Let me get this straight. They're gonna be without AP, Floyd, Kalil, and possibly Rhodes on Sunday. Anyone else I'm missing? 

Ehhhh Kalil is garbage and most Vikings fans can't wait till he's off the team.  Only one of them that could play a factor is Rhodes.

Dang the vikings season is just going down the tank with these injuries.

Sucks they traded away their first round pick for Bradford.  Understand they want to win now but they couldve set themselves up real well next year when healthy

 

I don't think the season is going down the tank at all. Floyd is probably 7th or 8th on the list of best players on our defense. We can get by without him. 

The only big loss in the latest round of injuries is Peterson, but lets not pretend he was setting the world on fire.

As far as trading a 1st for Bradford. Not too worried about it. We have Miami's 3rd and 4th rounders in the next draft on top of our own picks minus the first rounder. Losing it is not going to kill us.

Untrue about Floyd.
Tru'ish about the pick.


Here is how losing the pick hurts us. The Oline needs to be fixed. We need a new LT. Good starting LTs are typically found in the first round. We are either going to have to trade up to get one or go back to Khalil. My opinion is we are going to be stuck with khalil or pray a stud  becomes available via Free Agency.

Harrison Smith

Everson Griffin

Anthony Barr

Eric Kendricks

Xavier Rhodes

Linval Joseph

 

Those 6 players are better and more important to the defense than Floyd.

    • If Canales comes back and Bryce doesn’t I would probably prefer to bring in 3 guys he likes from around the league or maybe outside a top ten pick and work through them, give that a shot. Because if we win a few more games we won’t be in the running for the top rated QB prospects anyway. 
    • You mean tepper but yeah I agree about rhule   Baker is a top 3 potential qb that is play for mvp and he is doing it with a slew of injuries
    • There’s too many to reply to so I’ll just say a couple more things then I’m out: 1. It hasn’t been both ways and that’s the point. People saying stuff like “too bad Bryce Young didn’t make that tackle” is a direct result of the ridiculousness of blaming Bryce Young for literally everything. I remember one game day thread a poster unironically blamed Bryce Young for JT Sanders flipping onto his own neck and injuring himself. That post was pied. I literally just read a post blaming Bryce Young for XL dropping a ball on a would-be game winning drive last year. This past week, when Tmac bounced a ball off his hands for an interception, Bryce Young was immediately blamed in the game day thread. Alternatively, people who try to give credit to Bryce Young are immediately told that to credit Bryce Young is taking away credit from Rico Dowdle, OL, whoever, and that they shouldn’t be talking positively about Bryce Young because he doesn’t deserve any credit. 2. Yes, there have always been bad posters, the difference is that back then they were largely derided. Bryce Young’s rookie season, when many of us were simply pointing at the train wreck of the whole team and saying it was maybe a little tough to evaluate Bryce Young when he had no time to throw and slow receivers, and just saying basic stuff like “Bryce Young can physically throw the ball further than 20 yards.” There was an attempt made to limit all those opinions to a single thread, by a mod. This is like saying lunatics running the asylum is normal because there have always been lunatics in the asylum. The difference is before they were patients, now they’re in charge. 3. I know for a fact I am labeled as one of the “Bryce Stans” by many of the usual suspects, but the fact of the matter is they have no idea what my position is on Bryce Young because any attempts at nuanced discussion in the past have been so completely pointless due to never being able to get past the hyperbole. How can we have a serious conversation if you insist he is physically incapable of throwing a football 20 yards? Or if you insist that he somehow duped the Panthers into drafting him just by drinking water? Or if you insist that he should be able to succeed behind one of the worst offensive lines I’ve ever seen (rookie year, not now). And I’m not the only one, there are many who have left the huddle because of it and started a discord server, I’m just too lazy for another app.
