  1. Not sure why there is so much talk about getting rid of T. J. He is the same player that was on pace to get 118 receptions in 2023 when Cousins was injured. Let's not throw out a great tight end just because our quarterback can't get to his second and third progressions. It's not T. J.'s fault.

  2. The noodle bar menu breakdown at the end of the episode is elite. It’s a brilliant segment. I vote that the snake draft of the week this week is best Asian restaurants.

  3. Honestly, the thing with Flores, i believe its much simpler than speculations. I believe its 100% about a Head Coach position. O'Connell isn't leaving from the sounds of it so there's not much more than a 0% chance for head coach.

    The DC position interviews are simply looks for if a path to a HC position is there.

  4. So disappointed in our GM… Let's take a LB or Safety in the first round… No even better a TE..😅
    Maybe we should spend a first round pick on a position of high demand…

  5. The drafting of Felton should be enough evidence to fire both Kwesi and KOC. Wasting a 3rd rd pick on a WR that doesn’t fit KOC’s offensive should be straw that broke the camel’s back. Felton can’t run KOC deep routes and KOC has ZERO interest in doing anything else. He doubled down on this in the last press conference, so why did they draft Felton???????????

  6. The problem with a rookie productivity rank is that teams with lots of holes will naturally score higher. The Vikings had few needs in 22 and 23. Kwesi brought in an amazing FA class in 24. Rookie productivity isn’t much of an indicator of draft success. Who signs a second contract anywhere in the NFL is probably a better one.

    Overall though, construct a competitive roster. Kwesi has done that. Vikings were a playoff team if KOC wasn’t such a terrible OC that refused to adjust for personnel and defensive scheme untill 2/3rds of the season was gone.

    If Vikings fire only one, it should be KOC. Prediction: Flores walks and KOC is fired midseason after failing to have success with his kickass offense. Wilfs repeat the Tomlin/Childress mistake from 20 years ago.

  7. Commented last July that he should be traded. He still has the same spots and less value. Anything of value is better than the headaches. This one will get worse not better.

  8. F*ck it guys. We’re in a downward spiral, let’s just spin the wheel and draft a whole new team, coaches and all. Worst case: we’ll land in the place we were going to be anyway. I’m tired boss. Tired of playing the salvage game.

  9. For those thinking Flores may be using coaching job prospects as “leverage”, I believe he is too serious of a guy to play that game. He works his game to win. But like a team of horses with one horse pulling most of the weight and the other horse sluffing intentionally until slapped with the lines, I interpret the KOC offense will be pretty much intentionally the original way KOC started 2025. If I were Flores, I would put my efforts into a team offering an offense pulling weight equal to his defense in a run more likely to get to the SB sooner. Before I die! I don’t see the reason to stay with the Vikings. Thank KOC’s stubbornness if Flores leaves.

  10. If keeping Brian Flores is a problem because someone else in the Viking hierarchy, get rid of that cancer. Who needs them, they aren't contributing to wins. In truth, Brian Flores is one of the best coaches in all of football and has everything to do with winning. Do everything in your power to keep him. Period.

  11. Why hasn’t any assistant coach been fired yet?? Special teams guy? Offensive line guy?? Absolutely no excuse to keep these guys around. Bradbury leaves, he’s better. Ingraham leaves, he’s better. Cleveland gets traded away, he gets better…… notice anything?? Special teams was terrible this year! Get rid of these guys! Damn!!

  12. The Addison thing is frustrating but we should not give up on him! He has got us out of some sticky situations resulting in games won. He has had some drops lately.. I think he deserves one more chance to be a viking! Staying late at a Casino doesnt warrant a trade imo. If he screws up after that then yeah. Lastly i pray we hang onto Flores.! If this offense can catch up to our defense we will be unstoppable.! Flores put some time in and the results speak.! 2026 could be our year! SKOL!!!🏈🏈💨💨
