Re: Who Starts?

J Kapp is spot on......keeping Cousins is just a guarantee that this team will continue to go nowhere for years. The only way forward is to dump his bloated contract, open up cap space, draft/trade intelligently to build a foundation of young quality players on the front lines and secondary that you...

Re: Packers at Vikings

Well that was the perfect end of the season for this bottom feeder team. No more smoke and mirrors fooling fans into delusions of hope for glory. The DL created some pressure to hide the fact that we have no secondary for the first half of the season but no more. The OL is the same epic failure that...

Re: Lions at Vikings

For over a decade- really since the Wilfs took over, I have felt like a broken record. Ownership and the goofs they have hired to run football operations have NEVER shown a shred of competence regarding the development of the front lines. They either ignore the need for an OL/DL or draft busts and k...

Re: Lions at Vikings

The Lion will obliterate us in both games we play with them. Their HC is twice the HC of KO. Didnt some of you want him for COTY :lol: Lioms are still in the hunt for home field advantage and are happy AF they have the Vikings to play 2 times. The Vikings need new ownership before anything will real...

Re: Vikings at Raiders

Re: Vikings at Bengals

I should be more clear….a pocket passer will get nowhere …..in MN . It has been decades since this organization has prioritized and competently drafted an excellent Ol. It pitiful how far back we need to look until we last had a pro bowl ranked OL. So, no, a pocket passer will never succeed in MN

Re: Good article on Flores defense

All his good ideas fly out the window in the 4th quarter when he has to protect the lead and he goes all conservative and simple minded. He HAS to change his ways or this will just continue when the game is on the line and we blow it.

Re: Vikings at Bengals

I agree. I think the Wilfs are still buying into the Kirk Cousins wagon. We already over paid once for him and failed. I think they are going to reup his contract. The rest of the league has always known he is flawed, a pure pocket passer that will never get you to a championship, so there isnt like...

Re: Vikings at Bengals

Its become clear in the last 3 losses that Flores/KOC are 4th quarter cowards. They keep retreating into a prevent shell when they are nursing a lead. Its idiocy. We dont have the front line to pressure the opponent with a straight pass rush. Thats why Flores has had success this year blitzing more ...

Re: Vikings at Raiders

How can anyone be surprised that Dobbs imploded? He has failed to succeed with every team that gave him a chance, and its a long list. As far as. Our DC, I like a lot of what he has done but he gets way too conservative in the 4th quarter. He needs a bit more fortitude.

Re: What now? A golf analogy

Come on, be honest, you KNOW this current team has zero chance of winning the SB. Just like you, I have been supporting this team 50 yrs. I have seen super bowl contenders come and go, and this team is no where near being one. If top tier talent like JJ chose to stay in MN its is not because they kn...

Re: What now? A golf analogy

Making the playoffs really isnt so important given that even if we do squeak in, we have almost no chance of making to the Super Bowl. The really important question is , Do we have a quarterback for the future? That is what the remainder of the season needs to teach the front office. Dobbs is never ...

Re: Bears at Vikings MNF

ehh I never felt we were on track for a super bowl this year. We were still working with a pure pocket passer and NO pocket due to over a decade of neglecting the OL and whiffing when we did draft for the OL. The secondary had obvious weakness that werent addressed either. I DID feel that we had imp...

Re: Bears at Vikings MNF

well, that was disgusting and "We are who I thought we were" . After 50 years of being a fan, I am hard pressed to think of a more embarrassing performance by my team. Against a laughably bad opponent that the rest of the league has used as a punching bag all year(s), we failed at all leve...
