The Vikings at 3-2 doesn't feel great, but one glance around the standings and you realize 3-2 is just fine.
-
The Bengals look like the '85 Bears by comparison.
-
Arizona losing this game is one of the most unbelievable things I've seen. Fumbling on a 71 yard run. Go ahead and look up the highlight of the fumble recovery touchdown for the Titans - it needs Benny Hill music.
-
I thought it had a weird amount of english on it but never saw a replay to see why.
-
How did Reichart not call it out?
-
So the Vikings hit a camera wire and the Jets hit a camera on a passing play. Sounds like something the NFL needs to figure out.
-
I am more than a bit shocked we walked away with a win. -2 in the turnover margin, 4 starting OL out against the league's best front.... Gutty win.
-
Definitely not TE screens
-
Your complaints about the playcalling is completely inaccurate. They are trying screens, rolls, and pitches. None of them are working because we now have 4 subs on the OL.
-
Here's where I have an issue with KOC. That third down was in a bunch on the right, but Thielen and Hockenson's only intention on that play was to pick players to open up Jefferson. But the play was deep! We needed 5...how was the pick and the rub not intended for a short, quick throw?
-
I'm not sure what you're watching man. Honestly.
-
Darrisaw not on the field.
-
Defense needs to make a play this drive.
-
Skule just got Wentz killed. We have a healthy d-line and right now they are not holding up against the run. You will lose a lot of games giving up 6 or 7 yards per carry.

This ownership group has proven to have cornered the market on their hit rate for "feet in mouths" But I'll repeat what I've said elsewhere. If any of these silver spoon schmos want us to back off and accept their line of reasoning about how impoverished and indebted they are as owners they have a very simple fix: Release your finances to the public. -
I thought in 2023 that this team's pipeline was about to start humming and that the true measure of this FO would be proven - one way or the other - at that point. But it didn't come to fruition. We just spent a deadline offloading half the roster and our primary target was starting pitching. If we had actually built the pipeline we would've been dealing arms for (desperately) needed offensive help. Instead.....we had to focus on adding more pitching. The pipeline failed. It really is time for this front office to go.

Great post. I'd like to add one more thing to it if I may? If the Pohlads don't like us questioning their commitment (or, frankly, their honesty about debt) than I have a very simple proposal for them: Open your books to the public and show us.

Josh Oliver. Though I'd love to have Ed Oliver too.

And we're overseas....so it's not like you can snipe someone off a practice squad and get them to practice in a timely manner. Vikings are going to have to consider this as a viable strategy:

I guess it depends a little on what this roster actually ends up looking like and what they decide to do with Lopez and Ryan. The end of the season at least offered hope that Bradley, Matthews, SWR, Abel could be guys to count on next year. It seems like if you plan on keeping Ober and Ryan and deal Lopez that you might make a dent in helping your positional side. The bullpen is a mess. Festa, Prielipp, Funderburk, Sands, and pray seems like the situation. OF is Wallner, Buxton, Martin. Outman probably 4th OF. C is Jeffers IF is Keaschall, Lee, Lewis. Clemens as a utility guy. So this team needs a catcher. They need a first baseman. If the team can move Lopez for a player at 1B and a bullpen arm they at least give the manager the bones of something that can develop. Well....and then probably lose a lot of games in the 7th, 8th, or 9th.

I'll give you Koskie, but Cuddyer was a butcher for his entire career. Dude just had a good arm. Morneau also improved at 1B but those guys you listed were mostly DHs. I have it on good authority that guys that play DH do make less defensive errors. I agree that Falvey has shown willingness to pivot. But then...so did Baldelli the last two months. I just think there needs to be a total organizational overhaul and so far we aren't getting that.

I think we look back fondly on the Kelly and Gardenhire days but it's not like Gardenhire got some butcher in the field in Nick Punto and trained him into being an elite defender. Did they refine and enhance players? Sure. But let's be clear: the organization prioritized players who had those fundamentals and they were coached to expect them from the moment they signed. All our big league managers did was continue to demand that level of play. Nothing short of magic was going to help Baldelli turn this bunch of oafs into a team with good fundamentals/defense. I'm of the opinion all the other listed criticisms you have were a top-down policy. We'll find out next yer though!

Put me down for looking at these three names: Rick Sweet Eric Wedge Brandon Dinkelman
-
I get this to some extent, but if your organization is banking on your MLB level manager to teach basic fundamentals..... What the hell were the minor league coaches actually doing?

Ok, so let's assume he got a raise from that? 9M would put him between Gary Sanchez and Max Kepler.
