Vikings are 1.5 point favorites. Over-under is 50.5. The biggest reason the Vikings rank near the bottom of pass defense is that they’ve gotten off to big leads in every game. Opponents have been forced to abandon the running game and throw on virtually every down. Make no mistake. The Vikings’ defe...

And for the second straight week, when the team needed a late drive, he delivered. That's a great point. The offense struggled mightily in both the second half of the game against the Packers and for 3 solid quarters against the Jets, and yet when the chips were down late in both games Darnold drov...

Prayers your way. This hurricane is no joke. Lived through Hurricane Hugo in 1989, and it was rough. This looks just as powerful, and it’s the second in two weeks!

Stay safe.

I squirmed in my chair watching this game (OK, that's a lie ... I paced the entire second half). At the same time, I loved it. Why? Because the Vikings played C+ football ... and won. Some observations. • The Defense is Legit As some of you have said, last year felt like BFlo smoke and mirrors. They...

I'm going to take the copout route here. I don't think this should even be a topic of discussion for the Vikings until the season is over. Sam is playing great football right now, much better than even the most cockeyed optimist could've imagined. Until this past week, a lot of pundits were putting ...

I'm of the opinion that Darnold is nothing special and McCarthy will be far superior. Resigning Darnold cheap for one year is all I would do and that wouldn't get it done. We could tag him and trade him right? Their is no rule against that or is there? If we can get picks for him all the better. Fr...

Aaron Jones averaged 5.6 yards AFTER contact against the Giants. We haven't seen that out of a running back in a long, long time. Sam Darnold was over 10 YPA for most of the game. He finished at 8.7. Also very good. Other than the INT, which was caused by his arm being hit, he never had one of those...

I always lean towards letting rookies have a redshirt year to acclimate themselves. Unfortunately the reality of the league is you usually need to rush them out there. If we are out of the playoff race by December I'd want JJ to get his feet wet then but I'm pulling for Darnold to take the job and ...

The entire thing is the very definition of irony. Look, I feel bad about what happened to him last year. He was playing elite football, and the Achilles injury was the kind of thing you don’t wish on your worst enemy. But I don’t feel one bit sorry for Kirk overall. He’s had a long career in the NFL...

But the Packers took Love at 26. Atlanta could've taken a true impact player at 8. Instead they took a guy who, even if he pans out, won't start a game until he's 26 years old unless Kirk gets hurt again. Also, you guaranteed $100 million to Cousins. Why wouldn't you put players around him who coul...

It's insane. The Falcons could've taken Rome Odunze and given Kirk a serious weapon. They could've taken Dallas Turner and upgraded the defense by miles. Instead ... they took Kirk's replacement! Is it possible Atlanta has buyer's remorse before Cousins ever takes a snap? It's planning for the futu...

Exactly. Most of the Mock Draft world had the Vikings moving up and giving the 11th, 23rd, and next year's 1st to get him. Instead they just have to burn a 4th and a 5th. Moving up to 4 or 5 would maybe have matched the "value chart" but so what? Fully agree with you both. That was a kill...

What a first round.

KOC got his quarterback … AND Flores got his game-wrecking edge.

I don’t give a damn about value charts. Kwesi killed it.

Haven't seen one of the big names report it yet. Early chatter on twitter is: #23 2024 5th (this year) 2025 3rd 2025 4th to get the #17 this year :shock: Turner is a top 10 talent and exactly the type of player Flores will maximize, so while they gave up quite a bit to get him I'm ecstatic they got...

What did the Vikings give up? It was smart to make sure the Broncos didn't jump ahead of them. But I sure hope it wasn't a mini bidding war. I think a fourth and fifth. Not that bad. They still keep the 23rd pick, so good going, getting what they want without paying a steep price. Also I think good...
