It’s 1000% Sam the bum Darnold won’t be back.

You are probably right on that. He'll be the scapegoat after winning 14 games.

Scapegoat?

He is a deer in the headlights, wall flower, wilting Willy, sloth field reader, tunnel vision, crutch needing, drop back and take a 15yard sack, stat queen.. just… like.. KFC..

I wouldn’t sign him for vet minimum..

I’m so glad we are not paying him a ****ing dime going forward..

He S U C K S!…..

Just quit with the hyperbolic, 13-year-old speak. You sound like a bitter juvenile. Talk like an adult, and I'll be willing to have a conversation. If not, you can talk to yourself.

I understand Vikings fans being upset. I get it. It's a loss in the playoffs.

However, I can't get behind the black and white argument that one person lost this game. That's just emotional and childish.

You mean what you have done with Kirk for say the 7 years he was here? It isn't emotional or childish.....it is proof from ESPN Research.
It is emotional or childish to not see the 2 qbs out there last night. One making the line checks and hot routes and making the throws and not taking the sacks....the other was Sam.

hyperbole?

I stand by my evaluation of SD because his “ 14 wins” .. were against the trash teams on our schedule…

Rams? Nope..

Detroit?

Nope..

What teams are still in the playoffs?

GB?

Nope..
Vikes? Nope..

14 wins.. and one and done..

Go masterbate in a corner with your waifu, SD boddy pillow, while the real adults discuss how to fix this mess, without a dipshit at QB…..Darnold GAVE UP 82 yards and 14 points on turnover, all by himself..

Sam sloth, single handedly LOST THE GAME..

BLOCK me..
Like I give a ****..

Should have the foresight and balls to know Sam had folded his chair and wasn’t going to recover. Should have started Daniel’s.

You are probably right on that. He'll be the scapegoat after winning 14 games.

It is all about the QB play in the playoffs.....you know the Kirk checkdown on 4th down when he was aces all game. That is the job. None of the 32 teams will give him more than 12-15 million....he has been exposed by the last 2 teams....blame KOC but he hid his weaknesses most of the season.

You can only do so much. Joe Montana wasn't winning that game. Kansas City is the only remaining team in the playoffs with an offensive line similar to the Vikings. Ultimately, it will be their undoing as well. But with Andy Reid and Mahomes they will find a way to make it interesting. Why? Because they understand their weaknesses and how to offset them.

O'Connell's time management and use of timeouts is just abysmal. I lost almost all faith in his leadership the past two weekends. His inability to adjust was the topper.

I'm not propping up O'Connell nor the oline, but you can't hold the ball for 6 seconds like Darnold was doing.

One side of the ball, although not great, only allowed 20 points. The other allowed 7 and scored 9. Special teams as always did absolutely nothing. Which side of the ball does KOC leave alone? The one that actually did a good enough job to win. But some will never ditch the Golden Boy.

Darnold was struggling to see the field for sure. At least put someone else in if you see it isn't working. What do you have to lose. On top of that we rely too much on Jefferson and he wasn't getting separation on single coverage. KOC doesn't seem to ever adjust.

KOC calls the original play and the mic cuts out with 10-15 seconds left. Then the QB calls the check downs, Block adjustments, and hot routes. Sam was the one not adjusting to the blitzes.

So you just can't pull Darnold no matter what? Of course it probably wouldn't have mattered but you owe it to the team to try. On top of that he left the starters out all last week and for what??

Agree. I was calling for Mullins in the 2nd qtr because clearly Sam wasn't going to get the job done. I'm not saying Mullins would have but as a HC don't you owe it to your players to try?

You are nuts. Remember what happened with Zimmer his last year and what has happened 2 of the 3 years KOC has done w/o as much talent. Kwesi getting fired could be a possibility with Flores being FO/DC.

KOC is a top coach....he has done it with Kirk and Darnold.
