  1. Wentz officially the starter for MNF. I bet the offense is going to look a lot more functional this week. Watch us put up a 40 burger against this terrible Bills secondary
  2. Woof. Another rookie draft class with very little impact in year 1.
  3. Honest question. How many wins do you think this roster generates? It looks like an 81 win team to me.
  4. We say this a lot with the Twins, Mike. Pick a path and commit to it. That’s all I ask. Standing pat is unacceptable when other NFC teams are loading up for a playoff run. If Teasley doesn’t think this is the team to go all in with, that’s fine. Sell off the veterans and move forward with a rebuild. God knows we have been overdue for one anyway.
  5. They'll probably end up trading for a blocking TE and call it a day. Then hope to hang on for 10-11 wins.
  6. Alec Lewis has been carrying the water of the Vikings today... Saying they've been looking at the RB market, but with "money being tight" they may not have the ability to trade for JT. I find the excuse to be bogus... But that's the way the Vikings have operated for a long time. Half-measures just like Tommy P.
  7. How far off is E-Rod and Quick + ? for Henderson? That is, if everyone except Alonso is on the table? I’m very interested in the next 3 controllable years for him.
  8. He’s just as much of a depressed value as Royce Lewis. Challenge trade for both players?
  9. What would Gunnar Henderson cost?
  10. Sato and Morejon are the 2 FAs I'm most intrigued by. Sato solves the revolving door at 1B for years. Morejon I think will transition back to the rotation and be a Michael King type... Rock solid 2/3 in a playoff rotation. I have zero expectations Tom P is going to pony up the money to do it... But if he does I will be over the moon. As I'm reading through the various resources posting their FA rankings and contract projections, I'm excited about the amount of solid LH pitching relievers, and relievers in general. Just need to pick the right one... Easier said than done with relievers.
  11. Wish he got a longer look here. He seemed like a keeper in the limited times I saw him play
  12. It certainly sounds like Murray lost the WR room. A visibly pissed off JJ and Addison calling out that they’re open
  13. First play on offense yesterday.... Kyler Murray PA bootleg to the right and hits the backup TE Yurosek for a 20+ yard gain. Where did that go the rest of the game?
  14. The national media is finally catching on to this bad marriage of KOC and Murray... But Vikings fans knew from the day he was rumored to sign here that it was going to require a complete overhaul of KOC's offense.
  15. I don't actually expect this to happen under the Wilfs' ownership... But if they don't want to push the chips in this year and fix the offense, we should start the rebuild instead. Lots of important defensive players on an expiring contract - Van Ginkel, Cashman, Rodgers, Redmond (RFA). Plus Hockenson, both RBs, both QBs... Pivoting to selling will piss off a lot of players, and probably push Jefferson over the edge to request a trade in the offseason. But they need to have an honest discussion about it. The NFC North is completely loaded and staying that way for the next couple of years.
  16. Is it fair to say your bullpen strategy is signing a bunch of minor league + ST invite guys to compete? Or are you not signing anyone for the bullpen?
  17. Sorry I just don't understand this thinking. Fleck is working with a bottom of the barrel NIL budget, but still churns out 8-9 wins consistently with the typical Duke's Mayo Bowl win at the end. He's producing NFL talent every year. Who would do better? If the expectation is to win the Big 10 and make the CFP, that's never going to happen. It's more likely he finally leaves for a bigger university that actually wants to invest in athletics. The University of Minnesota would rather move away from athletics entirely and be an academic only school.
  18. If I learned anything from my previously long suffering Cubs friends... All I need to see is 1 Super Bowl win. After that, the Vikings could go 0-17 for the next decade. I won't care. Just one Super Bowl please.
  19. Given the state of the NFC North with 0 bad teams, the Vikings can't afford to be patient with Murray anymore. We've now seen 5 full games of him, and the offense looks the same every time. Continuing to play Murray is a disservice to the great defense we have. If Murray isn't willing to run more often, or throw across the middle unless it's a quick seam route to a TE, then we will continue to struggle scoring points.
  20. Great post. Thanks for putting in the work, and most importantly, thank you for alerting me about the GM simulator Dealin the Cards! I will definitely be playing around on this website over the long offseason.
  21. The Twins need to keep throwing as many minor league + ST invite dart throws as possible and let the best man win. Throw that money at the rotation instead…
  22. We will see what the 2027 CBA negotiation ends up being. A team like the Twins with their current self-imposed Pohlad budget shouldn’t dedicate $15+ million AAV for a reliever. They’re the kings of SSS. It’s the one philosophy I am in lock step with in the Falvey/Zoll era. Develop your own relievers by converting “failed” starters.
  23. Bo Nix looks like he’s 26 going on 56 years old.
  24. The end of this Broncos Chiefs game is pretty awesome. Broncos win!
