There isn’t a more perfect image to describe how I feel this morning. I hate everything about professional football, the Green Bay Packers and especially the Minnesota Vikings. Always embarrassing and letting down Viking fans on the big national stage in a big game against a big time opponent when it counts. I’m sick of it all. Over and over and over again the same outcome. Losers, not worthy of their accomplishments, lucky and everyone knows when it counts the most they will come up small. The universe is against this team and fan base. Always has been and yesterdays game is prime example one. Forget the postseason, forget the seeding scenarios none of it matters. Even if they faced the sister of the poor 3 straight weeks they’d blow it in the end to the Bowery Boys drunk and out of shape who somehow pulled off the greatest upset in modern history to beat the lowly sad pathetic Vikings. I hate this team.

About The Author
Sounds convincing. Interesting that it never happened before, in an NFL game at least IIRC?
There was a WR that died on impact in (I think) a Bears game. (I think it was) Dick Butkus hit the guy and he never got up.
Actually amazing that it doesn’t happen more…
Thoughts and prayers…
Thanks for the info, didn´t know such a thing already happened in the NFL.
If this kid dies, it may spell the beginning of the end for the NFL. Not good. Players were distraught.
Said the same thing in Skoloholics FF chat
I can never remember anything like this
Me either and you got more years on me
I think he’s legit
I don’t think it was an injury caused by football. Doesn’t appear to be.
Agreed.
He just took a blow to the chest, got up and instantly collapsed. I’d say they are related.
Commotio Cordis seems likely here.
Commotio Cordis refers to the sudden arrhythmic death caused by a low/mild chest wall impact. Commotio Cordis is seen mostly in athletes between the ages of 8 and 18 who are partaking in sports with projectiles such as baseballs, hockey pucks, or lacrosse balls. These projectiles can strike the athletes in the middle of the chest with a low impact but enough to cause the heart to enter an arrhythmia. Martial arts is a sport in which a strike of a hand can also cause the heart to change it’s rhythm. Without immediate CPR and defibrillation the prognosis of commotio cordis is not very good. This condition is extremely dangerous with rare survival.
Symptoms
There it is. Fortunately he survived and will hopefully recover.
He was very lucky that there were doctors there with needed equipment. I’ve read that for every minute that goes by without adequate treatment, chances of survival decrease by 10%.
I wasn’t familiar with Hamler, but from everything I’ve read tonight he was a really good kid. Hope he survives. His charity has received over a million dollars in contributions already tonight, which is very cool.
I think the Bills will win the SB this season.
Officially cancelled tonight by ESPN
He might die wow
Bills are packing up. Game over.
Over, suspended, postponed? They going to finish it later?
Game won’t be played tonight. If it’s a tie or what idk.
Game is kinda frozen in time right now if I understood it correctly. Suspended for the evening in the current standings.
Games over. Called
Shit.
looks like Hamlin took a helmet to the chin. Pre-mouth guard days that was one hell of a head injury. I wonder if it was angled just right to knock him out? Didn’t look like a spinal injury.
Hopefully he’s ok. Holy shit.
Chest.
So I just went back and rewatched it on youtube. Looks like his chest took most of the hit. Live it looked like his chin. Crazy that this is happening.
I watched the tackle on loop for about five minutes, I can’t tell if he took a helmet to the chin or helmet to the chest.
(you can google the YouTube video)
I hope he’s okay, I’m going to bed.
Collision didn´t look too vicious, but who´s the medical expert here… 😉
Hope the kid is OK, might not be the case though. Night, Rob
Think he got hit in the chest. Right timing can cause your heart to stop. It’s 1 in a million but it can happen
Hopefully this Hamler kid pulls through, reminds me a lot of watching Reggie Lewis collapse on the court and die, hope he’s ultimately ok.
That’s some scary stuff. It wasn’t a very hard tackle and boom, he was down. I wonder if it wasn’t some pre-existing condition.
With the heart stopping it would take a few seconds to black out from lack of Oxygen.
Anyone else on right now with a medical background?
@no@
Lucky Zimm isn’t the coach, he would say he’s fine and keep playing without a break.
Teams walking off now…
Wow the suspended the game.
Wondering about cardiac arrest…..
Did anyone see an opposite angle? Did his head strike the ground?
I only saw the one angle
Possibly. Happened to a player of the Hungarian national team, undetected heart condition.
That was my first thought. Second was ruptured artery in the brain.
Dude got up, took 2 steps and just collapsed. Looked kinda like he was struck by lightning.
That’s in the differential
He took the jab and died on the field like the soccer players.
There were quite a few incidents like that.
Dozens all over the world. Hopefully they get this kid alive and stable and can save him.
Indeed. Hope he is alright, and not another case of “died suddenly and unexpectedly”.
Looks like a seriously bad injury for that Bills player.
Ambulance on the field now, can´t be good.
Joe just said they’ve been doing CPR on the field (JFC)
Yup… for like 9 minutes now if I heard it correctly.
That’s what they said (grain of salt)
It looked like he took a helmet to his chin when he made that tackle
He got up and took 2 steps before collapsing. Really hope he is okay.
This is really funny
I don’t get it.
It is only January 2, and we are already gearing up for Snowmaggedon III tomorrow. Looking out the window, it has already started. Maybe get 12+ of snow and possibly ice, as well. Time to break out the Big Wheel.
Tough to do in a 400 sq ft house.
Crap, where you at?
Can’t wait to go golfing during next weeks Vikings / Bears game an not give two shits what happens. Might do the same for the playoff game. Fuck this team they’re dead to me after that shitshow yesterday. I think next year with the ticket now dissolved after 30 yrs of having it good time to step away permanently from this team. I’m done.
Giving up already? Come on man…
Lol, lightweight, try it for 62 seasons and you will understand my perspective. It’s entertainment.
its not entertaining to me anymore, more a waste of time watching a monkey fuck a football over and over with the same result. What’s entertaining about that when you’ve seen the same thing for 40 yrs with this team. I dont need to keep subjecting myself to being upset over a process that is never going to change in my lifetime. Better things to do.
Bye bye
5 bengals or bills. Essentially a pick em. I kinda like bengals tonight
Lmao packers are SNF??? We have a noon game and niners at 3:30… what a joke
https://twitter.com/sosarick/status/1610027976900415490?s=46&t=jiFAvFcSZ5CGDidSuzIFSw
If seattle wins then lions are elimainted before SNF
bet Jags now. Henry is likely out and they are starting dobbs, 3rd string qb at Jags
Happy New Year big 5 and Kym! And, “the Duke”.
Same to you chef!
Ya
Henry will play
A good thing if kitties are out they may cut loose on pukes.
Shocking.
NFL doing everything to get the FTP into the playoffs
What’s worse is if we lose to bears for whatever reason, niners can rest all their starters
Wait nvm. Eagles lose and niners win niners are first seed
Could have been ours, that 1st seed…
Could’ve but zero chance eagles lose to third string QB at home. Hurts is gonna play
Indeed, hopes of getting the #1 seed evaporated when the Vikings allowed the Packers to take them behind the woodshed.
Hopes of getting the #1 seed evaporated when we had that shit draft this spring.
Is this correct?
How did I miss this?
Hard to believe.
Yep. I think its crap. Can’t seem to see it anywhere else.
End of year i hope, not now tho.
I read through more of their articles. They like to post shit like this. My mistake. I really, really, really wanted it to be true, but they aren’t gonna change now.
It’d just be a distraction, to late to make changes. With you tho, wouldn’t have minded a bit.
I’ve seen it twice from different accounts, both fake.
Its fake. They had a blue check mark, and I for some reason keep forgetting that they can be bought now.
It should be correct but that remains to be seen.
Not yet, I guess…
It’s a fake account.
NFCNorthewssssssssss
Fake news lol. Vikings def was the least of issues Sunday
The whole team was the issue on Sunday, including the coaches.
Snow and maybe ice coming here in Minny. Jan 2 and sick of winter. I’m fucked.
Lo, move south for a few months. Costs less to live here and it’s not worth staying there for ice fishing.
You should move in with Kodiak in AZ.
Hardly watched yesterday, is it time to slot Nailor over Thielen. I like 19, good guy, home boy but i see significant drop off.
Viking at Bears at Noon. Packers – Lions are Sunday Night Football.
Viking – Bears on Fox.
The noon time surprises me.
If MN loses, SF can sit their starters and get the #2 seed. NFL usually avoids that scenario.
Maybe the NFL doesn’t care about the Vikings. Their darling, the Packers, get the prime time light of SNF.
Or maybe they figure that the Bears can’t possibly win, so then when the Vikings win, they SF game will have to be more competitive?
Could be.
Greg will hit a 60 yarder to win.
I figured that time would happen. They always have a “win and your in” game the final week of the season on SNF.
Shocked titans jags isn’t SNF
They are already scheduled to play Saturday.
That game wasn’t a tba option.
Dabares would have to be idiots to beat us, but they may just be that dumb.
Good point. Why mess us an early draft pick by beating the Vikings?
Playoff implications should offset. NFL likes ratings however.
Last week I thought Tua had a concussion and gifted Green Bay three INTs.
Can coaches be put in concussion protocol?
I think they call it, head up the ass protocol for coaches.
Cousins wasn’t concussed, and threw 3 INTs.
Very weird team this year. They exceeded my expectations. I predicted 9-8. Now that they overachieved, greater results are required, however.
They are at 12 wins with a chance to get to 13. With that many wins, a playoff win, maybe even two, is an absolute must. If they bow out immediately, might as well board up the stadium and move the team to Des Moines.
lol, been there done that. Another mediocre team humbled in the end. This may be the peak of Greasy Adolf’s and KOC’s run. Three years of 6 win teams would have the natives going bonkers.
Winks blitz package will eat our makeshift o-line to shreds.
Why the hell would KOC play starters….
What an idiot
There´s your answer?
He manages entertainers. If it’s not entertaining he loses his job.
Great… Terd is still unknown
Please a free agent. Reed sucks donkey balls.
Agreed
Lo, just about to get ugly or should I say uglier?
KOC is an idiot
Why would he put Kirk out there behind two backups on a horrible field
Because they are paid to entertain us the best they can. That is their profession. They aren’t paid to produce crap entertainment.
WTF? Soldier field in the dead of winter is known for ending players seasons.
Why the fuck did San Fran get to see us play first?
Thats a nice gift there by the NFL.
I bet Chicago plays Fields and their starters and we do something similar. Get another lineman hurt and its really season over.
Extended temps show mid 30’s. Yeah, playing on soldier in Jan like a plowed up corn field.
Season was over in May just after the draft. Many are finally realizing it.
And there’s confirmation… dang it
Aaannnd we´re toast. Great.
This weekThis season.Honestly, I was expecting this type of thing the first 3-4 games like it normally is. We had a helluva run. Now onto the draft.
Exhibit 1,000,069 in Viking fuck ups, watch our guys completely shit the bed and gift the Packers with a huge lane to run through. Good teams don’t have this many disastrous mental mistakes. Stay in yore lane!
That’s when I new the game was over
Please, just stop claiming you know everything. This play was in the first quarter.
You claimed it was over in 2 other games when the Vikings came back to win.
13 year old jr high kids are like that though. To be expected
leave Donnie alone, he’s a little bit rock & roll
No, he said something about a “new game” being over, not really sure what he meant..
To be honest…”I knew” the game was over when O’Neil went down.
I hope Bynum is getting his ass roasted in film session. Couldn’t tell at game time who blew their lane coverage but this all 22 tells the tale. Might be one of the easiest 105 yard returns of all time.
You can’t play this bad in all phases of the game without some of the blame landing on the coaches.
Oh, 100% on the game as a whole. But lane discipline on a kickoff is basic high school football knowledge.
That kick off was like watching 3 year olds play soccer.
I agree with you on Bynum getting roasted. The more film I see, the more angry I get with the coaching. This is some fundamental shit, like you pointed out. I tend to blame that on the coaches, which in this case might be a little unfair.
That hole reminds me of the ex
PA once said “Peterson could’ve drove his Cadillac through that hole!”
It was that kinda hole.
That’s her.
WTF are we doing here? We do not have the personal to run this scheme. Get rid of Donatel and his crap scheme after this year.
Donatell and ST afucking disaster. Why would we keep him?
He has pictures of Greasy Adolf’s mom in compromising positions is all I can think of
Projected to be cold here in chicago and the worst field conditions in the NFL.
KOC must rest all starters.
Yep. Nice of the NFL to schedule the Vikes in road games in January to really bad turf. Excellent way to get a team injured.
Been fairly common to end w/a divisional game. Remember Dec 2018 when we needed to beat dabares to get in the playoffs and we played like yesterday?
Yep. Last year I went to the Chicago game in Chicago. Was cold but fun. Dec. 20th.
They’d be better off playing in Grant Park than that gravel parking lot field.
You keep saying that and never say why. Give a poor product on the field and piss fans off just to get blown out in the playoffs isn’t worth it. You can’t still have the 13 year old school oy mentality that we will win the owl, can you?
I believe we can make the owl…
very unlikely, but yes I believe it could happen.
So do I, if we get 4-5 turnovers every game and ST and defense scores 30+ points while the refs are calling the other team 10 times for penalties to extend our drives and end theirs. It could happen.
Anythings possible
Cue the Leggo Movie!
Bingo.
Fuck Ted Glover
Not my type, you go ahead though.
Calling him now…
I wouldn’t have said that because that isn’t good enough. It’s the same mediocre crap stuff we have dealt with for 45 years. Being a 3 seed in the nfc isn’t being competitive. We have been the #1 seed and still lost.
Could the broncos land harbaugh?
Given Wilson bullshit i wouldn’t want the job.
I think the right coach could turn Wilson around. Start with taking away his office, and all the other weird shit they gave him. It might be tough, but I don’t think he’s washed.
Then again, he’s got 13 bathrooms.
True, was thinking picks too. I’d rather take Colts job despite their qb issues.
KOC did a good job so far all things considered, remains to be seen how the team will develop under his leadership. Harbaugh would still have been a very interesting choice.
KOC was the right choice. I wanted Harbaugh, but KOC has plenty of time to grow as a coach too. Nobody predicted we’d have 12+ wins and win NFCN ina year Rodgers didn’t miss any games.
Get into the playoffs and see what happens. Rams were the 5th best odds in NFC to make SB from the NFC. 11th best to win SB.
Just gotta get hot and be healthy. That’s why losing ONiell could be very bad. Was the top 3 RT in leage
If O´Neill is done for the season you can pretty much mail it in. Udoh? LOL
They might have had a chance to make some noise, but with injuries piling up and this defense, I don´t see it. Any given Sunday (or Saturday, or Thursday), sure… hoping for the best, expecting the worst. Giants might bounce us at home.
Too early to call IMHO. KOC has rallied the team, players like him and believe in his vision. Roster will need a major overhaul in the very near future though, curious to see what he and Queasy can accomplish.
I want dumbatell gone for now, seen enuf of his 34 bullshit.
KOC and Queasy would do well to look for a new DC. Donatell will be the scapegoat anyway I guess once we are 0-62 and the people start screaming for heads to roll, but he´ll deserve it.
The roster always needed an overhaul
The wins have gif deficiencies but they’ve always been there.
this team “can” win. They’ve shown it.
will they? Is another thing…
but they’ve needed to get off some of these bad old guy deals and hopefully this year doesn’t makw them think otherwise.
Yeah, they can win. Just not when it matters most. Hasn´t changed under KOC, so far, it seems.
Well they did beat the hills in Buffalo.
this isn’t happy kumbyah horse shit hit the reality of it.
That they did, I saw it. They also mounted an impossible comeback vs Colts, we had many memorable wins this season, and 12 wins is very good.
But they have to show me that they can win on at least a somewhat consistent basis, against the better teams in the league, and that hasn´t happened yet. Getting curb stomped by the poop eaters, cowpies and FTP doesn´t sit well with me.
The roster is a constant work in progress, we have many guys on expensive contracts getting up there in age. Need to replace many key players. Draft might not help much if Queasy keep drafting like he has in his 1rd draft.
Yu and like I said… winning masks that stuff.
im interested to see who’s getting axed.
Going to be a lot of obsolete jerseys next year I think
That´s going to happen, right. Guess I can retire #19 and #22 both…
AT is a cap hit of 19 million next year.
SMith is completely wasted in this scheme and is overpaid to sit back in cover 2. So I 100% agree here.
AT cook Smoth Kendricks.
do they part ways with Z and Hunter?
one or the other?
PP come back?
othwr than O’Neill that’s damn near everyone not on a rookie deal.
Hunter least fits this scheme. See him covering Watson in the Tweet above? LOL. What a waste of talent there.
That’s the last thing I want to happen, cuz it will mean another offseason of slobbering over the Broncos resurgence in my part of the world.
So dabares have 3 wins and the #2 pick. Texans play the Colts this week and could possibly win in a shitshow of a game getting to 3 wins. Who would have the #1 pick? I see zero reason for dabares to want to win. That being the case we may be able to squeak out a win.
Bears would have #1.
Vikings will be resting their starters so likely will be an ugly game.
I assume 75 is done and we need to sign a tackle.
Bring one up from the practice squad. Udoh and Brendel are both available, do you think we need another?
Think there are a few on the street, don’t know about PS. Prob pointless anyways.
Udoh or as Ben refers to him:
“The penalty machine”
What the hell happened to him? Haven’t heard shit. Did his fucking head fall off?
Not heard anyting, prob waiting MRI. Hurt on KC pick, i guess.
Back to “Anyone but Kirk” for me….
Do we want to beat dabares? Why or why not? Do dabares want to beat us? Why or why not. I would think w/3 wins they are looking at a nice draft.
Beat the bears and cards beat 9 ers. 2 seed. Easy peasy.
Cards beat the 9ers and monkeys crawl out everyones butts.
3 seed. Likely gnats. Think lions, pukes and seachickens still possible but only by bizzare circumstances. Wink will annihilate our o-line. Book it.
Packers are beating lions in lamblow and getting in.
No no no. That happens that’s a first round playoff exit against packers.
So Bears will want to lose for the draft and Vikings will want to win on the outside chance it gets them the 2 seed back.
So, most likely the Bears will start all their starters and win cuz they are dumbfucks.
Yeah, perhaps. Fields has a 1,000 yds and a body beat to hell prob right, starters.
I was amazed that they were running him in a pointless game, down by 3 scores or more.
Bears would be idiots to play fields. Last game and tears a ACL/MCL? Screwed for next season.
Ha. I bet they do.
After getting kicked in the balls and sharting ourselves.
What an embarrassing performance, but we all know the Vikings can produce games like these. They might win their home playoff game, not much hope they can make some more noise in the playoffs. We´ll see.
Welcome, I haven’t had hope since 1975.
Kicking fans in the nuts since 1969
Nice they can do on national tv also.
Still one good nut kicker to go this season.
They are very good at it.
Hope to see lions@puke game. TBA later i guess.
