Hypothetical:

Vikings out of playoffs but play Seattle in last game of year. Viking win gets Packers a bye and home field.

Skol!!!!!!!

Glad it's a hypothetical situation! I hope the Packers do not need anything like this to unfold, in order to get a bye and home field advantage. I will root for the Packers to do what's necessary to win and not hope for any kind of purple help, whatsoever. If the vikings know that a win over Seattle would help the Packers, they would lose the game, out of spite.

In the Seattle game, the vikings ran into an O Line that was worse than their own. So, Wilson was pressured by what goes for a vikings pass rush. The DBs for Seattle were also similar in talent to the vikings DBs. The difference was the QBs. Russ Wilson is, head and shoulders, better than Kark, will ever be. This purple ftw guy wants to dump all the viking coaches, dump Kark, and gets down on the front office for their draft planning. Typical fair weather viking fan. I, for one, love their coaches and hope they stay in Minnesota. I love that they overpaid for mediocrity, at QB.  I love that their front office screws them over in the draft and in FA, by not re-signing any of their DL studs that made their Defense a manageable unit. They are the vikings! Long may they flounder! SKOL!!!!!

That's the move of a coach and GM who have ZERO fear of being fired. Why keep your only quality pass rusher to try and make anything out of this season when you can accumulate picks? If the draft were today the Vikings literally traded pick 37 for pick 91 (mid-2nd round value difference) to rent Yannick for 4 sacks! Even for the Vikings that's bad!

The good news is there's no way the Vikings are ditching Cousins this year or next year. They would have a $41M dead cap hit for '21 if they ditched Cousins in this offseason. He's their QB next year, but after that I assume he's a goner. His dead cap number is only $10M in '22, that's more manageable especially if you start a rookie or 2nd year QB (Trevor Lawrence).

Ravens are pairing Ngakoue with former teammate Calais Campbell Watch Ngakoue's sacks and pressures on QBs go up.

The tank goes on...

@RapSheet: #Vikings star Danielle Hunter is having surgery to clean up a herniated disc, knocking him out for 2020, per me & @TomPelissero. MIN has a decision this offseason: Make Hunter the highest-paid defender in football or trade him. Have we seen the last of him in a Vikings uniform👀

Assuming it is not career ending.
