That being said, if the Vikes can invest in other areas, they can be a playoff team next season. Otherwise, they are going to be screwed out of a lot of money by Kirk, since he is on a 3-year deal.

If things go south again for the Vikes next season, I expect a lot of the same drama with Cousins in regards to his future with the Vikings, as we saw here.

I don't see a reason why they can't. If they can't put a quality roster together with 160 million then they have FO issues as bad as we do.

If Alex had stayed healthy I believe we would have been the 6 seed at 9-7. I think that is the main reason Jay kept his job, same for sorry ass bruce

naw, I thought the team was flatten out on offense and defense right around the Alex injury. The play of Alex and the receiving corp was poor...and with the Oline collapsing do to injury, I don't it would have mattered. I thought it was telling that Colt came in and played better than Alex immediately.

Plus the defense played right around the 12-9 ranked in the league the first half....not bad. But the second half of the year it fell off to around 20-25 in the league. It had an impact.

Despite of what fans think, Alex gave the team confidence and leadership (Keim tweeted about this). I think the lack of confidence by the team, was partly responsible for the breakdown we've seen. I'm not justifying it, especially with the defense, given that they were relatively healthy, but it happened.

The Skins ended up what they should have been all year. 7 or 8 wins. This team isn't loaded by any means and we have the worst WR core n the NFL.

33 YO Adrian Peterson was our MVP this yr, let that sink in

Why you gonna diss our real MVP Tress Way like that? No touchbacks this year with this offense on the field? Historic.

Do you mean in general or as starter? I haven't seen anything other than this

My bet is he is back but will lose his job by mid season.

Oh this guy... Remember when he went on an way too long in depth analysis of a bad throw he had? Talking about pass protection, passing on TEs and ETs... Now he's teaching Thielen how to run a route...
