Re: Sam

EXACTLY, KOC looked just as shaken and lost as Darnold. No HC should ever get rattled like that. He was overwhelmed for 2 straight critical games. Its very disturbing to see.

Re: Vikings at Rams

Unfortunately, the odds of the Vikes actually creating a good OL is near zero. They have either ignored it or mismanaged it for 2 decades. Nothing seems to change in MN.

Re: Vikings at Rams

Well, as I expected this post season run served one purpose. It clearly dispelled ANY hope that Darnold was a hidden franchise QB that KOC would "whisper" out of his cocoon and ride to the SB. Now we just pray that JJ IS that guy and is not a porcelain, coulda been bust like a few of our l...

Re: Sam

I have been beating my chest for 2 decades screaming for the front office to stop ignoring the OL. We have gone nowhere for so long largely because we have neglected the OL. The few times they actually spent some draft resources on the OL they made awful picks. They have repeatedly drafted some line...

Re: Sam

this whole scenario isnt so bad. We really needed to see who Darnold really is. Can he take command when under heavy pressure in a playoff setting? In the past, he never succeeded at this but there was always the excuse of him being on poor teams. Well, now he has great receivers, a "QB whisper...

Re: Vikings @ Lions

THAT was a crappy loss. We didnt lose because we had less talent. We lost because we had less Character. Our offense ( mostly the QB) was rattled from the first set of downs and under performed the entire game. They were playing against a completely depleted defense especially the secondary. Both ou...

Re: Falcons at Vikings

It seems like he gets a few long catches in every game and gets respectable yards. He hadnt had a TD in many many weeks till this week. I am not sure how many targets he has averaged per game but it feels lower than I would expect.

Re: Falcons at Vikings

I am at a loss on how JJ can be the forgotten man in our offense. He is running good routes, seems to get open. I mean its great to spread the ball around and keep the defense guessing but he is being criminally under utilized.

Re: Vikes to sign Daniel Jones

I am kind of puzzled that everyone seems to assume that Darnold will be gone next year. If he takes the team into the playoffs and wins at least the first round, would we really let him go in favor of a completely untested rookie who has already managed to get seriously injured? I think not.

Re: Report: Jordan Addison arrested for alleged DUI

so not guilty plea is just a delay tactic. They have him on DUI. I suppose its pretty smart on his part. This will allow him to complete the season, not losing income. I would bet anyone that after the season ends he will change his plea to guilty of some lesser charge, take the penalties in the off...

Re: Cardinals at Vikings

I think a lot of what we see in terms of the team playing flat, esp the offense goes back to having a very young coach. His team, to everyone's surprise, is currently top ranked and now expected to go far. Young coaches have a tendency to turtle up and get conservative in crunch time. They play not ...

LOL- I am laying here on post op pain meds and clearly had a senior moment there I never had any faith in Ponder...... But Darnold...as is the perpetual problem in the VIkes, a porous OL is just a fact of life. Someday we will have ownership that invests in a OL that is a giant wall of monsters and ...

Re: Vikings at Bears

I find Darnold looking unflappable lately. He has been getting pressured, knocked around, etc and he remains calm and doesnt do anything to excessive or stupid. He does not just settle for meaningless short check down passes like Cousins. I really didnt expect much out of him given his past and I ha...
