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

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.

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 was for promoting Flores to head coach last year, but I am for giving KOC 2 more years.

KOC got great seasons out of mediocre QBs in Cousins and Darnold, I would like to see what he would do with a great QB, and am hoping we have that with McCarthy.

I am on the complete other end of that equation. O'Connell looks like a guy that needs a lot more seasoning before he is going to be a great coach in the NFL.

I said it three weeks ago and I'll say it again. The offensive line will be the eventual undoing of this team. You could see it coming. Aaron Glenn exposed them last weekend and McVay copied the script on Monday night.

Having said that, I am no longer all-in on Kevin O'Connell. He made zero adjustments to the offense between last week and this week. Just thought he could roll out the same game plan that he had all season and win. With no running game and little protection, he kept running the same routes and never made adjustments. The only successes they had was when they went underneath, and seemingly every drive he would go away from it at some point.

Whether Darnold is back in Minnesota next season or not, this team is not winning anything special until they resolve the issues up front. McCarthy? Good luck! Daniel Jones? Good luck! I see 7-8 wins next season, at-best, if the problems on the o-line are not corrected. They got everything they could have asked for, and then some, out of Sam Darnold. If they move on, and I expect they will (because he'll be the scapegoat), it doesn't solve the main problem.

I don't agree....of the last 3 teams which one had an over abundance of talent? He has coached up the team......they need to add talent.

Addison balls out more than Jefferson.

Doubt we can build around that. Might only have one more year with him before he presses for a trade.

I disagree. Big games these last 2 weeks he looks lost. Where was the urgency in the entire 2nd half? I saw a guy who was in over his head and quit.

You do checks at the line and after being sacked 7 times he was like punch drunk Rocky. Jones must not have been able to call the plays---I would have made the switch at half time.

It is all about the QB play in the playoffs.....you know the Kirk checkdown on 4th down when he was aces all game. That is the job. None of the 32 teams will give him more than 12-15 million....he has been exposed by the last 2 teams....blame KOC but he hid his weaknesses most of the season.

You can only do so much. Joe Montana wasn't winning that game. Kansas City is the only remaining team in the playoffs with an offensive line similar to the Vikings. Ultimately, it will be their undoing as well. But with Andy Reid and Mahomes they will find a way to make it interesting. Why? Because they understand their weaknesses and how to offset them.

O'Connell's time management and use of timeouts is just abysmal. I lost almost all faith in his leadership the past two weekends. His inability to adjust was the topper.

KOC tried nothing. Exactly. Then they tried to just run out the clock.
