This equation DOES NOT WORK. You can trade Ryan and let Jeffers walk, I get it, that's a path you can take and maybe down the road it pays off. But promising to spend is then a completely different path. You don't do both. If you're going to spend money, don't also make your team worse by removing the good players. If you're going to trade Ryan and let Jeffers go, then you run with the young players and 'play for the future'. This fence-straddling the Twins do is frustrating and inexcusable. -
The last two games have been awful, but they did start 6-0, beating two good teams, with the same two terrible QBs. The only thing that has really changed is our attitudes. Which is justified, but if a great defense and poor offense is good enough to win every game weeks 1-6, it's unlikely that it's not good enough to win another game the rest of the year.
-
Even if it's the right move, ownership will never agree to it. There's five more home games left and they're not going to willingly alienate most of the fanbase.
-
Those are two of the only free agents I'd be interested in this winter. But as much as I have been looking forward to Emmanuel Rodriguez, he's at the top of my list to include in a package to get a starting pitcher. I'd rather not fart around with his lack of options. So Jenkins stays anyway.

I think you could argue it SHOULDN’T move the needle, but it absolutely would because people are desperate. Even a bad QB would move the needle. I think to win a championship you do need to aim for an elite QB. But many on here are OK with a good season and a playoff win, and yes, I think that’s possible with Cousins. We’ve already seen this team beat the Bears and Packers, with the exact same QB we all want gone.
-
Some times. Other times it really feels like the play calls lack a rhythm, And I feel bad typing that since I can't describe it exactly. But also, after the first fumble/pass it was clear that KOC was going to try to force feed Jefferson, and I really disliked that game plan. And I do think the Bills anticipated it all night long.
-
Wentz always waited until the end of the summer to sign because he thought he might eek out a starting job if he waited (🤣🤣🤣🤣). This year he signed in February. My bet is that the Vikings gave up on McCarthy before the offseason started and had planned for Wentz to be the #2 all along. With Wentz thinking he might get to be #1 (🤣🤣🤣🤣) if the projected Murray signing never happened.
-
Regardless if the new GM wants to or not, I'm guessing the Wilfs are already on the phone with him telling him that Kirk Cousins is going to be on a plane to Minnesota tomorrow and they don't care what he has to give up to make that happen. And I'm thinking it's going to be a price that will make my stomach churn.
-
Yeah, I don't know why I'm in a bad mood when I always thought this defense was good enough and the schedule was easy enough for 11 wins but the offense was bad enough to get embarrassed in the first round of the playoffs. I accepted that fate in September, yet here I am stewing about it in November. And to clarify, getting embarrassed in the first round of the playoffs is just as bad of a fate as missing out on the playoffs in my book.

Either KOC allows a new play calling OC and QB coach next year, or the Vikings look to trade him. The problem for me comes from the fact that I want Flores as the DC; I don't want to mess with the formula and make him HC if they don't have to. I wonder if there's a scenario where the Wilfs would pay a kings ransom for Tomlin and on top of that, pay Flores above and beyond any other DC to continue doing what he does.
-
Right. He still had the proper demeaner after the first half struggles. After that Hockenson pick, and every 3 and out after, he clearly looked like was beaten and dejected. There was no coming back from that today.
-
Well this one is going to cost him some uncomfortable questions as opposed to a timeout. And to be clear, my assertion is that either Brosmer should have been in at half time, or he should have been in never.
-
Putting Brosmer in now was a bad decision from KOC. If they go down and get a meaningless TD, does he realize the questions he's going to have to answer?
-
Yeah, THC for me. While I still can.
-
I'm heated now, but I still didn't want McCarthy being the 'savior' and having to hitch our wagon to him for the foreseeable future.
-
Good. But still, Joe Buck sucks.
-
Maybe that drop was a f u to Wentz?
-
This is getting annoying. Everyone is pissed but this is the only comment you have and you make it every time, You know it’s not happening. Find me one head coach that was fired for play on the field when he was 6-2.
-
Playing armchair psychologist, I’d bet going into the game, Wentz was envisioning this as his chance to resurrect his career, leading a team with a great defense to glory. And with every muck up, he’s dying inside knowing he’s very publicly showing that dream is over.
-
I mean, I also would continue to mentally deteriorate after compounding my mistakes in front of millions of people. But obviously NFL QBs aren't supposed to do that.
-
Wentz was mentally cooked after that lateral pass/fumble in the 1Q.
-
Not to derail the thoughtful conversation about Carson Wentz, but I've never seen Myles Price on the field so much. I wouldn't have guessed he was the Jauan Jennings replacement.
-
The Vikings really seem to attract QBs who can’t handle big games.
-
So….. Brosmer? Or Wildcat? I vote wildcat.
-
I’ve tended to really dislike KOCs trick plays. Maybe Flores knows one.
