Zim's defense always thrived on the mediocre and bottom feeder teams. That's one reason why he won many games. That game against the Lions when we sacked Stafford 10 times and beat him to a pulp is a great example. That was the good old Lions. Now they have one of the top OLs so it's a different st...

One could argue that it did happen to the Vikings that same year Nick Foles sold his soul to the devil to have the playoff performance he ended up having. Case Keenum was a little-regarded journeyman 3rd-string QB who ended up being thrust into the starting role and had an incredible year leading t...

Reports coming out now have Kirk making peace with the selection of Penix by the Falcoms. Kirk Cousins insists he isn\'t angry with the Atlanta Falcons for drafting Michael Penix, Jr. Cousins was asked on the \'Bussin\' with the Boys\' podcast if there\'s beef between him and the Falcons over the d...

There is zero question that the Vikings preferred JJ to Nix evidenced by trading up to 10 and not risking somebody else doing it. I'm going to play a little Devils Advocate. For those who are less than thrilled with McCarthy and the decision to trade a 4th round pick plus a 5th for 6th swap to move...

Here is the position-by-position list of 45 total players (alphabetical order by last name): Quarterbacks (2) J.J. McCarthy, Michigan (2024 first-round pick) Parker McKinney, Eastern Kentucky (invited as rookie tryout) Running backs (2) Jermaine Brown, UAB (invited as rookie tryout) DeWayne McBride...

Green Bay could go backwards. But they are young and did improve as the year progressed so it don't point towards that. They let Jones go and signed the younger Jacobs. He had 1600 yards 2 years ago and was an all pro. A guy I forgot was D.J. Wonnum he had 8 sacks for us and he's gone also. I'm not...

The only playoff win he ever had it was a road dog win and as usual Zim's D didn't feel like playing . That's only one example and there are others. After watching us pass on Rodgers twice during that draft and drafting nothing I think the Falcons made a smart move. If he was the top player on thei...

The entire thing is the very definition of irony. Look, I feel bad about what happened to him last year. He was playing elite football, and the Achilles injury was the kind of thing you don’t wish on your worst enemy. But I don’t feel one bit sorry for Kirk overall. He’s had a long career in the NF...

I’m over Kirk. Maybe its just me, but it was a pretty easy breakup. I thought KAM would cut ties with Kirk and start looking for his franchise QB when he first took the GM job with the Vikings. That was when there was a natural break in the contract situation IIRC and would have been the best time ...

I'm not really sure what Kirk's feelings are. Atlanta seems like an ideal fit especially considering his wife is from there. The odds makers seem to favor Atl more than us to make the playoffs. I will assume divisional competition plays into that. Many here write off the Packers but they do have so...

Atlanta GM said they drafted Penix to make sure they were stable at the most important position. They are set for 5 years. Yes drafting a D player should help but if Kirk goes down the season would be over. Now they have 1 of the 6 superstars to plug in. QBs are to valuable to say no thanks. Any pl...

Here's KOC breaking down JJ. In the first minute he says JJ was a player I identified as a QBOTF to build around. Yeah he probably preferred Maye, but I believe he is not lying and he's thrilled to have JJ. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73RiZnqJe0Y&t=21s There's nothing wrong with JJM. I thin...

I was thinking a comparison is Micah Parsons, hopefully? About the same size and same position. BTW, position now informally known as edge rusher, seems relatively new to call a player that, not an official designation, any of you football scholars know when that came along? I did some research and...
