Vikes point totals in our eight games so far in order: 17,28,24,21,20,19,22,24. That's an average of 21.9 per game. But don't forget two of our TDs were defensive scores. Through eight games our offense scores 20.4 points per game. You're telling me we can't find anyone that can replace that? It doesn't seem like an insurmountable amount of points to me.

I'm going on record: Kirk stans are about to find out just how easily replaceable he was/is.

Addison and JJ may not agree with you....you might see a lot more checkdowns now and the lovely zero yard pass.

Everyone is replaceable. GB is now aware that ARodg is replaceable but with a lesser QB.

Hall may have talent but Kirk probably had his best season followed by his best 1/2 season under KOC.

Nope. His QBR last year was one of his worse as a full-time starter. He even said it was strange the team was winning but he wasn't playing that well. Stat wise. And getting bounced in a one-and-done playoff game at home isn't anything to write home about.

Then one day the Sox won one. And another day the Cubs finally won one.

Maybe we'll get one, maybe not. But I'll tell you this, we ain't owed a damn thing in this world so it might be a good idea to plan accordingly

I’m not sure Phil gets that this all post-mortem discussion … he’s still trying to argue what Cousins brings to the table.

Rest in peace Kirk. You had one of your worst statistical seasons and went 13-5; according to KOC yesterday, you were having your best season yet … to go 4-4. Not all QBs have a knack for winning. Godspeed to you.

Seifert:

Kevin O'Connell is still not committing to a starter in Kirk Cousins' absence, even for this week's game at Falcons. Said he gave Jaren Hall some throws in Green Bay to start the eval process, but says: "We're still working through that."

Sean Mannion would be the only other option this week. Nick Mullens not eligible to return from IR until next week. O'Connell mentioned the possibility of an outside acquisition, and says: "You wouldn't believe some of the things I've received on my cell phone the past 24 hours."

We asked Kevin O'Connell every which way about how realistic it would be to add a new starting QB from outside, especially in the context of the Vikings "competitive rebuild." He steadfastly refused to rule it out.

Happened to read Wentz grew up in N. Dakota and played college there. Couldn't figure out why all the Wentz love, that probably explains it.

Up and down year as always. I was ready to sell and hope for better days ahead and then we go and beat the 9ers. While that was not a great result from a drafting perspective I did thoroughly enjoy us beating down the 9ers while Aikman and Buck continued fawning over Purdy and the rest of their team. It's always nice to rub one in Buck's face and to win on Monday night against a good team is pretty refreshing. It's hard to feel to awful beating the Pack in Lameblow either, the reality stick is hitting them hard too.

FWIW, I definitely didn't want Kirk to get hurt, or end his Vikings tenure in this way. That's a tough situation, and I do admire how he went out positively and with class. He's a quirky fellow, hard to like in many ways, and yet endearing in others.

Moving forward, I'm in the camp to see what Hall can do. Mullins won't be the answer, and please keep Mannion on the PS, it's a travesty he's even on it. Also, don't trade picks or assets, or resurrect someone to try and salvage a .500 record. I doubt KAM was in trouble before this week and I'm sure he'll get a pass now after it. Let's hope draft year 3 is a diamond in his rough.
