suds, he plopped me down infront of the tv and the 49ers were playing the vikes to see who would advance to the superbowl.

I remember thinking to myself (7 years old at the time) that they were a very exciting team. I liked everything from the helmets to the style they played and even though they got tore a new one I never looked back been a fan ever since.

I joined the team that seems like they could go all the way every year but have mental seizures when they have victory in thier grasp!

I think a person gets 15 years added on their age from stress if they are a fan

Seriously though anyone remember when or why they chose to follow the vikes?

I kind of came in twith the wrong (but right) attitude. I didn't understand the pecking order of the boards, lol, so I came in guns blaring! I never even introduced myself in free beer! But here it is...
__________________________________________________ ____________

Alright guys....every week i watch the Vikings and for the past several weeks I've been screaming at the televison hoping Scott Linehan will hear me whereever he is....I yell repeatedly "Stretch the field!" :evil: I've noticed over the past several weeks, the Vikings haven't so much as chucked it deep...just once! In my opinion you need to heave one every once in a while to keep the defense on their toes. So i did some detective work, and I found that in the last 10 weeks in which the Vikes are 3-7, they have had just 22 plays over 20 yards, and 9 of those have come in their wins against Jacksonville and Detroit. So I ask you Viking nation....where have the big plays gone? And if you give me that "they're playing cover 2" crap, thats bull. If they're playing cover 2 and they only have 7 guys up in the box and 2 safeties back, then we need to commit to the run and jam it down someones throat....any thoughts?

Hello,
I am new to this site, love it. Been a hardcore Viks fan from NoDak (now in Cleveland, yuk) for 30 years. My question is this: is Chris Hovan playing at the level we need him to play at? The guy has some other tough defenders around him now, is he doing anything? Maybe he is just a hole plugger. Your thoughts are appreciated!

I remember my first post was about Jim Kelly being in the Hall Of Fame. I just bursted on the scene without really introducing myself.
