The Vikings just signed Matt Cassel to a 2 year deal worth $10 Million. The question is, why? I just double checked vikings.com and they still haven’t announced the signing but it is on NFL.com. Head coach Mike Zimmer has told the media that he wanted to re-sign Cassel. This made me scratch my head. […]
Looking back at the 2013 NFL Football season, it’s clear to me that Leslie Frazier cost Cordarrelle Patterson NFC Rookie of the year. You see this all the time, where coaches say a player has natural talent but is “raw” and keeps them out of the line up until they get “seasoned”. I just couldn’t rap my head […]
As stated in my first post, I am not a journalist, I am a Vikings fan. Not necessarily a fan of the NFL. Since the last seconds ticked of the clock in Seattle, fans and non fans have been bombarded with Super Bowl hype. Richard Sherman has been in the spotlight ever since his post […]
The Super Bowl hasn’t been played yet and many have their mock drafts set up. Most on NFL.com have the Vikings grabbing Blake Bortles out of Central Florida. At 6′-4″ he has the size desired by many but is considered to be a work in progress. I’m not sure Vikings fans are willing to wait […]
The Vikings seemed to have landed the Holy Grail of head coaches if you read the reactions to the hiring from former players and coaches Mike Zimmer has worked with. I react with guarded optimism.

Having watched every game in the 2013 season, I have my idea on where the Vikings need to upgrade. Quarterbacks: I think everyone knows this is the most obvious position that needs to improve. Christian Ponder will either be released or stay on as our #3 QB. Matt Cassell (Free agent) has the ability to be a […]
With the departure of Leslie Frazier, Rick Spielman has to try and throw a Hail Mary. The fallout from recent events (Henderson’s DUI and Klewe’s article) have given us a little insight into the culture in the Vikings locker room. No one has a bad thing to say about Frazier, that’s because he is truly […]
The Minnesota Vikings fell to 6-5 and the Chicago Bears improved to 8-3, but more importantly, the Vikings are now two games out of first place and will likely have to set their sights on the NFC Wildcard race for the playoffs. The Vikings were the first to score with a field goal, but following […]
Today the 6-4 Minnesota Vikings will play the 7-3 Chicago Bears at Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois. If the Vikings lose then they will be two games out of first place in the NFC North, however, if the Vikings win they will either be tied for first, or one game behind the Packers. That is […]
