It's a message board. You should be able to freely express your opinions unless they are personal attacks. We all understand your frustration. I have been present for all of their failures going back to the Hail Mary and this one doesn't sting any less. Nobody thought we would get this far after Cook and Bradford went out so I give the Vikings a lot of credit for what they accomplished this year. However, until we get the QB situation solidified with a Franchise level starter, we will be a team with a good defense and above average offense that doesn't have all the tools to win a championship. Of the three QB's on the roster this year, I think Case is the best option for 2018 but I'm not sure if he can repeat the level of performance he had. I think he needs to be in a system that compliments his skills and with Shurmur leaving, who knows what Zimmer will do. If Stefanski is ready, I think it would be wise to give him the OC role and keep some continuity in scheme. What we are left with is an improbable run with a QB that nobody thought had it in him, and a magical win that took some of the pain of 2009 away.

I think it takes about 8 weeks for a broken foot to heal, if that's what it is. These offensive lineman are big dudes, so they have to be extra careful with it because it bears so much stress. I would have to guess he'd be ready to go by May mini-camps....but I'm no doctor.

Well look who showed up after a loss.  Musta been tough, all that winning and stuff.

Mike Zimmer said Pat Elflein will require offseason surgery on his ankle. Several other players will need surgery, too, but Zimmer did not elaborate.

I am wondering if Elf shouldnt also have his shoulder cleaned up.  I would hate to see him struggle with that shoulder next year too.

That "serious" term scared me. But it sounds like "serious" is relative to situation. Seriously serious if we played in two weeks. Not as serious considering he has 6 months to recover. 

OK, don't compare Zim to Marvin Lewis ever again bruh....lol

Sources say #Vikings rookie center Pat Elflein is scheduled to have surgery next Monday to repair a fractured left ankle. To be performed by Dr. Robert Anderson in Green Bay, Wis. Have to wait for swelling to go down If all goes well the hope is Elflein is ready for spring drills
