No, but we talk about how they won too many games. Hunter had a great year, but would trading him at the deadline have lost them a couple games? Smith? Guy is a shell of himself and will probably retire this offseason. Other than that, what value was there on the roster that would have significantly affected their final record? They had to get Dobbs because they physically didn’t have 2 healthy QBs on the roster after Kirk got hurt. They probably would have lost to Atlanta on their own had Hall not been injured in-game. What was Dobbs expected to do? He didn’t even know the plays and was improvising. Then he was playing for a roster/starting spot against the saints and balled out. It is what it is. I just don’t see any moves that could have been made that would have erased enough wins to have a significant impact. Dobbs had a mini-run playing for a roster spot and the only other game they won could have easily been a loss if the raiders didn’t out-inept them. I remember when there was talk about trading Kirk when the team was 0-3 and 1-4 (a lot by me). Now I love Kirk and want him back next year, but THAT was a move that could have brought some return and also set the team up to lose on its own (not saying he would have approved). But then in classic Vikings fashion, they went out and went on a run before the blown out Achilles. Sometimes there just arent any moves that can be made to “throw” a season. And if any team failed at that, it wasn’t the Vikings. Look at the Jets. They need a QB and went 3-2 down the stretch. So do the Giants who went 4-3. Vikings went 1-5. And at one point, the bears were going to have 2 top 5 picks. People on rosters and in front offices have a hard time just giving up.

It’s kind of funny how we fans talk about teams tanking or how teams should lose in order to help the draft status . Aside from having a fire sale and sending off anything of value, every single guy on the team (and coaches) would be foolish to go out and give a half assed effort to benefit draft status. Aside from the obvious injury risk, the average NFL career is like 3.5 years. I can’t imagine working your entire life to make it to the top of your profession, and then mailing it in for 9 games (after Kirk got hurt), putting your roster spot at risk. Just to hope the team gets better, and you may not even be around to see the benefit. All sports should have a lottery for the top ten picks.

Last place schedule incoming!

Think how improbable it is that the packers made the playoffs after the Vikings trounced them in lambeau. Just shocking

Seeing the eagles be terrible is almost as good as a Vikings win to me

Unless he has a monster game tomorrow night and someone else grabs him

Hoping for better days ahead

What a bizarre year. 1-4, 5-0, 1-6

Steelers sneak in to the playoffs, unreal

Hey 391 yards and 2 TDs. The defense didn’t have to be so terrible, again

Mullens ran out of magic.

I have to finish shoveling the driveway and this game is limping to the finish

Never too late to establish the run

Why are we running the ball lol

There would need to be an onsider at this point.

Is 8 minutes enough time for more Mullens magic?

We have no answer for anything defensively

Kind of an odd game for Detroit though. Sort of something to play for but not really. I’ve seen enough of their offense to believe we couldn’t stop them enough for 60 minutes

People on Twitter are calling Dan Campbell Dan Gamble 😂

Another lions injury 😳

Wild game between the jags and titans

Mullens with 351 yards lol he’s not horrible when he doesn’t turn it over (I know)

A track meet has broken out!

The Vikings should draft one quarterback and all defenders after that
