Who do the Minnesota Vikings want to be in 2025?
Already this week, I’ve received emails from a reader/podcast listener asking if the Vikings would consider using their franchise tag on cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. and another querying whether I’m “hearing anything about the Vikings plans for upgrading the offensive line.” Those are good and specific questions, as is the watercooler chatter about what the… Continue reading Who do the Minnesota Vikings want to be in 2025?
Vikings want ‘consistency’ from refs after defense’s TD is overturned
“Of course, us players, we’re gonna be a little biased, so we have our opinions,” Cashman said. “I guess it was replay assist or something, so usually those guys get it right, and I’ll keep my opinion to myself.” Since the fumble was overturned to an incomplete pass, Greenard’s sack – which would’ve been a… Continue reading Vikings want ‘consistency’ from refs after defense’s TD is overturned

Sam Darnold can take the Vikings as far as they want to go
The duality of veteran quarterback Sam Darnold is something that has come to define the Vikings at different points of this season. He has the arm talent to make some throws that completely defy logic. He also has the irrational confidence to take some risks that probably shouldn’t be taken.
