Gentlemen, start your interviews - Tuesday 12/28

In the last 15 seasons, teams that intercepted 3 passes in a game while committing 2 of fewer penalties had a win-loss record of 35-1 (.972).

With the Vikings loss to the Rams, that's now 35-2.

Leftwich is worthy of consideration. We really need to find an innovative offensive mind that can take this team to the next level, and they may be forced to do it with Mond at QB. No way Cousins will be back at his $45 million cap hit next year, and I don't see him willing to take a pay cut. He put up good numbers this season and will definitely get a team to pony up a hefty new contract for him after he is cut. 

I forgot about his extension being fully guaranteed in 2022 so cutting him won't happen, but a trade is very likely with the Vikings eating a portion of his salary. That would free up $35 million if we can find a trade partner.

Fangio & LaFleur (AHC) combo to me would be best. 

Fangio takes over the defense, LaFleur is the future HC

No offense but is this a joke?

Fangio is a bigger dinosaur with a worse offense than Zimmer. Also what Lafleur are you referring to? I must be ignorant (likely!) but the only NFL Lafleur i know is the GB HC, who’s definitely not coming here.

That's an astounding stat. Offense and defense never in sync. Watching the Vikings is like trying to put the same ends of a magnet together.

I just dont get Leftwich as a hot candidate....Me thinks he's the benefactor of having that cast on offense, especially Brady. 

I dont like Leftwich either as I also think he’s a Brady benefactor. Their running plays never look right and then look at their receiving weapons. He may be good, I just lean towards the group of guys on offense making him look good

Tampa Org did things right, hired correct coach, built OL and DL, then got a QB that could win.  

Dallas, Forty Niners  same to lesser degree

We were, and still are, locked in on the $45 million to Cousin's even if we drafted Fields or Mac.  The only way out is a trade, and that takes 2 to tango, or another renegotiation (I puked a little in my mouth).  

With Cousin's 45 million hit we are already the team most over the CAP for 2022 according to Spotrac.  

He has us by the nads and he is asking us to cough, mask free

Fairly certain it’s the Saints who are the team most over 2022 cap. Vikes are 4th?

Oh good, 4th worst, I feel much better

GB coach LaFleur has a brother. OC for Jets. Under Shanahan for a few years before Jets.

Thank you! I didn’t know that. Still not too fired up about Fangio but I’ll have to look into Lil’ LaFleur more.
