On Tuesday morning, inspired by another wholly uninspiring performance from the Vikings offense, I created my second favorite Vikings-related diagram ever: the 2018 Vikings Blame Cycle.
Of course it became outdated just 30 minutes later thanks to John DeFilippo getting the heave-ho, but the underlying sentiment remains intact. Most of the feedback I received for the diagram fell into one of two camps:
- Many compartments of the Blame Cycle are simultaneously true.
- I definitely should have included something about kicking and/or Mike Priefer in there.
For the past couple weeks, Vikings fans have seemed less interested in what is going wrong and more focused on who to blame for why it’s going wrong.
