Minnesota Vikings Discussion: Skoloholics – 9/29/2026

Screenshot 2026-07-13 093634_edited

Happy Kirktuesday, Monday’s ugly sister. In case any of you missed it, the Vikings traded JJ McCarthy to the Giants for a bag of balls and two jock straps. I hate to see them give up on him, but he must not have been coachable. Or maybe the coach doesn’t know how to develop him.

Thought of the day: what if Brosner have developed to the point of being a viable #2?

Not saying i have any evidence, but why would we need a QB3, if he was not capable? Most teams dont use a qb3

That guy should not be on an NFL roster….

Hard to believe this brain trust cannot do better.

Fun part is, he will see playing time, and probably soon.

Murray is so bad that he just runs around trying to see if someone is open. No timing throws at all. He will get hurt again soon.

Wentz will eventually collapse again, due to age and numerous previous injuries.

Then we get the joy of watching Brosmer.

Northwoods
Reply to  Surly Viking
29 September 2026 3:18 pm

Murray can’t throw timing passes because he can’t see over the line.

Is Brosmer just being activated because he’s now the emergency QB? Or is there an issue with Murray or Wentz?

Emergency QB has to be on the active roster.
I thought maybe they could do one of the weekly call ups and then designate him as QB3.
That would get them thru the bye week at least to bring someone in.

probably worse. If we were still paying Kirko’s agent (IF he never left for ATL) the team would be broke and the O line would be even worse than it is.

If we took him instead of Murray this season and paid what LV is paying, we would be much better off than today.

Skoloholics Pick ‘Em League Update #3

Pick ‘Em League is stupid, and I hate it. I checked scores on Sunday and all looked good. I was on my way to nailing it. I already planned how I would spend all of my points on a Kirk Cousins jersey. Then I checked later, and all the games I had in the bag ended with the wrong team winning. Maybe next week I can ensconce myself in Kirkness…

The humble JacksonVike continues to hold the number one position. He’s gone from worst to first compared to last season. This kind of improvement is suspect. I don’t want to start rumors, but I’m also thinking performance enhancers. Once a guy gets that first taste of Viagra, they want more.

Mjolnir is only four points behind in second place. I think this is his first year, so we won’t chalk the performance up to “vitamins.” I think what we have here is a much more simple case of possible witchcraft.

Bowbunch and peterplaysbass are neck-and-neck in third and fourth place. Only two points separate them. Both of them erupted up from the bottom of the pack. Since they started out bad and got good, their performance is also suspicious. If it is not drugs or witchcraft, what else is left? We can only surmise they made a deal with the Green Bay Packers at a crossroad at midnight. The amount of cheese exchanged must have been astronomical. I hope it was worth it to them.

Me and PA are in a perfectly mediocre position. We are in striking distance of the bottom podium position, but we keep sucking too much.

Meanwhile, Surly is picking games correctly like a modern-day Nostradamus. Unfortunately, he is assigning confidence points like a drunken whore governor assigning taxpayer funds to honest organizations. Which is to say, poorly.

DE is bringing up the rear. That’s okay. All us other players have firm, proud buttocks for him to look up upon.

All of us got the Buffalo, Detroit, KC, SF and Baltimore games correct. All of us got the GB, Cinci and Seattle games wrong.

We had two Genius Picks. JacksonVike is the only one who had the Browns. Surly, of course, was the only one who had the Bears.

We only had one Iconoclast Pick, which also doubles as the only Traitor Pick. DE took the Bucs to beat the Vikes. I was very close to taking the Bucs myself. We traditionally have issues in Tampa Bay. Plus, it was 84 degrees. Plus, Vikes. But I abstained.

Biggest surprise of the week for me was the Bears murdering the Eagles. I guess the demise of the Bears is exaggerated. Oh well, it was fun to see Case Keenum again.

Onto Week Four! Get your picks in before the Thursday game! I don’t think I will be online tomorrow to send a reminder. I’m going to skip work and maybe pay attention to my wife briefly, so she leaves me alone at more strategic times. You got to lay the groundwork for such things in advance.

Edge since you were being polite and asking, I sing in a band. I told you that a long time ago when it first started, maybe a year ago, you were gone for awhile so dont fault you for forgetting. I’ve also brought that up or mentioned it maybe a total of two times in 3 years. I also dont force it, or brag about it, or really care, especially on here.

Side note, I dont like personal attacks either. I also dont like people that think they know everything and everyone should just listen to them. Dude literally thought that, typed it and clicked post, then caught heat for it and deleted it. But yeah, im a problem with personal attacks.

You ever feel like in these situations the offense is a bit simplified for the backup to start BUT that just allows them to just play the game at a faster pace and just go out there an play the game? How many times have we seen a backup come in, they look great then the next week, not so much. I know the other side of that is the defense gets to scheme for that backup now.

Was reading a piece this morning that made some sense, to me anyway.
It was saying Johnson used his basic concepts, but altered plays and schemes to play to Keenum’s strengths and what he could do.
Watching last Sunday’s game, seems our offense is made for guys like Darnold,Cousins, even Wentz, but not so much for guys like JJ and Murray.
Murray just looks like a fish out of water standing in the pocket with all those huge guys around him. Damn, can’t KOC adjust some and get him moving around.

And to me that’s on the Coach. Quit trying to put a square peg in a round hole. Look what happens when you taylor it to who you have. Or if your system is so rigid it can’t work outside of that style of QB then make damn sure you have that style of QB or… adjust the system.

Yeah, that’s my struggle. There’s no perfect team, but the lack of offensive production will cause our record to look much worse in the future and guarantee another early exit from the playoffs (if we make it) and missing out on top QB talent again.

Points taken, but Keenum had a great year with an advanced system he basically had to learn on the fly (until the team imploded after that first drive).

I really think mentality plays a big part. Guys like Keenum and Favre just see the field differently and have more of a “throw the ball downfield” attitude.

Correct.
That is/was the dynamic that gave him an edge and led to solid production.

If he’s going to just be scared and dance with himself in the pocket, put in Wentz.

Indeed, that was his one redeeming quality. If he can’t or won’t use his scrambling ability bench him for Wentz. Small sample size, but Kyler seems to have lost what little mojo he might have had.

Kirko playing well for the Raiders. Some folks point out that Kyler’s bad, bad game on Sunday is a statistical anomaly compared to his historical performances and that he will certainly play better in the upcoming games.

I was at the game, I think he probably looked worse in person. HE IS SOO SHORT. He looked rattled and indecisive. I am skeptical that he will play better.

Older dogs have more trouble with the anesthesia and getting through it. Hope it’s just that and he will make a full recovery.

He’s 5, but he ate something that got stuck (velcro). Puked some out and started getting better so the vet didn’t do x rays. Apparently the part left got stuck over the weekend so when they did surgery he was in pretty rough shape. I’ve been dreading this since I complained about him constantly eating my wife and kids’ socks and MT warned me about this. It’s been a long weekend and was a long night. Any minute now I either get a really good call or a really bad one.

I fully expect of he recovers nothing will change but I’m worried the weekend timing may have may it too bad. Doc said the intestines were irritated but not necrotic but he was pretty dehydrated I guess too. Hopefully the iv fluids helped him push the rest of the anesthesia drugs out over night. Not sure if it’s good or bad that they haven’t called yet and they opened 20 minutes ago.

Dumb Labs, they just eat shit. Bubba will get overzealous on a stick from time to time and can sense me sneaking up on him to wallop him (with the stick). Fortunately he has had zero GI issues. Our first choco, Tuck, ate rocks, broke two teeth, had so many episodes of emesis I felt like I was on call living with him, I got woke up so many times by his pleading eyes staring at me to go out. I think Tuck was a genetic nightmare. Bubba has had no health problems so far (knock on wood).

Indiana Bears have a better coach than we do, and Keenum and Bagent would both be huge upgrades to our QB room.

Instead, either in order to not hurt Murrays feelings, or just to be completely dishonest about JJ and his ability (and coaches inability to develop him) they dump him for nothing and now we will get to see Brosmer at some point this year.
