We are your bridge from the Viking past to the present. Classic Viking memories (video/photos/stories) and current content.

@BeatoIv He is actually statistically only comparable to a few QBs who made it big. He compares closer to the busts. A lot of that is due to his mechanics and inaccuracy. His glass body does not help either

[VikeFans @VikeFans]

I have seen every QB imaginable linked to the Vikings for next year. One who is never mentioned is JJ McCarthy. Could they really give up on him this quickly on a rookie contract? Don't get me wrong, they guy shows me little.

[VikeFans @VikeFans]

@passionflower92 Competent QB play would have got you at least 1-2 more wins

[VikeFans @VikeFans]

The funny part of today is that Viking fans are saying if we had Sam Darnold we'd be in the Super Bowl. C'Mon guys this is the Vikings, we would have found a way to blow it in the first playoff game.

[VikeFans @VikeFans]

Do you realize that is both the big mistakes and little mistakes that doom teams? Sure, letting Sam Darnold turned out to be the wrong move, but had we even kept Nick Mullens, we would have had a passing game and probably beat out the Packers for a playoff spot.

[VikeFans @VikeFans]

@miikkkke Not true. GM makes the personnel calls

[VikeFans @VikeFans]

@passionflower92 He wanted to stay and we offered him a stink bid

[VikeFans @VikeFans]

While so many fans are agonizing that Sam Darnold left and is now in the NFC Champ game, I will root for him today to win. He gave this town 14 wins last year and made for a great season. He is not to fault for leaving. Go sSm!

@chapscott56 Charley never has any inside information. He just guesses.

[VikeFans @VikeFans]

@VaSheriff1776 Nor do I care what you think

[VikeFans @VikeFans]

Do any of you remember this tidbit?

[VikeFans @VikeFans]

So many people talking about Brian Flores to Vegas or surmising that Baltimore is a spot for him. That may happen, but keep Pittsburgh in the back of your mind as a potential destination if he does leave.

[VikeFans @VikeFans]

Ben Johnson proving the go for it every time on 4th down deep in your own territory isn't as smart as you thought it was. So risky - it isn't Madden football! Sometimes you punt!

[VikeFans @VikeFans]

Al Michaels proving tonight what JB (James Brown) has for years - apparently, the human male's hair grows jet black as they reach 60 and 70 years of age. Just darken it boys, don't wash your hair with burnt motor oil!

@oldrichguy333 Just watch...

@Skolmark3124 They will add a veteran QB who can start, but that won't happen til after the Super Bowl. Flores is being courted, but who knows if and where he might go. He is qualified to be a Head Coach but his lawsuit has certainly been an impediment to many teams

[VikeFans @VikeFans]

My namesake, former Colts OC Tom Moore perfectly describes how this year felt for MIN to me at QB. Jon Gruden asked him why backup QBs did not get reps in practice during the Peyton Manning years. Moore replied "If 18 goes down, we are f*cked". We don't practice f*cked"

[VikeFans @VikeFans]

@GOaks5050 True - he has prototype QB traits, but as a youngster, the game is simply too fast for him

[VikeFans @VikeFans]

Stating on QB rating, Max Brosmer was 7 of 8 for 91 yards and a 96 QB rating today. The numbers are deceiving to me, as that is almost starter-level stats.

[VikeFans @VikeFans]

@JimWrobel2 You finish the drive - MIN was mainly running at that point. He is so quick to give in. I get it, if he can't grip the ball, but he does not seem to power through any injury

[VikeFans @VikeFans]

Observation #21 in MIN win vs GB – JJ McCarthy, like Christian Ponder, doesn’t tough out injuries-ready, willing & able to pull himself from games. Cousins only missed if an Achilles tear. Darnold missed nothing. 2026 has to bring a veteran to do this job while JJ learns.
