Shawn-O Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 Hot take: we’re going to see Jordan Love in this game before Kellen Mond. That to me is outrageous. Quote

rochsioux Posted January 8, 2022 Posted January 8, 2022 I’m confused as to why the Vikings are going to start Cousins against the Bears. Let one of the backups get some playing time as a loss will give them a better slot in the draft. Also, why risk an injury to Cousins when the game is meaningless ? An injury might impact next years team if you are planning to keep him. If you want to explore trade options, again playing him is nonsensical. There is absolutely no upside to him playing, only downside. 2 Quote

Are you suggesting that the Vikings sit as many starters as possible? All of your points (better off losing, injury could hurt next year's value) would apply equally to any of the starters I would imagine. Quote

There is absolutely no upside to him playing, only downside. It is because Zimmer is still coaching and he likely knows he is gone after tomorrow anyway so what does he care how it sets up for the next guy. If ownership was smarter they would have made the call on Zimmer a few weeks ago and told whoever they gave the interim title to they were to look at young guys the rest of the way and give them opportunities. A Denver win today would've been nice for draft positioning. A loss really would beneficial as I think the Vikes can be anywhere from like 9-16 in the draft with a big logjam of teams together right now. Here is hoping the players have seen all the reports that Zim is gone and they show up tomorrow with one foot out the door already giving a terrible effort. Quote

Really no use in playing Cook, especially given his injury history. Wouldn’t play Jefferson either. Totally meaningless game, much less meaningful than the last exhibition game where they tend to bench most of the starters. At least in the exhibition you could be trying to work out all the kinks before the season starts so you don’t lay of big egg in the opener. Quote
SiouxScore Posted January 9, 2022 Posted January 9, 2022 Bears leaving all those points on the field is coming back to haunt us. Goddamnit Vikings just took the lead. Quote
Fighting Sioux 23 Posted January 9, 2022 Posted January 9, 2022 Looking like the win will cost the Vikings two spots in the draft. If current results hold (Dolphins and Saints winning) Vikings will draft 12th. A loss would have had them in the 10 spot. Not that big of a difference. Quote

Any nasty O-Line going to around that spot potentially? Quote

Vikings have a ton of needs and it feels weird to say this but I don't think OL is near the top right now. Definitely need a RG and could use an upgrade at C but the rest of the line is pretty set. Meanwhile you will have starting spots open at S, CB, Nickel, 2 LBs, DT, and DE although I think a few of those will have to be filled by guys just moving up the depth chart and getting an opportunity because of the Vikes cap situation. Like DT and DE I could see giving Watts and Wilekes an opportunity as they've been solid in limited time. Have to think this roster is gonna look drastically different. Quote
crb1 Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 Well the season is officially over for the Vikings. Any ideas of who you think if Zimmer does get fired, who would be the coach that they hire. My idea is it could be Doug Peterson or Eric Bieniemy, what do others think? Quote

Definitely feel like we should bring an offensive minded coach. Kellen Moore would be at the top of my wishlist right now. Quote
rochsioux Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 I think they’ll go the college route and hire Bubba. 1 Quote

I agree with that this roster is going to look really different next year. However... they need to answer the $45 million dollar question. First off, lets see what happens tomorrow to Zim and Rick.

SiouxScore Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 Vikings decided to clean house wish while I'm a little surprised I'm happy with. Surprised because it had seemed like they would keep Spielman around in some capacity but I think the completely fresh start is best off. Quote
sioux24/7 Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 Vikings hiring Kwesi Adolfo-Mensah. Hell yeah! Quote

OK, let see Vikings want to complete 2nd interview with Poles and Mensah. Chicago jumps in line and signs Poles. The Viking say OK, I guess we will hire Mensah - no 2nd interview required. So, the Vikes just handed the job to a guy with the following: 1) Commodities trader. 2) Sports background - Basketball 3) Ivy League and Stanford education - can it get any worse. 4) 8 years NFL front office experience. He is going to pack the front office with Ivy League personal. What could go wrong with this - sounds like a great plan. Hope it works out. Quote
