Re: Who Starts?

Cousins already stated that he is going to put a video together to show teams how he is progressing. So my guess he will be going to the highest bidder. He has always been about the money. We’re not going to get a deal would be my guess. We really can’t afford to get into a bidding for Cousins. We ...

Re: Packers at Vikings

Just a really poor performance from the Vikings overall against a Packer team that came ready to play. Darrisaw got owned all night, Ingram again showing zero awareness, lots of unforced errors again, and the defense was just outclassed by a bunch of no-name receivers. Jordan Love is an OK QB. He's...

Re: Jefferson wants Cousins Back

Can the team even afford them both once JJ gets paid? I'm guessing he doesn't want him back badly enough to not reset the market with his upcoming contract lol This is all going to come down to Kirk and his agent. If they prioritize maximizing his earning, then he’s gone. I do not believe the Vikin...

Re: Who Starts?

Here’s my only concern about starting Hall. He has a checkered injury history. He had several injuries at BYU, including at least one concussion, and he lasted two series against the Falcons. It’s not a knock on him, per se. He’s not a big guy. But he’s also a guy who like to run, and he can run. A...

Re: Who Starts?

Heard KOC decided to give Hall the start against the Packers, and while I don't know if Hall is going to be any better than Dobbs or Mullens have been so far, KOC is at least giving himself the chance to properly assess the QB position's future heading into the offseason. Good, forward-looking deci...

Re: Who Starts?

Who was it that said Mullens was a turnover machine and cited 23 career interceptions in 17 career starts? I don’t usually toot my own horn, but this was just too easy to call. He’s now up to 29 picks in 19 starts. He attempted more passes of 20+ yards in this game than any QB in two years. Accordin...

I think we do based on head to head competition. We would have beaten them twice.
At 5-1, we’d also have a much better division record.

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. I’m not sure Flores is the problem here. Yes, he did get soft in...

Re: KOC talks about Chandler and Lions

Chandler really showed his talent against the Bengals. It wasn’t just the explosive runs, of which there were several. It was also that on plays where the line didn’t get it blocked, he didn’t lose yardage. He managed to get back to the LOS or gain a yard or two. If Mattison faces the same thing, he...

Re: What now? A golf analogy

Some good points being brought up...and it made me curious who Dobbs was playing behind at each of his respective teams: 2018-2020 - stuck behind Big Ben 2022 - behind Ryan Tannehill 2023 - emergency QB for Ari and MN This year, in roughly 400 attempts, he is throwing at about a 65% completion rate...

Re: Vikings at Raiders

This just in. It's been reported that Vikings fans have purchased 54% of tickets for the game in Vegas. Not a surprise. Vegas is such a transient city, it makes sense that they haven't yet fully embraced the team as their own. And Vegas is a great destination for Vikings fans who want to get out of ...

Re: What now? A golf analogy

Dobbs is 28, and although he has been with a variety of teams and been in the league for a while, he still has yet to surpass 500 career passing attempts. In fact, until this year, the most attempts he has had in one year is 68. Even though he is a veteran, he still has a lot to prove, and playing ...

Dobbs to start against the Raiders, per vikings.com.

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 k...

Re: What now? A golf analogy

As an aside to this, I wonder why teams that don't have a clear-cut starter don't switch QBs out more in game. Not as a punishment for not playing well but as an actual strategy. QB by committee where you rotate them in based on their strengths for a given play. Probably because it rarely works, ev...
