Re: Kevin O'Connell will be next Vikings coach

Even with Bill Bellicheck this team was not going to compete for a SB next season, so getting worst in 2022 is worth it if it means getting much better in 2023. I couldnt disagree more. Even with Harbaugh we would have to have hope. Anyone coming into a new situation is a gamble. So why be grumpy a...

Re: Kevin O'Connell will be next Vikings coach

Even when it is bad, it isn't that bad. But it hasn't ever been good enough, either. The phrase, "the football people running the show know more than we do." Sure. They do. That doesn't mean they know how to make GOOD decisions. Since the Wilfs have owned the Vikings, the team has only ha...

Re: Coaching search 2022 - Confirmed Interviews and Speculation

Seems like KAM sliced this one out of bounds. I’m willing to give him a mulligan, but let’s hope he doesn’t need another. KAM sliced it out of bounds, or the Wilfs did? This is why I argued that the owners should hire the GM and then the GM should hire his coach. Why the Wilfs feel they need any in...

Re: Kevin O'Connell will be next Vikings coach

I have not posted in quite sometime, but I needed to come out of retirement to vent. I think I have finally reached my breaking point supporting this team. You have Jim Harbaugh in the building for 9 hours and you decide, "nope, Kevin O'Connell is better." How can anyone with some level of...

Re: Bears game Dec. 20

Imagine having Mitchel Trubisky and Matt Nagy consistently out-coach and destroy your defense year-in and year-out.

What a pathetic franchise. 1-5 against Matt Nagy. 1-5. The Bears were dead and we gave them life.

Re: Tell me again how Zimmer is a great coach?

I am done with Mike Zimmer. I have been done with Spielman since 2013. This team will never win anything significant with these idiots running the show. I am tired of it. 2020 is just another wasted year in the soon-to-be 60 years of this pathetic franchise. Super Bowl isn't coming with this current...

Re: Vikings Week 2: Good, Bad, and the Ugly

The Good: Nada

The Bad: Tackling, covering the flat, run blocking.

The Ugly: Back-to-back safeties, play calling, Cousins, TOP, defensive performance.

Gonna be a long year. Probably going to have at least 10 of these types of threads this year on the board.

Re: Pathetic

I should have turned this game off at half-time like I did last week. It's time to blow this team up. Unfortunately, the team will be in cap hell. I bet we will finish just 'good enough' to be out of contention for a franchise altering pick. That second round pick we blew on Yannick looks like a com...

Re: The Draft Man Crush Thread

Here is who I would like the Vikings to consider (realistically) drafting in the upcoming draft. I have to investigate a lot of these players a bit more personally, but I believe most everyone listed would easily fit the offensive and defensive systems we want to incorporate: - Andrew Thomas, OT, Ge...

Re: Civility

Thanks for the thread Jim. Just my two cents, but a huge reason I hardly post anymore on this board is because of the constant in-fighting and, for lack of a better term, 'pissing matches.' It just got old, and I got jaded. It is sad, because I have been a member for nearly 14 years now. It is not a...

Re: Edwards out as Defensive Coordinator

I literally just got done examining the staff shake-up in another thread and this happens :lol: I feel Edwards not really got a chance to do anything here. I remember his defensive game in 2016 against Dallas was actually very good. We lost that game because of Thelien's fumble more than the defense...

Re: Moves the Vikings should make for 2020

Long-time fans (30+ years) correct me if I am wrong, but I can't remember heading into an offseason where everything seems so up in the air and fragile. Is this team close to re-contending? Is this a team near the end of its contending opportunity? Or is this team simply good enough to be 'pretender...

Re: Vikings Roster Review

I suspect there will some tenured players that won't make the roster next season. Personally, I think it is time for players like Rhodes, Joesph, Reiff, and Stephen to go. Everson probably will go if can't be dramatically restructured. It won't happen but I want Pat Elflein off the team - good ridda...

Re: Browns plan to hire Stefanski

This move doesn't faze me. Good luck to Stefanski, but I don't think this is a huge loss. The offense was great at periods this year. However, during the big-time games? The offense was confusing to downright awful. Case in point: Green Bay MNF, San Fransisco yesterday. Now the question becomes: Gar...

Re: 49ers Post Game

We lost to the better team. We showed up unprepared and got destroyed. No point in getting upset about it. We outperformed our expectations by beating New Orleans. Let's be honest, the team we have seen all season showed up yesterday - good against the teams they should beat; bad against the teams t...
