Titans vs. Vikings Week 3 Highlights | NFL 2020: https://youtu.be/p87ff2NvQPg
😁
Not one mention of the queens game on PFT. Florio must be saving it for himself when his TV duties are finished.
I watched the local NBC affiliate( KARE 11) out of the Twin Cities after the Packers won the game, on SNF. The anchor and the sports guy mostly ragged on the vikings, and Cousins, in particular. It is great to see Minnesota fans become "fair weather" fans after a loss, and especially so, after going 0-3! The anchor was saying how Cousins isn't the QB this team needs. No kidding! This was Cousins best game of the season and the vikings ended up losing 31-30 to the Titans. The calls for getting rid of Cousins are growing in Minnesota. They should have thought of that prior to giving him $90 trillion, in guaranteed money. Into irrelevancy go the queens. Cellar dwellers. A thing of beauty!
But at least they gave a huge contract to a RB that gets injured every year.
The increasing calls to "Trade Cousins" are absurd. You need a partner in order to trade. Who's going to take on a fully guaranteed, top tier contract for an under-performing game manger?
I think they really mean "Drop him off in a box at the fire station."
It's that contract that leads me to believe the "tanking for Trevor" crap will have Spieldope picking a olineman instead of Lawrence if that were to actually become a reality.
I've never seen a fanbase root to tank a season two games in with a supposed SuperBowl team.

I think their best case scenario is that his "if I die, I die" comments become prophecy.
On another (non-football) forum I frequent, one of the posters is from Romania. This morning he had the following to say:
So because I had a few buck online for betting on the nba I decided to put one bet on your American lesser rugby. Never watched a game, don’t know anything, though I might get lucky. Multiple bet 7 games moneyline. Got 6 of 7. Stupid Vikings. So close.
Always bet on the Vikings to fail eventually.

They literally can't do anything with him until 2022 unless they are going to cut a bunch of guys to cover the cap acceleration a trade would cause. They would have to absorb an extra 41 million this year to trade him or an extra 10 million next year (on top of the 31 million he's already owed) to move on. This is from Sportrac.com

What gets me is why they just didn't let him play out this year and move on without all this burden. Same reason I guess they gave the sketchy coach and GM more money...

Vikings that have worn the number 8:
- Greg Coleman (1978 - 1987)
- Todd Bouman (2001 - 2002)
- Aaron Elling (2003 - 2004)
- Ryan Longwell (2006 - 2011)
- Sam Bradford (2016 - 2017)
- Kirk Cousins (2018- present)
Now I understand the Cousin's suck. He inherited it from Sam Bradford.

Cousins (and Viking fans) one step closer to getting his wish.

"The Vikings said that, as of Tuesday morning, it had received no positive tests results for anyone with their club."
If Ron Wolf had operated like the Vikings, he would have stuck with Don Majkowski until he could give big money to Scott Mitchell.
Saw this on Twitter a couple of minutes ago.
Current state of Minnesota sports: The Twins just lost their 17th in a row. Vikings hoping Kirk Cousins! can salvage 0-3 start. Wild fans point to bright future for the 11th consecutive year. Timberwolves star spent more time on TMZ than voluntary camp. At least we have the Lynx.

When, this season, have the vikings ever had positive results for anyone with their club? Heading to 0-4, Barooooooo!
At this time, do you see 4 or more wins for the Vikings this year? I don’t.
We want them to suck but not so badly that they get a top pick or fire Spielman and/or Zimmer
I think they get between 6 and 9 wins. More likely 7 or 8 IMO.
They’re aren’t great, but they have some talent on the team. Kirk will have some good games, especially as pressure fades. They get to play DET and CHI each twice, and they aren’t infinitely worse than either of them. They also play CAR, ATL, and JAC. They’ll also probably steal a game or two.
Without minicamps, training camps and preseason games, I think it will take many teams a while to gel. There are worse teams with worse talent than MIN.
That said, F ‘em!!,
I can't see them loosing more than the Jets or Giants. Lawrence will be NY one or another.
You're going to throw away Danny Dimes &/or Darnold?? They're pretty young & haven't had jack shit put around them.
Darnold....maybe. But Can't see Gettleman giving up so soon on Danny "Making Rhymes & Droppin" DIMES!
So I hear the Vikings closed down all football operations yesterday. Just how would one know that they gave closed down? Pretty much looks like business as usual from where I sit. ;-)

Well, for started. They didn’t lose yesterday.
Oh you have such shiny green and yellow (Gold??) glasses sir.
That's because all Hispanics look alike to you.
This thread turned racist fast.
Shame on the both of you , white devils.
The vikings have a Bye in week 7. Until then, they play at Houston in week 4; at Seattle in week 5 and at home vs the Falcons in week 6. They could be 0-6 when their bye comes along. I think, though that they have a shot at a win in Houston, unless Houston wakes up, or at home versus the Falcons in week 6. So either 0-6 or 1-5 or maybe even 2-4 at best. I think they will win two of those games, and knock themselves out of contention for the Clemson Jesus. Are there any good Centers available in Round 1 of the next draft? Kickers? Anyone?
