    OK boys, I'm calling it. Max Brosmer isn't getting into the HOF.
  2. nicksaviking
    That may be the end of the Aaron Jones era in Minnesota. He don’t look to be getting up.
  3. nicksaviking
    So many tipped passes, bad luck none of them are resulting in a pick. Cracking a barrel aged stout. Those tend to be good luck. Or at least make me care less.
  4. nicksaviking
    I get it, but if they run more than once every three plays, they'll go three and out every series. This team cannot run the ball behind this offensive line.
  5. nicksaviking
    For sure. But it seemed like all the negativity came from Brosmer starting. Which, yeah, ugh. My point only being the QB hasn't mattered for this team all year so swapping out QBs on this team is probably no more of a setback than swapping out any other position.
  6. nicksaviking
    Packers? Typo I presume, you meant Panthers.

    Overall with the ambiguous QB situation the Vikings are looking really bad, but I don't get all the gloom and doom about this game specifically because of Brosmer. I've vocally said if this team starts Brosmer they are in trouble from a PR perspective, and that Brosmer likely doesn't have the traits to be a starting QB in this league. But McCarthy is literally putting up all time poor numbers, so I don't get why THIS game is the one to skip or waive the white flag. If Brosmer actually plays worse than McCarthy, that means the Vikings have quite possibly played the worst two QBs in the history of the league back to back; those odds sound very unlikely.

    Four hours until we start getting scoops from “insiders” that some in the Vikings clubhouse wanted Brosmer starting over McCarthy since week 1. The scoop will be BS, but I’m expecting those reports all the same.

    The O-Line seems unable to stay healthy any year. I know it's football and every team deals with injuries, but it sure seems the Vikings have a disproportionate amount of lineman go out most years.
  11. nicksaviking
    Yeah, but all the articles are going to default to painting Seattle and Darnold in glorious light right now. Is there any scenario where Seattle personnel would say they don't believe in Darnold? And what else is the coach going to say when asked why the two bad big game losses didn't deter Seattle from signing him? I actually hope all goes well with Darnold and Seattle, it still doesn't make me regret taking a huge step back in an attempt to find a different long term QB.
  12. nicksaviking
    Sigh. I wish ALL the Twins could play against 13-year-olds. I'd put good money on them getting out of the first round of the playoffs.
  13. nicksaviking
    You think he'll trade his college buddy Chase for his college buddy Jefferson? I'd be completely on board. Vikings better hire a better O Line coach though.
  14. nicksaviking
    No way they are worse at their jobs now that it's a legal billion dollar industry. I'd guess it's somehow a way to just get more profit. Maybe they are trying to sucker in early bettors who can't help themselves, Or maybe they wanted to get some action on Seattle early because they knew it wouldn't be a hot bet when the spread go big? No clue, but I don't trust anything about this industry so I assume whatever is happening is only another scam to take more money.
  15. nicksaviking
    Ouch, three years older than originally thought? So he was 19 and lying about being 16? I can see why his offer from the Twins is so much less.
  16. nicksaviking
    For sure; I agree they are safe, if for no reason than the front office is going to want to try to prove they were right about those guys. Nothing against those two players, but I wish this team was in a better position to where they were not safe though. I don't think they'd be locks on the majority of rosters.
  17. nicksaviking
    All of these things point to KOC doing the quick release game plan which did work pretty well against Cleveland and Detroit. And while all accounts say Brosmer is a statue in the pocket and doesn't have NFL arm strength, quick reads and quick releases do seem to be his strength. If the Vikings run that game plan again, I think they'll keep it close. And I'm rarely an optimist.
  18. nicksaviking
    They had been reliable for making moves until last off season. Then they signed three players who drew no more than yawns, one of whom was on a minor league deal. Maybe others are getting different vibes, but this feels closer to last off season than the prior off seasons.
  19. nicksaviking
    Wallner might not end up being a core guy, but if both guys are basically just going to DH and only play part time in the field, I'd rather have the better hitter, which looks to be Wallner.
  20. nicksaviking
    Casas and Wallner? Half the board already wants Wallner off the roster and I'd argue Wallner is a much better hitter than Casas, while nobody likes the defense either offers.
  21. nicksaviking
    I hope so, but with no ownership resolution yet, the expiring CBA, and the existing owners historically being reactive instead of proactive, my initial take on this offseason was the Twins would most likely be sitting on their hands.
  22. nicksaviking
    Agree except I'd count nine fringe (very generous word) players, not seven. Kody Clemens for sure is fringe and unless we buy 100 plate appearances for a 30-year-old journeyman catcher, the newly acquired Alex Jackson is the definition of a fringe player. And it's frustrating, this is a rebuilding team and these are not young players. By all rights, this team shouldn't be rostering any of these nine.
  23. nicksaviking
    I think 3 for 30M sounds low. He might not be top 10 overall, but he's top 10 offensively, and offense sells. Looks like Atlanta was able to buy out three free agent years for Sean Murphy at 15M per year and he was also three years away from free agency. You might get a discount in Jeffers' last season of arbitration in 2026, but after that, I'd bet free agent years are at least 15M per.

    Gonna’ need another silent investor to pay for all this now.
