Where's all this "depth" this is a solid roster of losers.  Look how many of our cuts were signed by the rest of the league.  This is an embarrassment..... I wish Irsay would have the balls to demand accountability.

Exactly!  Ballard has shown me nothing.  Would rather take a budget player who has proven absolutely nothing than a proven player you might have to pay for.

Not even close. This is a 5 or 4 team at best.

They'll win 7 or 8 is my guess.. This opening schedule was always going to suck, but they don't look like they belong on the field with playoff teams right now- which is... bad enough to get people to saying "we suck"- because they do right now.

Good to know 5 years into Ballard regime, despite all resources put in, this defense is still awful.

 

Next time, hire a reputable, good defensive coordinator and let him or head coach dictate the scheme instead of the GM.

 

World beaters against below avg QBs though.

 

Reich’s play calling last set of downs was bad, but this defense is something else . No confidence in them against any good offense.

And wait until we lose some of our better players to injury...smh

Looks like those terrible years we've had in the past...

 

Those years where our run D is great because why would you run it??

Exactly. I know we are facing two good offenses to start the season but this defense is supposed to be top 10 caliber. Darius Leonard saying they want to force 40 turnovers this year and blah, blah, blah.

You can disagree all you want, this team and this scheme has been making throwaway qbs look like Greek gods for decades.  (Minshew last yr week one?)

Correct.  But the first two QBs of the season are among the very best in the league.

This team won’t be Jacksonville

    • I was not a fan of the NFL during old times, but I've heard a lot about Fran..   I'd be okay with Cousins if the guy can think properly on football field, otherwise he's consistently elite in passing stats and never gets injured and misses a game. Only problem is he doesn't have the greatness between the ears to win it all for a franchise who has never won a Super Bowl.   If older Vikings fans ever want to see a trophy, the only way is to draft a franchise QB and hope it works in next decade or so. It's better than being good for 8-11 wins and an occasional play-off game with Kirk.   If he goes to say, Seahawks, and finish his career with all time records, the franchise at least has got SB win recently so they could be happy with some great exciting games with Cousins.   Vikings owner needs to focus on only thing - a Super Bowl trophy. For generations of fans who have never won it all. 
    • Understand... but why do you say that Jones will ever have to face his HC again?   Would you just like him to be placed in reserve list and the franchise releasing him by the end of the year or contract?   I think releasing him would do similar favor as he could get the help he needs and get back to NFL proving he's healed mentally. As he's a great player, some team would get him next year if he's back to his old self.   He can still salvage his career but more importantly he needs his family to take care of him and get the assistance he needs. I think releasing him would make him focus on getting back to NFL if he wants, or at least let him free to heal and move on towards next chapter in life.   Team could've placed him on a reserve list, I don't think there's any problem doing that technically, but either way he's been done a favor to get back to focus on his health.    He could still receive pension, retirement & veteran benefits from the league, right? 
    • Irsay also let one of his all time favorites Edge, who also happens to be a running back, walk in free agency.
    • I have always liked the vikes. They are a old time original team with past legends and success. But in modern times it seems the Football Gods frown on them from having too much success... just a season here and there usually followed by mediocre or worse play. They are similar to the Colts minus Manning/Polian era, not like franchises historically brownies, lions,cards,jets etc... But not like the top franchises that when good go to super bowls.  That's why I hope colt fans enjoy this season if they have some success and not look  into the next few years of building and expecting a Super Bowl team. NFL team building isn't necessarily linear and teams like the colts & vikes can be like yo yo's....up one year, down the next.  I know fans have been wanting to move on from Cousins, but getting someone better/consistently elite  may be easier said then done but there seems to be multiple good QB prospects.    Do you remember Tarkenton?  I Remember him vaguely seen vids of him. He was quite a scrambler. And the Purple People eaters.    Anyway, I expect Cousins to be with the Jets soon.. I wish him success but that's difficult with that team.. LoL
