    Pick 92: Jalen Milroe

    Can you read NFL defenses? Probably not. But you are probably better at it than Milroe. Even so, his terrible ability to assess and react to defenses, his piss poor accuracy, and all the rest...aren't the main problem. The problem is that he is a massive risk. The stuff I was hearing about...

    Pick 92: Jalen Milroe

    Ick. I wouldn't pick him with the last pick of the 7th. Hopefully, he doesn't destroy the locker room like the people at Bama accuse him of.

    Darnold Contract Details

    It seems like a good contract. Denver signed a high-priced FA QB to a big deal...before even finding if he worked well on the team. He didn't. It was a disaster. So, I was understandably perplexed when it looked like we did a 3-year deal for a good amount, with no clarity on whether Darnold...

    Cooper Kupp signed

    Its pretty harsh comparing the guy to an STD, even if he has lost a step. My concern is that it looks like we now have 2 slot receivers. Do we need 2? But maybe he has a plan. And Kupp at even 70% is still a damn good player.

    John Schneider is doing it again

    Unsure. I don't like many of the FAs out there. Then again, I don't get paid millions to build a team roster. The problem is JS lost the benefit of the doubt. Saying 'there was nothing out there to fill the holes with' isn't an excuse. He had years to fill some of those holes, he just failed at...

    John Schneider is doing it again

    I'm at the 'need to see results' stage. We knew what our weaknesses were. We then made moves to create more weaknesses. But we rolled the dice on some players that were often injured, in the hope they can produce again like when healthy. We went with a backup QB in the past, and it worked out...

    Your Mood Meter....

    Disappointed but aware this coming year was likely not going to be great for us. Geno worked out better than hoped/expected. Maybe lightning strikes twice but hope is usually something clung to by people that failed to plan correctly. We will see.

    Darnold Works

    That's still 3 years you are stuck w Darnold. Doesn't he fold under pressure like an IKEA deck chair? Will giving him a worse line and much worse offense help that?

    My darnold prediction

    How many ex Viking QBs are going to put up big numbers in MN and then suck after they leave it? My big bet is that Daniel Jones balls out and then becomes the 2nd coming of Kirk Cousins. It's like drafting a Texas Tech QB because they put up big numbers in college. Sure...you MIGHT get a...

    Darnold Works

    Figured some team would be stupid enough to give Darnold a big contract. Wish it wasn't us but whatever.

    Rising From The Ashes

    That depends. Are you talking about the Darnold on the Vikes? Or the Darnold we would get? (Think his time with the Jets) But no, Howell is likely terrible. Which is why I thought he might get us a chance to get a top 10, if not top 5, draft pick....

    Rising From The Ashes

    You are correct. I admitted this. Few expected Geno to do near as well here (myself included). 1. How much of this was Carroll 'fixing the QB"? (Check Carroll's record, for as much of a reputation as a 'CB-whisperer' he has...he seems to be as much, if not more successful as a 'QB-whisperer'...

    Rising From The Ashes

    Sam Howell couldn't start for the Browns. or he could, but he would look like the kind of QB that would start for the Browns. Admittedly, he is a better choice than Darnold if he doesn't make much because at least you can get a terrible record with him. Potentially a chance at a top QB in the...

    Seahawks Targeting Sam Darnold

    Well if you wanted to destroy any hope for the coming season...signing Darnold to a big contract would be a great way to do it. Didn't the Jets have Darnold and a great Defense? Is our goal to replicate that?

    Geno traded!

    I like Dart but he is hot or cold. Can be great one game, miss everything the next. But Darnold on this team would be a flaming disaster. Geno was not perfect, almost the league leader in interceptions, but under pressure he produced more than he failed. Darnold is good when things are steady...

    Geno traded!

    Good lord. This team is trying to become the West Coast version of the pre-Aaron Jets team. I shudder that we are even thinking of Sam Darnold. (Maybe he will surprise me, Geno did. But to be honest, YOU could put up big #s as the QB for the Vikings...that WR group makes anyone look good...

    Myles Garret Requests a Trade

    If you hate the Steelers, that was an amazing moment. Any defensive player that tries to kill an opponent gets extra points from me. I loved guys like Browner and Burfict for the same reason. Embracing Your Hatred is a great motivator.

    Poll- Tougher loss on you, XL or XLIX?

    I quit watching the NFL for almost 5 years after XL. Didn't even start watching again until we got Lynch in a trade. Skipped every SB after XL unitl 2011 for the same reason. The other loss was on us. We screwed up. But XL was a robbery..a farce. Kind of like this coming SB will be

    Are you boycotting the super bowl?

    People thought that about the Bills game. Nope. The NFL wants Mahomes to be the next Tom Brady. And it will bend or break rules to do it. They are desperately trying to recreate an Air Jordan type of 3peat mystique. But it doesn't work because viewers can see it too. It won't matter...

    Are you boycotting the super bowl?

    Chiefs had help at least 3, maybe 4, times during the regular season at the end of the games. Likely they lose 2 if not 3, but for that help. Which means they never would had home field without the help. (Not counting all the obvious penalties NFL refs overlooked on the Chiefs but called on...
