That one sure hurt.
But we sure showed them the next year in a preseason game, though ... if I'm remembering correctly

Didn't our defense keep falling for the trap play too?

Watching other teams…

Mobile and accurate QB’s everywhere.

Able to avoid a pas rush and keep plays alive..

Lamar Jackson and Baltimore are eating SanFrancisco for lunch, in SF..

Purdy having a Mullet game.. 4 picks..

Remember what a funny joke it was when no teams wanted anything to do with Lamar this offseason when he was negotiating with Baltimore? Any team could have made an offer for him and not one even called him. If only he drove a van and said ‘golly gosh’ a lot maybe he would have been more coveted as a qb.

Now that Brady is gone, we may get a run of mobile QBs winning the Super Bowl, to the point where people will be saying "You have to have a mobile QB to win the Super Bowl nowadays".

Kirk's next contract could be affected by how well any non mobile QBs do in the playoffs.

IF the non-mobile QBs are all ousted in the 1st round of the playoffs, Kirk might not be getting top dollar.

Kirk will be 36 recuperating from a torn Achilles, those 2 facts should prevent top dollar.

The organization also has a history of signing fan favorites presumably for the purpose of making sure every seat is filled at every game. Kirk could have a leg amputated and our fanbase would still be screaming to pay him top dollar.

Well said.

KC fans are more than happy to 'put out' on the singular chance of a Cousins playoff victory because 'anything can happen' ...

somehow that beats moving on and trying to make the franchise routinely competitive in the playoffs.

Anything can happen, lol. Since Cousins has just one playoff win in 12 years, what are the odds of him stringing together two consecutive wins? Or three?

Perhaps people live vicariously through him, to include collecting $35+ million a year.

I saw how Flacco was able to move in the pocket---we don't necessarily need a running QB.....Brady knew how to move around in the pocket (as one of the best cherry picked examples).

Flacco impressed me the last 2 games....out both their starting Tackles---he reminded me of what Brady did.....a couple steps away from pressure at the right time; mobility is a plus but pocket presence is the biggest key.

In the realm of Vikings Twitter, once Kirk's injury happened, there was initially the awkward two weeks where the team, led by Dobbs, won the next two games. Since then, once the losses started to come, it's been a nonstop deluge of "we would have won that one easily with Kirk" all the way to "the NFC would be ours if we still had Kirk". I like to pop my own comments into the feed like "we'd be 13-0 (or insert whatever number corresponds to the current week) if Kirk never got hurt!". Anyway - the injury seems to be the best thing that ever happened to Kirk fans as now they can speculate the almost certain Super Bowl victory, NFL MVP, and Super Bowl MVP that the injury robbed us of.

Weird thing is they hate or make fun of: 1) people and fans like him as a person and 2) he is religious....

Disagree.

Person A likes thing 3
Person B does not
Person A feels attacked

This is the world and why we can’t have progress and change.

Projection and ownership of the negative.

“I really like that thing they think is stupid. They must think I’m stupid!”

And around we go…

It isn't just they don't want Kirk to be QB.

When we were 13-4 they were quiet.....but this year and the last Zimmer year.....

I think that there are 3 types of Anti Cousins fans.

1) Contract is too high for the results(majority)
2) Fake Christian who makes me sick(minority but very vocal)
3) Both of above

I'm hoping we move on with a lower priced option(rookie) because he has had his chances and it is time to move on.

Plus, KCDS gets pretty old.

You think I was “ quiet” while the team was going 13-5 and one and done?

What a revisionist you are…

We won 11 games that season on pure luck and fluke plays..

Buffalo…

Comes to mind..

The TEAM bailed him and KOC’s ass out, by creating improbable, and record setting wins in 1 score games..

That 13-5 season is the only reason KFC has 8 games above a .500 career win %.

We went 4-4 with “ Saint Kirk” and his hypocrisy of faith..

He is a false idol of QB play, and the Stans worship the very toilet he shits in.

It’s been Six seasons…

What has this team accomplished with this dweeb at QB?

Making the playoffs is a really, really low bar..

Especially when making the playoffs is a one game soul crushing disappointment, year after year.

**** the stats..

**** his “wholesomeness “

He will NEVER win when it matters…

Not with the chickenshit play calling and play not to lose mentality of the Head Coach and QB combination.

Our cap situation is a hot FN mess, and we have players FAR more valuable than KFC, to use that cap money on.

Move on…

FFS.
