That's the meme going around

I'm sorry the Vikings offensive line has been horrible wtf are we doing hiring the offensive line coach that they fired?

I live in Minnesota my whole family Vikings fans. I listen to sports radio here and all I ever hear are people complaining about the offensive line. I'm beyond disappointed with this hiring.

NP, see, according to HAM, Hurts will carry them all. No worries 🤣

Vikes OL ranked 29/32 LMAO. Did we just get our wings clipped??

I will give the guy a chance,but jebus. Howie trying to oust Hurts without ousting Hurts LOL. We better keep McKee signed

So here is Hurts big chance,to prove he can play QB without an O line LOLOL. I will hold to my 7-9 prediction. Should be a nice draft pick in '27

Kuper is definitely not looking like a great hire but maybe this is the year he puts it together as it stand right now we have way more talent on our OL then Minnesota so that should help.

Kuper does have a connection with Mannion though being the OL coach in his final season as a QB in 2023…. Kuper also was an asst. OL coach under Fangio in Denver

Now you have reloaded your future O line. Protor can be Lanes replacement even if he has to sit a year. While I like my round 1 picks to start, I can't boot Lane lol. Bisontis can immediately start at RG. Parker the C can also serve as a BU G/C or could replace Dickerson if he hangs it up. Lance/ Cameron can compete for AJ's BU/slot or ST returns. Wright is a promising TE but one who needs work. Payne can be a BU S for now,or possibly work his way into starter as the season moves along. Fano has excellent upside as an edge with some coaching effort. He is moving up boards so may not be available at 201

So nothing to do with the actual players?

Didn’t like 2-3 of the former Vikings player leave Minnesota to be really good.

Garrett Bradbury was just in the SB for NE and didnt give up a sack the entire regular season for them

Ed Ingram is on his way to getting a big payday from the Texans for his play

Erza Cleveland was another player in Minnesota that left and found success.

So definitely seems like it was more then just the players being bad in Minnesota for the OL struggles

In a season such as this, where the Eagles should have at least made it to the SB, I keep asking "What the heck does Siri actually do?" The same guy who was supposed to be fired in '23, had a good OC for for '24 as he cannot run an O, had his incompetent friend sink a loaded O talent wise, causing players to be disgruntled, yet couldn't correct it due to his ineptness, cost us a legendary coach by not listening to him - but listened to his inept friend. Instead of these coaching hires, I really wish he had been replaced as keeping him may have cost us a good HC and the staff he would have brought. I don't want to hear about previous wins - the coordinators and players won those games. I'm also not saying the new staff will definitely fail, I just don't feel as confident as I would have.

Are we going to act like a healthy OL didn’t make the difference? Hurts was horrible passer under Moore to the point they literally had to switch to the ground game.

OL was hurt last year never 100% and it showed and the passing game still sucked.

Though the handling of Stout situation was wrong the ground game actually improved when Siri took over the ground game last season maybe not drastically but again the OL was decimated

You mean like AJ Brown who openly supported KP and who has been openly disgruntled toward the QB?

Numerous reports that have come out about players disgruntled about the QB.

Not many if any reports if I recall were coming out about players unhappy with the coaches not Siri not KP
