Aren't these really the same thing? If a receiver is benefitting from the 8-9 man boxes AP faces, doesn't that mean he will be getting a lot of yards, which would force the D to drop more back in...

I totally agree with you.

Given that we have 2 firsts, would you rather see the Vikes trade up higher in the first to get one of the big talents at a position other than WR, or would you rather...

The only reason I think the Vikings won't do that is that they spent nearly $2 million on Simpson, including roster and workout bonuses for the one-year contract he signed. They don't have the cap...

The one thing that is not captured by this statistic is the effect Kwill had outside of tackles alone. How many times did he pressure the quarterback, either forcing a bad throw, or pushing him into...

Actually, Ravens had a stronger strength of schedule, so the worst we could get is #23.

Why are they locked at 21? They have the same win/loss record, same conference record, so it comes down to strength of victory. The Bengals are a +71 on point differential, while the Vikes are +31....

Answered my own question. Based on tiebreakers and record, the Vikings have the worst record of any of the playoff teams, so they will draft 21, regardless of tomorrow's games.

So, does anyone know where the Vikes will draft now? Will we be 21 or 22?

My guess is Frazier didn't even want to think about contract discussions during the season, so he could just focus on coaching. I'd expect them to get it done in a few weeks after things settle down...

It's a small thing, but I love how the team never quit, even on the last play where there was absolutely ZERO chance they could change the outcome. The entire team running up field to spike the ball...

Okay, since this game is all but over, I feel I can say this.

Remember back in 2008 when we happened to win the North and get a home playoff game against Philly? We were clearly overmatched in...

My bad. There's been enough talk on other threads about getting Barkley.

HELL NO!!!!!!!! Barkley is another USC QB that is overrated (Sanchez, Palmer, Leinart). Ponder has all the skills and was making the throws at the end of the season. I would rather the Vikes spend...

WOW!!!! A penalty against the Packers!

My god, the Vikes cannot buy a call. That was a penalty on AP's run. Back of the helmet is just like the front.

Yes, Ponder's role on the team is to be efficient in throwing the ball, but it is not expected that he will carry the team. That being said, how many times have you seen a WR open and Webb completely...

Maybe in his first season Brady was a game manager, but after that, no way! The pats have not had a bruising running game in the belichek era. The team has excelled because of good quarterback play...

I say bring him back for training camp and see how he stacks up against the rest of the talent. He had some nice catches in Sunday's game, and from what I understand his back is still bothering him...

That's all we can do. Hopefully the D can show up in Houston like they did in St. Louis. Hopefully Musgrave can finally learn how to call plays to keep a defense on it's toes. Our ability to win...

We win out and any two of NYG, DAL and WAS lose one game and we're in.

One big difference is that Frazier is a better coach than Childress was. The players never really rallied around Childress, but they really have around Frazier. At worst, we finish 8-8 this year,...

Except, in that scenario, the Skins would win the East, so tiebreakers wouldn't matter. It would come down to tiebreakers between us, DAL and NYG. We would win that, based on division record (first...

Fair enough. Still, the result of the Seattle game doesn't affect the Vikings standings this week. Still want them to lose so the vikes have a chance at the #5 seed.
What are your thoughts on the...

The Seattle game actually doesn't matter in this context. Dallas and Wash hold tiebreakers against us, so we need each to lose a game over the next three weeks (they play each other the last...

I agree with you that they believe they won't be able to really bring in anybody that can make a meaningful contribution over the next three weeks. I disagree with you though that they've packed it...
