Re: Browns @ Vikings post game
Yea, but they gave up 180+ on the ground, and 30+ on a key draw play. Unexcusable on a pro team. Yeah but it is weird because I thought the run defense is going to be their strength but I guess not Especially relevant in this game where you allocated free agent money to stopping the run vs. oline. ...

Re: Vikings/Broncos
This has been one of my huge frustrations as well. The US had the worst situation in the world for a long time essentially because of political posturing and a refusal to take a health pandemic seriously. Being the richest country in the world, we were able to throw money at our problems to make th...

Re: Vikings/Broncos
I do find it a bit eye opening that those defending Mond have been respectful and open minded- while those attacking him ( and his defenders) have been rude, disrespectful, and obscene . I think a lot of people are just sick and tired that a fairly large percentage of the population is actively per...

Re: Vikings QB Kellen Mond test positive for COVID; three QBs including Kirk Cousins expected to miss practice
These analogies miss on one key difference with vaccines, which is your choice impedes on the freedom of others. If you choose not to play for whatever reason, that directly impacts you and the team. When you choose not to get vaccinated, you potentially impact children, the immunocompromised, and ...

Re: Vikings trade for Guard Mason Cole
Well Forrest Lamp signed with the Bills so I have no idea what their plans are for their O-line. Looks like scrapheap (even more than Lamp) free agents after the draft and praying they get someone who can start Day 1 in the draft. O-line hasn't been an issue for years (especially interior), so why t...

Re: The Zimmer Principle
This thread is absolutely spot on and what makes me most apathetic about being a Vikings fan for the rest of the Zimmer era. While he shows flashes of flexibility and adjustment in his defensive philosophies at times, the last few years have been glaringly clear on what Zimmer's philosophy is, to t...

Re: Vikings Sign Patrick Peterson
I'd agree. Great player in the past and sounds like it will most likely be 9 million with earning a possible extra 1 million if he's an All Pro (which I am pessimistic about). I'd agree with some folks that it's great to get a veteran in the cornerback room but for 9 million? Especially for a playe...

Re: Vikings Sign Patrick Peterson
I don't really care for the signing. Yes he had a great career but he's been on the decline 2 straight years. He had a 55 grade from PFF. 10 million isn't chump change. That's a big hit no matter how it's sliced. Obviously they have a vision for him and it goes beyond the stuff I can see. A much lo...

Re: 4th Quarter Cousins
I’d be interested to see how much that stat changed if they adjusted for garbage time. C’mon Mike, he took a beating today. The O line took a major step backwards today. He played his guts out and overcame all the setbacks, fumbles, missed pat’s, usual predictable play calling. And to have a head c...

Re: Vikings in full tank mode - trade Ngakoue
I wasn't a fan of this trade from the get go because I think most of us outside of the building were looking at this as a rebuilding year where there wasn't going to be serious contention. To trade for a guy who clearly was looking to get paid who was only under contract for a year with a pretty dic...

Re: Vikes/Seahawks post-game thoughts
It seems more and more like we either have Zimmer family members on the forum or people on the Vikings salary to stick up for Zim this much over and over and over again. If he was fired tomorrow I wouldn't lose sleep over it. I think he has run his course as our HC, I just am calling a spade a spad...
