Zygi Still Believes

Zygi Wilf spoke to the Star-Trib’s Sid Hartman about the 0-2 start.  The Vikings owner expressed frustration but says he thinks the team still has a chance to achieve great things:

They were certainly two tough losses, but the team that we put together, I think, showed what great potential we have.

The defense played a hell of a game [against the Colts] and the offense is running the ball, being able to do the things we want to do.  You can’t keep on putting field goals up against a guy like Peyton Manning. He’s just too good a quarterback. But we had it, and we blew it, but we have a big game [Sunday]. And I think right now we’ll be able to step up. … I just think we have to really make sure that we get plays executed. It’s a team effort, and I’m very proud in the way they’ve played.

Zygi is also right out there serving up the old “Giants started 0-2 last year” Kool Aid to whoever wants a sip:

I look back to last year and how the Giants came back from an 0-2 start, got things working well and went on to win the championship. I know this team has the potential to do that. So I don’t think anyone can fault us for not having the heart and the ability to be able to win the games. It’s just going to have to come our way, and we’re just going to have to change the momentum starting this week.

Maybe Zygi could drop in on some tailgaters again.  Whip up some more enthusiasm:
