Vikings Offseason Thread

[Aggies7]

Oh come on, now we’re officially the worst team in the division? 10th in yards per game with a mishmash of below average quarterbacks playing the final 9 games and hardly any running game to speak of, 16th in yards allowed one year after finishing 31st. 14th in PPG allowed. Only Detroit had more YPG offensively and only Chicago (12th in the league) had fewer allowed PG.

I wouldn't be surprised if they finish last or first next year at this point. A very variable team

With Chicago in the division I'd bet heavy on 2nd to last.

What happened to that browns defense? My goodness

[Mike Sixel]

If the Vikings dont trade for a guy that was bad everywhere he played, and sign Flacco, they are in the playoffs, imo. I don't blame them for not knowing about Flacco, but ever thinking Dobbs was the answer was an awful decision by this FO.

I mean Houston should throw down field all day at this point

Didn’t he want to come to MN too? But yeah there was no way to predict what he’s doing.

Browns secondary looking like the Vikings over the last few weeks.

Wow. Guys wide open over and over

Poor browns. Being a Vikings fan, I’ve always pulled for the long suffering team in the playoffs as a form of good karma. Not that’s it ever worked for us. Although I guess technically Houston has been long suffering too

[Parfigliano]

Just started watching.  Glad CLE losing.

Any team smart enough to trade their troubled QB should be rewarded.

Agreed.

Flacco fairy dust....poof

[Aggies7]

Clock just struck midnight on Flacco and probably the browns. Brutal pick 6.

That was a Nick Mullens “what in God’s name are you doing?” moment 

[Aggies7]

Another one! My god. Turned in to a pumpkin before our eyes

I'd like to rescind my earlier compliments....

I mean he was a life saver for the browns, but you knew it would have been a miracle if it continued to work. I remember people asking why the browns allowed Dobbs to sign with the Vikings during his little run

Brutal is the contractual situation they have with DeShaun Watson.  

[Aggies7]

I feel so bad for browns fans 😂 this is bad. I thought they’d win, too

Cleveland has no one to blame but themselves. I think it was pretty clear that signing a guy like Watson, especially to that obscene contract, could only end poorly for those involved. Karma is a bitch. There is no way I would ever consider involving myself with that garbage.

Agreed. That contract was insane

How does the NFL look when they blackball a principled, competent guy like Flores, probably a really cool guy, then shower a creep with a quarter billion dollars or whatever the f it was? 

 

I sure do like baseball.

So fully gauranteed money to a morally bankrupt often injured QB was a bad idea...who knew.

MLB has had their share of abusers allowed back in to the game too, to be fair.

Everyone but Cleveland? Was it the owner or GM?
