Like the state the mn vikings organization is soft
This could be Brad Childress/Mike Tomlinson part 2.
Gigantic hole in Juds take in Kwesi. Is Tai bad or is it the use of the QB? Why would he expect Tai to look good when the best WR in the league had a bad year?
But DID they whiff on Ed Ingram? He seems to be playing at a near All Pro level with the Texans. It’s seems to me coaching was the problem.
They need a Robert Smith we’re running back
BFlo isn't getting hired as HC until he drops the suit. My source is a former pro and lifelong friend. He won't get HC until he capitulates.
Also, fans calling for Mike for OC isn't happening. Wes got an extension. KOC isn't giving up play calling. Plus, they can't afford it. Wilfs have wasted money and aren't paying for coordinators. Watch why BFlo leaves, like the guys say, nothing about football.
Why are we not talking about Daronte Jones? He's been here 5 years, and would run a similar scheme we have with BFlo or Raheem who is just as aggressive and a DC genius.
They need to get rid of Kwesi. There are only 2 franchises with worse cap situations which are the Browns and the Cowboys. At least they draft guys though, Kwesi misses every fricking year. Thor makes key points why Kewsi needs to go. You can't keep doing this and expect any sustainability long term.
A Flores and McDaniels coaching pair in any iteration (including KOC staying as HC) would be amazing! I would even be excited for K. Murray as QB of that happened!
I'll go ahead and provide you with why his opinion changed…Cuz JJ is immature and sucks.
People that think Flores would be a good head coach hire aren’t paying attention. People that think Flores wouldn’t be the best DC aren’t paying attention. People that that think being a Good coordinator makes an attractive head coach are what mess up the works.
If the internal people don’t like BFlo, then fire the internal people.
Pay HEAD COACH MONEY TO KEEP BFLO
Vikings management is total trash. They keep a mediocre offensive head coach, look at his stats, and gets rid of a defensive coach that produces. Fück the Wilfs.
Avieon Terrell, Kenyon Sadiq or Delane.
This session is such a relief from your repetitive "chatter" on the quarterback position.
SHOULD HAVE KEPT DARNOLD. FLORES LEAVING WAS OBVIOUS AND MEANT WIN NOW.
100% Grigson has to go. I'm indifferent on Kwesi. I like him but there have been a lot of bad things. While we don't know exactly how the decision making tree works for the Vikings, Grigson is the FOOTBALL GUY. He also has a horrible track record as a GM. There is no scenario in which he should be employed here.
It seems Flores doesn’t want to be here.He could have signed a contract this week to be the D/C and if he gets a head coaching job so be it.If he doesn’t get a head coaching job and takes another D/C job elsewhere that shows he was never interested being here in the future.
Really nothing surprising about it. When you run from cops, and try and hit them with your SUV. Well you probly going to get shot. She has been obstructing law enforcement all day. She did it in every state that ICE, or HLS is in. She was a paid protester. She fucked around and found out.
This is the same organization making the same mistakes year after year decade after decade…. Why Can't This ownership group seem to figure any of this out? Why did we let the #1 seeded qb in the NFC this year leave? And if you drafted this guy to be your qb and a year and a half two years later you can't even commit to him, why are we okay with this? There are so many things that have gone wrong in this organization over the last 12 months it's insane and yet all of these people still have their jobs and are trusted to somehow lead us to a Super Bowl??!! I don't see that happening, 2026 could be a disastrous year and probably the most important QB draft coming up in 27 since 24!! Honestly what are we doing? How did we go from so hopeful and optimistic a year ago to this point that we're at right now? Who's to blame for the drafting? Who's to blame for the lack of development on offense? This is Cleveland Brown New York Jets stuff. But I guess if you think about it those teams have more playoff wins than we do in the last 20 years so I guess that's who we are…. until the Wilfs can step aside or higher a head of football operations a proven commodity this is what we get every single year and we deserve better
Great show, thanks guys 👍beef up the lines 💪!
I pay for my own PFF Draft simulator. And I can tell you unequivocally in the three years that I have used that and all the mock drafts that I've done just by watching some college football games and listening to guys like Thor. I have out drafted the Minnesota Vikings tenfold. If I can do that sitting at my house on my laptop every year consistently tell me why the Vikings can't do that. All of the information is there for everyone!! Luke McCaffrey, Carson Schwessinger, Bech, the list goes on and on and we get Thi Felton?! Come on it's embarrassing….. and one last caveat the Kansas City Chiefs lost every game after Mahomes went down and probably on purpose to improve their draft position. As a general manager in probably your last year , what was the purpose of winning those games at the end of the season?! That also affects every subsequent round after that too. This team just doesn't get it
24:43 Who do I believe, about the TE's chipping…. Kurt Warner the HOF QB who played, or Judd? hmmmmm 🤔🤔🤔🤔 That's a tough one.
The real interesting thing is, the play's that they didn't chip, where actually successful. Play the tape old man!
Seems like Tim Walz is running this organization
🌈 team
Per an A.I. search
Contract Status: As of early January 2026, Flores' contract was expiring, creating uncertainty, but the draft pick rule applies if he leaves for a head coaching role, regardless of contract specifics.
Why do people think Flores is the answer to win a Super Bowl? Only 2 defensive head coaches turned head coaches have ever won a Super Bowl; Belichek and Pete Carroll.
You can't advocate for Coaching input on the draft and then blame some of those choices on Kwesi.
Judd going after Kewsi this off season.
Yeah they "have" jefferson but they have to do what they did week 18 and find any possible way they can to get him the ball, hes a game changer no matter how covered he is and they can still get him involved on plants, screens, or pop passes still so there's really no excuse not to get 18 the ball no matter who is at QB
