Started watching this team during the 2009 run and had no idea at the time that OT loss would be the closest they’d come to reaching the SB for the next 17 years. IMO this is the best they’ve looked since then.
We haven’t had it easy as fans. Yes there have been miraculous plays and some incredible highs but it always ends in something crushing. Two years ago, going into the lions game, I said to my buddy “We might actually have a shot this year”. They proceeded to shit down their leg in the most Vikings way imaginable, giving up 9 sacks and never looking remotely competitive. I’m tired of it. The Eagles, 49ers, Rams and Packers have all taken turns killing us in the playoffs the last 15 years. And do you know what they’ve all done recently? Made big splash acquisitions for all pro caliber players.
They need to make a hard run at Jonathan Taylor. We can’t count on KOC’s play calling and this will give us a simple game plan that takes him out of the equation. It will make us significantly less QB dependant, fixing the two biggest problems on offence simultaneously. Walker looks great on the chiefs and Barkley, Henry and Mcafferey have all helped their teams immensely. I don’t see why JT can’t have that effect for us.
Flores is taking QB’s to the wood shed, Reichard is absolutely nails and Price is flipping field position every time he touches the ball. Teasley needs to , capitalize on this opportunity. If not JT then look at Buckner or Buddha Baker. Adding another stud DT with Turner, Cashman, AVG and Redmond or putting BB beside the Hitman will have us looking even scarier. Let’s take advantage of this gift of a season and actually go all in, cause there are no guarantees in this league.
SKOL!!
