    But to be fair, the defense can only afford Greenard, Cashman, Van Ginkel, Murphy and Gilmore because they aren’t also paying Cousins.

    Prime time Darnold is looking like prime time Cousins

    I was a bit jokey about it earlier, but I'm fine with this. It's too late in the year for contingencies. The Vikings need to win this one tonight. Whether they start the playoffs in TB or LA, I don't see them winning four playoff games, with most likely all of them being on the road.

    Huntley maybe would have been a great backup if they'd use him right, as he's the complete opposite of Tagovailoa and the defense would be unprepared. Like Jordan Love and Malik Willis. But the Dolphins aren't doing that. 25 passes and only 20 rushes, and only 2 runs by Huntley? Which is the one thing he can do?!? Achane has 118 yards on 10 carries. Why are they throwing more than ten times today?
  5. nicksaviking
    Well he's probably going to make himself an extra few million next year because of the perceived KOC wisdom rubbing off on him.
  6. nicksaviking
    One would think. But I'm pretty convinced that Andy Reid can see the future and knows the right move to make in every situation.

    I don't know, if you have to go to your backup QB, I don't know badly I care about winning a game. If Miami had Gardner Minshew as QB, congrats, you make the playoffs with the honor of getting smoked by the Bills in the 1st round with or without Tua. It's a forgettable season either way.

    Is KC even playing any receivers? Or is it just RBs and TEs running routes?

    And what seems to be a pretty accommodating owner who doesn't meddle with the actual football stuff. Unless he's forced to break up a fight between his HOF QB and HOF coach.

    Jarod Mayo is the first HC out the door. I agree with the move as I think if that organization wanted to return to being competitive, they needed to clean house and start over with no Belichick ties. But of course the rumors are that Mayo is out so they can aggressively chase Mike Vrabel. Which keeps the Belichick era going. I know Mike Florio and tons of league pundits love Vrabel and think he was unfairly fired, but he's the kind of coach that will never win a title because he refuses to adapt to modern football. Which, if it's not YOUR favorite team, that's fine. Playoff appearances with no shot at a championship only matter to the actual fans of the team. Sorry Vrabel, sorry Mike Tomlin, but insisting that you will only try to win by having an awesome defense and awesome run game doesn't work anymore. Not saying it's impossible, but it's like a once every decade and a half proposition. And building an elite defense and elite running game is harder than they think. An innovative, high flying offense is a much better bet. The Patriots now may have the QB to do that, but I'd be worried that Vrabel will completely ruin it by turning him into a game manager.

    Sucks for everybody who hates Sean Peyton too.
  12. nicksaviking
    Good, they have a better shot at knocking out Detroit next week.🤩

    It's the Browns, they aren't firing Stafanski, because they are the cheapest team in the league and won't pay two coaches. I'm glad he's likely not getting fired, because I think he might be a perfect fit to developing Caleb Williams.
  14. nicksaviking
    It's definitely a power move. Basically saying the Lions and the Vikings are the same as the Commanders and Packers. Still, watching the Commanders and Packers today, I'm wondering if they're a bit regretful. Those look like much easier victories at the moment. Though, I think I mentioned previously, this Lions/Vikings matchup is about as hyped as any regular season game ever. I could easily see the loser losing all air having to play on the road and miss out on the bye.
  15. nicksaviking
    I'm surprised the Rams are sitting the starters. A win and they for sure avoid the two 14 win teams.
  16. nicksaviking
    Bailey Zappe's mom is very, very happy.
  17. nicksaviking
    That seems ambitious, however, it is the Lions players complaining about the loser of this game going on the road. Haven't heard a word from the Vikings. I 100% think the Lions are open to going in the tank if the game starts to fade away from them. There's way more pressure on them than there is on the Vikings.
  18. nicksaviking
    The Vikings haven't been the #1 seed since 1998. Sorry, but yeah, I'd say that being happy for another team after we've waited more than a quarter century to be the #1 seed and we've NEVER won the championship is definitively a turncoat move.
  19. nicksaviking
    I was going to say the B squad in a Big 10 spring scrimmage. I can't watch this crap. The Ravens have the division on the line and clearly aren't even taking this game seriously.
  20. nicksaviking
    If the Twins are trading Paddack to free up room for this guy, why wouldn't they just keep Paddack? I trust neither, but I'd trust Paddack more.
  21. nicksaviking
    The problem is that the Twins should only sign him to be a reliever but if there are multiple teams, one will most likely promise him a starting job. The Twins should absolutely not make that promise. I also don't like how these pitchers struggle here, find success in the KBO or JPL, then come back here and have success despite typically having poor strikeout numbers. Without the strikeouts, these players put me on edge as I don't trust the success to last. These guys all give me Stepford Wives vibes.
  22. nicksaviking
    Agree. If I'm a free agent looking for a multi year deal, Minnesota might be the last place I'd go right now. I know, it sucks as a Twins fan, but with owner uncertainty, this is the most unpredictable destination in MLB right now. I honestly wouldn't be surprised it the top sports agents have taken the Twins off of their speed dials until the situation is resolved.

    I get it, and he's not bad. But I'm not looking to add defense, I'm looking to add offense or add nothing at all. Offense is this team's biggest problem at the moment. Going from Miranda to Mountcastle seems to be just treading water at best and sacrificing more offense for defense at worst, so I guess I'd stick with Miranda and look to use the financial and trade equity elsewhere.
  24. nicksaviking
    I'm only minimally interested in Mouontcastle. I like that he appears to be statistically consistent, which the Twins as a team are really, really bad at, but he has no ceiling. A corner bat with no power and poor on-base skills, I wouldn't give up much for him. As for Sasaki; the Twins just missed the playoffs and haven't been a regular contender in years, they let their GM walk and didn't bother replacing him, ownership is in flux making the future undetermined and they've begun a trend of clearing payroll. If they somehow convince Sasaki to come here over the many other more desirable landing spots, Falvey will have put together the best sales pitch in the history of sales pitches.

    I agree they are WAAAAAY more smug, and it's unearned. I really loathe them. I just think the SEC presidents and state legislatures down south should be held criminally responsible for diverting all these funds. Those are the states where the people need them the most. So I hate the SEC more as there are many more real-world consequences for their behavior. And gross, listening to Tim Tebow gush about Riley Leonard. 'No he didn't have the stats, but his players love him more for that. His toughness is what REALLY matters.' No one is fooled Tim, we all know you're talking about yourself.
