Mike Tice, I think you have overstayed your welcome!

What is this guy thinking? Here's the scenerio, 2:06 left, Viking's down by 4 points, but they are only 20 some yards away from scoring a touchdown with all their timeouts left. Everybody knows Viking's defense can't stop nobody, well, everybody except Mike Tice. A child who watches maybe 2 football games a year would know you run, run, run, get a touchdown and run the clock out. It was a done deal. Nope! Not Mike Tice, he's gotta hand the ball off to Moss and have him throw it into the endzone. Interception! Heck, even if it would have been a touchdown the Viking's would have left way to much time on the clock for the Seahawks to score, all a team needs is about one minute to score on the viking's. I think it's safe to say Mike Tice has 60 minutes to get something done once a week, and he doesn't have the slightest clue as to what to do with all that time. I guarantee, if I would have been coaching the Vike's today, we'd have a win.

One more bonehead call of his I just remembered now, in the first quarter, daunte ran the ball and it was ruled down 1 inch short of a first down, not inches, just one inch, and it was third down. OK, third down and one inch, Daunte fall forward and maybe get a couple inches and a first down and your closer to the endzone with a firstdown. Nope, not good enough for Mike Tice, he's gotta throw that stupid red challenge flag, they review, call stands, Daunte falls forward and gets a first down, but now they have one less timeout. What a really dumb coach.

I am a diehard Viking's fan, but with Mike Tice making these stupid calls every single week it gets very frustrating. We should have a much better record than we have now. WHY, WHY did we ever let Tony Dungy get away? Tice is doing nothing with the defense and he isn't even using his offense to near their ability. What a total waste! If it takes the Viking's missing the playoffs to get this guy fired, then I hope the Viking's don't make the playoffs! Come on here and call me a fair weather fan, heck, tell me I ain't a fan at all, I don't care! This guy is not NFL coach material, and everybody knows it except for him and Red Mccombs! How bad will it get before it gets better.

And now lets take a break for a word from our Stalin.image

  • I think the crowd feels the same way I do, frustrated with how the Viking's are throwing away this season by keeping Tice around. No other coach in the world would have let Moss throw that ball into the endzone with that much time left. That game was theirs, all they had to do was go and get it. Seahawks weren't stopping the run at all. Very bad coaching! Maybe he thought if it worked and the defense could stop the Seahawks from scoring, it would give them momentum in the games to come and into the playoffs, but that didn't work out at all. He needs to reread his NFL coaching for dummies book again!image

  • I wish Mike Tyson was the coach of the Viking's! There's no way he would have had Moss throw an interception in the endzone with 2 minutes left down by 4 points. If mike Tyson was our coach today, we would have won!

    Mike Tyson for head coach of the Viking's in `05!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Sounds like Tice will be fired after this season. Speaking of lousy coaches, God Bless Tyrone Willingham and good luck to Washington. I think their fans are going to be negatively surprised.

    The biggest problem I had with the Moss throw is that even if it worked and the Vikes scored a touchdown, the Seahawks would have had a full two minutes to score. They would have do so easily.

    The injuries and Ross are the reasons for another late season collapse. They are not a deep team by any means and are now playing without their two starting corners, two o-linemen, and their fullback. Don't expect another victory except maybe the Green Bay game which they usually play extremely well against at home.
  • Right now I'm not even expecting another victory. I'm not so sure the Viking's could beat the Dolphins. And your absolutely right, if it had worked they would have been up by three points, and Seattle would have had 2 minutes and two timeouts to score 7 points. Thats 1 minute and two timeouts more than they would have needed. I am absolutely surprised the Viking's defense isn't dead last, or is it today? I've never seen a worse defense in my life. The Viking's can score most of the time, but it takes them 5 or 6 minutes. Then they kick the ball off and the other team scores in 1 minute. If the other team can stop the Viking's one time in the whole game, they win!

    Hello, my name is 2323, and I'm a viking's fan, hardcore, but I'm also a realist.

    VIKING'S SUCK WITH MIKE TICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    I don't even want them to make the playoffs because I have too much respect for what Moss has done for the game, and I don't want him to have to be embarrassed again like he was when the Giants beat them 41-0 in the NFC championship game that the Viking's were favored to win.


    Red McCombs, Get rid of Mike Tice, draft defense next year, hire all new defensive coaches(I shouldn't even have to tell you that), trade one of our three good running backs for a big name defensive guy to help out the new guys, trade Hovan, he's done nothing this year. Keep the offense as close to as it is now as you can, make them defensive changes, get our defense to maybe #9 or #10 in the league, and in three or four years maybe we can get Daunte and Moss the rings they deserve.

    I'm calling you out Red McCombs, why do you buy a football team if you know so little about the game. No other team in the NFL would have hired Mike Tice as head coach? And you need some sort of a defense to go anywhere in the playoffs. We don't have one and you know it. Lets just call this season a total loss and in January lets get to work and spend some money and put this puzzle together. You've got the offense, now you need the coaches and the defense and it's go time.

    Im just glad Belicheck thinks much more clearly when a game is on the line........which is hardly ever. image
  • Ha! Tice says he would even get rid of himself, but McCombs still stands behind this guy. Maybe McCombs is the real problem here!

  • Your just now realizing McCombs is a problem?!

  • I'm just now realizing that he is the biggest part of the problem, I always thought it was Mike Tice! If you know nothing about football, don't buy a NFL team! Geez these rich guys have too much time on their hands!
