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 ...

Re: Vikings at Bears

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...

Re: Who Starts?

J Kapp is spot on......keeping Cousins is just a guarantee that this team will continue to go nowhere for years. The only way forward is to dump his bloated contract, open up cap space, draft/trade intelligently to build a foundation of young quality players on the front lines and secondary that you...

Re: Packers at Vikings

Well that was the perfect end of the season for this bottom feeder team. No more smoke and mirrors fooling fans into delusions of hope for glory. The DL created some pressure to hide the fact that we have no secondary for the first half of the season but no more. The OL is the same epic failure that...

Re: Lions at Vikings

For over a decade- really since the Wilfs took over, I have felt like a broken record. Ownership and the goofs they have hired to run football operations have NEVER shown a shred of competence regarding the development of the front lines. They either ignore the need for an OL/DL or draft busts and k...

Re: Lions at Vikings

The Lion will obliterate us in both games we play with them. Their HC is twice the HC of KO. Didnt some of you want him for COTY :lol: Lioms are still in the hunt for home field advantage and are happy AF they have the Vikings to play 2 times. The Vikings need new ownership before anything will real...

Re: Vikings at Bengals

I should be more clear….a pocket passer will get nowhere …..in MN . It has been decades since this organization has prioritized and competently drafted an excellent Ol. It pitiful how far back we need to look until we last had a pro bowl ranked OL. So, no, a pocket passer will never succeed in MN

Re: Good article on Flores defense

All his good ideas fly out the window in the 4th quarter when he has to protect the lead and he goes all conservative and simple minded. He HAS to change his ways or this will just continue when the game is on the line and we blow it.
