>>>ALL THINGS VIKINGS<<<

Those rumors are sickening and beyond stupid and a bunch of so-called Vikings fans want this. Total garbage in my opinion. Cousins has a full no-trade clause and why would you get rid of a top ranked QB when you have zero on the bench to fill the role? Cousins isnt the problem and if you wanna trade a player that can bring in assets, why stop at Cousins? Lets trade JJ and Addison while were at it. Hell lets trade the whole damn team.

Im being facetious, but the trade Kirk stuff is not an answer right now. Im not an analytical guy. Just a fan... so that trade Kirk stuff makes zero sense to me at the moment.

 

It makes no sense to me either

 

The NY media thinks that their teams can trade for whoever they want. What would the Jets trade for Cousins? They traded away their first pick next year already for Rodgers.

 

Capt Kirk he can be confusing as hell sometimes Nick Mullens is not Capt Kirk or Zack Wilson is not a better QB than Capt Kirk plus he has a no trade clause but you never know what that scary azz Kwesi-Adofo-Mensah will do?

 

Gaskin was cut today.

Lets see what Akers can do.

 

A run game would be so nice with Dalvin Cook at least you had the threat of a running attack and breakaway ŕuns I hope Cam Akers can breathe some much-needed life into the run game never understood how important it is and to Capt Kirk

 

When your 2nd or 3rd and long all day it puts pressure on Kirk. A balanced run/pass keeps the defenses honest.

 

Gaskin back on practice squad, lol.

 

The Vikings have started 0-3 for the second time in four seasons. The last time they started 0-4 was 2011, finishing 3-13.

Since 1990, 34 of 235 teams to start 1-3 made the postseason, with 18 winning the division and one going on to win a Super Bowl. Of the 103 teams to start 0-4, a single club made the postseason. Only the 1992 San Diego Chargers began 0-4 and made the playoffs, finishing 11-5 and losing in the Divisional Round.

 

Will...........Best of luck this week and I had the Vikes winning the NFC North this year......WTF now they are in a Must win.

 

Yeah it's a WTF and WTH is going on with the Vikings

 

It's time to fire this guy Kwesi-Adofo-Mensah he's always running it back KOC get it together cause the Vikings are looking soft man I thought things would be different but noooo it just the same old same old,this not using JJ more is mind blowing what a waste I'm so confused just where are Vikings headed?

 

Cam Akers looks like a more polished rb Mattison looked like a bull just trying to run players over

 

If the Vikings played like they did against the Panthers it's a sure ĺoss against ĶC a much better football team on Offense and Defense this will be a very tough game for the Vikings they will have to get a few breaks and play mistake free football GO VIKINGS oh hang on to the ball

 

The Vikings haven't won a game by 17 points or more since December 2019.

 

Really I had no idea how bad it's been, since 2019 no beatdowns of another team but Vikings have been beat bad Really bad it's 2023 c'mon KOC a beatdown is calling your name

 

I really didn't pay to much attention what team a player went to but I'm starting to realize it makes a huge difference and what system that player is placed in

 

Justin Jefferson out for 4 weeks with the hamstring

 

Kevin O'Connell: Vikings have 'plenty' of playmakers even without Justin Jefferson

Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell is facing perhaps the most daunting task of his young coaching career: succeeding without Justin Jefferson on the field.

Jefferson will be out at least four weeks due to a hamstring injury suffered Sunday, the first missed games of the wideout's career. Minnesota officially placed Jefferson on IR on Wednesday and signed wideouts N'Keal Harry and Trishton Jackson to the active roster off the team's practice squad.

O'Connell knows that without Jefferson's field-tilting ability, it will change how the Vikings approach opponents.

"The fact of the matter is we have to change the way we game-plan when we do have Justin available just because of the way the breakdowns work, and you think you're going to get all these coverages that have shown up, and then we show up to the game and we get kind of a J.J. program consistently," O'Connell told SiriusXM NFL Radio on Tuesday. "Something that we've had to really grow these last 25-plus games, whatever it's been, and really dive into it from a standpoint of anticipating how he might be taken away and how that affects everybody else and where we require Jordan (Addison) or K.J. (Osborn) or T.J. Hockenson or Josh (Oliver) to go win in the pass game versus premier looks when so much coverage is dedicated to Justin."

Jefferson has generated 36 catches (tied for sixth in the NFL) for 571 yards (third) and three receiving touchdowns (tied for fifth) in 2023. Since 2022, the wideout leads the NFL with 164 catches and 2,380 yards.

Through five games, Jefferson has more than double the receiving yards than any other Minnesota player; Hockenson (254) and Addison (249) are the only other players with 200-plus receiving yards.

Losing Jefferson takes a ginormous chunk out of the Vikings' offense. The star gets open versus any coverage and makes life easier on the entire operation by garnering a ton of attention. Now, O'Connell will have to show he can still scheme up big plays sans the dominant wideout.

"So now we gotta, knowing we might not have him for a stretch here, we've got to change the way we look at it and we've got to get back to making sure that we have sound plays versus the looks we think we're going to get," O'Connell said on Tuesday. "Give our guys, our playmakers, which we feel like we have plenty even losing the best receiver in football, we still are really excited about Jordan Addison. K.J. Osborn's been ultra consistent, T.J. Hockenson, there's a reason why he's here, and we'll continue to build things on all downs to keep him involved, and then how does C.J. Ham or Josh Oliver, Johnny Mundt or Brandon Powell, how do those guys fit in in their complementary roles, where they can really, really see some premier opportunities."

O'Connell gets to test the Jefferson-less operation Sunday against a Chicago Bears defense that has struggled to slow passing attacks, allowing 286.0 passing yards per game (second-most in the NFL) and 12 pass TDs (second-most).
