Re: Who Starts?
I think Vikings fans are just desperate for a savior so we magnify any good thing. The truth is, the team currently just has a collection of back up QBs, They have surprised us with some decent performances but none of them are going to be "the Savior" who will carry us to a Super Bowl. An...

Re: Should we trade for a Quarterback
Prrhaps someone in the front office will FINALLY have an epiphany and realize that a football team needs an OL before investing in a top tier QB? Prolly not……

Re: Vikings vs 49ers
This is the first game of the season that I actually enjoyed. I think that is the most fundamental goal goal for any sports team. They exist to entertain us. The Vikes have been far from entertaining so thats a big step forward. The injuries are starting to add up, but thats true all across the leag...

Re: JJ to injured list
We over invested in Cousins and got stuck with an obligate pocket passer and NO pocket cause we have NO OL Now we are about to over invest in TEs and WRs (given that they will likely massively put out cash to keep JJ as he puts seats in the stadium) and then, once again, cry poor and NOT put money i...

Re: JJ to injured list
this season was over before it started. drafting a new QB is only a part of the issue. even if we drafted the next Mahomes, it will lead nowhere until we entirely rebuild our front lines. the more than decade long failures up front suggest that we have neither the management know how when it comes t...

Re: Chiefs at Vikings
This is likely to be a bloodbath. KC will have a chip on their shoulder, especially Mahomes who publicly admitted to under performing last week. He is a real leader and will come to town ready to decimate. Their coach is top tier and should have an easy time picking apart the glaring weaknesses of o...

Re: Chargers at Vikings
The whole team as it is constructed is a circus of failure. This is not exclusively a QB problem by far. The most glaring chronic issue has been a total incompetence by management and coaching to establish ANY front lines for over a decade. From that insurmountable error we then have a gamble on a Q...

Re: Chargers at Vikings
Cousins could be a good enough QB for a Super Bowl run on a team with a Smart Coach and a rock solid OL......we have never had either during his entire tenure here. His only real value for the Vikings is trade bait. We arent going anywhere with him. We just dont have the team to support his skills. ...

Re: Chargers at Vikings
I have been a dedicated, oft frustrated Vikings fan since the early 70's. I dont think I have ever been more fed up with this team (ownership/management) as I am today. This epic train wreck of a team is pretty hopeless. The glaring weaknesses are obvious, chronic and seemingly intentionally ignored...

Re: Vikings at Eagles
Cousins did well given the complete lack of an OL. We have ZERO running game which is no surprise given the absent OL. Conversely, the whole league will be running down our throat now that our DL has been exposed to be a version of the Emperors New Clothes. A team that cant stop the run will not get...

Re: The Justin Jefferson contract situation
usually I would agree that what happened under one GM has nothing with what the next GM will do BUT in the case of the VIkes I have become convinced that the new GM is not his own man. THis team continues to neglect its front lines just like we did for over a decade with the previous idiotic GM. I d...

Re: The Justin Jefferson contract situation
Dont waste your time worrying about how the Vikes are going to retain JJ. It will never happen. Premier WRs dont stay in MN. Why would they? There are too many better run teams out there who have better QBs, better OCs, with REAL chances of winning a Super Bowl. MN is just a stepping stone. Our sens...

Re: Vikings at Eagles
THe Vikes have done nothing to improve their basic flaw from last season ( or the last decade)....their utter garbage on the front line. The Eagles beat us like a dead mule last year and are just as good a team this year so why expect any better outcome? Cousins is a good QB if given a comfy pocket ...

Re: Dalvin Cook's Future
Sadly, in the modern NFL, there is no winning formula that includes a highly paid running back. The rules are greatly in favor of the passing game, the pay structure makes it fool hardy to put a bunch of cap money into a position that historically has a VERY short career before injury takes a toll, ...

Re: Preseason game 2 vs. Titans: observations
Its sad to start a season already fatigued. The OL/DL issues which have dogged this team for a decade+ are completely unaddressed. I cannot understand how this has become the status quo for the Vikes. Regimes change and nothing changes related to the absolutely critical foundation of winning footbal...
