What? JJ at his best will never be better than a #2 WR. Now I know he has a turd like Cousins throwing the ball, but he isnt doing anything to get open either. Hes no threat like Diggs. It was a horrible trade, and when JJ leaves MN it will still be a horrible trade. Hows Diggs done the past 2 weeks, how about JJ? And for even more fun dont count garbage time crap. My god the homerism is unreal after getting our a$$es handed to us again.

So, we've had historically bad offensive output these past two weeks, and some of you guys think it's fair to compare a veteran player in Diggs and a WR3 in Jefferson?

Okay then... Danchat was right about everything he said. It's too early for some of these takes about Jefferson, Jefferson vs. Diggs, Gladney, etc. It's hard to expect these rookies to look good when our team, as a whole, is struggling to do anything right.

Some of us knew, like we did with Gladney, they wearnt the best choices for high picks. The Vikes basically traded Diggs, for JJ. That sound like a good trade? Right, its too early to say. But look at the history of Ricks picks at WR, esp the first round ones.

You morons who were predicting 10-12 wins this year, how are you feeling about that right now?

I feel like a moron and I thought 8 or 9, and possibly competing for the first ever 7th seed xD.

Look, I get that it sucks. These first two weeks have been AWFUL, but that's pretty sad. With a 7th team getting into the playoffs this season, I wouldn't be thinking about the draft already ... especially with so many college players not playing or having a weird, delayed season. Take a breather, purple peeps!

The point was just that the Vikings are just one or two bad losses away from becoming one of the most disappointing teams of 2020.

And I respect your not wanting the overall tone of every post to be gloom and doom, but in their first two games the Vikings have made a compelling case that, barring a borderline miraculous turnaround, they will struggle to be even a .500 team this season.

If that's not a major fail, then the extensions of Spielman and Zim are inexcusable.

Not my money but it doesn't look like good moves right now. I didn't think they would be this bad. Wilds have to get rid of them if this continues. I hope it doesn't but man it's hard to see any positives.

Would've felt a lot better with a win today ... or even something that resembled an NFL team!

*govikes*

Yes, I got my tail between my legs right now on my optimism. But I am ok with that.

If Cousins somehow manages to stay in the lineup the rest of the way, I feel like a season of 12 safeties and 4 pick-six's is well within his grasp.

What's cap hit if we cut Cousins. Serious question?

In order to win in this league you need some studs in the trenches.

We have one in Hunter.

Looks to me like Zimmer might lose that locker room if hasn't already.
Two games in a row where we looked woefully unprepared and very little effort by the players.

Okay then... Danchat was right about everything he said. It's too early for some of these takes about Jefferson, Jefferson vs. Diggs, Gladney, etc. It's hard to expect these rookies to look good when our team, as a whole, is struggling to do anything right.

Some of us knew, like we did with Gladney, they wearnt the best choices for high picks. The Vikes basically traded Diggs, for JJ. That sound like a good trade? Right, its too early to say. But look at the history of Ricks picks at WR, esp the first round ones.

Well, it was Diggs and a 7th for Jefferson, DE Willekes, and what has become 2 4th rounders and a 5th in 2021. That's a fine trade if you're building for the future, but clearly they aren't since they've extended Cousins, Cook, and acquired Ngakoue and will likely give him an extension in 2021. And gave Harris a franchise tag. What is the plan here? Either commit to going for it (like the Saints are) or blow it up (like the Panthers)!

I didn't love the Gladney pick, as I would have preferred T Josh Jones or DE Yetur Gross-Matos, but at the moment we have no idea if any of those three are going to be good players.

This season is over guys. We're not going to the playoffs. We might not even win more than 3 games this year. Time to tank, get Trevor Lawrence in the draft next year and build around a real QB, not Bum Cousins.

Rick wont pick a QB even with the 1st pick. He will trade down 4 times and pick a bunch of busts. We ain't getting out of Kirks contact especially next year without taking a cap crippling hit.
