I'm not going to set the board on fire the rest of the year by raining down negative crap constantly, but I think its going to be a messy and turbulent remainder of the season for Minnesota.

Yah, thats good for yourself and others too. I lose my discipline on it now and then though. I thought the Jones piece and OL was pretty telling.

Gotta vent lol!

Didn't mean what you posted, but more how I react and post things.....its just so easy for me to be a bitter betty right now with the Vikings as the best laid plans are just getting crushed.

They were in a tough spot with Jones, he was very inconsistent there and it was largely due to our inept defense that he got his big contract. I think they bought into you don't pay RBs big money theory and Barkley had a lot of injuries while there. Don't think he would have had the same success if he stayed in NY, we probably have some guys here who could go over a 100 yards behind their OL! Sometimes a change of scenery benefits a player.

I just hope the story of the media doesn't become how we let both Jones and Darnold go.

That's already happened. Not sure anyone with a straight face would say Uncle Sammy or Dimes would be successful on the 2025 Vikings in their current state or injured state, but that won't stop the media of course.

I'm too grumpy and ornery, we've got enough doom masters around on the board to pick up my slack. Wink
