All Things 2026 Minnesota Vikings Off-Season Thread

Horrible, awful owners win playoff games all the time.

So what?

It means their fanbases celebrate victories.

Viking fans are deprived of such enjoyment.

KOC won 14 games and was coach of the year. Wilfs hired him

Lead to Jack Squat.

Lead to Jack Squat.

Most fanbases don't get to celebrate playoff victories every year for several years in a row.


I'm willing to give KOC another year and if we don't win a playoff game, I'd like to put Flores as head coach and defensive playcaller and get a new offensive playcaller.

22 NFL Franchises have celebrated Playoff Victories more recently than the Vikings.

12 of the other 15 NFC Teams have reached the Super Bowl since the Wilf's bought the franchise.

No clue how to build a winner.

At some point, it's on you for engaging, brother.

Vikings won a playoff game in 2020 (the 2019 season). Sure, we're due for another and it needs to be 2026 season.

If you're trying to pretend that most franchises win playoff games every 2-3 years, that's just a lie.


Agree that it has been pretty wild how much the NFC has cycled through teams for its Super Bowl representative.

Vikings would've won the SB the 2009 season, if not for one incredibly stupid throw.

Lions haven't either. They have good ownership too.

I'm not pretending anything.

22 franchises have won a playoff game more recently than the Vikings. Fact.

That's on Ownership. Rudderless.

Trumpery and boobery!

Where you're being dishonest is pretending that it's been like since 1978 that we haven't won one. We just did in 2020.

We'll be just fine if we win another one in 2026.

Puzzling why you are projecting anything more into it than that fact.

Also no idea what 1978 has to do with anything.

I don't hold the Wilf's accountable for any Vikings failures prior to 2005 when they bought franchise.

Just 3 Playoff wins in that time. Incredibly weak.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

I was looking forward to getting PA’a opinion on this but now I am certain it’ll be false info similar to the rest of the tc media. Just voices being told what to say. Sad.

Ben Goessling was on with Dan on Fri and specifically addressed why he and actual legitimate reporters like Seifert, Shefter, etc. aren't reporting things like above.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure ........ Dan Rotman? Who TF is that? .... is a stand up guy.

Took me a few minutes to figure outs his creds, which just may be slightly higher than yours.

Click on his Tweet to get his twitter bio and then compare that to AI
