Never thought I would see it.  I’d be pissed if I was playing RN

Thats a familiar ring...

We can only hope....


Sidebar if McCarthy can't go this week it'd be fun if the team gave Favre a call. If Indy can do it why can't we! Someone get the old gunslinger a helmet!

Wrong. Every year is brand new with new players, coaches, front office people, scouts, etc. The proof is despite ALL of the regular season success and "winning culture" the Vikings have built up over the years, we haven't been to the playoffs in back to back seasons in almost 20 years! Things change every year. How about the winning culture of some of the teams you mentioned? Lions, Chiefs, etc. How did that winning culture faire for them this year? So winning meaningless games after we've been eliminated (for a month), serves us no benefit as it relates to the 2026 team. The only thing this winning of meaningless games has done is ensure another year of Kwesi and a front office that whiffs on draft picks like J-Lo whiffs on husband's. With that said, any help he can get in the form of higher draft picks and a last place schedule for next season...I'll take.

HAR!!

So, you talk about us not getting to playoffs in consecutive years, then name teams that typically have (KC, Detroit)...so, that point is rounded off enough to bowl with.

In the meantime, I'm hoping a trainable center falls to us early, because we've proven that no veteran, rookie, etc QB does well when the interior o-line has issues.

What gives me joy and warms my heart forever is that no amount of hissing and spitting to "tank" ever seems to sink in, so the people who fap endlessly over each batch of shiny college bois are frustrated and miserable over and over again. That's...a beautiful thing!

Anyway, let me know how the Jets are doing with what must be a superbowl-crushing roster. Have a blessed evening!

KOC, JJM, Flores...make a good plan, or you'll be following Kwesi....

Lol the point is winning meaningless games now touting some "winning culture" heading into next season is bullshit and isn't how today's NFL works.This isn't Terry Bradshaw and the Steel Curtain keeping their nucleus together for a decade. Every year is completely new as evidenced by the crashing of teams like the Chiefs and Lions. It's parody, and success in one season has little to no bearing on the next. You just better hope you have a quarterback and a competent front office with a plan.

Jets you say? Those same Jets that have had more postseason success then the Wilf led Vikings? Got it..

This isn't Terry Bradshaw and the Steel Curtain keeping their nucleus together for a decade. Every year is completely new as evidenced by the crashing of teams like the Chiefs after 7 years on top and Lions who could easily be back near the top next year. It's parody, and success in one season has little to no bearing on the next. You just better hope you have a quarterback and a competent front office with a plan. Agreed. I think we have both but I'm not certain. TBD.

Says who? I do...and parity does. Success one season does not equate to success the next season because it's a new team every year. That's why I say, you better have a quarterback and a front office with a plan to have any kind of actual sustained success in today's NFL. That's just fact.
