Best Tweets: Week 1 - Vikings Loss to Buccaneers

I was in at least 3 people’s Myspace Top 8. I have as many NBA Championships as Tom Brady. I’m probably too old to be here. @NickLewis37

Best Tweets: Week 1 – Vikings Loss to Buccaneers

Are you kidding me with this? The Vikings lost to a TOM-BRADY-LESS TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS? HOW? WHAT THE HELL, MAN. This is awful. This is brutal. This is the worst. Don’t worry, though… at least Aaron Rodgers left the Packers, so they’ll suck, right? RIGHT? OH GOD, NOOOOOOO! But as disappointing as the game itself was, Twitter was great fun! Wait a second; it’s not Twitter anymore. That means these aren’t the best Tweets; they’re the best, uhhh, Xs? Vikings Twitter is dead, and now it’s VikingsX? You know what? No. I’m still calling them Tweets. Let’s get on with the show.

Our Kirk was ready.

JJ and PA looked ready to roll.

Opening day for Our Beloved @Vikings, so had to snap one with the best. “HEEE’S JJ!” @JJettas2, and he’s ours. Tear it up, Justin! #Skol pic.twitter.com/IWBUsyogOb

Even the home bar scenes were on fire.

We were all loving things early, especially the uniforms.

The Vikings uniforms today should be permanent. They are so beautiful.

Then Addison scored a TD, and everything was looking SWELL!

We're so back. #SKOL pic.twitter.com/PDcQNSXhjM

Buuuuuut that didn’t last very long.

Vikings are honoring the classic look by outgaining their opponent by a ton and finding a way to lose
— Luke Braun (@LukeBraunNFL) September 10, 2023

And I mean, the Vikings looked like they could have been beating the Bucs 28-3, right?

We assumed it would be like last year. Phase 2 and we’ll figure it out.

We have entered phase 2. Goodluck Viking fans. pic.twitter.com/FLo7VDQZoP

But things didn’t get better.

Do we start drinking now?

Actually, they got worse.

Why is every single Vikings game exhausting?? #skol
— Wags10k (@Wags10k) September 10, 2023

And then they got even worse.

Your Netflix star was outplayed in the second half by Baker bleeping Mayfield…

OVERREACTION, LETS GOOOO!

Let’s hear your week 1 #Vikings overreaction! ⬇️

I think the Vikings should move on from all offensive lineman not named Darrisaw. #skol

And there’s no better overraction evaluator than the Vikings Twitter Overraction Chart!

I built the Vikings Twitter Overreaction Chart.
The loss sucked but the team does not. Although some things need to be cleaned up to enter playoff contention, a handful of fluky plays shouldn't put you in tank mode. #SKOL pic.twitter.com/qotIaqvqN4

This can’t be happening again, can it?

The Packers being good again might be the end of me liking football. I’m just over it.

CAN IT?!?!?!

And sure, there’s always a little bit of perspective.

Vikings fans gotta chill. KC lost to the Colts last year and still won the Super Bowl. It's just one game the first week of the season. Chill 😎 #Skol
— JoeyBoatwater (@JBoatwater) September 10, 2023

BUT ALSO WHAT THE HELL. THIS IS BAD.

Vikings have lost to Daniel Jones and Baker Mayfield at home in their last two games.

The new regime’s honeymoon is official over.

GIVE ME ALL THE LUNG DARTS.

It wasn’t even JUST the Vikings that sucked yesterday. It was ALL OF MINNESOTA. WE HAVE NOTHING. NOTHING!

But things could always be worse.

My son just told me, "I don't know if you looked at the bright side today, but at least the Vikings didn't lose to the Packers."

And just remember, there are always ways to make losses manageable.

The best way I know how to get over a Vikings loss is a @cultivated_cbd cranberry lemonade. pic.twitter.com/femG57DlRP

Celebrating shots after a Vikings win is fun–but sometimes you need something to soothe your sorrows after you’ve been guzzling boozy drinks during the entire game. The new Cultivated CBD THC beverages are an amazing way to do that! Try them out here: https://cultivatedcbd.com/thc-beverage/

And I’m sure they’re wonderful after a Vikings win as well. I just have no proof yet.
