I know we agreed to wait until July 2027, our 20 year anniversary, to cash out but if we lose tonight I want out. I know I’ll miss out on my 50K post bonus but it is what it is. L = mail that check after the sale of my stock and calculation of my % of the ad money.

"One before I die!"

That's all I ask...

One before the franchise hits 100 is the new one before I die.

40 more chances before SB 100
34 before the franchise turns 100
46 before I turn 100.

The next 3.5 to 4.5 decades are something to keep your eyes on.

Todd, I am afraid you're right.

I watched 20 minutes of the game, and I feel they're done, this is a loss.

Well, the easiest decision is not having to make one in the first place.

KOC propped up mediocre QBs in Cousins and Darnold, guys with great arms, but lack the intangibles. I would like to see what KOC does with a really good QB, hopefully that is McCarthy.

IF McCarthy has that 'fire', hopefully he can help KOC with getting a good dink and dunk game going with accurate throws, but yet hitting a decent percentage on the longer throws. Get good at managing the clock, not allowing your opponent time on the clock before half, how to effectively run a hurry up offense.

How to really be competitive, and know how to win the psychological aspect of games, to win big games on the road, and how to run the clock out when you have the lead.

Does anyone really see Flores getting a HC job? I think he is coming back. Give the guy some CBs and some decent Lineman and we can take a big step defensively.

You almost have to corner the FA market to get a talented and new secondary as well as a couple of difference makers up front. And even expensive FAs don't necessarily pan out. That said, they damn well better try to give Flores or whoever a talent influx.

Bynum should probably be gone. Unless he would settle for 6M per.

If you can keep Murphy for 10-12, I might think about it. Guy has ball skills and his coverage got better as the year went on.

You need to sign one of the top 3 CB FAs. A must.

Something like Reed, Murphy and Blackmon and 3rd rounder would be nice.

I think you need more, like a top 3 guy, a 1st rounder, and an upper tier guy. Murphy isn't a difference maker in the least. Blackmon is a hopeful projection coming off injury, and wasn't great to begin with. There were some flashes and some toast plays. He screams #4 CB.

That's just the CBs. Can't expect top players everywhere, like safety. But get at least one good DL.

I'm forecasting NO player will settle for less here than what they can get elsewhere.

I can't think of a 14 win team softer than these guys. I'm sure one will come to mind but even i thought they'd be competitive tonight.

KOC got A LOT of regular season wins with mediocre QBs, Cousins and Darnold, but an 0-2 playoff record.

That was sad. I figured we were toast after last week, at least with regards to any SB aspirations since there was no chance this oline could survive 3 road games just to get there.

However with a neutral site game perhaps it would be different for this game at least. But even a pro bowler like O'Neil was getting trucked by Verse. The team was able to play in front most of the season so things never got into a negative script aside from the past 2 weeks. I was hoping the Rams owning the Vikes OLine in the 2nd half back in week 8 was due to Darrisaw getting knocked out but it was far more than that.

It was a fun ride this season, I pegged us as a .500 team so a 14-3 season was incredible. I believe they were one of 2 or 3 teams to beat their Vegas win projection by 7 games.

9 sacks for 82 yards lost. The 82 yards lost has to be close to an NFL record.

Morning. Enjoying your gravy? You know, ‘This season exceeded my wildest expectations so anything they do is gravy’. Well here’s your gravy - biggest losers in NFL history. 14-3 and couldn’t get out of the wildcard round. Yummm salty ass grey lumpy gravy.

Kevin is a hollow fraud.

Our coach is soft. Therefore our team is soft. The super bowl really was beating the Packers. Looking back on the over the top celebrations for a regular season game now seems even more ridiculous.

Freaking gift wrapped a joke meme. This team couldn’t even compete and lose a tough one. 2 games in a row we soiled ourselves in front of everyone.

QB soft, RB soft, TE soft, interior Oline soft, star WR soft. Perfect guys for Kevin. Makes sense why he wanted Cousins back now.

I haven’t heard anyone talk afterwords but going back to the game Justin was checked out. I told you I seen it after last week.

Another absolute nothing burger for a guy that wants to be the best and is compensated as such.

He was looking for the nearest speed skating rink from what I could tell. Disappearing in the 2nd quarter. Clamped by single coverage against an average D. Those chains and teeth looked good though!

I'm so glad we have no draft capital and are going to have to pick from leftovers in the first round.

I’m taking it as the face of the franchise wasn’t happy so he covered his face and shrank away.

For me he’s back on the block.

If I’m the Wilfs I’m holding back on extensions until next year. If McCarthy is looking like the one QB with the least promise I trash it all.
