Re: 2024 Free Agents

Expect this year's 1st round selection to be the last 1st round selection the vikings will have until 2027 or 2028. I wish that were true but I don't think so. Not because they won't try, but because they won't have a partner. Bears probably wouldn't trade to the Vikings to begin with. Commanders s...

Re: KOC talks about Chandler and Lions

Chandler has obviously been the best runner on the team. This was evident in the preseason. I can belive he had to catch up on pass protection, but Mattison has always and obviously been a borderline NFL rb. You could sign 12 guys off the street who could match his production.

Re: Vikings at Raiders

Probably this is the high water mark season for KOC and Kwesi in terms of fielding a team with a chance to compete. The Vikings leadership feels like amateur hour, but I'm always inclined to continuity until it's clear the wheels have fallen off the wagon, so I would bring them back, bring back Kirk...

Re: Vikings at Bengals

If they will commit to running the ball with Ty Chandler the vikings will be a dangerous team if they can make the playoffs. They won't be an easy out for anybody. Flores defense is not going to be the kind that grinds everything to a halt. It's a bunch of misfit toys causing offenses to react and m...

Re: Vikings at Raiders

His lawsuit won't help him get a HC job, but many great coordinators are not great head coaches and Flores is probably one of them.

Finishing out the season without Kirk, vikings really need to get run game going to compliment the defense they have built with Flores.

Re: What now? A golf analogy

The Vikings are the 3rd worst team in TO differential at -8, it almost makes the rest of the stats not even matter. If they were -2 or better they'd be in the talk for winning the NFC right now. This is the reason they have the record they have more than any other factor IMHO, including losing both...

Re: What now? A golf analogy

RE: Can the Vikings win the super bowl? I think they can, but I think the odds are slim. Before Kirk went down they had a very decent chance of winning the NFC, I think. Someone pointed to the 49ers and Eagles being the class of the NFC. They beat the 49ers without Jefferson. They only lost to the ...

Re: Kirk Cousins Achillies

Time to get the running game going. Bench Mattison, roll with Chandler and Akers (especially Chandler). Maybe Mattison can find some snaps late in the game on toss plays when the defense is tired, otherwise he's a bubble NFL player, and wouldn't make the team for most NFL squads.

Re: Vikings at Panthers

I think you are going a little bit by the outcome rather than the process and the product, which I understand, but which I ultimately reject as an invalid way of assessing until you get to a much larger sample size. This team looks better than last year's team. By better I mean, closer to really be...

Re: Vikings vs 49ers

Fun game. Still say this team is significantly better than last year's. They play a style that actually has a chance, especially as they start to adapt to it. Be nice if they could run the ball a little, but they couldn't do that last year when it mattered either. In the end yeah the running game d...

Re: Vikings vs 49ers

Very enjoyable win. So satisfying. After sleeping a little...the first thing on my mind about the game was an ugly play. In one of the last two drives (iirc it was the one with fg attempt), Kirk was about to mauled, slide up in the pocket, somehow didn't get sacked even with multiple lineman (their...

Re: Vikings vs 49ers

Bynum politely tells you to take your prediction and shove it. :point: :govikes: This is what happens when you stick to an old narrative and refuse to acknowledge that players can improve and change. Cam Bynum has been our best DB all season long. If you’ve watched the games analytically, rather th...
