Re: Vikings sign Gilmore





See, I don't get that take. You'd rather pay 7 million, and he played poorly enough to not earn incentives? Explain it to me. :)

I want him to play great and earn every incentive, but I want the contract designed so were less likely to have to pay the extra 3 Million. For example I prefer ...

Re: Vikings sign Gilmore





When you are not considered a contender, getting a non-stiff vet FA towards the end of their career to sign is difficult - they'd love to go out with a winner. So the bolded above was more directed towards we are lucky we signed the guy rather than why sign the guy in the first place.

Re: When does McCarthy start?

I also think Sam Darnold will surprise some people, so I believe it will be next season.

I'll just say... 100 million guaranteed. If he's upset, he'll wipe his tears away with that money..

Re: Draft Day Discussion


I'll get laughed off the board...but are there any decent looking place kickers to be had in this draft? Joseph is gone. I'd like to have a kicker that's consistent from 45 yards & in & doesn't miss multiple PATs during the course of the season.


For the Vikings? I don't think it's possible to ...

Re: Draft Day Discussion




People ragging on Kwesi for this need to just stop. There was a ton of speculation that the Vikings would trade away 11, 23 and a first next year to take McCarthy at either 4 or 5. To get him at 10 and keep 23? That's good work.


Agreed, I like it.


Yes, me too. We honestly didn't give up ...

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.

I've wondered the same thing at ...

I agree, the team sure seems to be bitten by the injury bug this year.

NO!!! You have to pick us to lose every game and give up 30 or more points every game.

Re: Vikings at Bears



The Vikings defense politely said "Shove It" to your prediction. :govikes: :lol:


I wasn't able to watch the game, but the stat line looked pretty ugly (and not in favor of the Vikings):

First downs
- Bears 18
- Vikings 12

Total plays
- Bears 65
- Vikings 55

Total yards
- Bears 275 ...
