The Super Bowl teams are set!
Eagles-49ers
The Eagles, bad injury luck, and the refs beat the 49ers 31-7 yesterday in the crappy afternoon game, wrap-up courtesy of Sporting News. The 49ers were down to using a partially operational quarterback who couldn’t throw. It’s hard to come back from 21 points down when you can’t throw the ball. It’s too bad, I thought the 49ers had a shot in this one. The officiating was laughable, Hussey and his crew sucked, as they normally do. It seems oddly coincidental that every time Goodell is in attendance, the officiating seems to be extra poor and lopsided.
Chiefs-Bengals
In the evening game, the Chiefs and Bengals battled hard. The Chiefs seemed to have control of things, but the Bengals kept it close. The Bengals defense FINALLY figured out how to shut Kelce down, and gave the Bengals offense a chance to get some points. The Bengals eventually tied it up at 20 early in the fourth quarter, and it stayed that way with both offenses struggling to sustain a drive.
The officiating AGAIN came into play late in the game. The Bengals made a stop on 3rd down, which didn’t count because the dumbasses didn’t start the clock or something. On the next play, the Benglals shut them down again but get flagged for holding and the Chiefs march on. The drive eventually ended in a punt, but not after some extra yards and time. Nothing compared to what we saw in the first game, of course. Ossai pushed Mahomes at the end of the game on a questionable play, and the refs threw the flag to put the Chiefs into field goal range. I feel shitty for Ossai.
In the end, four quarters were barely enough to settle this one. The Bengals had to punt, Moore busted a big return, and it gave Mahomes the ball WAY too close to field goal range. With a little help from the refs, the Chiefs came out on top with a 45 yard field goal.
The NFL made damn sure that Mahomes will face Hurts in the Super Bowl this year. I get more cynical every year when it comes to the NFL. I’m seriously convinced that the game is rigged. I think it’s obvious now.
Minnesota Vikings News:
Scores and highlights from yesterday’s games, courtesy of ESPN.
Wow, talking about waitiong a year too long to act. Kellen Moore is out as Cowboys offensive coordinator, per ESPN. Moore was a media darling last off-season, with many in the media pointing to Moore as the next great head coach. I believe the Vikings even interviewed him for their head coaching position. Well, he should’ve struck while the iron was hot, as he won’t be getting any head coaching interveiws any time soon.
Video of the Day:
Bill Burr sums up my thoughts about Philadelphia. This is Bill Burr, so NSFW LANGUAGE!! Enjoy!
Twitter has been lit about the horrible officiating yesterday, including from people who don’t usually talk about sports. I guess more people watch the playoffs than regular season, but more folks than usual are saying the whole thing seems fishy, with some folks saying they give up on sports.
It is the same in the NBA, LeBron (not a fan) got hacked on a last second shot Sat and the officials simply said that they ‘missed it’.
Home team won, team mate got a tech for trying to show the official a picture of the foul, other teammates were fined for talking about the errors after the game.
Sports = Entertainment now-a-days so expecting fair and balanced is just looking to be disappointed.
nba sucks
I loved playing BB but stopped following it when Lakers got LJ and all the Woke crap started,
Hated watching Hardins Bully Ball, run into someone/throw up a shot/scream for a foul/get it/repeat. every. single. time.
Yes, lots of folks mentioned the NBA, and a few other sports. I only followed the NBA for a couple years (when one of my favorite college players got drafted), but stopped watching before everything got so political. I didn’t like that there were too many games, too many back to backs, players sitting out, etc. It’s just a terrible product other than possibly tournament time.
Kellen Moore wasn’t unemployed for long.
https://www.nfl.com/news/chargers-expected-to-hire-ex-cowboys-oc-kellen-moore-as-new-offensive-coordinato
Didn’t he just get fired yesterday?
He quit yesterday and got a job today
So when eggslusher says something stupid we can now use a gif like this?
Stupid Mike autorec! Game recognizes game!
The Vikings ranked 28th in rush attempts (404), 27th in rush yards (1,661) and 26th in average (4.1) this year.
Run plays that gained less than or equal to 0 yards: 103 (fifth most in NFL)
Net yardage on such plays: -112 (tied for ninth worst in NFL)
Yet the Vikings offense was 7th in the league in yards per game, and 8th in the league in points per game. Hmmmm…
I said that half way through we would be better off forgetting about trying to run the football…We probably should have been ranked 32nd in rush attempts and I bet our offense would have ranked even higher.
And don’t you dare try and credit Kirk for any of that offensive success…its just that JJ was so unbelievably good he made up for all of Kirks many shortcomings.
Laughing… Cousins ranked 4th in passing yards and 5th in TD’s… WE HAVE TO GET RID OF HIM!!!
And where did that get us? Embarrassed by a bad giants team at home in a WC game and throwing 5 yards on 4th and 8. Get a grip on reality.
Yay for bulk stats!
JJ sucks ass, it’s all Kirk
Somebody has to throw the ball to JJ… and with our O-line “protecting” the QB that’s a tall task indeed.
He’s likely joking
Also gave up a ton of sacks and pressures, but please tell me more about how “improved” the oline was.
Notable Number: 47
Sacks against the Vikings
That number ranked 25th in the NFL in 2022 and was the most allowed by Minnesota since 51 in 2014, and it tied for eighth most in franchise history (since the 1970 merger).
People said we had an improved line for Cousins. I don’t think so. The new scheme that was supposed to help Bradbury actually did so somewhat, but that didn’t help the QB much.
Hope for much improved line play next year as Ingram gets another year under his belt and maybe a new center.
Kirk holds the ball too long
So does Jenna Jameson, but that’s a whole other kinda deal.
Let’s see… need a linebacker who can stuff the run, cover receivers, and blitz effectively. Folks seem to think the Titans David Long (who is a free agent at age 26) fits the bill. He’s 5’11” and 227 lb’s. This about exactly the same size as Asamoah. To me, that’s undersized, but who knows?
I would sign Germaine Pratt or Tremaine Edmunds
Me too… much better size. Both highly ranked in coverage and tackling.
Pratt was the #1 LB in coverage, both the Vikings LBs sucked at that.
Good call… could use a guy like him.
In today’s pass happy NFL 227 works just fine…
Derrick Henry loves those guys… so does Josh Allen.
True enough….they will get trucked some…but there are very few Derrick Henry’s out there….I would gladly give up size for speed at the LB position…
Speed is huge. Micah Parsons is the freak with size and speed. 4.39 forty.
Asamoah barely played this year and suffered a knee injury and a concussion. I fear he’s too small for the NFL. Just my opinion though.
You could be right and I could be wrong…its possible.
Better than watching tight ends catch passes with the defender trailing 5 yards behind him.
Beef up front, speed behind them
Drew Sanders
DeMarvion Overshown
these two guys could flip the defense in those ways.
Sanders more of your typical LB while overshown plays the hybrid LB/S they need to spy these QBs and cover receivers.
Combine will decide a lot more for these two as far as draft positions… but KAM would have to do some work to make it happen.
Guys to watch… thanks!
What’s the story with Pratt? Bengals can’t afford him?
With both Bengals starting safeties in Jessie Bates and Vonn Bell pending free agents, a big extension for wide receiver Tee Higgins, likely in play and fellow off-ball linebacker Logan Wilson also eligible for an extension after the season, it’s possible Pratt hits the market even after a career year.
Plus burrow is due for money
Gotta pay burrow now
They can still pick up his fifth year option, but they’d be smart to get a deal done with him soon.
Pick up the option, structure the contract to be team friendly, opposite of your idol Kirk

I was just thinking about being a curmudgeon and things from my past. Anyone on here remember when alpine skis had a strap that attached to your ankle, instead of the binding brake? You’d wipe out and the ski would attempt to decapitate you? The strap would freeze up and then it would be almost impossible to get the ski back on as the ski would move every time you tried to step into the binding?
We were on a school ski trip and a classmate of mine (this must have been 4th grade) untied the strap so he could step into the binding, the ski took off at speed down the hill, broke when it hit somebody’s VW bug.
No, must be a canadian thing
This was at Biberwier in the Tyrols (Austria).
Touché, must be an austrian thing
Since there’s not a plethora of conversations today, another funny ski story I have is my first time downhill skiing in college, had been a decade since I had previously skied. Guy at the ski rental shop in Edmonton went on and on about how I should buy the ski insurance, “I’ve seen it all and for just a few more dollars you are completely covered”. I read the fine print and finally relented, purchased the insurance with my beer money.
Next weekend we travel to Panorama, outside Inverness, BC. The mountains seem WAY steeper and higher than the ones I remembered in Europe. Not only that I’m taller and the skis are way longer than I remember. So I’m struggling, I’m no downhill racer, I’m just doing big slalom stem turns and some crappy parallel turns, sticking to the blue and green runs. Run into some of my friends at the top, they say come down this way it is great powder. Of course they eventually go zipping down a double black and I am going down as slowly as I can, wipe out about half way down. Decide I should get back up and go back around to try it again. This time I try to correct the error of my way but end up off balance off a mogul, overcorrect and I’m no Erik Guay but I am going far far faster than I want to. I should have just taken the fall but thought I could save it where the slope leveled off at the bottom.
So there was a snow fence installed at the outer radius of the curve, the groomers had piled big mounds of snow on the other side of the snow fence. Couple of ladies (it turns out) were on the inside of the curve, I yelled look out as best I could and am working on the outside, doing my best not to look at the fence cuz I know I’ll hit it if I look at it.
WHAP. I’m down.
As I’m picking up the pieces, one of the ladies that stopped to help comes climbing over the fence, one of my skis had gone tip first into one of the big snow banks. Big tear in the metal lamination on the side of the ski, but I could still ski on it.
When I returned the ski to the shop in Edmonton, the same guy checks it in and has a fit, only exacerbated when I reminded him he sold me the “completely covered” insurance. Turns out they didn’t have a lot of spares in skis that long.
Wow…a time the insurance pays off…
Might be a first…
I almost bought the insurance on the parachute, too.
That was another time a guy flipped out on me. My first time skydiving the jumpmaster misjudged the wind, and my parachute strings were twisted out, such that by the time I kicked out of the twist I couldn’t reach the area of the airfield. I landed in a farmer’s field across the highway so gathered up my parachute in a tight little bundle so I could get across the highway, barbed wire fence, etc. When I dropped the bundle the “guy that packs the parachutes” whatever his title was gave me a similar rant to the ski guy, would have clearly been better if my parachute just never opened as he wouldn’t have to untangle the lines.
Yes, Parachute insurance seems like a poor purchase…I mean if you have to use it you are likely dead.
“guy that packs the parachutes” = “Chute Packer” I believe is the official job title.
Good times.
I remember those, they were called “Safety Straps” of all things.
Nothing like having a ski bonk you in the face after a wipeout.
Oh now that is fucking hilarious. Sucks that they made them turn it off. I’d have let it finish.
Oh shit…the on-off button is stuck!
Aw shucks. Someone get a hose & clean up all this blood & guts.

Jordan or Jackson
buttlicker?
I am offended! I find you difficult and condescending! Or whatever it said in his customer feedback report haha.

lol no. I thought I dropped some good hints. I mean when you figure it out you’ll be like…
Scott?
Hunt?
No, but for a Spanish class assignment we had to write a skit and perform it and we named a character “Mike Hunt”. And the teacher goes “What was the name Mike Hunt…?” Then she realized what she said and just kind of fell back in her chair, smile left her face and had just a, “You fucking kids” look on her face haha.

Is this a cry for help
I was wondering the same thing. Took a dark turn there.
*possibly
Maybe I will be able to annoy Greta.
The whole defense sucks.
Cut them.
In other non-football news, one of my nephews gave me a call late last week and invited us on a trip to Sweden. Him and his wife have a conference in Copenhagen this summer and since both his mom (my sister) and I have both wanted to go to Sweden, they thought this might be the best opportunity. My sister is 16 years older than me and her husband is 20 years older than me and I’m sure they would never go by themselves, but they are excited to go with all of us as a group. It should be fun. Now I have to brush up on my Swedish. Ja sure, ja betcha.
Just enough to annoy the locals with how bad I am at it.
Cool! Try the meatballs.
Of course.
Wow, how cool is that! Hope you and family have an awesome time, and tell us some stories when you return.
I’m sure we will have some good stories. My sister is our family genealogist so I’m hoping she can find some distant relatives for us to possible connect to.
Oh, I love family genealogy! We’ve traced ours way, way back. I like pretty much all those shows too that help people trace their history.
You can stay at some nice hostels.
My nephew’s wife has already started searching for an Airbnb. I’ll leave the hostels to someone else.
Yeah, I saw that movie Hostel, that doesn’t look like a lot of fun.

When they see me they will all be like…
I’m not too thrilled with the SB this year. I find it hard to be a KC fan, but I really hate the Eagles. Maybe I’ll read a book and just have the game on in the background.
Refs seemed to just hand calls off to the home team in both those games.
It was tough to watch.
I was pretty busy yesterday, so I only caught bits and pieces of the games. That might have been a good thing.
Yesterday’s games were the least enjoyable and most unsatisfying playoffs I can recall. Maybe it’s recency bias since last year was so thrilling, but I am disappointed and not looking forward to SB at all.
Only thing I’ll be doing is rooting against the Eagles, that’s the only skin I have in the game. I hate those bastards.
I’m hoping to smoke 3 different styles of rub ribs and hoping for a good game! Also PHUCK PHILLY!
Is this how you smoke ribs? Sorry, I saw the first part of the sentence and thought, “What?”.
Should smoke 3 different styles of cigars too
Yum… That’d be nice. I’ll be having rich peaty smoked scotch, does that count?
Cigars go great with scotch
Isn’t that what most were projecting it to be?
Yep, most were thinking either $220 million or $225 million.
How long before an average qb starts getting paid 100 million per year?
Kirk wants a pay raise…
At some point the Vikings are going to have to take a shot at a young QB. And Kirk can eat a big pile of shit if he wants more money.
He sucks.
Cut him.
Kirks agent on line one.
Kirk’s agent can piss off
Kirks agent also sucks.
Cut him.
Yes
Haha!
NFL: We’re combatting racisms and racisms like things.
Also NFL:
Raaaaaaaaaaaacist
crackers are the minority
Have been for a long time, chips are the choice for most people.
It is hard to combat racism when race is constantly promoted.
That’s what you’d think…
If the NFL mandated any new head coach hired must be a minority, would that satisfy this group? My guess would be no.
i think that they need to have racial quotas and no team can have any more of one race than another.
talk about keeping things equal.
Holy shit the DN is more of a shitshow today than it usually was with you degenerates on it
I can’t deal with Revenge4Spielman aka R4C aka R4K. Annoying AF, IMO.
I made it classy for a while.
Lol
No politics, just annoying with the same Kirk shit over and over again.
I swear half the DN gets their takes from Judd and the other half follow Rick Sosa and/or Spinosa.
It gets old.
Hate Kirk? Fine. Fuck the guy.
Love Kirk? Fine. You can fuck that guy.
Either way, Kirks 35 in August and we need a plan for the QB of the future.
Kirk’s shelf life is expiring.
There’s like 2 people in the middle. There are more Kirk Cockriders than Kirk haters and the Kirk Cockriders are more easily triggered and more fun to fuck with.
LOL
I once found it amusing.
I used to use Emo Kirk to argue with NVF and Drockh while I was using my BSF to start shit with basically the exact opposite take.
Now its annoying, and we are stuck with a 35 year old QB without a long term plan in place.
The choices KAM and KOC make here will determine their careers.
LOL
Spinosa/Sosa are so bad. I started unfollowing anyone that likes or retweets them. Can’t stand to see it.
They seem to be fans of our QB
They are only slightly less horrible than that kid named Jared whatever.
So either way they should fuck kirk?
Speaking of Hockey.
RIP Bobby Hull.
Didn’t he have the hardest/fastest slap shot back then?
https://www.foxnews.com/sports/hockey-legend-bobby-hull-starred-blackhawks-dead
Oh sad. The Golden Jet. He did indeed have a malicious slap shot.
If Philly wins another Super Bowl, I am out.
Man, no kidding.
Amen.
Kirk talk or fuck around on another chat board?
Hmmm?
Hi
Which one?
Craig’s list “relationship” room?
Sounds interesting. I might have to check it out.
I realize what’s happening. Normally my pessimism is heavily outweighed by the pessimism of a couple of key debbie downers. No matter how pissed I was at the outcome, they had an even more dismal take and I could say jeez that’s just too far. Now the balance has been upset I have moved to the lower level of the spectrum. Part of the evolution of a sports blog.
I’m still trying to figure out what is happening in the microcosm of my little world. By my count, Glendive used to have eight restaurants that you could choose from any day of the week. Never did they seem to struggle with staffing (circa 1995). Now they struggle to staff four restaurants, perennially short of help and they are closed on Sundays and often Mondays, late openings, early closings, etc…I don’t understand what all the people are doing that used to work these hospitality/service jobs.
Every other day I hear about people getting new tax breaks and money from the government. Just keep that printing press running!
Exactly…who is paying the SS tax, income tax, etc?
Have a kid? Here’s $10k a year. Don’t want to work? Another $10k! Someone look at you funny and you feel depressed? Another $10k! Also, here’s some free housing, food and internet. Anything else you need?
Just take it from those people who actually work.
Yyyyyyyyyyyyup
Learn to cook!
I was just at a meeting about something similar to this regarding offering training programs to get more workers to do the more mundane tasks around here.
Here’s what I know:
There are 2.9 million less workers now than there were in Feb. 2020.
Its a combo of things that affects this. Many older, part-time “boomers” just got out of the job market, and child care costs have sky rocketed to the point that many people find they save money staying home instead of sending kids to daycare and working. This is a big issue in MN with formerly duel income households. Households where one parent with a better job would have dental and health care benefits, and the other would just work for spending money, have dropped out of the workforce. Daycare costs too much. This might just be a local issue. MN has some of the highest daycare costs in the US.
I’ve lost 2 workers in the last year to this that were part time. The second they had kids they left the work force.
Finally, the boosted unemployment benefits and stimulus had many people quit the food/hospitality industry, and when those benefits ran out they found jobs in higher paying industries. If you google “great reshuffle” , you’ll see what is going on.
Ok lib
The Ron gif below reminded me of a the TV show “The last of us”
Have you started watching it?
No clue what the last of us is
It sounds like a show about five and Lifer
Yeah, they probably stop at Brokeback for a rendezvous
That’s the “Kodiak” episode where five betrays Lifer, nearly ending their relationship.
For some reason I read lifer as Kodiak in the first comment, weird.
Ron has a love story in episode 3 that I figured you would like.
He bangs that douchebag Indian guy’s wife like he did on Parks and Rec?
yep. If that Indian guy’s wife is a dude.
Ron bangs a dude? not interested now.
Yep, I don’t need to see that episode.
Lol, some h-mo gave both our comments a thumbs down
I tried doing that and the top search result led me back to a thread about cribbage on Skoloholics
I had a really big, long, boring, meeting about this on more than one occasion. People are leaving their boring, crappy jobs for things that are more “fulfilling”.
So we are supposed to try and be that.
And I don’t want to.
They just need to shut up and work harder.
I remember way back in the day reading about how the workforce was going to suffer when all the baby boomers started retiring.
Boomers wreck everything
We try our best. It’s fun watching the youngsters squirm.
They are…..
It’s nation-wide, amigo. Youngens choose not to work, makes it impossible to fill jobs like that.
What you’re saying is that you come here to find people who are more pessimistic than you?
Yes, that is an accurate take.
Ok Doomer
My Cribbage Tournament Experience:
My wife did better than me, even though she only plays once a year. Of course.
I did get revenge on the 12-year-old kid who skunked me first game last year. Played him first game this year. Total coincidence. Didn’t even recognize him until we started playing. Then beat him. Take that, kid!
I almost got in a fight with an old man. He was a grumpy ass. Never had that experience there before. Everyone is nice and low key and helps out if their opponent misses points, rather than stealing them. He took the game super seriously. It was the last game, and I wasn’t paying attention as much because the top players were already decided for the playoffs, and we were just finishing the last game to go eat. I made a mistake counting, and the old guy came at me hard. Basically, asked me if I was stupid, and if I could count. Since it took me by surprise, I went back at him equally hard, sarcastically thanking him for his incredible Cribbage mentorship. Next, he started implying I was cheating. Game got ugly then. He was ranting and raving about how *he* would never cheat at the greatest game ever invented: Cribbage. Yep, I am cheating when I am already out of the running for the playoffs and just want to go eat. Plus, my counting mistake was in HIS favor!
My wife said he must have had a hard life or something.
I ended up beating him, and he got further ticked off.
What’d he say when you had four 5’s in your hand and a 5 was cut?
I think his head would have blown up. He was already at maximum revs.
I played against a guy like that once in a tournament. Would look at my hand and discards versus the cut and tell me what I should have thrown, etc…super annoying.
My wife was probably right. He probably was raised that way. Normally, I’m not one to respond fire with fire, but he really came at me hot and blindsided me. My reaction was reflex.
So, you beat a 12-year-old and nearly beat up a geriatric. Sounds like success to me.
Best cribbage tournament ever!
If that old guy is there next year, I’m going to sit across from him as soon as I enter the room and make sure I play him first game. We’ll get a Vikings/Packers rivalry going!
I thought you meant like in a fight when you said “beat up a geriatric”.
I once saw an old man getting beat up by 4 kids and so I went to help.
He didn’t stand a chance against the 5 of us.
Love cribbage. No one down here knows how to play.
It’s a neat little game. Just enough skill to keep your brain occupied, and then the suspense of the turn card keeps things interesting.
I love doing the poker face when you have a 4-5-5-6 and a 5 gets cut. Play your first couple of cards and the dawn of realization on your opponent’s face – you lucky bastard!
One guy got that hand against me yesterday. He had just started playing, and that was the first time he ever had that hand. His eyes were all aglow as he tried to add up the points!
I told him, “Nice, you got the 24-pointer.”
“Are you sure? Have you ever seen this hand before?” he asks as he tries to puzzle it all out.
He was a fun guy. Packers fan, but still a fun guy. He was there with his fiancé, who also just started playing. She was very mousy and quiet. Thought I’d crush her, but she beat me handily.
You got beat by a Packer fan? Embarrassing
I learned it from the Vikings!
*insert dramatic “I learned it from you!” commercial*
Couldn’t find the commercial gif
This one? LOL, do you even know how to use google?
When I was an adolescent/teenager, cribbage was the staple of holiday get togethers. That’s when you would pack in the car and head to the grandparent’s for the long weekend (incredibly the onus of holiday visits did not depend on the grandparents travelling to us as that would never happen – they had hand). Two dozen people all shoehorned in a home with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, I got to sleep on one of many air mattresses scattered on the floor in the basement. Six am to midnight there were cribbage games going non stop. Go out and help feed cattle, back in and it’s your turn to deal in, etc…that’s why I’m amazed DE has had two 29 hands as I have never seen one in person.
The first time I went to this tournament, there were three 29 hands. The last five times I’ve been there, zero 29 hands.
There were probably 80 people playing that first time. This one guy had a super deep voice that carried over the whole room even though everyone is jabbering.
About halfway through that day, all of a sudden you hear his voice boom out, “I can’t believe I lost by 40 @&$%ing points!”
It was pinochle in our family.
Weird.
I’m sure you could pull up to any retirement home and get a game.
that or a prison.
Yeah, it just isn’t a Southern game culturally. Northern people love that shit. Being from Maine, I obviously grew up playing it.
Southerners like playing spades, I found. Never played that game until I got in the army, I had to learn if I wanted to play cards. I got a couple of them onto pinochle, though.
So that’s what they call banging their sisters.
Yep, I banged their sisters, too. I played a lot of spades.
the office
Correct
The Bachelor
King of the Hill.
South Park.
Breaking Bad was pretty damn good.
Heh. I’ve never watched any of those animated shows.
MT… King of the Hill is a show I believe you would enjoy.
the one liners cannot be beat.
I believe I would enjoy it but it would never get past my social director. As it is, it takes me months to get through a single season of any series my wife does not enjoy…if I add KotH to my queue I will be a centenarian by the time I start watching it.
It’s pretty good
The Office
King Of The Hill
The Shield
Green Acres or Mr. Ed
Can’t pick a specific one, but in general I like mysteries and “who done its”. A couple of caveats though, not too gory and can’t do anything where kids get hurt. Also, prefer those where I can’t figure it out in ten minutes, which happens a lot.
Yeah, Forensic Files might be best ever for me.
Good one!
So, historically, I don’t do a lot of hawt taeks because they’re inevitably heavy on the hawt and light on the taek. That said, if the Vikings are ever going to trade Kirk Cousins, this would be the offseason to do it and the team that could potentially make it (and want it to) work is the 49ers.
We’re all familiar with the past takes regarding Shanahan’s potential interest in Kirk. But I would imagine at this point, if there’s any truth to those rumors, that interest could be at an all time high. The one thing SF has missed most over the past few seasons is a serviceable QB that can stay healthy. And given Shanahan’s track record developing QBs, I’m sure he believes he could take Kirk to another level.
They have an open window right now given their offensive skill group and dominant defense. They also have enough cap space to work with and they could be one of a very few teams Kirk might consider waiving his no trade clause for. They’re built to win and he has a history with their head coach, who is reportedly “Kirk friendly’. Kirk has also proven to be one of the most durable starting QBs in the league.
Minnesota desperately needs a reset at the QB position, IMO. But barring a “team friendly” (which Kirk isn’t known for) extension, they can’t build a supporting cast to surround Kirk with talent like the 49ers already have. And the Vikings’ odds/options to find and sign a good, young QB to develop behind Kirk in the next few seasons are very low.
That said, I think there could be a win-win in a trade that sends Kirk to SF and Trey Lance to the Vikings. Frankly, with Purdy on their roster and with the way he played, it wouldn’t surprise me if he has the lead in an impending QB competition between him and Lance. And a trade like this would probably give SF more immediate value than a potential trade for picks that involve Lance, which has been speculated. In fact, I think SF might even consider giving up some picks to secure this trade.
SF gets a durable, “proven” (not sure what that means when it comes to Kirk, but I’m guessing Shanahan thinks he can “fix” any issues), veteran QB and they can allow Purdy to continue to develop behind him for 2- 3 seasons. The Vikings get their young, “high ceiling” QB and free up some cap room to help solidify their defense and O-line. The challenge for the Vikings would be they only have one season to figure out if Lance is “the guy” before they’ll have to make a decision on his 5th year option (for 2021 1st rounders, the deadline will most likely be in May 2024).
The best part is that this actually had to happen in order to make this gif. What is the story behind it?
He was meeting with the president of some country in Africa, don’t know how the dancing part came about.
That would be great, then when SF fails in the playoffs I don’t have to listen to the absurd comments about how SF would easily win the SB with Kirk.
LOL
yes please
So you would just trade Kirk straight-up for Lance?
I’d probably do it. Kwesi won’t.
I’d try to get a couple mid/late-round picks thrown in. I think SF is under more pressure to “win now” than the Vikings are and they haven’t had a single season, IIRC, under Shanahan where their starting QB hasn’t missed significant time, or a significant game(s), due to injury. Say what you will about Kirk, but the guy is durable.
And if rumors are true SF is open to shopping Lance, getting a guy like Kirk brings them more immediate value than other teams are likely to offer up in terms of draft picks.
I think getting rid of the best QB the Vikings have ever had is pretty foolish. They can extend Cousins this year (they will) and his cap hit will go way down. In fact there are number of moves that will give the Vikings all the cap room they need to do whatever they want.
Dan Snyder and Bruce Allen walked away from Cousins because he put so much egg on their face regarding the RGIII trade they couldn’t stand it. Since Cousins left, you may want to review how bad the QB situation in Washington has been and how few passing TD’s they have. It may open your eyes.
The Vikings will retain Cousins for at least the next three years because he showed KOC just how great he is behind a porous line and in a new system that the receivers weren’t very good at executing. KOC now knows what he has, and he knows replacing Cousins in a draft or trade isn’t going to make the team better. It will make the team worse.
Why do you want the Vikings to be worse?
Ever hear of Fran Tarkenton?
He is in the Hall of Fame.
Fran is a legendary QB, but he played in 177 games for the Vikings. Cousins has played in 80. He has almost 21,000 yards and 153 TD’s in that time, unmatched by any QB in Vikings history.
Lol, that’s dumb to compare them, completely different game then vs now.
Well then let’s compare now. Cousins is the only QB in the NFL to have thrown at least 25 TD’s every year since he became a starter in 2015.
LOL, not one of today’s quarterbacks could survive getting hit like these guys did back then. It’s like comparing oranges to a battleship.
Ill Subscribe to this. Lets get er done
Sounds like I made the right choice not watching football this weekend.
I went to the dark side, though. Got to thinking, 16 teams in the NFC and the Vikings haven’t been to the SB in 47 years? How is that possible? Then you throw in the dearth of appearances by Chicago and Detroit. What a travesty.
I’m all in on a Canadian team winning the Stanley Cup this year. What are the chances?
7 Canadian teams in the 32 team NFL = roughly 22% chance.
Exactly. Yet somehow it has been THIRTY FUCKING YEARS!.Cursed, I tell you, cursed.
When was the last time, the Oilers dynasty in the 80s? Also, I didn’t get to watch much hockey back then but why did the Oilers trade Gretzky?
Montreal Canadiens in 1993.
Oilers had a lot of superstars on relatively low salary deals. No salary cap and Edmonton struggled with the declining $CAN relative to USD. Peter Pocklington (owner) was in debt. Wayne had just married a Hollywood actress. Writing was on the wall and they made a play to try and stay competitive, but bottom line Edmonton gained no meaningful players and Pocklington got a bunch of money to pay off debts. Will always be the darkest day in professional sports in my universe.
Forgot about the Candiens in 93. That would suck if you were an oilers fan.
It may seem like hyperbole but it was truly surreal for Edmontonians. It is no exaggeration to say it was still the only topic of conversation a week later. The utter silence of the room at Molson house, the clicks of the camera shutters, Wayne crying. For me, just like the article says it will be…if Wayne can be traded anyone can be traded.

Just shut up and pay your taxes to the
QueenKing.So does having a good QB determine wins and losses?
Asking for the 49ers.
Prior to this past season, yes. But as of 2022, wins/losses is no longer a QB stat.
Well, having a quarterback who isn’t concussed or unable to throw because of injury sure seems to.
Correct. Which means when you have a bad QB, you tend to lose.
So since the Vikings won 13 games they obviously have a good QB.
They were losers the two seasons before so they obviously did not have a good QB.
For one year yes.
Kirk was top 7 this year? Maybe top 5?
Kirk is still a good QB. He gets you 8-10 wins.
He just isn’t elite and comes up short in the biggest game(s) of the year.
He led a bunch of comebacks during the regular seasons, then when it mattered most he checks down on fourth down in the most critical moment of the season, but yay for stats.
I’m still telling you Joseph would have missed the XP. If that happened we’d just be pissing and moaning about that and why didn’t we go for the win with a TJ Hockenson pass.
I agree, Greg would have missed it. Hopefully the Vikings get a different kicker in the offseason
LOL, someone must be a Greg Joseph fan in here.
This is true.
4th and 8 is still inexcusable
Let’s not forget the 3 and out series before the 4th and 8 checkdown.
Mr. comeback clutch chains kirko had 2 chances in the 4th to comeback. Both failed.
Vikings defense was left pretty devoid of talent mainly due to poor drafting on that side of the ball the last 7 years or so. Thanks wReck.
Yep, too many years of poor drafting led to no depth, no replacements, and the talent we did have just got old.
Look at the 2021 draft. 11 players taken, only 4 players remain, which means 7 were cut, including the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th players taken.
Hey, the devs updated the layout of the home page, added more articles with thumbnails. I like it better, although I think the main pic could be shrunk a bit more.
If you have opinions, please feel free to share them.
Kirk Cousins is ass
Correct, though The Eagles would not be such trash if not for the influence of The Beatles.
Aaaahhhhhhh yes, I forgot about that. My hatred is misplaced.
Our bar Christmas Party is set for Superbowl Sunday, and as of right now I dont know anyone hosting any party’s to watch the game and I hate both of the teams and dont really care to watch. I might just go to the Xmas party and get blitzed.
We’d normally be having a SB party, but I don’t know if we’re even going to be home this year. If we have one, I’ll let you know.
Sounds good
I’m seriously thinking that ice fishing sounds like much more fun. Maybe we’ll take the iPad with & watch it out there.
I dunno, we have a party in years where we like one team. Maybe we could have one this year since we hate the Eagles.
A Christmas Party in Feb?
my work used to do the same.
plan it after the holidays when more people can join and aren’t getting holiday partied out
Get yelled at by the auto parts store clerk lately?
haha no, haven’t had to stop into the auto parts store for anything lately..
i was told my a kwik trip attendant if i get my car washed to make sure not to park outside wiith the temps getting below freezing.
thanks.
Dont have time during the actual Holidays, were open and trying to make money. Feb is pretty slow in general so closing down on a Sunday night is not going to miss out on a lot of money
Solid Plan.
I am going to drink a beer or three and hope for good commercials.
Can we make it official that Tony Romo is the most nauseating fuck ass announcer in the world? Holy shit, that guy is impossible to listen to.
hahaa i actually disagree.
i love listening to him and how excited he gets.
“oh no JIM!!!!!”
I feel like my ears are getting raped when the volume is on. I hope his voice box falls out.
That reminds me of when Phil Simms ripped ass and wafted it in Jim Nantz face. I think that’s the moment Simms career as a broadcaster was over.
Damn.
Good farts should be recognized and celebrated, not condemned. Hell, even you nose torched one of your co-workers and she still followed you to your next company.
Nantz…what a pansy.
I agree, though when you’re in a booth where you can’t get away and are trying to broadcast a nationally televised game and someone essentially Dutch ovens you it must be pretty difficult.
But isn’t that the essence, no pun intended, of the fart game? Kudos to Simms…he won!
Very true, I just meant it makes Nantz job a lot harder, I like how Phil got up and chased him too, let’s more fart in the air
lol…I thought that was funny too
Never hold in your farts. If you hold in a fart it will travel up your spine, into your brain and give you a shitty idea.
LOL !
So that’s why women are the way they are….
He was actually great when he started but as soon as he signed that big deal the NFL and the station 100% told him to quit analyzing and calling plays on the field and be more dramatic and be a basic Collinsworth level announcer. Go rewatch a game from 2017 (18??) and listen to him then listen to a broadcast from this year. There’s a notable difference. He is super generic and annoying now.
He makes me want to put a 9mm round through my TV.
Joe Buck line 1
Romo <<<<<<<<<<<<<< Buck.
and Buck <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Satan
I liked Romo early on but he’s gotten really bad, IMO. How many basketball analogies did he use in last night’s game? It was so stupid and annoying AF.
I tried not to listen, all I could hear is his 14 pack of Marlboro a day annoying fucking voice yelling for 3 fucking hours. For some reason, my wife likes to have the volume on, and I didn’t feel like going out to the garage and watching on mute, so I endured that fuckfest of a broadcast. Seriously, I’m still pissed. It grates on my soul. This is why I normally watch with the thing on mute. Listening to the announcers makes a person dumber.
so let me get this straight.
in the NFC championship game, the best the 49ers could do was run purdy back out and all the world know he couldn’t throw and just run run run run run?
how do they not have a dozen wildcat plays for deebo and CMC? i mean that’s bad.
Shanahan is an elite offensive mind.
i mean they basically gave up with they brought purdy back in. it’s the championship, come on MAN
I can’t believe that Johnson who isn’t hurt is worse than purdy who was.
Johnson was ruled out with a concussion, so there’s that.
Must’ve missed that.
woooof.
Yeah, he was out. I’m surprised they don’t have an emergency QB who could at least be a threat to throw. Easy to defend when you know it’s going to be a run.
@Kinda like defending against a Zimmer offense@
Yeah would’ve just ran CMC and Deebo on wildcat at that point. f it
Right? Anything would’ve been better. No reason to have the QB out there, he’s occupying space that could be used by someone useful.
Most teams don’t go through 2 QBs in the regular season and make it to NFCCG, most teams who do and lose both QBs during the game to injury do not win. Its kind of asking a lot to have 5 functional QBs on your roster.
Sure, but they didn’t need 5 heading into the game. They only had 2.
I just remember that McKinnon used to be our emergency QB, and I thought SF’s FB was their emergency, but maybe I’m incorrect. It just seems that running a broken QB out there shouldn’t be the best option available.
McCaffery was their emergency QB but against a front 7 like Philly, there was no good option. If they go Wildcat, Philly just loads up the box daring them to throw. At least with Purdy, SF still presented the possibility of a pass given Philly didn’t necessarily know the extent of his injury and how it might limit him.
Also, because of the 45-man active limit, no team has 3 available QBs in a given game. That’s why there’s a lot of debate about increasing this limit to 46 players, specifically to allow a team to have 3 QBs available during a game.
I think they figured out that he couldn’t throw on the first series when he tried to throw and couldn’t.
Your big senior bowl update.
They will still make those posts.
^^YEP^^
“The Jaguars’ Gatorade boy is talking to Bryce Young! Might the Jaguars be ready to move on from Trevor Lawrence?????!!!!!????”
LOL

how’s baby Kirk?

Correct
Gross..
24. MINNESOTA VIKINGS: DT SIAKI IKA, BAYLOR
Yuck
LOL, this part
Every level is ether meh or sucks though.
Our DC has a ton of experience, though.
Oh wait……
Yeah, players suck regardless of the coach, but with Zim last year and the year before they had a lot more injuries.
Yes, that’s very true. Zim made due with less.
Made due.
3 years of giving up the most points in the league lol
ok it was 28,24,&29 but still
2020 was such a dumb year. Hunter out for season with neck injury, Rick trades for Ngakoe who is here 6 weeks and then Rick trades him away. Vikings essentially traded down 45 spots from pick 45 to pick 90 for 6 weeks of him, thereby missing out on a bunch of good players, including my favorite player of that draft, All Pro Center Creed Humphrey. Rick sucks.
Lots of schtuff.
the numbers are the numbers and they suck.
Maybe this has already been discussed but… I think the 49ers could have interest in a solid QB who is durable, maybe one with a history with Shanahan. I am not saying this is a real possibility but what would you be OK with a trade with San Fran?
I vote for chaos.
It does not matter to me.
You know me.
Anyone but Kirk is good.
Anyone
I was okay with that trade at the end of 2019, still am. Lets get er done
My question is what would be good value back? Lance and some picks?
Maybe get Lance & a 2nd day pick. You open up a shitload of cap space and you supposedly have a capable QB, but you’d also better have a good backup because Lance has been injured a LOT.
We were talking about this the other day at work, but Lance has basically played one full season since leaving high school. One full season at NDSU, had injuries in his other seasons there. Hasn’t played anywhere near a full season at San Fran.
and I think durability is one of Cousins’ major strengths. You don’t see many QBs with his durability, he just doesn’t miss time due to injury.
I’m all for making improvements, but I’m not for making a change just for the sake of change. You gotta have a replacement in mind who is an upgrade or who you feel will become an upgrade.
Lance has only had one injury that resulted in him missing games.
Nice Grammor
but what would you be OK with a trade with San Fran?
Lance and a few picks… I think Cousins is a very good QB but the Cousins experiment has run it’s course in MN and we NEED to pay JJ.
I think the standard for a good not great QB was set with the Palmer and Bradford trades, which were a 1 and additional pick, however Palmer was 31 and Bradford 29 at the time. Kirk will be 35 when the season starts and as such is worthless than the other two. Probably get the equivalent of a first round pick.
if Rodgers gets 2 1s…
what does Kirk get?
3 1s.
Less than that.
For some reason, I missed this thread before posting my above monologue. I think a straight up Kirk-Trey trade, with the Vikings possibly getting some mid/late-round picks in the deal could make a lot of sense for both teams.
1st shark attack of 2023 happened earlier this month, the following line from the article cracked me up:
“He was diving when the animal attacked him, impressively ripping off his head and biting both shoulders,”
Nice! Impressive!
Yeah, has a shark ever decapitated someone unimpressively?
If it takes two chomps I would say it’s rather unimpressive.
I tend to agree, especially if its a 19 foot shark like the one in this story.
Yes. Quinn in Jaws.
He got the wrong head.
Monty Python Auto-Rec
I came in here to bring you the piss I promised last Friday so I could be apart of today’s recap but this made me lol. haha. Bully to you good sir!
I’m good on the piss, lol.
no kink shaming here
I saw you and Kodiak holding hands on the DN late last week. It was cute.
The standards of a journalism degree continue to rise to new heights!
At first I read this as “He was driving…”. I thought, Oh shit, sharknado is coming true
Good morning Skoloholics, hope you all are well.
SKOL!
Eagles winning was the most Vikings outcome. They trounce us in 2017 to go to the SB, and now they are back in 2023. Meanwhile, we continue our “competitive rebuild” malarky. Kaboom it!
Well, the Eagles build inside out, they are elite in the trenches and that is why they win in the post season and the Vikings get owned by mediocre teams, but yeah, hang the greatest 13 win team in history banner!
Hang it!
are the Vikings better than SF only giving up 24 points?
YES! Nevermind SF playing Josh Johnson for the majority of the game and an incapacitated 7rd round rookie the last couple series after Johnson also was injured.
Seriously..SF’s luck ran out in that game. Between their QB injuries and some really dumb penalties, they were doomed in that game. Philly got a little boost from the refs too, but that wasn’t why they won. SF never really had a chance after Purdy went down.
Refs were atrocious. Hussey is a shit ref and he’s a hairlip.
I didn’t know they played defense…
Who?
SFs qbs
What do they have to do with defense?
Sometimes I have dreams where we draft nothing but trench guys, and then I wake up smiling.
That’s pretty gay
It would be nice if they prioritized the position a little more.
I mean… that was a true statement 5 years ago. They just need to do a better job with talent because across the line is First round Pick – 2nd Round Pick – First Round Pick – 2nd round pick – 2nd round pick.
That’s pretty solid in the priority department.
I meant more the D line
Hey, do you remember Kaboom cereal? I remember I got a kazoo in a box of that one time.
Same!
That stuff was actually pretty tasty. I am sure it had something to do with all the cavities/tooth issues I now have.
Also liked Quisp a lot.
Yup, young stud mobile QB on the cheap and solid stout in the trenches on both sides of the ball. Yet the front office and some Vikings fans want us to be the opposite, old overpaid deer in head lights QB and weak in the trenches, and we wonder why we cant get to the bowl. We see it time and time and time again.
Well, hopefully they re-sign Bradbury.
So the Vikings continue to have horrible interior pass blocking?
Good Morning, still thawing out from Saturday’s ice fishing. The temp was right around 0 with 20-25 mile per hour winds. But, I didn’t get skunked, sadly for my efforts I was only able to bring in one perch.
Man, I had the wind catch my pop up one time & shoot it across the ice with me in it. It was 2020, because it was right when all the Covid nonsense took off. Everyone was on lock down & all that bullshit.
We got 3 small walleye. Was 0 here, too. I got lucky, a buddy of mine called & was already set up. All I had to do was drive out & hop in the ice house. No set up, no tear down. That’s the way to do it.
also. Pushing Mahomes was stupid.
It was a stupid stupid play. How many times have we seen a qb Juke their way to a few more yards because nobody make sure they go out to avoid a penalty?
back to my original… how can you send someone to the SB on such BS? Wow.
It was a light shove and Mahomes did the old “soccer flop” causing the flag to be thrown. Yes, that is a penalty in today’s NFL (sadly), but, the flop really pushed the Ref to throw the flag.
I’m not saying it wasn’t.
im saying… wtf man. You are the guy that gave them the SB.
refs were terrible all of playoffs.
I don’t recall any “Expedited Reviews”
was there?
Yes, a few
You are right, it was very stupid to touch Mahomes in that instance.
Yup it was dumb. And 99/100 will get called.
sucks it comes down to that after how hard they played all year.
Chefs probably still win, only needed a few more yards and still had time to throw over the middle one more time and spike it. It is a weak penalty though and would have been nice to see the Chefs earn the last 10 – 15 yards for the game winning kick. The biggest factor in that game was the Bengals Oline, particularly the RT, they were brutalized the entire game and the sack on the last possession gave Chefs the chance for the FG.
Jones dominated that game and showed why he was an all pro.
and you’re correct.
optics matter. Mahomes hitting Kelce for the needed yards vs the penalty would have been preferred.
I’m looking forward to the matchup in the trenches in the SB, both the Chiefs and Eagles have high end lines. Mahomes should be moving much better by the SB as well.
Your nickname isn’t Log Cabin for nothing.
You’d like to hope so… for KC’s sakes.
he’s dangerous either way.
Kelce is good at football stuffs.
and I like to see Jet still making noise.
It all depends on who Goodell wants to win.
I’m just tired of refs deciding the outcome of games. It’s widespread. It’s getting to the point where I look at anyone who doesn’t think the NFL as rigged the same as I look at people who think professional wrestling isn’t scripted.
I feel bad for Ossei or whatever his name is, dude felt horrible. Yeah, shouldn’t have “pushed” Mahoney, but fuck, that flag should not get thrown.
Well, that ref must still fall for the “I’ve got your nose” trick then
Overall, the refs sucked but I don’t get that take. Ossai pushed Mahomes well out of bounds with both his hand and his opposite forearm. Because of that, Mahomes has no choice to go down to avoid running full out into the bench.
It was unfortunate it happened, given the situation. But I don’t see anyway that flag isn’t thrown.
Especially with how obvious the refs were being in ticky tack calls against them all game.
There needs to be something that makes sense because that is true, many QBs have used that running out of bounds to get defenders to pull up just to squeak out more yards.
Like the slide rule but out of bounds.
I know I’ve seen Rodgers do it plenty of times
Exactly what I was thinking, like if it looks like he is running out of bounds then blow the whistle and the ref can mark the ball at the angle of where it looked like he was headed out?
i think once the qb gives the impression he is going out of bands, they need to call it right at that spot.
similar to when they slide, spot it right at the spot they started to go down.
Also… that call where they “respotted” the ball on camera angles made for fans.
that was wild.
with the announcers spending the next few plays trying to justify the call.
it just felt icky
it blows my mind that anyone thinks thats the actual line of scrimmage. i hate that so much.
was mahomes pushed? yes
did mahomes get a call from christopher nolan after that acting job? yes
i hate when a game is decided on the refs. i could have seen zero flag thrown there as well as a flag thrown there.
Yup.
im not saying it couldn’t have been a penalty.
I am saying that a penalty like that shouldn’t be called to send someone to the Super Bowl.
I have no dog in this fight, as a football observer it’s gross.
yes i agree, no dog in that fight.
although i do think the Bengals have a better offense to go against the Eagles.
I hope mahomes can get 100% healthy and their Wr’s can as well.
The eagles can NOT win this bleeping game.
I wish the Vikings had a competent defense.
curious to see what our defense would have done if we let the big D man go after like week 7 or 8 when we could see the writing on the wall….
welp… they still would’ve been old and shitty.
so… maybe they beat the giants? Who
knows.
who cares.
False, KC offense is much better to do a way better oline
true they do have a way better Oline.
you got me there
Yup, exactly. Should’ve flagged Mahomey for acting like a soccer player.
Refs vs the refs in the SB.
They are not even trying to hide it anymore.
If the NFL wanted to fix the SB they would have put the Bills in it. The refs just suck.
Like Josh Allen and the bills.
they suck.
Probably true. I read a comment from a Vikings fan on another blog that said, something like, “Well, the NFL got their Kelce Bowl, which is what they wanted from the beginning.”
I had to laugh. Literally, no one was talking about a Kelce Bowl until last night, so I’m not sure what “beginning” he was referring to.
Hahahahaha right?
next year… the Bills may get their shot. It’s Allen’s turn right?
As far as the NFC… who’s the young stud QB to cheer for other than hurts?
Jones? Fields? Murray? Is there one?
@Kirk is the best QB to not win a SuperBowl since Dan Mario, give him one@
I didn’t even bring him up oh Surly one.
You said “young” QBs
mid 30s is young.
For a quarterback?
Not really, I meant I’m not old. I’m still young.
Yeah, agreed, but you’re not an NFL QB.
Not that I’m aware of, anyway.
There are none in the NFC. Hurts, but he’ll be shit in 5 years.
Was talking with my co-worker the other day, the NFC has zero in the way of young QB talent, it’s all in the AFC. Mahomes, Herbert, Allen, etc. Nothing in the NFC.
Love. That guy GF found on Tweeter says he’s going to be the MVP next year.
Yeah, pay no attention to Philly an KC being the two best teams throughout the season. But also, Colts beat KC so they are still better.
solid meme usage. Up vote
Every time I watch the eagles they give me more and more to cheer against them.
Their coach is the epitome of douchenozzle and the way he tried to get the crowd pumped up as there was literally a brawl on the field. The officials are literally using the loudspeakers to call the teams to their respective sidelines ans what’s oh coach mcdocuchey do? Get all his players on their side? Nope he turns to the crowd and raises his hands to get the crowd pumped.
He literally is the worst
I’ve been saying it for weeks…I fucking hate that guy and want to punch him in the face.
They even ran a story on GMFB last week about how all the people from his home town area still hate him because in sports he played he was such a douche. They literally hired the guy who personifies the fanbase of horseshit eating douchebags.
But how do you really feel?
So you don’t like Sirianni? I can’t quite tell.
I made a post about standing with 49er fans yesterday and to send those santa booing, battery throwing, vehicular homicide attempting fans home with a loss! I got a few messages from Eagle fans, “Eat Shit Mike!” lol. It sucks because they are really friggin good.
Roseman is a good GM.
could you imagine if he took JJ and not Reagor?
Who’s Mike?
Me, I’m Mike. It’s short for Michael.
I found that funny.
Hi Mike
OK, Eat Shit Mike!
I thought maybe the Eagle fan who actually ate shit was named Mike, short for Michael.
My takeaway, other than the obvious terrible officiating and the fact that the outcome is predetermined was this.
on 4th and 6, needing a fist down and a score, Joe Burrow was about to get crushed, and tossed a ball up to a double covered Jamar Chase, who made the play and they got a first and goal.
Kirk, 4th and 8, well.. we know he said he wanted to get the ball to JJ but did not like the look.
There is the difference.
Bangles still lost thanks to some stupidity, but with the game on the line, I want Joe or someone like him, or someone with an upside, playing QB vs Kirk.
FTP
FTE
@stop comparing Cousins to the great QB’s. It’s not fair. Be happy with mediocre.@
Pretty much sums it up, Burrow just chucks it up to his best receiver to go for the win, Kirk checks it down to the TE because he doesn’t want to risk it despite the game being determined by the throw. But hey, Kirk had a great stat line and that’s all that matters.
didn’t kirk do this on 4th and 17 to JJ for a first down against the bills?
but yes, i would obviously much rather have burrow than kirk. i don’t think anyone is arguing that or saying that at all.
He did, which makes it even more dumbfounding that he shit himself and checked it down to Hock in the playoffs.
Yep.
