It was easy to see early in the season this Vikings team wasn't a true contender with the defense and Donatell. It was severely flawed in a few areas but really didn't try to alter things in season and let the wins cover up the deficiencies.
13 wins and a NFC North Championship is absolutely a overachievement when looking at this team for me. I did think they could sneak by the Giants but it was ending in San Francisco next week barring a series of miracles. This loss isn't really surprising and really doesn't even hurt that much.
Gotta imagine a ton of changes both in personnel and staff. Some long tenured guys that we could've seen the last of in a Viking jersey today unless they redo their contracts Hunter, Kendricks, H. Smith, Peterson, Thielen, Cook.
Man that schedule next year Chargers, Chiefs, Niners, @ Eagles, @ Bengals.-

This just isn't a very good hockey team and it starts with not having a capable D1 goalie on the roster. Scored enough to win but dzone is a problem and you won't win many college hockey games when your goaltender allows a weak goal let alone 3.
Berry is now gonna have the program at a point of missing 3 of the last 5 NCAA Tournaments which just isn't remotely close to good enough. It is time to make the move.

Thought James had a tough night so not surprised to see him out tonight but thought Matteo did some good things so not a fan of yanking him out of the lineup again.
Johnson getting the start to night feels like the desperation move of nothing else has worked so lets give it a try. Almost like you are hoping he can lead a miracle run to the NCAA Tournament and it would be a great story but to me it is more a indictment on where this program is at in the moment and it isn't a good place.

I find it odd that DeRidder has a bad game and then doesn't see the net again for so long. I'm not saying he should, but it must be an interesting situation to lead the coaches to these decisions.
He has had a good game here or there but he has been largely bad in his opportunities as well. Looks a lot like the guy I watched at Michigan State, was hoping a better team in front of him would make a difference but not really.

I don't care how they got him back I'd rather have Correa than not and a 6 year deal for 200 isn't bad at all. Looking at the roster I have to think more is coming. The logical guy I see moving is Kepler. Maybe you build a package with him and one of the young starters like Ober or Winder and a prospect to target a top of the rotation pitcher.

Way to help out your old team Lovie!
Probably the last thing he does as a head coach.

If you are the Bears.....
What do you do now?
Trade the pick... or trade Fields?
Trade down a few spots for a good haul and probably take one of the top defensive players or if you trade to more 10-15 range get the top WR. Fields needs a lot of help and should get it with the amount of cap space Chicago has as well.

Survived a dangerous weekend with nothing to gain and everything to lose. Honestly not much that good that I take from this weekend. Strinden is really playing well and solidifying a role going forward. Would also like to Costantini stick in the lineup seems like he has been in and out every other game.

Hughes may be the most overrated hockey player I've ever seen. A defenseman that is always the worst player on the ice defensively as soon as he touches the ice.

Could tell the way today was gonna go when they didn’t get a TD off the punt block and then immediately gave up a return TD.
No way 49ers lose to Cardinals so Vikes will be the 3 and get Giants might as well rest guys at Chicago next week. I’d much rather face the Giants than Lions or Packers. Would’ve been fine getting Seahawks too. Don’t think it matters much where it is if Vikes have to face 49ers I don’t like the chances.

It would have been just as easy to tell CJ to just run the ball himself 3 times. That first pass he threw nearly got picked off and he nearly got sacked on the 2nd one.
True although he hadn't really ran at all coming into the game yesterday which was something that frustrated Ohio State fans. The first pass went right off that WRs hands and almost got picked, guy has to catch that.

It was. The playcalling was very suspect on those last two plays. They did not need to throw it. Run the ball... twice.
QB draw anyone?
Their success came through the air all night or with Stroud scrambling. I hated the 1st down run because it is easy for Georgia to see coming. Ohio State had been using their h-back as the RB on the final drive for blocking and brought in their RB for that play, they were also down to their 3rd RB. I was looking for the slip screen that they have success with. The three huge plays/moments in that game for me were Ohio State TE just moving forward for a illegal shift when they picked up the 4th and 1 from their own 35ish and having to punt instead, Smart being granted the timeout to negate the Ohio State fake punt, and Harrison getting knocked out of the game in the 3rd quarter.

D group/goaltending is a little concerning to me moving forward in this tournament

Vikings head to Lambeau Sunday with a chance to dagger the Packers playoff hopes

Is the Russell Wilson trade in the top 5 worst trades of all time list?
Yes
Seahawks are gonna come out looking great. Got their young LT in Cross who looks like he could be there a long time and Mafe who looks like he can develop into a nice pass rusher with the two high picks this past draft plus a decent backup QB in Lock, a TE in Fant who has loads of potential and a solid DL in Harris. Then they are gonna add to that a top 5 1st rounder and 2nd rounder this year. Probably will have their choice of one of the 2 QBs in Stroud and Young or a couple great DL/Edge in Carter and Anderson.

Chicago will be better ton of cap room+some high draft picks and imagine they'll trade one for even more picks. Detroit should be the favorite to win the division. Vikings don't have to go full reset but they're gonna have to tweak things especially defensively and a big part of that will be the big name guys either renegotiating their deals or being cut. Hunter, Smith, and Kendricks especially they just don't produce what they are paid. Vikings have to get faster defensively, their front 7 had to be the slowest in the NFL.
