I've got it, figured out the answer to how we get an NFL season in 2020. Vexed me for awhile, but got it. We know there won't be a vaccine by September, and with one coming in early 2021 there will be no point to issuing "immunity passports" which was a dumb idea to begin with. So how to p...

They need to invest heavily into the oline this off-season. If they don't get it after this year they never will. Dalvin "Deep" Cook did not look bad this year, in fact he looked like an NFL starter on a good team. Just, on so many plays his lanes were folding 1.2 seconds faster than he n...

Been saying this for years, said it after last season, the way to build a year-on-year NFL team is to build the offensive line. Every season, if you are lucky/rich enough to own an NFL team, your first draft pick has to be a O-Lineman. Hey, i got suckered into thinking Herschel Walker was the single...

NBC's Scott Bair says Vikes are "maybe the best in the NFC" also "most complete" team. Yet he ranks them #3. What was the thing Rodney Dangerfield always used to say?

While I agree that we should not draft a QB (unless someone falls like Rodgers or Teddy did), I disagree with your use of Eli. While he wasn't technically drafted by the Giants, he essentially was. The Giants drafted Rivers and then traded the Chargers for Eli 10 minutes later. Eli didn't even put ...

Outperformed, and it was because of solid cores on both sides of the ball. What does 2018 look like from here? Opening lines are out for '18 over/under team wins, and the Vikes are tied-5th, 9.5 wins but a stronger upside than other 9.5-ers. What we know now, is that we'll still have a great defense...

I hate New England. Seeing Minny win it would be way better. Yeah, gakk, this is tough to say, but when the Jackers won the SB i was at least glad that it was our North. Eww, that still tastes like oil in my mouth, but next year you get Aaron back and we'll make this a proper contest for the soul o...

We could lose, but this squad is too good for that kind of loss. More and more, it's looking like the Vikings will go up by 10 and then reap the rewards a panicky PHI offense deals out. It's a runaway, 37 to 16, going from 9 to 16 in the final garbage minutes. Eagles will try to strike deep on a co...

Seems like our DEF relies more on technical skill than speed, witness Xavier being off-WR on Kamara's TD, yet forcing a Saints 4th with precision.

Not looking past the Iggles and that bowlgame thing which happens in 14 days. But have to be pragmatic. Because i'm a Vikings fan, you know what it's like. We might take the Lombo this year, we really could. But if we don't, you know, it could be worse. Whatever the outcome this title tilt, it's bee...

Then there is a broader group who could become the next generation of elite QBs, Wilson, Stafford, Garopollo, Watson, Cousins, Carr, Newton, Ryan, Winston, etc. Case Keenum will undoubtedly be revealed over time to be better than a good swath of this list. Its a list based in large part on potentia...

Excellent post. No less we get Dalvin back next year with an already good stable of RBs in place. We have the WRs already. Honestly, on offense, I'd like to look for a guard, maybe 2, a TE because Rudy is starting to get up there and a young QB Exactly right. I'd spend picks 1 & 2 on OL, 3rd ro...

Grew to the age of football-awareness in California, liked the Raiders as bad boys and the Rams as a class act, Dad's a Redskins fan, no idea why. But it's the basic story of adolescence and sports greatness. In those days the top franchises were the Vikings and the Steelers, one or both on TV every...

Consistency. That's what Case Keenum gives you, stability and competence. We've had QBs with brilliance in short bursts, or ones with a certain situational advantage. Daunte was a mobile mountain making the short running game still an option with an empty backfield. Cunningham was a gazelle-legged s...

Wow, Buffalo finally won a playoff game!
