September 9, 20215 yr I'm glad they extended him, but I do think it's an overpay. O'Neill is maybe the 8th/9th best RT in the game, probably deserving of $13/14M a year, but instead they're paying him like a LT. Hopefully his game will improve as his contract goes up in cap hits.

I almost want them to fail out of spite for the reckless and carless GM. Zimmer needs to call him out directly. I don't think there are any concerns about them failing this year. Be thankful that they are embarrassing themselves early so we can spend our Sundays doing other things.

I think we’re really starting to see the effect of the new massive TV contract due to arrive next year. Similar to the Kirk deal in 2018, O’Niell’s contract will eventually slide to top 10 in 1-2 years.

Good offensive linemen are hard as hell to find, you can't risk him hitting the market.

September 11, 20215 yr Sean Mannion is getting promoted from the practice squad. Meaning he’s almost certainly the #2 QB. Why? I don’t imagine anyone actually thinks Mannion could win an NFL game. Who cares if the #2 has (minimal) NFL experience? If Cousins goes down, they’ll lose the game unless they’re up big. If he’s out long term, the season is over.

If he’s out long term, the season is over. I guess they trust him more than Mond... but ideally I wouldn't want Mond getting into a game before he is ready. So if they're guaranteed to lose without Kirk, then it doesn't matter who's at QB. Then again, if Mond is ready to go... they had better not let a mediocre vet like Mannion block him.

Not sure I’d call him mediocre. Actually, I have him right here.
September 12, 20215 yr So, where does everyone think this Viking team ends up? I think they win the North with 11 wins. But I'm an optimist. ?

September 12, 20215 yr I assume it would be considered knee-jerk to fire the OC at half time? How can the offense be so undisciplined?
September 12, 20215 yr 8 minutes ago, gunnarthor said: Bradbury is having a pretty bad half, too At least Hill and Ham are doing their best to spread the penalties around and take the pressure off of him.
September 12, 20215 yr 10 Penalties in 1 half? That’s an indictment of this team’s coaching. They better step it up.
September 12, 20215 yr They completely beat themselves. They should’ve beaten the Bengals but they didn’t. If they play like this against Arizona they are getting rolled.
