Re: Jared Allen May Be Traded "for the right price"

I don't get why some people are acting like we KNOW that teams xyz offered us a 2nd and 4th or something and our GM just didn't feel like it More than likely they offered a 3rd round at best. And our FO decided it wasn't worth it for some reason. Of all the things to be angry about this is one of th...

Re: Fix the offense

Pull Musgrave aside and explain to him that both his and my future w/ the franchise is hovering between 0 and 2% probability for next season. We need to see changes ASAP. Look at the tape! Carlson needs to sit. Patterson needs to see the field. Run three WR sets. Forget about lateral passes at the ...

Would you rather see?

In the Draft would you rather see the Vikings go after a solid QB option or maybe three other players that could contribute right away. Say a LB a CB and a SS. Or something in that vein. Personally I want a QB. That could change based on whether or not Freeman "settles down" and fixes the ...

I agree but we don't have 3 solid linebackers... Much less 4

Re: No changes coming from wilf

I like WHO Spielman Targets. I like his general approach but I do have to agree he really doesn't seem to hit much beyond sure things my grandmother could have called. I don't have a problem with him personally but I feel like what makes a championship team is the ability to find good solid talent i...

Re: Fran Tarkenton: Vikings auditioning Josh Freeman? Embarr

But its not one game. He has been in the league for a number of years.


To me the inability to hit wide open receivers in a game situation speaks to a much more serious mechancial issue a la tim tebow that may very well be un fixable at this point.

Re: Packers @ Vikings Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 8

Why do people want to keep acting as if Gerhart ain't a good running back :confused: Because he is. He just has the unfortunate situation of being compared to AD, potentially the GOAT, every game. He has moved enough piles, run over enough people, etc to make me believe he could be a solid power ru...

Re: With the First pick of the 2014 NFL Draft...

I think Bridgewater is a classic example of the college hype draft machine. There MUST be one elite draft option a year. Luck was the only time in recent memory that was correct, but everyone and their grandmother knew that. He doesn't play high quality opponents he isn't consistently great. He has ...

Re: Christian Ponder or Tavarius Jackson

Ponder no contest.

I remember T-Jack having about 1-2 passes a season where I was impressed.


Ponder, while not good by any margin is probably closer to 1 pass every other game that I find impressive.

Re: To address the idea of Favre coming back

What was so bizarre about it? Favre asked Moss if he wanted to catch it, Moss said put the bread in the basket and that was about it. He is probably referencing the fact that favre wanted moss out of college. Didn't get him, had to watch him play for a rival, then was traded out of the NFCN. Then s...

Re: Longtime fan who vowed to not shave beard until Vikings

I can imagine it will be nice but as this story demonstrates you could wait the rest of your life and not see it. He wasn't much older than me when the vikings started up here and he never got to see them win. I'll give you the odds are probably slightly in favor of us winning at some point. But its...

Re: Disturbing stat

I agree I would love to see a win. But I guess my feeling is, it wont right the ship. It wont fix the problems with Ponder, Cassel, Freeman, Blocking, Passing, Our Secondary, Or Dline. All it will do is make us feel good for a little while. Again I would love it. But lets be honest. Right now a win ...

Re: Disturbing stat

:roll: Oh really? So because our defense is atrocious that means that all QBs who they go against are equal? LOL not how it works my man, Aaron Rodgers is one of the best in the game and I assure you, he is the biggest threat we have faced all season at QB. Also, I dislike any Packer QB as much as ...
