What if they don’t get any really* good years -
Gut Punch! Carlos Correa Signs with the Giants
Aggies7 replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
13 years? Lmao baseball is ridiculous. They’ll need to install a hand rail going down the first base line for the last year of his contract -
I just meant that we keep wasting years of a QB who is capable of winning a Super Bowl. Maybe that’s a bit of a stretch for a guy who has exactly one playoff win, but I don’t think there are that many starting quarterbacks in the league right now who are capable of winning one based on their talents and limitations. Kirk is not having his best statistical year this season, but I’d take him over probably 25 other starters in the league right now. Heck he might even be higher than that. Mahomes, Allen, burrow, hurts…borderline guys like Dak and Lamar Jackson. I’d take Kirk over Tua and Herbert all day. And he’s never had a good offensive line his entire time here. Ever. He’s not missed a single game due to injury. Kirk isn’t a superstar, but think how bad it would be if we didn’t have him. The Vikings spent decades looking for that steady, long term, above average QB when they had strong rosters. Finally got one in Kirk and the rest of the roster is weak. Maybe zimmer was on to something ?
-
It stinks that Kirk is probably talented enough to help us win a Super Bowl but we just don’t have nearly enough on the roster for that to be a realistic possibility during the rest of his time here.
-
Yep, and I believed zimmer was the right guy at the time with that group. Turns out he was a pariah and disliked in the locker room. You wonder how that group would have done with a guy like KOC? He seems to be the right guy (despite his inane goal line jump pass that swung the entire game on Sunday). Unfortunately with the poor drafts and lack of salary cap room, I can see him being a casualty if we go through a rebuild. Just the nature of the league and the story of the Vikings. Timing has never been our thing.
-
And as mentioned further up the thread, kirk is already kid 30s. Drafting a QB will soon become a high priority if it isn’t already. And unfortunately we don’t have a lot of high picks to do that coming up and you know the team will continue to not be terrible enough to get a top 5 pick. I look back at 2017 and think that was the shot for this particular window with this core group of guys.
-
Being at home for the first playoff game would give us a slight edge over most of those lower seeds. The good news is that they will certainly avoid having to play Dallas and SF in round 1. Teams I’d rather face in order: giants, Tampa, seattle, Washington, Detroit
-
That’s what I mean. If you’re going to go young and innovative, go young and innovative
-
You don’t have to be disappointed, but I’m also not going to take any solace that we had a better year than last year, record wise. And in fact, the defense has actually gotten worse since last season. They were ranked 24 last year and are now dead last yardage wise. Last year’s team is actually very similar to 2022 IMO. The biggest difference has been the performance in close games which I believe is a direct result of having a head coach that the players neither feared nor hated. Having confidence that your coach has your back and won’t degrade you if you fail goes a long way. And yeah, the wild, ridiculous wins have been fun, but in January it’s going to end like so many other years have ended: bounced out by a better team
-
Been a lot of fun seasons, they just all end the same way. Pretty well tired of it at this point.
-
Because it doesn’t portend future success. For a team without a championship appearance in over 40 years, it’s not something to get excited about. The window is not wide swinging open, if it’s open at all. it’s just another winning season for one of the winningest franchises in the sport. But ultimately, another that will end without a title. I can’t think of another team that has wasted more generational talent than the Vikings.
-
I don’t know, I feel like I’ve seen this movie 100 times. By the time the defense improves, the offense is probably going to take steps back. Cook and thielen seem to be past their prime. Kirk is already 34. Guys like JJ and hockenson are great pieces but the Oline is still not good. Even on the defensive side of the ball, Kendricks seems to be nearly done, HSmith is great but won’t stick around much longer. ZSmith and Hunter have been ghosts. There is a ton of work to do on defense. To borrow a real estate term (which I hate), the Vikings franchise always has “good bones”, quality pieces that other franchises lack. But they just can’t put it all together at once. I dont know why but it’s been happening for 60+ years. I marvel at a team like SF who is on their third QB and laid an absolute beat down on Tom Brady and Tampa. When was the last time the Vikings went out and just dominated someone from start to finish?
-
They won’t get to the NFCCG if they finish with the 3 seed, which is looking increasingly likely with a couple divisional road games left and game on Saturday with a team coming off a bye. You simply can’t hide a terrible defense in the NFL, and the Vikings have now moved into dead last in yards allowed and 2nd to last in yards/play. Why you would hire an ultra young offensive minded coach in his first head coaching job and then hire a guy who’s been a DC for over 20 years is a head scratcher.
-
Best teams in the NFC according to me: eagles 49ers cowboys vikings Commanders seahawks bucs lions giants I would favor the Vikings to win a playoff game against seattle, Tampa and the giants. Slight favorites over Washington and the lions because of the home field in round one. Finish as the third seed and it’ll be a divisional round exit. Highly doubt we could go into Philly or SF and win a road playoff game
-
Niners 28-0 at half. Oofda. Good teams take care of business.
-
Oof, not two minutes after I typed this, looks like deebo Samuel may have blown up his knee. Carted off.
-
While it might be satisfying to see a change at DC, at this point in the season I think any improvement would be marginal at best. Some talent is not producing (Hunter/z smith), but there just isn’t much else after the injuries etc to make that much of a difference
-
“Mr irrelevant” Brock Purdy and the niners are blowing out the bucs. Anything less than the 2 seed and the Vikings won’t get past the second round. If that.
-
SF will be one game behind with a win over the bucs ?♂️
-
Do you care about yards allowed now, Ed?
-
Pitching and defense. Two things the Minnesota teams haven’t had in quite some time.
-
Man that was gutsy to kick a FG there and risk the block.
-
You wonder what happens if we don’t fumble down near the goal line. You wonder if even matters
-
Haha just can’t make a single defensive play. Sad.
-
3rd and 7. Do the lions throw it? We have 2 timeouts. Running is pointless
