The competitve part of the season is pretty much over and was over before the Seahawks game. Nothing that happened in that game is that big of a deal to me including the 4th down play that resulted in the pick six. The team would only have a 11% chance of making the playoffs if […]

It was the first time the Vikings had been shut out since November 11, 2007. Max Brosmer got his chance to start, […]

It wasn’t supposed to be like this. Sure, the Minnesota Vikings weren’t going to go 14-3 again after the run they had in 2024, but surely they were going to be a solid contender again in 2025, weren’t they? That’s what yours truly, and a lot of other people, thought going into this season. The […]

With the news that quarterback J.J. McCarthy would not be starting this week for the Minnesota Vikings due to not clearing concussion protocol and that rookie Max Brosmer would be starting in his spot, many fans felt that things could not possibly get worse for the Minnesota offense.

I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. I am looking forward to watching some football this weekend. I fear the Vikings game will be painful and could get out of hand early. I know the narrative last year after the playoff loss to the Rams was Sam Darnold was not the answer and not worth […]
