L. Frazier

We will see what kinda coach he is this year haha goin from the easiest schedule last year to the hardest one this year

I read it simmion, but don't e-high five me, it gave me an e-headache.

Didn't Frazier pick our current D coordinator? I think he did a pretty good job with our defense, especially considering it was his first year as a coordinator

easiest schedule? they had one of the hardest schedules left when they needed to win every game

They had one of the easiest schedules because it was based on the 2011 season. The season when the NFC West was a joke, but last season they were laddered like a normal division. Great team in SF, good team in Seattle, St. Louis was average, and the Cards were bad, but still a lot tougher than the schedule let on. Not to mention we played the Redskins, who went from worst to first. The Colts went from #1 pick to the playoffs. The only team we played this season that got worse from 2011 to 2012 is the Lions and maybe the Jags.

Look at it this way. We have the same record as the Bears, Bengals, and Redskins. We pick last in the drat out of all those teams because of our strength of schedule. The more difficult your S.o.S. is, the lower you rank because if it is easier, you were playing worse teams, which means you're probably worse than those playing better teams and losing.

go look at the S.o.S. as it is tabulated for the draft. We had the 8th highest.

Personally I think strength of schedule gets a little iffy for a true picture as  has each divison plays different divisions and certain teams are much, much better at home then on the road so really depends on the draw...it's more about match ups IMO. I think last years schedule outside of our division was probably the best match up we could have had for how the Vikings are built......If you look at the teams we played they weren't top end passing teams as some like to call them which we have had struggles with in the past and alot of rookie QB's too.

As far as match ups go...we match up alot better against the NFC west then we do against the NFC east ...we are going to have to put up alot more points against the Cowboys, Giants, Eagles and the Skins and than the west teams...We also played the 49ers pre Kaepernic too. Same goes for the AFC south and the AFC north......Luck was a rookie, Gabbert..second year and struggling, Locker and then Schaub......Now we get Flacco, Ben, Dalton which all have solid recieving weapons too and a Browns team that is improving. So again the match ups on the defensive side of things for us will be alot tougher and we will need to put up alot more points than last year. Add in the Steelers being over seas for one of our home games and playing in probably the toughest place to play in Seattle for an away game and I think it's going to alot tougher.

This is one of the reason I'm glad Frazier was just given a 1 year extention......I don't think Ponder can have another season like this years and the team expect to win anywhere close to 10 games even with AD. Hopefully we add a few deep threats and Ponder plays lights out but, if he doesn't I want to see what plan and how Frazier handles things.

Oven ur 100% right

Iven* and hutch your both 100% right. But what has Frazier done???? That Percy hasn't!! It's bullshi*

It's just timing MaryJane.....Harvins situation is obviously alot more complicated. Frazier was getting and extention or new contract either way.....the 2 IMO have nothing to do with each other.

I know it's more complicated but in my opinion it our number1 priority. Your best player on ur team and also at your weakest position on the field I don't understand y u wouldn't give him a deal makes no since. He's 24 and ur gonna let him get away!! Pisses me off

I agree with you MaryJane ....but who is to say things are not being negotiate right now. When neither side is saying anything IMO it says they are either working on a new deal with him OR if Harvin doesn't want to be a Viking, they are discussing trade partners/options with his agent. Either way the silence on both sides IMO is saying things are in the works one way or another.

Because he said he's gonna hold out.. But I don't know I hope your right

Holding out gets you no where......The rules have changed and they all favour the team.Personally I'd be surprized if we hear anything until mid march .....just my opinion.

Sucks that a mistake they made in giving an unlikable duchebag like Childress a contract extension that backfired has come back to screw over good guy Leslie Frazier. Typical of life, nice guys finish last (while double murderers ride of into the sunset in a blaze of glory).

I'm not sure how Frazier gets screwed over. He gets 2 more years to prove that he can coach (unless everything blows up again) and if he can he will get another extension.

 you talking about the loser oj I kill you simpson

 they didnt make a mistake they simply picked up his 4 year option. he isnt that good of a coach and it was the right thing to do .  but he isnt why they got to the playoffs. AP drove the whole team there himself.

Along with the d

I think the Vikes did the right thing by picking up the option on the last year.

If he can guide us to the PO's again and get us deep into the post season and maybe to the SB, then we should give him a longer term contract.

The Viked didn't want to make the same mistake they made with Chilly.

All they are doing is checking whether or not last season was a fluke. I think if Frazier gets to just .500 next year they will give him the extension. And remember, Frazier isn't roped to Ponder's success, Speilman is. Ponder was Speilman's pick. Now, Frazier must not pull a chilly and hesitate on pulling the plug if things get ugly.
