In the words of Yogi, it is deja vu all over again. deja vu that strange feeling when the Vikings crap themselves exactly the same way that they did before. For Monty Python`s take watch from 23:09 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R39V-G9Ys78&t=2s

The team is so disappointing there is little anger or emotion... Just the comfortable numbness of waiting for the draft.

Excellent points Murph! I stoically held on to hope until our first Detroit "win." At that point the truth hit me right between the eyes: The Vikes are average at best.

I primarily blame the front office for agreeing to Opie of Mayberry's albatross of a guaranteed contract. Yes, subsequent decisions on where to spend what money was left negatively impacted the team too. Trade Opie.

I like Zimm. I really like Zimm. But his nepotistic choices for OC hurt us. I worry about Zimm's health. His hands shake on the sidelines when he holds the play card. I recall watching him field a press conference question and he physically started rocking forward and backwards as he answered... a psychological sign of extreme stress. His demeanor at press conferences is subdued, like a beaten man. Where has the fire gone? He needs a break from the game...

The COVID Dementors took out Cook and mark my words, they're descending for Opie too. What a fitting end for an emotional roller coaster crap season...

Great article Murph. Any optimistic that are left got stabbed in the heart yesterday.
