I know. I was one of the few who saw the glass half full when we picked him up, namely because he has the physical attributes needed for the style of offense we run, not to mention the experience. The post was mildly sarcastic.S197 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 25, 2019 6:47 pmKlein has quietly been a pretty solid pick up. Especially considering his cost and our cap constraints. If I had to pick, I'd actually say Elflein looks like the weakest link.J. Kapp 11 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 25, 2019 6:43 pm
So now Josh Kline is the key to keeping Cousins alive?
That wasn't the tune people were singing when we acquired Kline.
We're gonna be fine. The Bears are a 2.5-point favorite, which is less than the typical 3 points a team gets for home field. The Bears are going to have their hands full with us.

Here is a list that will kill your appetite for dinner......the Vikes QBs since 2012 under the glorious leadership of Herr Spielman:
Ponder
Cassel
Freeman
Bradford
Bridgewater
Hill
Cousins
What an impotent, boring, depressing list of failure and second class talent.
We all deserve a lot better then this
An even more depressing list is the OL choices Spielman has made!

Been seeing some Diggs to NE rumors today. Diggs tweeted something cryptic. Not good.

OMG.......a Fire-sale trade?!? I guess at least its an honest move...Spielman admitting he built a team going nowhere fast. BUT, he is so incompetent I foresee us giving up a top tier receiver for a warm pile of manure.....no way this management outmaneuvers an elite organization like the Pats.......

Harris missed due to leg injury.

They would be foolish to trade him.

@RapSheet
On #Vikings WR Stefon Diggs: His frustration with the organization has been palpable. He was not at practice yesterday for non-injury reasons. Teammates are left wondering if he wants to be there. The team is adamant he is not available for a trade, barring some massive deal.

Diggs today: "Right now, as to whether I'll be here or not, it's whether they want me here."
Um...yes?

Re: 2019 Season General Thread (News, Notes, Interviews, etc)
This whole juvenile soap opera speaks volumes about how Zim has lost control of the team. Coaching has been poor, organizational unity is obviously not there at all, ownership has been invisible for a few years now.....smug and happy to have their new stadium. Where is the commitment to excellence? Where is the unified front and professionalism? The team is a comedy of errors.
