If Denver were to meet Seattle in the Super Bowl, I assume they would lose, and probably get trounced.

If Denver were to meet Chicago in the Super Bowl, I think Denver would have a chance.

Stroud has 10 turnovers in his last two playoff games (Pitts and today). Trash.

When 14 teams make the playoffs, you are going to have a few scrubs win a game or two.

8 teams made it in 1975.

He's been horrible too. I don't normally watch Texan games but I watched those 2 games. Last week with the mind-blowing fumbles and today he was just lobbying it up for grabs. They weren't even good plays by the Dbacks.

2 things can be true. KOC was an idiot for not changing the gameplan to account for a crappy OLine. Seattle has done that and it reflects in Darnold's stats. They asked him to throw a meager 17 times for a 124 yards pretty much ensuring he didn't Titanic the team. That's good coaching period.

Playoff QB Rating Rankings:

1) Darnold
2) Love
3) Allen
4) Nix
5) Lawrence
6) Stafford

Love watching football in the elements. The Vikings got soft and lost their identity the day they moved indoors. Haven't been the same since. It's been 40+ years of watching high-priced divas with no heart.

125 yards and a cloud of dust his first playoff game.

I love games in the elements, too.

However, the "good old days" Vikings got their asses handed to them by big strong OL from the AFC and proved to not be so tough afterall.

Sign Nailor? Yes.

Time to cut Allen, Hargrave, Ryan, Hockenson, and maybe Fries ( I thought he was mediocre).

O'Neil restructure? He seems to have regressed and can't stay healthy.

Allen they won't be able to cut......Hargrave, Jones, Hockenson yes. The guy I think is over rated and could be cut is Murphy. Restructure O'Neil and Grenard.

Simple enough....what Pro Bowlers are on the Vikes Defense and how is their running game?
That is why Seattle is tough.....not Darnold.

O'Neill GS: 11, 15, 16, 17, 16, 14, 17, 14. Seemed like a future star around 2020 but slid and plateaued.

His cap is high because he has restructured a couple of times over the years.

The Miami Dolphins are working to finalize an agreement to hire Jeff Hafley as the team’s next head coach, according to two league sources. Hafley would become the 12th full-time head coach in franchise history. He served as the Green Bay Packers’ defensive coordinator for the past two seasons after spending the previous four years as the head coach at Boston College.

Allen... agreed, contract keeps him here.
Restructure of O'Neil I think is assured.
Greenard could be restructured or potentially traded.
Hargrave will be cut unless he agrees to significant pay cut. (I could see him back...)
Jones I would think is gone.
Hock... I think is back on restructure... less expensive than cutting him.

Murphy might be overrated... but probably forced to play out of position... and the defense balled out the last half of the season.

Not sure who the next RB is for Seattle, with continued good play design, he might do well as well.
