It is just depressing watching the 49ers. They are a complete team. Brock Purdy is really good.
How can a team be so lucky? Sighs

The Vikings are drawing dead this year.

IMO there's 0% chance the Vikings  get past San Francisco in the playoffs.

The 49ers are an absolute machine. Purdy has been automatic. Good luck beating them.

LOL that Minnesota has a shot in hell.

Smart hires in the front office and at hc.  Not luck.  Luck is the Wilf's strategy.

49ers are unbelievably good. I thought we'd play the Chiefs tight and maybe even pull out a W, but the 49ers are even better than the Chiefs. Hard to see a path to a W in that one. 

If the Vikings beat the Bears and lose to the 49ers, they'll be 2-5 going in to the Packer game on the eve of the trade deadline. They'll need to win that one to avoid a yard sale IMO. 

Worse, the Falcons and Saints are quite a bit better than they looked when the schedule was released.

By luck I mean completely missing on Trey L and striking gold in Brock P.

You can't hit if you don't swing.

Over many years we didn't swing at QB enough - IMO - and this is by no means a hindsight comment been saying for many many years.

49er/Eagles NFCCG would be pretty epic - hope its in Cali
49'er/Chiefs SB would be epic too - my $ would be on SF

Vikings are years away from having the personnel the 49'ers field. Thats if they get a bit lucky and better at drafting/scouting. 

As a fan, I am starting to yearn for a "start over" and keep some of the building blocks we got:

OT's
JJ/Addison
IPJ
Bynum
TJH
 I see upside in Blackmon

That + quick processing in real time...

Now, could anyone come in and commodore that talent and win? Probably not, but his job is easier than many QB's.

Purdy reminds me of Jared Goff: within a system, they can be so highly effective. Accurate and almost always making the right throw in the context of the individual play. Playing chess offensively.

Some would say that all their diversity hires really paid off.

GMs (2): Rick and KAM
Head Coaches (4): Chilly, Les, Zimmer and KOC

Last I checked no coach or GM under the Wilf ownership took part in the big dance. So, I am not sure what your point is but to each their own.

I read it that it was the compensatory picks the niners got for their minority personnel that got poached.

Their talent level shows just how big of a gap there is between the Vikings and truly being a legitimate Super Bowl contender.
