This popped up in my youtube feed today and I'll share it because the guy really struck a chord with me.

117 points against in the final two minutes of halves this season. Has to be 30-40 points more than any other team in the league this season. You can't win consistently with those kinds of numbers. There were at least three or four games where a team scored twice in the final two minutes of one half.

Hmmm, I wonder what Kirk's record would be if we were just a middle of the pack defense?

He’d probably get too much praise, just like he gets too much criticism now.

Nothing’s impossible … the right situation, the right bounces … I could see him being successfull in the right program.

He is what he is, a gigantic clump of seaweed with a very good arm sticking out.

My favorite description of Cousins.

Cousins was not this team's biggest issue this year, it was our HC's conservative philosophy, imo but he is part of the bigger problem/puzzle of winning a Super Bowl, which is all I care about.

I hope our GM doesn't take a band aid approach and go all in 2022. If I were the Wilf's I'd look to 2023 and beyond.

New GM, hires HC and trades QB. I'm more concerned with upgrading the TEAM, even if if means a STATISTICAL downgrade at QB. I'm thinking we go for our franchise QB in 2023, as this years draft class isn't strong?

Clean slate, contend for division in 2022 and Super Bowl runs after, in a perfect world.

This year was the band aid approach year. The defense needs a complete overhaul. A new GM (along with a new coach) will understand that. Next year has to be a rebuilding year, so keeping Cousins one more year seems likely (as he won't be extended, and his contract will no longer affect the salary cap in 2023).

Even more reason to trade Cousins while you can get draft pick(s) for him.

Like, I said, if I were the Wilfs; I'd look to next season trying to compete for the division and retool but the Super Bowls runs most likely will take a season or two for the new regime as will finding the franchise QB, optimistically speaking.

Unfortunately, we, as Vikings fans, have to be patient, again.

I am excited by some of the pieces we have and what our future holds with a great GM hire.

Cousins, the one man in the NFL that is incapable of receiving an objective description - especially from the "fans" of the team he's playing on ....

Cousins is a polarizing figure for sure who gets too much blame and credit … as all QBs do.

Its not objective on your part to say nobody else is capable of being objective about him just because your bias is different.

Wow.. Twitter over talk vikes…

Birds of a feather, Twitter together…

I like Twitter for my sports information - I can easily control who I get it from. And I throw a lot of stuff from Twitter on here - and when I do, sometimes I think about that time Bruce is talking about. True story. Social media can be a F'er if you let it -

My favorite saying in the whole world, and I wish I could follow through with it 100% is: What you think of me is none of my business ...

18 months ago i unfollowed all but one vikings/sports journalist on twitter - i felt that even the sports people were way too political....

I didn't go that far but I but I hear ya

I have a real hard time with a lot of reply sections whether it's Twitter or a Strib article. I picked up a deal on an online subscription from the Strib for the football season but let it go recently

Make sure they're not still billing you. The business side of that paper is very snakey, at least as far as doing what they said they'll do. I finally had to kill it from the credit card side because I couldn't hear another "Aw, shucks, let me fix that for you" then have them try to sell me, and then have charges show up.

Thank you. It was an odd affair and I see what you mean. They never charged my credit card, sent me an email saying my service were discontinued because I didn't pay but I was able to keep reading. I finally got a paper bill. I actually settled with them by paying half - as long as they don't bill me again I'm good. I'll keep an eye on it.

Direct TV was something else. They seem to have a philosophy that we will bill you for what we said we wouldn't, charge you for what you didn't ask for and let it ride until you catch us. I got many years of NFL Ticket out of them but when that well dried up and had to leave.

Same exact experience, and more, the DirecTV and ATT. This year I didn't pursue the Sunday Ticket, and then received an email saying they were giving it to me for free, unsolicited, no strings. Didn't believe it until the season was four or five weeks old.
