Yes, media and too much of the fan base mistakenly went loco. Turned into a feeding frenzy.

That is fair. Also, have to wonder if this angst directed at KOC is more about the disappointing 3-4 record than anything else. How much of a concern would this situation be if Vikes were 6-1?

Agree

Darrisaw and O'Neill being back should help our offense. However, I just can't imagine our defense slowing down the Lions.

Agree. KOC has been the most player friendly coach in the league. Now he is going to suddenly change his stripes? Doctors said more damage couldn't be done. In my opinion, KOC is taking an undeserved amount of heat for this.

Yes. Also interesting Matthew Coller did a quick study of the the top 100 picks of each of the 4 drafts that Kwesi has overseen. He said Vikings had a total of 8 picks in that range over the four yrs. While Lions had 15 and Packers 16. Kwesi's two trades to move up for Turner cost us a lot...

There was some discussion earlier this week on this thread regarding the Vikings status regarding comp picks for next draft. Here is an article explaining that Vikes are tracking toward just one pick. Unfortunately. https://vikingsterritory.com/2025/news/top_news/vikings-rumors-comp-trade

I am really excited for the season. Win or lose, feels like we will play the right way and this team will therefore be easy to get behind. Recruiting will of course eventually make or break the new regime, but really nice to feel we are at least pointed in the right direction.

Kevin said he didn't want Brosmers first significant minutes to be in those circumstances. He no doubt was referring to the oline.

I am just passing on what the PD guys were saying yesterday. Anybody can listen to it. They are long time sports scribes with the the #1 watched sports pod in the twin cities. Guess I will accept their conclusions on this

Purple Daily guys are saying it is in jeopardy due to Wilson and Robinson.

PD guys yesterday were saying that due to Eric Wilson taking on a starting role, there is a good chance we will only receive one comp pick next season. A 3rd rounder for Darnold. They said for us to get a second comp pick, it is important that Cam Robinson keeps starting for the Browns. The...

Yes, that is my understanding as well. The Dallas Turner situation was a killer. We traded up twice to get him and gave up a boatload of picks (7) in the 2024, 2025 drafts. (Also gave up a couple picks to get JJ for that matter ). Will be a disaster of course if these two players are busts...

I hope so. I am far from a salary cap savant, but teams oftentimes push money into the future. For example, the Vikes cap hit for our two "prize" dtackles this season is a total of $14 million. At least this is my understanding. Money is then due down the road, so even if the Vikes cut...

Vikes are 25 mill over the cap for 2026. #31 in NFL. We are 16 mill under the cap this season and can roll that over to next season if don't use it. Still, that would only move us up one spot to #30. We can cut players to add cap space for next season, but dead money is usually involved that...

And our one td was a gift.

Season over before Halloween. Less than ideal

We were expected to have a top 5 defense and top 5 oline. 🥴
