    On the McCarthy Trade and Week 3 Observations (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    NOTE: This article was 90% complete when the news broke that J.J. McCarthy had been traded to the New York Giants for a 2027 5th-round pick. My thoughts on the trade? Glad you didn’t ask. Not a fan. Nah, I hate it. Why? Let me count the ways: First, it’s official: we’ve now blown through three 1st-round QBs in 15 years. It makes me sick. Now we have zero QBs signed for next season. Wonderful. What’s the strategy? If Kyler Murray turns it around and looks like 2018 Patrick Mahomes, what’s the gua

    Week 3 Preview: A Desperate and Dangerous Opponent (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Minnesota Vikings are on the road again in Week 3, traveling to Tampa Bay to face a desperate and dangerous Buccaneers team. They are desperate because, at potentially 0-3, they face only about a 3% chance to recover and make the playoffs. And it’s only that high because the Houston Texans managed it last year, which was oddly their second time achieving the rare feat (2018). Dangerous because they are arguably the NFL’s most consistently inconsistent team. It would not surprise me if they w

    Week 2 Observations: A Messy but Satisfying Win (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The Minnesota Vikings won a hard-fought but ugly 9-3 victory over the Chicago Bears on a wet, messy Soldier Field Sunday to move to 2-0 in the young 2026 season. They’ve now won seven straight on the road against the Bears; better yet, that puts them 2-0 in the NFC North (and NFC) in the early race for a division crown and for advantageous playoff seeding. The staff at the DN did their usual stellar job recapping the highlights from the satisfying win here, here, and here. No need for me to be r

    Week 2 Preview: The Search for Seven in a Row (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Minnesota Vikings aim to win back-to-back division games this Sunday as they travel to Soldier Field to face the defending NFC North champion Chicago Bears. Dammit, that doesn’t sound right. It will be the search for seven straight wins at Soldier Field, which also feels weird. Maybe because nothing ever comes easy there. Five of the six wins were one-score games. And the previous 15 trips before that? That would be 3-12. The emotional hangover from the thrilling Week 1 win over the Green Ba

    Week 1 Observations: A Thrilling Win (with Red Flags) (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    For the second straight season, the Minnesota Vikings realized there are no longer four preseason games and woke up in the 4th quarter to deliver a satisfying (if frustrating) Week 1 victory. It was also historic: the Vikings were the first team in NFL history to be down by 12+ points with under 20 minutes left in regulation and still win by 17+ points. Let’s hope what follows is a much more successful run through December. The team’s resolve. After witnessing their starting quarterback go down
