Scottish_Viking Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 If a fire sale is needed it certainly shouldn't be on the offensive side. 1 unit has been continually subpar all season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A realistic expectation of a first round QB is that maybe one day he will be as good as Kirk cousins. We already have Kirk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to get rid of these old players but it was hard for KOC and KAM to really clear house coming into this year but I see them taking out the trash this off season. bye bye to: Cook Thielen Kendricks Well now since they do not even run the ball anymore maybe on Cook. One can find very quality RBs in the draft in the later rounds. All these guys could bring things Cook did, and Achane absolutely has the speed, so does Vaughn and Spears. Deuce Vaughn Kansas State JR 3-4 rounds Devon Achane Texas A&M JR 3-5 rounds Tyjea Spears Tulane RS JR 4-5 rounds Israel Abanikanda Pitt JR 3-5 rounds Kenny McIntosh Georgia 6-7 rounds Zach Evans Ole Miss JR 7 round or UDFA Evan Hull Northwestern RS JR 7 round or UDFA Sean Tucker Syracuse RS SOPH 7 round or UDFA Tiyon Evans Louisville JR UDFA Kendricks just does not seem to fit in the system but same can be said for Harrison Smith. The ILB class is not great so that would hurt, might be harder to find a rookie replacement for Kendricks. Patrick Peterson is a free agent and not sure Booth is some great corner or Evans. Also Joseph is a free agent at Kicker, so is Udoh, Bradbury and Irv Smith but those are not as big of losses. Vikings are -$8 mil in cap space next year which is 23rd worst in the NFL.

The Vikings are nowhere near needing to rebuild. The rebuild is a misleading term. The defense does need some help. the problem is where would have we been better… 0-11 in the close games or 11-0?

joeybrowner47 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Well fellas I’m already at peace with this loss. I had no confidence we’d win and I was right. Having said that I really don’t understand The hate for Kirk. Our defense cost us the game today not him. If O’Connell doesn’t overhaul his defense he will be in the soup line soon. I think he is a good offensive coach and that’s it. He needs a strong DC and he doesn’t currently have it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CriminalMind Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 That last 4 plays was poor by KOC. I think the 2:00 warning coming (and trying to and run additional plays before the 2:00 was not right). They looked rushed and got nothing out of 1st and 2nd down. Not much from 3rd down after the stoppage. then terrible short pass on fourth. Cousins should have been driving the ball down the field on all 4 passes or run plays on 1st or 2nd down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is all relative, the dude brought up getting rid of Cook, I brought up easy options for replacement which is very common in the NFL to draft a mid to late round RB then just get another when the contract is up. I think the thread will be fine dude. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys play with so much heart and Barkley is ridiculous to tackle. I’ll be cheering loudly for big blue against the hated eagles. I HATE that team!

You can’t throw that pass. You just can’t. Don’t have interest in watching parts of the game again. Pressure was there and he had to throw it when he did, no? If so: Were there any other receivers open? If not, at least he gave Hock a fighting chance (whoever slim). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrplChilPill Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Great season. Kirk and Jefferson carried this team. Hoping they fire Donatelli and get the defense to average next year. Deal Cook, cut Kendricks, redo thielen deal ... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SodeeWater_Cheezburger Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Sorry Vikings fans. I was hoping this was going to be your year to get to the big dance. Back to the drawing board I guess. At least you have what seems like a very good young coach and a lot of talent on the roster. Best of luck next year! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
