Can't say i have a good feeling about tonight's game. Just a weird vibe. Monday night playoff game, neutral site. Meaningless now, but as I said elsewhere I was really hoping they'd draw Tampa Bay.

Stafford has taken his pound of flesh from the Vikings and you would be forgiven for believing he'll do it again tonight.

kind of expect he’ll carve us some with their wide outs but think the vikes make enough splash plays to win like 28-24 or something like that. It’s not a great matchup for us though especially with their pass rush getting better. 

Conversely I thought we would’ve killed the bucs or the commanders and I like their chances against Philly.

I just hope Darnold does not go back to looking like he did for the Jets previous seasons and and last week passing over his receivers heads over and over again

Aloha!

Drives me nuts every time when teams not in the playoffs are able to start pursuing coordinators and coaches when they’re trying to focus on their team and preparation for a playoff game they’ve worked all year towards. That’s just messed up to me.

Just like the transfer portals in college being open before all of the bowl games/frozen four is over.  

 

I'm 50% factual and 50% sarcastic. When you get to know me, you will know which is which.

The Rams were ready to take a delay of game unless they got the Vikings to jump.

You can’t make the kind of mistakes you haven’t been making ALL YEAR in a playoff game! F—K! 🤬

I don’t think Stafford was snapping it. And Bullard has a brain fart! 🙁

Stanford was definitely not snapping it. And our offense just as lost as last week

Looks like a replay of the last time we played so far. Gotta clamp down on Nacua and Cupp.

Yet another terrible quarterback-friendly call against the Vikings...  That can't in any world be considered a pass--he has no idea where he is.  That should be a fumble by any stretch of reasonable football, otherwise every quarterback should just do that every play.

Flores is putting some wild blitzes and coverages out there since the first LA possession. 

Still don’t understand how we didn’t block that punt.

I turned on 1 play and that was all I needed.  Oof.  Methinks Sam will enjoy playing in Las Vegas next year 😉

Oh well it was a fun run! (If it's over)

Darnold needs to take off running on some of these quick pressures. He’s not getting much help from the line but he’s gotta react quicker.

Sam thinks he has time to burn a couple cigs and play piano man in the pocket on every drop back.  That’s not the case, bud.

I think the JJ is trade-bait talk has ended.

Ya think? lmao! Darnold is TOAST & the JJ McCarty era starts in 25. Darnold has cost himself tens & tens of millions on 💵 in the span of 8 days! Unbelievable.

The team likely takes a step back with JJ, but I don’t think it matters. You can’t pay Sam when he does this once the games mean something.

Darnold literally lost himself tens of millions of dollars in the last 8 days. Truly unbelievable. 

What a total disaster.

Agree 100%!

Sure, some of it is on KOC & his play calks. Some is the OL. But Darnold doesn’t even look like the same player who torched a solid Green Bay defense x 2

I've said all year that this ride was unexpected and at least the regular season was fun to watch. The problem is, they pealed off 14 wins and suckered the fans in AGAIN. 

Two straight blow outs on a national stage. From KOC/Flores on down, this team is performing like the 6-win team they were predicted to be.

It IS kinda messed up that MN only lost to 2 teams all year.

It’s so frustrating not having a qb that can just take off and move the sticks when everything else breaks down like so many plays in this one. Darnold isn’t scaring any defense and forcing him to be you. At some point do we see Daniel jones warming up?

Jones cannot play unless both Sam and Mullens are injured.

It is crazy to think that the defense actually did okay against the Rams. 

Darnold has been beyond brutal. 

Vikes still need someone other than JJ going into next year to either start the season or backup. Not sure I would give Darnold much of a raise beyond this year if at all.  I expect someone might pay him more and we are looking at Daniel Jones.

Ok? Besides the wide open receivers, 17 points (so far) and looking like Swiss Cheese...granted, they've had their moments, but overall, not great at all.

Someone will offer Darnold Baker money...there just aren't enough quality qbs in the league.  If Deion doesn't end up coaching Vegas (I think he wants Dallas) that is my guess.

My guess is the Vikes sign Jones to play the Darnold part but will make it clear JJ is the future.

Jones as QB2 isn't a bad choice. He ain't getting starter money somewhere else, IMO.

No way they can count on JJ to start week 1 next year and you know a team like Las Vegas is gonna throw the house at Darnold. Will be Jones week one and waiting for the JJ era to start, like this year was supposed to be.

I bet NYG or NYJ (part deux) will be in the hunt for Sam.

Pfft...If Darnold gets big money, he should take it.

Who wants to pay a bench QB 50 million to play like Christian Ponder in the playoffs? 

Minnesota was a nice little story until last week. Hey, at least they're a tight bunch. They'll need a group cry after tonight before booking their Caribbean vacations.

NYG paid Jones that kind of money. 
JAX is paying Trevor that kind of money. 
ARI is paying Kyler that kind of money. 

 

Edit: next year, ATL is paying Cousins that kind of money.
