We should do a poll.  lol

They have Patrick Peterson. He's got to be licking his chops watching film this week. I've been hard on Sam and idk what the future holds but I will say boy wonder Joe Brady needs to call a good game this week and help out both his quarterback and his line or this could get ugly quick.

We *should* win this game at home. 

But the Vikings absolutely can beat us, and quite frankly I expect them to if we play like we did against the Eagles. 

All I know is the next four games are winnable: Minn-ATL-NYG-NE and we need all of them because in the last 4/8 we see TB x 2, ARI, and BUF which very well could be 0-4, maybe 1-3

Our hope is that Dalvin doesn't play and Cousins holds on to the ball too long, which he tends to do. We need pressure and turnovers. I think this was low key one of our issues on D yesterday is that the pressure wasn't there over fears of Jalen taking off, which the Eagles suck so bad they waited until 4th quarter to run read option with him. Cousin is flat footed AF, expected heavy blitzing lots of pressure b/c unless one of these NEW LEGENDARY CB'S play in this game, they gonna burn us deep if Cousins gets time.

So which Vikings DB is going to have a career day courtesy of Sam Darnold?

Once again, you're relishing in the misfortune of our players.  Its about 50% of your posts besides attacking fans cheering on the players.

Let me guess your reply:

"I rip on Darnold cause I really want to win duh duh duhhh."

Ignore back on.

You can rant and whine to the void.

    • Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.
    • Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on. 
    • Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
