Trade JARED ALLEN .. Visionaries needed / those with a plan / those willing to take it out of neutral. The mindset of most here is lets hold on to him forever – trade him when he is breaking down – maybe we can get a 7th rounder for him … That mentality keeps you in the cellar. Tough decisions need to be made in order to get this franchise rocking forward and putting Allen on the trading block is 1 that needs to happen. A must in order to see the LOMBARDI PARTY someday. PETERSON also .. reconstruct him best as possible and on the trading block – highest bidder wins. The purple goes nowhere withe the current mindset. It is time for some rocking initiatives in order to get the franchise out of flatline mode

Yes, there’s a HUGE market for RBs with torn ACL/MCLs.

Wow how unbelievably pathetic we have become. I predicted 4 wins, can’t even do that. The Vikes have so little talent all they can do is hope to trade down in the draft for a few extra picks. A.P. should have been traded last year, now he has no trade value and a huge contract. We have less to look forward to than any team in the NFL. Across the river they have two qbs better than anything we can come up with and they never have low draft picks. All they do is win and laugh at our ineptitude. The stadium wont matter, no one will come to see this feeble excuse for a team.

I feel fairly confident saying that GB has THREE QBs better than anything the Vikings can come up with.

I had to REPOST this from another comment section. THIS GUY GETS IT. When news announced Vikings were dumb enough to sign AP that mega contract, you should have seen Packer fans cheering in the bars! They knew it was a huge mistake because NFL is a passing league, AP’s a terrible blocker, and AP’s not great at catching passes, so he makes a terrible team player. Didn’t you notice after his injury at Washington that Viking offense had better team chemistry — less predictable — scoring 23 points in 2nd half BECAUSE OF BETTER BLOCKING SCHEMES? And yes any team would love to have AP, but NOT TO WHERE YOU MORTGAGE YOUR FUTURE ON HIM! The Packers, New England, Pittsburgh would NEVER be that dumb! Now the Vikings don’t have TEAM balance because there isn’t enough money to go elsewhere, so why would 3 wins in 15 games be a shock? AP’s over rated, but most of you Minnesotan’s don’t get that which is why your team is 0-for-51 in Super Bowl trophies! And only in Minnesota would AP get rewarded $36M guaranteed contract after what he did in 2009: he cost Vikings No. 1 seed with OT fumble in Chicago and set tone in NFC Championship loss with fumble near 5-year line. Keep up the bad work in personnel decisions in Minnesota, because in Wisconsin they love you!

So it’s all AP’s fault? God help any talented player that ends up on the Vikings.

So Jared Allen finishes 1/2 sack off Strahan’s record. Anyone remember the sack that Strahan got to set the record? It happened when the Packers let Strahan come in untouched and Favre stood there and let himself get sacked. It was probably the only sack in NFL history that ended with both parties smiling and laughing. If the NFL had had any integrity, they would have invoked the equivalent of baseball’s “defensive indifference” when dealing with late inning stolen bases.

Vikings fans hate Brett Favre now? I’m confused.
