We've learned two things from Brad today:

- Last December, the Lions defense was "elite".

- It's a big deal to beat Indy when they are in the midst of a four game losing streak (or 1-5 since Nov 2).

I feel like Ohtani at batting practice.

Come on man. They only needed a 56 yard FG at the buzzer to beat them. Yeah, SD didn't throw a TD in that game and had 2 very bad INT's but when you're up against......checking my notes.......44 YO Grampa Rivers who came back just for that game IN Seattle, you can't possibly win if SD doesn't have his A game

Bummer about the latest JJM injury. WTF was O'Neal doing there? Burns is second in the league in sacks and you let him get a free run at your QB? Burns is one of them guys like Parsons & Garrett, need to know where he's lining up every play.

26-6 since the beginning of 2024

I can't figure you people out. Apparently you don't like winners.

O'Neal confirmed that he did his assignment. Burns was meant to go unblocked because the inside guy had a more direct route. It was up to JJM to get that to Jefferson, as designed, or dirt it. He did neither and got blown up.

No Vikings named to the Pro Bowl team. "A complete shutout from the Pro Bowl is an exclamation point on the Vikings' expensive failure this season. The team committed nearly $350 million to its 2025 roster"

I think most of us are tired of the regular season participation wins that guys like Cousins/Darnold would give us. I was in favor of bringing in Darnold in the first place but also loved that they took JJM at 10. JJM has shown signs he can be a good QB but the obvious injury concerns are the main talking point. If your boy Darnold gets to the NFC champ and/or beyond, then you can brag and we'll owe you an apology.

Somewhere in there is an analogy involving an expensive club, charging expensive champagne, and hangovers.

Actually it's 26-7 since the beginning of 2024.

Playoff games simply don't exist in your regular season version of the NFL.

God you are so desperate...

How can we continue to put effort into JJM?

The product on the field is the worst of any QB in memory

AND, he can't stay on the field

I hope we go after QB in first rd again this year, minus Kwesi

In Vikings tradition... managed the absolute worst path:

1) Pass on Darnold resign (understand the logic... but if they went with resign you'd have to imagine playoffs, possible div win, maybe #1 seed)

2) Can't trade up for Drake Maye (not Vikes fault... but a bummer)

3) Pass on Bo Nix (you'd have to imagine playoffs)

4) Pass on Arod (think we'd of all hated it... but you'd have to imagine playoffs)

5) Pick JJM (no history of injuries in college... plagued by injuries and bad play in NFL)

this effing franchise is killing me

#2 is not a possibility, but I can totally picture #s 1, 3 and 4 all ending up with the Vikings still missing the playoffs this season.
