    Predict the Score Thread: wisconsin at Minnesota

    A lot of this depends on injuries and availability. I’m not sold on Wisconsin’s improvement. I’m feeling more positive than the general sentiment here. MN 17 Wisconsin 15

    Why PJ flack is the correct coach for Minnesota..

    They were discussing portal season and all the misses this cycle. In contrast to the old days it sounds like a madcap musical chairs exercise and you essentially sometimes take who you can get over a very short timeframe. I don’t like the single portal window for a lot of reasons but that’s...

    Watching the Vikings the last handful of years I’d argue the receivers made things easy for Cousins et al. Always running open and/or catch everything. Talent, coaching, combo. The contrast to the Gopher receivers…well, won’t say. What’s his catchable throw rate?

    I haven’t watched every Viking game this year but are JJs woes primarily: 1) quick pressure ie blocking issues 2) slow developing play design 3) slow processing at QB position 4) innate poor accuracy 5) careless throws 6) opponent greatness 7) due to being 22 yrs old 8) injury-related 9)...

    Not sure what’s happening. If JJ does start any projections on stat line? Or Max?

    [/MEDIA] I appreciate all kinds of beer…I can recall those awesome Old Style On Tap signs hanging on perpendicular rods over the bar doors in my youth. I wonder if those are still around.

    Fleck: ‘We’re a 6-5 football team, this isn’t 2-10’

    17 of 18 in total offense 18 of 18 in rushing offense 11 of 18 in total defense 16 of 18 in TOP 5 of 18 in turnover margin The schedule and protection of the ball seem to be the biggest factors in (so far) 6 wins? Maybe I’m grumpy but the games - outside the joy of Drake Lindsey - and the...

    We have a staff salary pool of the most important revenue-producing team at or near the bottom of the Big Ten while the AD is in the top 1/3 of the Big Ten. Something is amiss there. Not that I’m paying attention. If they remain on the cheaper side they’re going to need funds to recruit more...

    Tall Tale for Axe Week - The ChinaGopher Incident

    The entire thread is gold. 10/16 4:52p I know you would have been in there to help, buddy! That's one thing about this board--I think pretty much anyone here would have done what our 2 saviors did regardless of pro or anti Mason feelings, or any other ideological differences. I'm just...

    Hey guys, maybe sell off 10% of future department revenue to institutional investors via expensive middlemen?

    PP: Badgers riding high, Gophers low going into Axe game

    Team will be up for this one, regardless of momentum.

    Agree with your sentiment but Frerotte was a decent QB and during his second stint he backed up Tarvaris so yeah, fans would take anyone else on a hope and a prayer. Echoes of the past right now. I remember that 2008 team as being hailed as SB contenders, loaded. The 2009 team actually was...

    From the head coach perspective if he came in and flopped…then the NFL fan mob will say JJs confidence is irreparably ruined, coach didn’t have a proper bench, coach didn’t draft well and the QB whisperer thing kind of bursts into flames. Gonna ride this thing straight into the abyss if that’s...

    All Things 2025 Minnesota Vikings In-Season Thread

    JJs difficulties throwing downfield, outside the numbers, processing were documented before the draft. Played for Michigan. Not a positive in this particular case.

    The Law of the Unknown Trajectory

    It’s cognitive therapy psychological self-help motivational speaker-land to go along with goldfish memory. It’s fine to say it and even believe it but it borders on atheist in foxhole territory. We intuitively understand disregarding recent events doesn’t happen in real life. We as fans are...

    Chernoff by all accounts is a great guy and a longtime PJ acolyte going back to WMU but I believe he was the basketball team manager at UMich (alma mater) before his director of personnel days. We can all argue whether he’s qualified for the GM label in the NFL sense of the word we’re all...
