BTW, just who are they supposed to replace Cousins with? Draft. Should be a priority in the draft, right below OL. Maybe next year will be like the Ravens this year, bench the struggling overpaid starter for a rookie. That is why the Vikings are screwed for the next couple of years. IMO, even with ...

Kirk cousins is 4 - 24 vs teams with a winning record for a whopping winning percentage of. 167. Has he played great against good teams and lost, sure. Has he played bad against bad teams and won, I'm sure he has. Cousins has all the talent in the world, but for whatever reason shrinks when it matte...

Wow, I thought he'd make it until the end of the season but apparently, that sorry performance yesterday was enough. Zimmer's rapidly moving into Lovie Smith territory with OCs. He's now moving on to his 4th in 5 years. Bad sign. I agree but I am glad it happened. What a debacle. In fairness, we wo...

Kirk cousins has never won more than 9 games in a season and may not win more than 9 games this season. For all the "statistical" hype around him, he sure doesn't do a lot of winning, even when he does have a good offensive line.

Vikings RBs have been met in the backfield on a ridiculous 43.6% of rushing attempts. I don't have the pressure rates, but we have to be in the bottom 5. We had the highest pressure rate of all week 11 teams. This has been a reoccurring theme. I don't care who you are, that's a major liability for ...

But Hill and Oneil wouldn't be playing Tackle. It would be Remmers at RT where he was decent to average and damn near good the first 8 games last season. This isn't difficult to understand but people keep ignoring it to make a point. Compton was signed as a back up and was only thrust into action b...

I think Remmers is much better at RT as we saw last year. He's definitely struggling at RG. So there's your RT and Hernandez takes Remmers spot at guard or more likely, Compton. Reiff-Hernandez-Elflein-Jones-Remmers is a much more solid line (granted, on paper). Hill is your backup, which he still ...

When you're getting hit on your blindside constantly, cannot see the guy coming and you're about to pull back for a throw, 99% of QBs are going to fumble that. Period. I don't care who plays where but the blindside needs to get figured out. The fact that we thought Hill would be better against a sp...

http://m.startribune.com/film-review-the-vikings-defense-has-a-play-action-problem/494898961/ If there is a ‘blueprint’ strategy that’s stood above others to beat the Vikings defense, it has been the misdirection concepts through play-action passes that have stifled a fierce one-on-one pass rush an...

Newman and Robison are gone and Griffen's missed two games. Those are more recent changes and don't date back to last postseason but that's a potentially significant loss of veteran leadership. I doubt that's the main problem but maybe it's a factor? I think the main problem is they are being out-s...

You're not good at comprehending stats. The Vikes were 23rd at yards per rush at 3.9. 23rd! Using total yards rushing is fools gold at it does not speak to the competency the team exhibited in their rush offense. I didn't have to look that up. The eyeball test showed this line did not do a good job...

I've been a pretty big supporter of Spielman and defend him often but he's not without his mistakes. The 2016 draft is shaping up to be a rather poor one especially if Treadwell can't turn things around. So it's not beyond the guy to misread things. I agree on this statement. I really thought the T...

Sounds like he has some maturity issues. From a football standpoint, sounds like a less talented rhodes.

I was thinking the same thing as to who was going to back up Joseph. My guess is it's going to be Johnson
