Wonder how much influence Kubiak had with drafting Bradbury and Samia last year? I wonder how much input he'll have in the drafting of offensive linemen in this year's draft...? If we know the offensive line is the biggest weakness on the team, and it's holding back our offense, surely Kubiak knows that as well. Does anyone know how involved Kubiak was in Denver's front office?

I was trying to think of something to post, but you’ve expressed my thoughts perfectly. It’s going to be a while before I care about this team. My interest this season was minimal and now it’s in negative numbers. Good grief, you have six days to prepare for a well rested top seed team, traveling from as far south As you can be, back to Minnesota, then going as far west as you can go, and your OC is off interviewing for another job? I was so sure of the outcome that I watched a whole 2 minutes. From Kendrick’s pick to the field goal to the kneel down before half. Hey, at least I go into the off-season with my last memories being good ones. My interest in the Vikings was high after hiring Zimmer, but it’s been dwindling every year. Like PurpleChillPill says - they don’t give you a reason to care. I guess we have no money to make a “splash” in free agency. Have fun with your mock drafts. It’s not my cup of tea. I know, I know, why do you hang around this forum if you don’t do mock drafts. Well the quality and knowledge of forum members can’t be beat. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and analysis. At times it’s more fun than watching the games. Catch up with you again, maybe in April, or wake me when September comes.

I think the ornament should cover the whole playoffs. Take care on the ice.

Treadwell is their secret weapon. Super Bowl MVP. You heard it here first.

Deja vu all over again. I just realized that we were the lowest WC seed in 1987 and beat the Saints in NO, then went to play San Fran at Candlestick Park. Anthony Carter had 227 receiving yards. (but no TDs?) Hoping for the same outcome. Unfortunately we’re not able to play Washington for the NFC championship this year.

Oh good. They’re listening to us. I was nervous for a minute there. So now that we have their attention, maybe VikeDaddy could give them a rousing Paul Newmanesque Old Time Hockey pep talk and maybe Krauser could break down the infinitesimal micro tendencies of the San Francisco defense for Kyle Rudolph and Kurt Cousins. Maybe pass along a few mock drafts for Rick. What do you think? A winner?

No! No! No! X 1000 No!!! This is how we got killed by the Eagles. Last time we had an improbable victory against the Saints in the playoffs, we spent the following week massaging away our guilt for disappointing the Saints fans by fundraising their punter’s charity. Just because he came back out on the field for the PAT. Meanwhile, the Eagles were focused on beating the Vikings and their Santa Claus booing fans were saying “win or don’t show your face in this town ever again.” Our fans were saying “look how nice we are.” Don’t fall for it Kyle!! Focus. Or don’t show your face around here ever again. Rats. I feel dirty just typing that.

LOL!!! You got me good! Note to self. Never go on FootballsFuture late at night.

I don't have the same optimism about Stefanski's potential Head Coaching career as others do. I didn't purposely leave out anyone. I was just listing coaches that are actually being hired right now or have been thrown around as finalists for open spots. I don't even know who half these guys are. About all I know about Kitchens is that he was fired from the Browns and hasn't been hired by anyone else yet, even though the only open spot left is the Browns. Just my opinion (as a casual fan, I've never pretended to be anything else), given the head coaches that are being hired right now (to replace fired coaches), I'm glad we're not looking for a head coach. The selection looks pretty dismal to me. Except for Washington maybe. But even there, I don't think Del Rio and Rivera are a improvement from Zimmer. I'm sure there are coaches out there that are better than Zimmer. Just seems odd that the Panthers, Cowboys, Browns, and Giants aren't hiring them? Rather settling for inferior coaches???

This is the thing. If we fired Zimmer because he’s not able to get us to the Super Bowl, who would we be interviewing? 🤔 McCarthy. McDaniels. Garrett. Judge. yippee.

I’m so confused. I’m going to lie down until my head stops spinning.

Should be some good games this weekend! The Packers and Seahawks had some real classic battles in the past decade. I think it’s great that there could be two NFCN teams playing on January 19, or two NFCW teams I guess. Obviously I think the North rules. Four of our six Viking losses came against teams that we could potentially still play this year. But we would have to get past San Fran first, so it’s all uphill for us.

That's an interesting perspective. This year, they could potentially have to beat three 13-3 teams on the road to make it to the Super Bowl.

Virginia Viking - “Ran the ball” “Defense held them to 20 points” ”Special teams gave us good field position” Strange, I don’t remember Cousins giving you credit for yesterday’s victory. How ungrateful! 😧

OK. That’s why. Thanks.
