Iloka to VIkes?

Good pick up by the Vikes, and I don't think it was a bad move by the Bengals either.

Agreed. He didn't suit what we want (turnovers) with our safeties anymore, but he'll slide right into that Zimmer defense seamlessly.

They might win some playoff games here and there, but they’re almost as used to heartbreak as we are.

They've been to 2 conference championships in the last 9 years. I wish we could say the same. They also replace coaches when they fail.

I believe the point is that they're trying to make the SB by spending big money to upgrade the QB position, which was considered a weakness for them, despite the uncharacteristic season from Keenum. The Bengals have never been known to make that kind of big splash to make a run.

I’m just getting a little annoyed with all the Vikings love on this board anymore tbh. I liked Zimmer as much as the next guy, but it seems some have really adopted that team as their own, which I just could never do. I root for one team, and one team only, the Cincinnati Bengals. Other than rooting for whoever is playing the Steelers I couldn’t care less about other teams.

They don't have to win it all to prove that they really tried. 

I can agree with your second point though. If someone leaves the Bengals, I don't root for their new team. Bengals only for me.

Do I root for certain teams to lose? Sure...but I don't adopt a 2nd team.

We could probably go 0-16 and Marvin would be back. Have to hope we can just win despite him.

I gave up on Marv going anywhere. Even last year, I was sure he'd be back. He's here until he decides to retire, and I think he still loves his job.

I just do the same thing I did through the 90's. Get interested in watching our young talent, and hoping for good draft positioning.

Watching through losing is part of being a fan.
