Vikes have the better and ascending defense. Better HC. A GM who will make moves to improve team other than relying on just draft and UDFA's. They have the better running game. We have the better QB and WR if Jordy Nelson is back to form.

Minnesota added Treadwell who many thought was the best WR in the draft but fell due to poor 40 time. Paired with Diggs and Charles Johnson and Rudloph at TE they have a budding young WR corps.

Week 2 will tell everyone a lot about who the power in this division is going to be this season. I would say it's pretty close to 50-50 as to who is the better team.

Plus, as has been noted the Vikings aren't staying the same ore getting worse. They're getting better. Not so sure I can say the same for us.



Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

LOL, Dakota! No. I figure if I make one post once in a blue moon I can't get suspended.

Of course, I think my one suspension was ludicrous but it isn't my site so what I think doesn't matter. When I have my own site, then what I think will matter and what everyone else thinks, too.

I think one Dakota goes an awful long way, here. You must feel like the one voice crying in the wilderness.

Okay, you talked me into it. Maybe, two posts a day. 🙂 I should be safe as long as I don't try stretching to 3. Bad things happen in 3's. 🤣

He and nearly everyone else understands this and somehow you continue to be obtuse. 🤷


While I'm not a Moderator, can I ask we get back to the topic because I personally am enthralled with reading what others are thinking about the Vikings perceived uprising. You hear about Adrian Peterson saying most feel the Vikings are few years away from contending for Super Bowl and his response was "Wait, just wait, this is the year". Unless Teddy Bridgewater can pull off some 2000 Trent Dilfer type of luck/fortune, I just don't see it.

If you want to end that garbage, then quit letting them even discuss subjects like sexual orientation and race. It'll all take care of itself.

The Vikings don't have the quarterback in place to be a serious contender yet.

I do think they are a few steps behind the Packers yet, although, I could be ... bias. 😂

Just because a bunch of people agree with each other doesn't mean they are WRONG.

Anyway.....my hope is that the Vikings keep being the Vikings, and choke away another season. I STILL can't believe their kicker missed that field goal in the playoffs last season.

I feel like the Vikings are doing a great job with their drafting and their back 7 on defense have the raw potential to be the best in the entire NFL (not saying they'll be able to make the most of that raw potential, as they haven't been able to yet) and they seem to have upgraded their OL this offseason to help out Peterson and Bridgewater. The Vikings could make a Super Bowl push if they get the DL going and offense playing smart and together.
Fan Shout
Zero2Cool (13h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (17h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (17h) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (18h) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (18h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (18h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (18h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (18h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (18h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (18h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (18h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (18h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (19h) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (19h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (19h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (19h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (21h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (21h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (21h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
