    This just might be Philly's year. Darn it.

    We'll see how the season plays out. My guess is the Vikings will draft a QB they think is the future but might not be ready to start from the get-go. (this article suggests that potentially six QBs could go in the first round). If Cousins would resign on a one year deal so the drafted QB would learn from him, the Vikings would probably do that in a heartbeat. But if Cousins wants multiple years (and he does) and another team would give that to him (I'm sure someone will), it becomes a trickier problem. In that case, I could see them trying to find a bridge QB, whether that's Dobbs or someone else, and then using some of the rest of the savings on other parts of the roster. But if this team continues to play well, make the playoffs, etc, then Dobbs would be off the table as well because someone is going to give him multiple years. In that case, the bridge QB might be a step down from Dobbs or they just go with the rookie from day one. On the other hand, if they don't like any QBs in this draft (or they are taken before they can pick one), then multiple years to Kirk or Dobbs because likely.

    I don't think they have much in the way of options. It does seem like KOC has to come up with a way to deal with blitzes from the outside. Two weeks in a row, Dobbs has struggled against that as the pocket collapses and he can't run. Don't know what the answer is (except be up by more points). But we aren't going to find a better QB than Dobbs at this point. And, realistically, so many things went wrong for us last night and we still should have won the game. We're still (likely) a playoff team.

    Dobbs making some money for himself.

    Ugh

    Really fun half.

    I think a reasonable request would have been a team that could occasionally win the Big 10 West. With USC and others joining next year, things change so that might not be reasonable (especially since there won't be a Big 10 West). But these last few years, asking the Gophers to win the West was realistic and they couldn't get it done. I want a program that can consistently compete with Iowa and Wisconsin. With all the money the Big 10 is pulling in for all of its teams, there were resources for the Gophers to step back into some relevance. I don't expect them to be Ohio State but, under Fleck, they've finished in the top 25 once. (Mason managed it twice, and I don't think they've finished in the top 25 other than those three years since before I was born. Could be wrong). They should be able to be better than that.

    This is a rough game to watch. Need to move on from Fleck.

    That Bucs loss is really looking odd now. This is a good team, somehow. Really impressed with the attitude KOC has created after the Zimmer era. (I liked Zimmer). Flores is a great defensive coordinator. He absolutely should be a head coach but maybe we can get another season from him.

    I wish I had posted this a few days ago but I thought Risner made the OL better, which was surprising to me. I liked Cleveland at guard but the offense won the last two games without him and just looked better overall. Not sure if my eyes were right or not but the Vikes seem comfortable with Risner.
  11. gunnarthor
    Well, first, we beat green bay so yay. Other than that, ugh. If Cousins is out for the year, I'd try to trade hunter and others like Hicks. They won't make the playoffs without Cousins so get some resources that help next year.
  12. gunnarthor
    My dreams are a lot better than yours ...
  13. gunnarthor
    That was one of the more fun regular season games I've seen in a while. Glad we won.
  14. gunnarthor
    This is a fun game to watch
  15. gunnarthor
    I think I'm done with the PJ Fleck Era.
  16. gunnarthor
    Might not be a bad thing for the Twins. Good luck to him, whatever happens.
  17. gunnarthor
    Yeah, big difference between 3-4 and 2-5. Also, SF is a really, really good team (loss to Cleveland not withstanding) so to win it without Jefferson probably means something good clicked.

    I was really surprised by this. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/38671694/kim-ng-marlins-general-manager-declining-2024-option She got the Marlins into the post season in a pretty tough division. Not sure if there is more of a back story here but I would have assumed they'd let her stick around longer.
  19. gunnarthor
    The Twins exceeded my expectations by a lot. I said at the beginning of the year that, if you squint, you could see a really good offense. And, despite the last few games, I think that holds true. There are certainly things to worry about for next year but take a moment and enjoy that we ended an ugly post-season streak, beat the Yankees, and won a game in Houston. Spring training will be here in no time. Hopefully, I'll be able to actually watch more games next season.

    That Brooks Lee wins ROY.
  21. gunnarthor
    Woo-hoo!!!
  22. gunnarthor
    Man, thought Alvarez was going yard.
  23. gunnarthor
    I asked my wife if I could blindfold her but ... let's say, it didn't go well. "The kids are still awake" and other words were used.
  24. gunnarthor
    I'm actually watching this game so my apologies in advance for the loss.
  25. gunnarthor
    Tied at half. That's better than I expected. Go Vikes.
