Give Mullens a shot, can’t be any worse

It could actually be a lot worse.

He would at least try to throw it, which would be fun to watch

He's got a bit of Jameis in him. Um, allegedly.

 

[Todem]

Kupp…..is alive.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

mac jones as a project sounds fun. Great middle name. McCorkle sounds like a WR name though.

 

[The_Man]

Oh hey maybe throwing it to Kupp is a good idea

 

[Mister CIA]

He was down.

 

[mr roboto]

Worth a try but he was down.

 

[dickey moe]

Williams is lucky he didn't hurt his knee.

 

[irish eyes]

Stupid challenge, clearly down.

 

[fred_1_15301]

Yeah he was down. Probably still a good move to challenge it.

 

[Snotbubbles]

I just saw a slow motion highlight where Matt Stafford, the nearly 40 year-old quarterback went on a design rollout. I don’t think they’ve done that with Sam all game. Every single drop back looks exactly the same.

I think KOC thinks he’s better than he actually is and I think he needs to find a play caller. I think he’s great at designing intricate downfield passing routes, but he does not have any other tools in his bag.

He didn't read the Snotbubbles gameplan of how to attack the Rams defense earlier in this thread. If you drop back 40 times you allow their smaller D line to attack and get push. If you run the ball, you let your bigger guys push their line around. By the second half, those smaller guys don't want to take the hits and it becomes easy to move the ball.

Sounds like you would like this matchup for the Eagles

I'm not sad about this outcome.

 

[irish eyes]

The entire Viking organization thought this was week 1 of the preseason.

 

[The_Man]

Bad challenge. Just because you need a turnover is no reason to waste a challenge on a wish, just making a bad situation worse

 

[Mitchie]

Good to see Kupp ended his retirement, after his catch could see him looking at the ball wondering what the leather thing in his hands was.

 

[Desert_Power]

AVG

 

[IHEARTFF]

This is classic matchup playoff stuff. Vikings did not adjust. Unfortunately for the Rams, the Eagles are a brutal matchup for them. Saquon is gonna go for another 175 easy.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Shocking to see the Vikings go 14-2 and send a whole bunch of guys to the Pro Bowl and then watch them go 0-2 their last 2 games and get bounced Wildcard Weekend
I feel bad for them on some level, at least would have liked to see them play a competitive game vs the Rams

This kind of performance last couple weeks by Darnold gives folks a reason to pause before giving him a lot of money

 

[irish eyes]

I would say go no huddle but is Darnold still going to be the QB.

 

[mr roboto]

They just need to start chucking it downfield.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Jared Allen is a good analyst. I’d like to see more of him on broadcasts.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Would this be the biggest comeback in Vikings history?

 

[mr roboto]

Would this be the biggest comeback in Vikings history?

Um - 33-0 colts 2 years ago.

Ok, so totally do-able. That’s the spirit!

 

[NickRocks]

Kind of wild that Minnesota is going to go 14-4 with all 4 losses going to Detroit and the Rams.

Lost to Lions in week 7
Lost to Rams in week 8

Lost to Lions in week 18
Lost to Rams in Wild Card Weekend

Back to back weekends both times...

 

[irish eyes]

Darnold's agent must be miserable. What a horrible performance.. again. Some will be dumb enough to sign him. Teams are so desperate for QBs.

 

[skol asylum]

Pretty good coverage = hand clamped on jersey.on NFL.neck logo. geez.

I'm starting to see a pattern.

Eagles beat Packers in regular season.
Eagles beat Packers in playoffs.

Eagles beat Rams in regular season.
Eagles beat Rams in playoffs.

Eagles beat Washington in regular season.
Eagles beat Washington in playoffs.

Eagles beat Baltimore in regular season.
Eagles beat Baltimore in playoffs.

Should of to.d him to fake an injury in week 17

[skol asylum]

HFS a Vikings TD

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Wow those were some bad passes to have back to back big plays on.

I would have advised him to just play better, but . . .

 

[IHEARTFF]

Go for 2 and get it you animals

 

[The Dude]

People be way to tough on darnold

 

[NickRocks]

Nice catch of a terrible pass

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Darnold is actually, statistically, having a solid game.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

People be way to tough on darnold

He sure hasn’t quit.

 

[fred_1_15301]

Wow those were some bad passes to have back to back big plays on.

Yeah even on the good drive he didn't look good. The passes were all off but he was bailed out by some very nice catches. I don't see anything close to a comeback here.

 

[fruity pebbles]

Wow those were some bad passes to have back to back big plays on.

They basically scored in spite of Darnold

Cmon.

 

[IHEARTFF]

That was not the 2 pt play I had in mind

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

That was not the 2 pt play I had in mind

Yeah, I’ll never understand throwing short of the stripe. Like throwing short of the sticks on 4th down. I never like those plays.

 

[The Gator]

That was not the 2 pt play I had in mind

Nothing like trying to gain two yards and throwing for -2

 

[Donnybrook]

Could of called DPI on Harry.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Vikes score quickly and it’s a game.

 

[fred_1_15301]

Did that undershirt just stop Nacua from breaking free?

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

That looked like a designed 1st read. It just didn’t work.

I kinda hate those bubble screens. Back in the day, the Raiders uses to try to run them every 3rd play and they never worked.

 

[skol asylum]

Hold the other team to 2/8 on 3rd down. Losing on the scoreboard 27-9.

 

[SoBeDad]

Could of called DPI on Harry.

Looked like textbook DPI. Not playing the ball, hands in the face.

 

[The Gator]

Did that undershirt just stop Nacua from breaking free?

either that or he's Woody

 

[Donnybrook]

WTF is Warren G?
