On the whole, the season was a disappointment, and our Victory Verse about the Detroit win reflects this reality.
We offer a Loss Lament to follow Minnesota’s loss to the Saints. It’s safe to say that Mike Zimmer’s seat is getting pretty hot.
The Christmas tree is lit
And all the stockings are filled.
The kids can hardly sit
And the eggnog is mostly chilled.
A day removed from our Buccaneers thrashing
Leads me to a heartfelt plea, one full of compassion:
What I felt yesterday, can be hard to express,
Those Vikings gave us fans some undue stress.
Heights of wonder, depths of despair
Playoff hopes seemed beyond repair.
Unable to tank.
In football purgatory;
On Sunday we stank.
It was a blustery night in the Windy City
So Minnesota’s play was far from pretty.
Oh, Minnesota, gentle and true,
Who in their right mind
Could ever doubt you?
