****Official Minnesota Vikings Thread****

[JmanTheJuiceman]

Zimmer being on the hotseat would be the most Minnesotan thing ever lmao, the dude just about singlehandedly turned the franchise around. With all the OL injuries/failures idk how you pin this season on Zimmer. His defense is just about the only bright spot this season haha

Exactly, Zimmer needs to figure some things out, he is learning. Hopefully he sees we can't patch the Oline like he though he could the last couple years.

Who is better than Zimmer that is out there? McCarthy? AMeyer9 might bandwagon another team if that happened.

[FOSteven]

If you "truly believe that", you're confirmed 100% retarded.

None of you post in here, not hard to post more than Vikings fans.


As far as this weekend, your guess is as good as mine. The Vikings will either completely crumble and **** the bed the rest of the year, or get their **** together finally. Depends which Kirk Cousins shows up. iirc Miami's secondary is (or at least was) leading in turnovers.

I don't think anyone knows what to expect. But if you guys completely **** the bed and go 6-9-1 Zimmer might be on the hot seat.

Zimmer won't be on the hot seat. Do you seriously think this season defines what he's done with the Vikings? I know you're a Green Bay fan but come on man.

night and day difference and it's only halfway through the first quarter

[sFunk]

Stefanski doing things Tom Brady dreams he could do against the Dolphins

[drock2190]

Looks like the same ****ty offense to me! But then again, I tuned in after the 21 points they scored.

[BaronOBeefDerp]

Good god this team gets shook way too easily.

[Evolutionary1]

there is hope it seems...

Lmfao

I can't believe people think Kirk wasn't worth the price paid. Look at the Redskins, they've been trying to draft QB's and have been a dumpster fire basement team for 25 years. You have to pay a QB in the league. Kirk's contract will seem like a bargain in a few years.

[Vikes723]

offense felt super free today, lets see if we can just take care of business. Our fate is in our hands. Not sure why or what happened the 2nd and 3rd quarter but man the defense was smothering the fins. Nice win

[BaronOBeefDerp]

Holy fuking **** that hail mary

[Keith10Stone]

Don’t care if they win, this team is still pathetic.

[Berts]

Holy fuking **** that hail mary

It’s not Erin ******* worthy but we will take it.

Really wish Wentz was healthy today, we could have clinched

[shyheimz]

Up

Vikes control their own destiny, hope they can make it.

[Madvillainy]

it's reached the point where it's just expected now. any big situation they fall short. o-line needs a massive overhaul.

[Berts]

Same crap different year. Zimmer and Rick will bring in guys and keep moving forward on paper which is good. After watching Kirk for an entire year, I'm not sold on him for big games. He continues to crumble, look scared, he has no pocket awareness. Lots of times he could have stepped up and made a throw or side step away from the pressure. Hopefully we can get a good oline and give him more time but I'm not sold that will fix his head.

Where you guys at? Been a quiet offseason with zero money to spend.

What's the consensus on Josh Kline?
Was hoping they could restructure the Griffen and Rudolph contracts EDIT just saw Griffen restructured. Awesome. Should probably just give this money to Theilen
Not too excited about the Barr contract
Not disappointed to see Sandejo leave. Harris should do just fine in his place
I thought Richardson helped us last year. Would have liked to see him back

What will they target in the draft? OL, DT, RB, DE?

Target OL, DT, and TE in draft.

Don't know much about Kline, but Spielman's OL pickups in free agency typically suck (see guys like Remmers, Boone, and Andre Smith in the past).

Think they still have time to restructure Rudolph.

Thielen started last year off hot (8 straight 100 yard games), but then really cooled off in the 2nd half (only 1 game over 80 yards in the final 8 games). He is under contract through 2020 at the moment, so nothing he can really do after that slow finish to the year when we really needed him to step up. My guess is they wait another year to restructure his contract, but he'll be 30 years old by then so who knows..........

First round pick I can see being either OL, TE or DT depending on who falls to us. If Ed Oliver falls all the way to 18 I think they will take him in a heart beat. Then I guess it will depend on which OL is left depending on if a they start going off quick. I've seen mocks have 5-7 go early and then some where Williams falls all the way to us at 18 or even Taylor. I'd be fine with a couple of the OL prospects or even grabbing TJ Hockenson if he falls to us at 18. That was next year we can cut Ruddy and save on some cap space there. I'm sure we will grab 2 OL in this draft as we only have 2 guards right now on roster.

[BLehner123]

Anyone else hoping that Williams falls to us at 18? I don't like many of the other OL besides Dillard. Wonder if we will trade up to try and secure Williams if not I hope TJ falls to us at 18 and then we trade Ruddy and our second for the Pats 32nd overall pick and grab whatever OL is still on the board. Would clear some cap space.. maybe just trade Waynes or Rhodes for a second and grab another OL.. Whatever we do we need to grab a couple OL..

Pretty classic Spielman draft IMO. 1 or 2 good picks (Bradbury, Irv Smith) and the rest is basically all garbage. We'll see....

I like the Samia pick and I think Mattison will surprise us. The WR from Oregon might make the team. But yeah 7 picks in the last two rounds was a bit overkill lol.

Especially given the fact that his track record of actually finding talent in the 6th or 7th round is horrendous.

Agreed on the Samia pick (forgot about him, he had a 2nd round grade per some sources). Didn't like the Mattison pick at all. Use a 3rd rounder on him when you can just pick up someone like Elijah Holyfield as an undrafted free agent?

I'm surprised Zimmer let Spielmen us the first 3 picks on offensive players... I do like the Smith pickup though.. Rudolph failed to get yards after catch and I think this TE gives up more dynamic at the position... hopefully he's ready to learn how to block better though.

Yeah we’ll see how Mattison turns out, he can move pretty well for 220 though. A lot of people are saying that he’s supposed to be Kubiak’s Arian Foster or something.

Guarantee you the ZimZam was pounding the table for Greedy Williams in the 2nd lmao

I mean, at least you didn't select Jahlani Tavai in the beginning of 2nd round.
