Re: Vikings at Panthers

Records aside, anybody else think 2023 vikings are better football eam than 2022 vikings? By week 17, this team would beat last year's team, if only because of the defensive passivity. I know this squad has may weaknesses and has played error filled football, but I think they are better than 0-3 an...

Re: Dalvin Cook's Future

I could live with the 3 point shot if they let them play defense again. But like most sports, defense has been diminished almost to the point of being outlawed to make the game 'more exciting'. That people actually find it more exciting is the mystery to me. This is where I disagree. Before the 3-p...

Re: Vikings trade for Akers

It's been quite the strange trip LAR and Akers have been on the past year or so. Last year he was coming off of an achilles injury and had a slow start. He then seemed to have some tension with his coaching staff. Rumors flew about him being traded or benched. Then the Rams record took a nose dive ...

Re: Dalvin Cook's Future

They're two different sports. You also can't tackle in basketball. I guess I don't get why the apple should taste like an orange. They're different sports but basketball is the only significant sport that does the goofy bonus points for distance system. I could live with the 3 point shot if they le...

Re: Vikings listening to trade offers on Hunter

Thanks for your feedback, guys. It's just so frustating that every time they "fix" one problem, two others seem to appear somewhere else. Like when they draft a promising WR to complement Jefferson (and traded for TJ) and you think : "Awesome, now Cousins will have some elite targets...

Re: RIP Legend Joe Kapp

Most on here will never be able to appreciate just how great a football player Joe Kapp was. He was a throwback, a guy who would do anything to help his team win. He would come up to the line of scrimmage, look at all the D-linemen, and yell at them about how he was gonna run them over. And then he...

If anyone is coughing up a second for Cook I'm running to make that deal if I am Kwesi.

Re: Live Draft Chat

In today's NFL, if the offense doesn't mess it up, the defense can't stop them. A great defensive player can shrink the offense's margin for error, but never more than that. As such, outside of pass rushers, defenders are less valuable than even running backs. 75 percent of roster construction is Q...

Re: Live Draft Chat

Ughhhhh..... 4 straight WRs However, we needed someone else to ease the pressure off of JJ and keep Defenses honest. We don't have that and this WR class sucks from here on. In today's NFL, if the offense doesn't mess it up, the defense can't stop them. A great defensive player can shrink the offen...

Patrick Mahomes has no Honor

Does it bother anyone else the way pretty much all athletes today flop and sell and game the system? Mahomes is not particularly dishonorable...no more than any other modern athlete, but nonetheless as a neutral who only saw the end of the game, I found his selling of the unnecessary roughing call a...

Re: Game day comments: giants/vikings

Paper tigers. This team couldn't be counted on to get the crucial 3 yards or stop the opposition from getting the crucial three yards. That kind of team usually doesn't do much better than .500 By the end of the regular season, pretty clear that records aside the vikings were the third best team in ...

Re: Vikings @ Bills post game

I can honestly say, if you're "not sold" on this team after that win, spare us and take a break from the board. You really are a schmuck. I have barely been active on the board at all, as I haven't been able to watch the games. Show up to see what folks have to say about a fun game, share...
