…idk, but that
Packers vs Vikings MNF game is looking like it’ll be a fun shoot out.
——————————————————

If by shootout do you mean Aaron Rodgers lights up that awful secondary while McNabb limps around and gets annihilated by Clay Mathews with the Packers winning 42-0?… In that case I agree with you 100%

So now Aromashodu gets to burn the Vikes for a SECOND time in his career…

As far as I know, Martz wanted DA to learn how to play slot and DA didn’t want to. Not sure what that says about DA or Martz but I personally think the Vikings got a steal. DA has so much potential, I just hope the Bears don’t find out about it the hard way. Good luck DA.

@bbrewwddogg – If I had a nickel for every time some jagoff came in from the milking barn to post the same regurgitated crap about the Vikings.

- Why are you so angry? I’m pretty sure this is the first time I’ve mentioned that it is looking like Frazier is another Chilly.

@schmitty2 – Too bad I’m not a Vikes fan Genius. And for you to make comments about other peoples comments is about as hypocritical as it gets. So your favorite team won the SB–congrats! You better PRAY and I mean PRAY that they dont have a SB hangover. If you dont believe me look at the Saints

- if you’re not a vikes fan, why do you care? And, obviously it’s not a given – it’s hard to win the Super Bowl, but I gotta say, I like our chances

Your right..I shouldnt care..just like you shouldnt care about a team so much that has no chance of winning your division.

When did the vikes re-hire Chilly? Washed up has-been QB, another terrible Bears receiver, letting their own talented receivers get away? Yikes. Actually, I have to give minny fans credit, sticking with their team through moves like this.. yikes. I guess.

I think it’s safe to say your more obsessed with talking crap about the Vikes then following your beloved Packers. We all realize the Vikes arent going to be that good so why bother?

This is what I get for trying to be positive? I’m acknowledging that you vike fans are standing by your team during what is about to be a very dark period. Good for you!

And, why don’t you mind your own business, if I had a nickel everytime some vike fan complained about somebody else’s comment… You guys are whinier than mcnabby.

————————————

The dark period for Viking fans has been going for about 20 years now. That’s when the Packers finally emerged out of their quarter-century of pathetic ineptness and became competitive again, and we had to start listening to idiots with no real life friends like you.

As for the Vikings, you go ahead and keep predicting their downfall. Just like in the mid-90s, after the Walker thing, when they were losing all those Pro Bowl regulars (do you need me to list them?)…..and the ’98 came. And after that team came apart piece by piece, culminating with Moss and Culpepper leaving…..and that didn’t last long either. Let history be a lesson to you.

And besides, why don’t you mind your own business. If I had a nickel for every time some jagoff came in from the milking barn to post the same regurgitated crap about the Vikings, I’d have enough to buy the Vikings and build the stadium myself.

All the Vikings need to do now is sign Nnamdi Asomugha and then (combined with Visanthe Shiancoe) they would have the NFL’s most unpronounceable roster.
——————————-

Don’t forget Michael Hoomanuwanui and Brandon Ayanbadejo!! And didn’t they sigh Emmanuel Arceneaux and Juaquin Iglesias too? I’m thinking the WR corps will be fun on announcers next year….. I would say Houshmandzadeh too but everyone knows that one by now. Maybe Mohamed Massoquoi? Put Roethlisberger with that wideout group and see how much the announcers swear…..

“Iglesias motions into the backfield behind Roethlisberger, Aromashodu and Massoquoi split left, Arceneaux right with Hoomanuwanui in tight…. and the snap, Roethlisberger drops back, looking for Hoomanuwanui over the middle… PICKED OFF!!! Intercepted by Captain Munnerlyn, who gets a big block from Niko Koutouvides….. Can’t these guys change their names already?!?!?”

Don’t forget they already have Naufahu Tahi, although I’m hoping they cut him.

Sounds like an upgrade over Hank Baskett at #5WR. I wonder what his wife looks like.

By: asublimeday

asublimeday — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 15:57:46 +0000

He was an unwilling blocker and had drops going over the middle against the lions.

In other words, a softie with the occasional case of stone hands.

Lovie/Chicago is blue collar. No Softies.

And yes, softie is a substitute for another word I’d like to use that is synonymous with cat.

I really thought this guy was going to be something special with the way he came on at the end of 2009. Doesnt seem like like anyone understands what happened last year and why he was inactive for games. I doubt the Vikings paid out much so probably not a big risk for them.

do they just sign bears wr’s now up there in minny?

By: theytukrjobs

theytukrjobs — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 14:56:54 +0000

Not an earth shattering move but doesn’t this guy have a similar physique and play set as Berrian?

Is the writing on the wall?

“Devin Aromashodu will continue playing the NFC North this season, he’ll just be doing it for a different team.”

That’s if you count what he did last year as “playing”. He was deactivated frequently

Curious about contract details. “Aroma” showed signs of great play with Cutler last year… the one or 2 games where he was playing anyway… not sure what the deal was with that…

The Vikes like Bears WRs for some reason…

@jimmysee

Reports are that Aromashadu never wanted to learn more than one WR role on the offense.

In fact, I’d argue the only reason he showed even a little spark is because his QB loves tall WR’s. If Knox or Hester were a few inches taller, he’d be on a practice squad somewhere.

This still isn’t as dumb as paying all that money to Berrian years ago. Guy could only run one route–the fly.

I think he was in Lovie’s doghouse or something, he started the year with 5 for 71, then was inactive the next game

By: axespray

axespray — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 13:45:30 +0000

He’s probably better than Bernard “UCantSeeMe” Berrian …
paired with Sidney, along with Mac5 behind center and AD in the backfield…idk, but that
Packers vs Vikings MNF game is looking like it’ll be a fun shoot out.

I love Devon — Has huge ability — BUT if he was not able to show it off with the Bears who had Jay Cutler at QB, how will he do so with the Vikes who truly have NOONE — Mr. Mysterioso — set to start week one!

Why? Is there a line of teams waiting to sign him? With so much talent at WR available in FA… why?
