He definitely didn't step up to the challenge in the playoffs. Of course his offensive line was also so poor in the playoffs that the entire IOL was replaced this off season.


I see it a little differently. I think the IOL didn't necessarily regress in those final 2 games as much as the ...

Some videos about the position groups that I thought were pretty good.

Bottom 5:


Top 5:

Josh Oliver has been productive for us. The Minnesota Vikings have a total of $26.3 million invested in the tight end position for the 2025 season, which ranks them second in the NFL in terms of total cap space allocated to that position. I wonder if it will mean more 2 TE sets?


I think so, but ...

Vikings sign TE Josh Oliver to 3-year, $23.25M contract extension

The Minnesota Vikings have agreed to terms on a contract extension with tight end Josh Oliver, one of the least noticed but most important role players on the team in the past two seasons, the team confirmed Tuesday.

Oliver's ...

I think there's a decent chance that if Tom Brady or Drew Brees had been drafted and started by the Jets team that Darnold went to and subsequently went to the Panthers they wouldn't be considered anywhere near great.

Football is the ultimate team sport and those Jets teams, especially their ...

He was before my time but I would have loved to see him play. It would have been nice to see him get the HOF for sure.

Darnold had a long history of holding the ball too long before he got to the Vikings and while he seemed to improve a bit in that area during his time in Minnesota he regressed badly in those last two losses.

Processing the field post-snap is a rare skill that I'm not sure can be taught as much ...

You never really know. I don't know how many games were supposed to be "prove it" games for them last season but then after they won there was always some reason they actually weren't lol

Our fold was expected all season. We weren't considered that strong going in. You're right and things ...

I've kind of got mixed feelings about it. Week 6 is a little early for a bye. It'd be nice to have it closer to week 9.

Yep, I think they did a good job in that video showing why both QB and Oline needed to improve. Sometimes an Oline can play poorly, and they did, but the QB still holds the ball too long, which he did.

It was the perfect storm. The QB played as bad as he could in that regard, the iOL played as ...

I didn't reply to it at the time but this is a great video breaking down what happened. So glad the iOL has been revamped. Hopefully it makes a big difference in pass protection as well as the running game.
