Yeah, it's the head coaches job to put some spin on it and make it sound anywhere from "ok" to "That is GREAT". Like for instance, if it was announced the team would be eating shit sandwiches for the pre-game meals, the coach would talk about how they are "grateful for something to eat" and "The bread will be perfectly baked, the mustard will be a perfect 5 out of 5, and the cloth napkins used to wipe the shit from the corner of their mouths will be made from the finest Egyptian cotton." If he said what he really thinks, the NFL would probably fine him.

Rookie QB isn't as much of a concern if we can protect him and give more time for things to develop in front of him. Our investment in OL gives me hope we can. Add KOC QB Whisperer as the X factor and I think we might have something more that we think we do.

Those things definitely help but there's always concern when a rookie who has never played a down starts. Could be great but could also be terrible. Need to rely on the run game and defense to take some of the pressure off him too. There'll more then likely be a learning curve either way. Just never know....

Vikes Over/Under for wins is currently at 8.5. I would bet the over.

I picked 4 wins last year and was way off so to keep the streak im saying 6 wins this year

Last post on the overseas nonsense, I promise. Two of last seasons three regular season losses were the two weeks right after coming back from London. There is a hangover/jet lag affect playing overseas, and I probably wouldn't bitch about it at all if the entire NFC North were playing at least ONE overseas game. Do it by division every year and get some semblance of balance and fairness. The END

At least they have a buy week after it this year.

RIP Jim Marshall one of the all time Viking greats!

The more I hear how good he is the more I think it will be another let down.

Looked like the WR had to almost stop to catch the ball luckily he was wide open and beat the DB's by a lot. Wouldn't say that was a great pass. Looks like our DB's are still an issue....

One thing I have taught myself to do with Minnesota teams is expect the worst and hope for the best.

The loons are doing pretty dam good...

I am just going to stay optimistic because as long as our team as a whole unit stays healthy, the vikes will have a winning season and as a vikes fan who keeps his expectations low is good for me. I've seen the vikes shit the bed too many times to get my hopes up for anything else.

Hopefully the O-line gives JJ some time.

Lynx are First in their conference and 2nd overall. See how this ages but the Timberpups might need to pay attention if the Lynx make it to the finals.
This might be the most I have looked up a WNBA team ever, which is 2 times in one of their seasons let along twice in a couple weeks

Hopefully when the Liberty and Lynx meet in the Finals this year the commissioner of the league doesn't show up in a NY City skyline dress.

They have won multiple championships this is nothing new for the lynx. The only reason I know that is because of kfan.
