Do they understand that prior performance usually is predictive of future outcomes?
Playoffs haven't even started and they are already hoisting the Lombardi for next year. Typical. What was their draft score this past year? A+ and a guaranteed SB run?
I swear.... Vikings fans. Like no other people on the planet.
Their team isn't even in this year's playoffs, and they're already expecting to be next year's champion.
That's beyond insanity. I'm not even sure bizarre is an apt description.
While the Queens always, always suck.
For 1 day at least they suck just a little less ...
But but, I was told he was going to rescue them from their sucky dline by introducing a 5 man line.
Probably on a flight to Dallass as we post.
Here's a dose of irrational optimism....
I imagine Jaymo has to be twisting in the wind right now. Packers are the #1 seed and were on a roll at the end of the season. It's gotta be tough to come up with scenarios in your mind that make this a poor season for Green Bay.
I have been saying for a while that the Vikings passed twice on QB Jordan Love in last years NFL draft. I need to fess up and correct myself. I decided to who else passed twice on Love - in the process I found out some things. It is true that the Vikings had two picks in the first round. But one was AFTER the Packers picked Love. LAC picked a QB earlier in the first round. So although they had 2 first round picks, they did not need to use one on Love. The teams that did have 2 first round picks and passed on Love (or any other QB) are, JAX, LVR, and MIA.
Time will tell if that is as significant as the Vikes TWICE passing on Rodgers...
are these donuts making an actual career out of evaluating someone else's evaluations? asking for a friend, hope the answer is that it is just a hobby.
He is living in an alternate reality
Dalvin Cook had a phenomenal season. As did Jefferson. Yet they still only won 7 games and very easily could have lost games against Jax, Carolina, and Detroit later in the year. The fact they didn’t makes their 2020 season even more laughable because had they just mailed it in after the Cowboys loss they would have gotten a top 5-7 pick. Instead, they are picking 14th. And they don’t have a second rounder.
The Vikings are closer to a rebuild than a contending job. They very well may turn the page with Harrison Smith and Kyle Rudolph and Anthony Barr in the offseason. Riley Reiff is likely a cap casualty. Eric Wilson and Anthony Harris are UFAs. So they could have to replace several starting positions yet again in 2021.
That team is a mess from top to bottom and honestly do they look at drafting a QB and just tank next season? They still can’t release Kurt Cuzhestinks due to the cap hit so I’d expect more of the same next season. 6-8 wins but not much else.

It's the same thing they cry about every year:
The refs.
Via a league conspiracy, of course.

Let me try ……………
The Packers started the season with everyone – AND I MEAN EVERYONE – the national media and our Viking fans among them – saying that GB needed to draft a WR, an ILB, and a hunk of a DL guy to stop the run. GB failed miserably on all accounts. Instead, GB drafted a first round QB, a running back, a TE, and three OL men – none of which they needed – and all of which made AR mad, the Packer offense inept, and their defense a sieve. And now here we are, the Packers STILL haven’t won a super bowl since 2011, Rodgers STILL has only one WR, the run STILL hasn’t been plugged, the Packers STILL haven’t won a playoff game (this year), and the Packers HC STILL hasn’t won the coveted “Coach of The Year” award. The Packers should get rid of the bum and start rebuilding immediately. 13-3 is nothing. It still adds up to 16 like our 7-9 record.
I took a shit this morning that has more personality than Jaymo.
Did it have a smoke show dingle berry?
And a 10K guitar?
Viking lose their best talent evaluator to the Broncos who becomes their new GM.
Per ESPN :
Paton is widely considered among the top talent evaluators on the Vikings' personnel staff, and his exit leaves Minnesota with a big void in the front office. Ryan Monnens, the current director of pro scouting, could be in line to replace Paton this offseason.
What? I thought Spieldope was the brains in that operation.

So, was he the one who helped them choose Jefferson or the one who told them to mortgage the future on Cousins?
Viking fans are all celebrating the 3 year anniversary of the "Minneapolis Miracle" today.
But, today is also the 20th anniversary of 41-0........
Ok, I know he isn't a Viking anymore but this is fuckin hilarious.....

Like I said when talking about Kenny Ruettgers on another thread, this is not uncommon. These guys aren't Warren Buffett.
What a rollercoaster ride: a fast trip to the heights, a faster fall, a slow climb partway up and up, and now another fast downhill tumble. AP's life looks like it may end up in a heap at the bottom...

They need to fix water leakage in the facility's moisture barriers.
Pay for it with the revenue from electronic pull-tabs.
The Stapler is SO appropriate to the Vikes.
Looks good on paper, actual performance... not so much.
I think the solution is very simple - just rename the stadium. Call it "US Bank Sieve". That way if water gets in the stadium, or if the stadium is a money pit, or if US Bank loses their clients money, it will live up to it's name.
Just tell fans to bring rain gear to every game - thus transferring the burden of protection against the elements.
I think Diggs was thinking, "Fuck, I got out of Minnesota so I wouldn't have to deal with that shit, but here I still am!"
