In short...no. They're looking like an 0-16 team this year. It's just an absolute dumpster fire in Buffalo.


I don't see how a team like the Vikings who have played 2 close games to start the season should be looking past the Bills. They have to know they have some legit holes to work on. There are a couple key players out so that's not the best. We are gonna see one of the Rookie RBs...heck maybe they will have both active depending on who all is healthy.

I am hoping it is just media talking, but everything has been about last week and nothing about this week.

This is professional football not the NCAA tournament where you might be trying to scout your second round matchup because you are playing a 16 seed in round 1. There's a reason they all say we have to take it one week at a time. The team and Zimmer is not looking past the Bills. The fans and media are because the Bills are trash. The 49ers game wasn't that close and the Packers game was only close because Special Teams was garbage and -16 on the day between the punt block TD and missed FG's. This is gonna be a blowout.

Well you guys called it. I'm frankly shocked a Zimmer team didn't show up at all to play. 2 fumbles from Cousins. Multiple major penalties to extend their opening drive. Hopefully they pull their heads out of their asses and come back in the second half to win.

I'm blaming Bleed for this debacle...we need to consider banning him from the board for life :)

The Vikings should never be a double digit favorite. It's insulting to our storied history of choking.

Isn't our D supposed to be dominant? How much did we pay Cousins? I can't even have real feelings about the Vikings anymore.

I didn't see the game while I was out on Tonka, but when we stopped for lunch at Lord Fletchers I saw the score and just about needed CPR.

I think Zimmers schemes have been decodes, and the weaknesses of the players recognized. Their defense hasn't been dominant, much less good since the Saints game. I was worried about teh O-line going into the season and they're proving to be a huge weakness, but in the end it won't matter without a defense!

So now for fall and winter sports we have the imploding Wolves, the fraudulent Vikings, and the never better than mid-pack Wild. Whatever....
