All between now and seasons end...

I kinda like that division focus across the league 

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

I still say the first 3 weeks of the season and the last 3 should all be division games,  start the year with 1 against each opponent and end it the same way,  rotate the home and aways and shift the order annually so its not the same schedule each year, but IMO it would make things a lot more interesting.

Detroit looked horrible yesterday. One of the best lines in the NFL couldn't stop the Packers pass rush. And Goff wilts under pressure. Wonder what Flores will do? 

------ Matthew Coller@MatthewCollerPerformance under pressure can be noisy but Jared Goff QB rating (per PFF) when pressured since 2018: 2023: 54.62022: 59.62021: 69.22020: 45.92019: 60.42018: 59.8 Most QBs struggle under pressure but those numbers are among the worst in the NFL every year -------

I'd feel a lot better about things if we had Cousins. JJ still out. Impressive they are still in the race for the playoffs.

Just watched the latest Kyle Sloter breakdown QB video, this was about Dobbs. Said Dobbs gives Minnesota its best chance to get to the playoffs, over Hall, Mullens or anyone else on the roster.

Definitely agree with that. Love to see Hall get another chance, but only because it would be nice to know what we have in him. But there's no doubt Dobbs is the guy. 

One thing I'd like to see Monday is a deep shot, especially if we get up. Put in max protect and send Nailor or Addison on a go and just throw it as far as you can. Even if it doesn't work it gives teams something to think about. I don't think Dobbs has thrown a ball farther than 20 yards since he's been in purple. He's got the arm for it.

Well how would we get the annual screwjob of having to play a winter game at lambblow

Every other year they would have a home game at lambblow the last 3 weeks.
