I’ve been waiting for this night since the season began. A chance for the Vikings to play on national televison and show the football world that we can play. What happens? Thus far we have shown a severe disrespect for how the game should be played. Misaligned defenses, terrible formations on offense and my boy Chris Kluwe can’t punt the ball. Where does the fault lie? Yes, we can and should put blame in the players on the field… But what about their leadership?
Minnesota has been synonymus with failed leadership by their head coach. The problem comes from lack of representation; a team without an outspoken leader. Childress did it and Frazier is following in his gloomy footsteps. It is said that a man may lead a horse to water, but they can’t make them drink. Our leadership has shown the tape, ran plays and strategized to defeat the opponent. But they have failed to lead them to the endzone.
Why? A leader doesn’t need to condemn, complain and whine that the end goal isn’t bring attained. They need to find the mistake and correct it. That hasn’t been done in our team.
I’m not saying that Frazier needs to yell and use intimidation to get his point across, but he needs to show his frustration. He needs to inform his players that their actions don’t support the cause. A leaders expression should show the demeanor of the group and Frazier’s lackluster and calm attitude won’t help the Vikes win.
Lead with passion, pursue with confidence and win with style.
The mighty Boa has been a Vikings fan for over 40 years. Living in the deoirtt area, there is a natural hatred for the lions. This year is absolutely ghastly. Most friend have had NO interest in the NFL for years. Naturally, THIS year, they’re suddenly all big lion fans. Every week the phone calls come. Oh, that’s right. YOUR team lost again. When the Vikings were completely dominant over the lions, they never knew anything about losing again because of course, they didn’t watch football . How absolutely unfitting that now they will quite likely celebrate a SB victory after being fans for a year, while the mighty Boa, after more than 40 years of being a fan, can still be waiting.Frazier should be gone. The mighty Boa was not happy with this selection from the very start, especially after learning he was in charge of the defense that had already shown a propensity towards blowing leads. It shows. This team, for the last couple of decades, has always leaned towards being satisfied with mediocrity and now it is worse than ever. Perhaps they feel that having Peterson will keep the stands mostly full. Who knows? But there need to be some major changes made.
