Time to go again.
Secretly hoping Vikings defense continues to have a nightmare so we can have a losing season in order to draft a QB.
Heading slowly into a disaster with cap issues and Jefferson & Darrisaw still to get paid. Can't afford another Cousins extension no matter how well he is playing.
Been on-and-off talk of swapping Lance for Cousins for 2 seasons but Lance kept picking up injuries and the Wilfs (Vikings owners) are still in love with Cousins. Other issue was 49ers having to go cheap at QB because of paying everyone else ruled (Bosa,Kittle, Williams,Armstead etc) out Cousins side of the deal. But they should have been in for Lance later on when they knew a 4th round pick was the price.Wasnt there rumours that you were tempted to go for Trey Lance. Bit of a gamble but might’ve been a decent shout for both
Not sure if you watch/listen to Pro Football Talk Tisza but Mike Florio who does it is a big Vikings fan and always has plenty to say about Cousins. Worth checking

Florio has a love-hate thing with the Vikings & its ownership. He rightly calls them out for always settling for being okay, having a fear of failure rather than really trying to win a Superbowl - hence the continual Cousins extensions etc.
This year's defense is weaker personnel wise mainly because of the salary cap so they've banked everything on Flores being able to create a system using many mediocre/poor players. They are going to lose only decent pass rusher in Hunter to free agency end of season - again cap reasons. And yet again they'll probably be giving Cousins an extension because they'll be stuck at middle or bottom of 1st round of the draft again after another 10-7/11-6 season and a likely early knock-out in the play-offs. Personally i'd take a 3-14 season (beat Lions, Bears , Packers at home) and draft one of the 2 outstanding QBs in 2024 draft (Williams or Maye).
A chance Saints win the division it looks really weak. Still talented if they can stay fit.I feel your pain. I follow saints, the cap magicians, but the cap is finally catching up with them ! Carr might squeak out a half decent season or two but expensive and just kicking the can. Be interesting to see what Flores can do with vikings defence and agree, I think for a 4th round Lance was worth a gamble, more for Vikings than Cowboys probably (although think they’ve got their own QB/cap issues coming up). Give him a year behind cousins to learn his trade a bit more and this also maybe puts pressure on cousins not to be too greedy…assuming lance looked decent
Is it any good? I love the Lions one from last yearThis season's Hard Knocks is the Jets. Could be a good one with Rodgers etc
defense still strong. wasting good receivers. Wouldn't be surprised to see Trask over at some time.Bucs are going to be basketcases this year
By week three you’ll be forgiven for thinking our QB’s name is Mayfield Turnover
So much talent will be wasted if Howell can't step up and/or the O line can't stop him getting mauled. Curious to see what Bienemy can do without a Mahomes and Kelce.I have no idea what to expect with the Commanders. Though, the words abject failure do spring to mind.
Who is favourite for the Super Bowl? KC or Eagles?

Not that surprised lions beat chiefs. Circle of NFL life - Detroit now loaded (because they've been terrible) with young high draft picks on rookie contracts.
Chiefs got away with average WRs last season because Kelce helped them get away with it. No Kelce last night, average WRs that couldn't hold onto passes and a huge Chris Jones hole in their defense/pass rush. Also Mahomes contract really starting to bite from a cap perspective.
Mahomes' contract will be about creating cap space. His cap hit is massive. All these big contracts do end up biting - look at Bucs problems with Brady's even after he retired. Costing them 35 m this season. Underpaid argument is more related to the silly amounts some of the 2nd tier QBs have been getting. It is one of the reasons he's having to play with average WRs. Kelce's deal is also being pushed up by large deals for lesser TEs.Great game. As you say, not a major surprise with Kelce and Jones out. The joy of the nfl with the draft system. Also Lions did well with goff deal getting two first round picks, last years behind high after poor Rams season
Mahomes is currently underpaid, so’s kelce. They reckon Mahomes might get new deal in coming weeks
That Browns defense is much improved as well.Burrows missing pre season combined with crazy package didn’t look good tonight as a unit
Maybe I need to put them down every week. What a second half turn around!Being a Giants fan is a hard watch so far this season
When Howell learns to process quicker he could be a decent QB - was the same in college. Plus your IOL isn't great - Cosmi should be playing tackle.What a turnaround for the Commanders!! 21-3 down and went on to win the game.
What the hell was that time management right at the end?Vikings throw away another one. comedy of errors both sides of the ball. One more loss and they may well trade Cousins to the Jets.
Not the first time he's fucked up at the end.What the hell was that time management right at the end?
My God, you can't even get their name right.Go Fins
My God, you can't even get their name right.
Couldn't hear the playcall from the coaches due to crowd noise. Whole thing is messy.What the hell was that time management right at the end?
The it should be instinct to get to the line of scrimmage and spike the ball to give them more time.Couldn't hear the playcall from the coaches due to crowd noise. Whole thing is messy.
Losing Russell Wilson to the Broncos was a bitter pill but it's been sweetened by how mind-bendingly awful they are
