DON'T CARE...the Lions are so bad that they may even lose to our second team. The only thing I care about is I hope we sit any significant starter. Sit Cousins, Cook, Theilan, Jefferson, etc.

Get Udoh in there and any fringe players you think you need to see more of. We pick 13 as of right now and from the sounds of it we will only move maybe a spot or two in either direction with a loss or a win. I'd obviously like to move up with a loss so that we could potentially get a nice trade partner when one of the QB's falls.

I'm hoping we play a lot of our back ups this week. I mean defensively we've been doing that basically all season lol

Lose please. We won't though. We'll win by 40.

Look like Cook has been ruled out due to an "unexpected family emergency"

Ya his dad died yesterday, just 46 years old. He was a diabetic with some health issues but no word yet.

Reiff has been put on the Covid list but could still play. My hope is that he does not play. Get Ezra over there.

Ezra, Udoh, Bradbury, Hinton, Hill...sit Kirk though so Mannion gets killed instead lol.

Yup if he’s out I’m hoping Cleveland gets the start at LT. Should get some good experience going up against Griffen all game.

Win or lose we get a good draft position. #13 if we win?

Guessing we trade back since we don't have a second.

Been away for a while but here are my thoughts.

Not saying we need to blow everything up, but they need to reevaluate a lot of stuff and not use 2020/injuries as an excuse. Entire defensive scheme needs adjustment and they need to take is easier on Dalvin if they want him to be fresh at the end of the year/his contract. I expect the DBs to take a big step forward next year but we need to address the dline and oline for sure.

Kirk is basically Kirk at this point. Not going to get more or less. I would love to draft a top QB if the opportunity arises but Kirk can be good enough if he has the help (offense and defense). It's going to be a long offseason but Dalvin and Jefferson give me hope.

I don't think they'll get rid of Zimmer this year but his job should be on the line next year. Maalouf should be gone for sure. Also, not a big fan of nepotism or having two defensive coordinators. Give it to Patterson and see what he can do.

I read the worst pick we can have is 15th. The best pick we can get is 9th and we would need a lot of help to get that. We need to lose to Detroit and have Carolina, Denver, Dallas, LA Chargers, and Washington win to get the 9th pick. We'll probably beat Detroit so our pick will fall somewhere between 13th and 15th.

Out:

Eric Kendricks
Jalyn Holmes
Ifeadi Odenigbo
Cameron Dantzler
Chris Jones
Dalvin Cook

[vikingsfan0845]

Looks like Stafford is going to start

[vikingsfan0845]

Man the officials really want the Vikings to win. Two awful calls against Detroit in the 4th quarter

This ref crew is a joke lol.

Seriously the roughing and taking back the td seem like completely absurd rulings to me
