Wondering if Kirk wishes COVID would have taken him right now...
This here is the ass of a drunken shitbird!
Vikes run game getting stuffed at the line. Hopefully that will be theme of the 2nd half. Vikes will have to pass to catch up to ATL, today. Look for another Kark INT in the second half.
I'd like to make a motion to allow X4 access to our sweet Viking fan trolls.
2nd.
Matt Ryan completes a pass to the Vikings 3 with 24 seconds left in the 1st half with a TO remaining.
At that point you let the clock run down to just under 20 seconds then burn that TO. Gives you 3 shots at throwing for a TD. If it’s not there on 1st, 2nd, or 3rd you throw it away leaving 4-5 seconds on the clock. Kick the Fg.
instead. Matt kept the TO. Rushed everyone to the line, ran a play and threw it 20 yards out of the end zone. 9 seconds left. Tried a running play. Didn’t work. TO. Then kicked the FG.

Doug Pederson's Eagles are a hot mess.
Luckily Zim-zam got his extension up front.

Seven words that have never been written in that sequence.
Wow, Foles. That looked like Rex Grossman.
So Kirkland has thrown 14 balls and 3 went to the Falcons? My God.

Cousins has 10 interceptions this season and has thrown 26 in 35 games for the Vikings.
Cousins almost has to play for them next year as it would be a 41 million dollar cap hit to cut him (31 million cap hit to keep him).
What I hadn't realized was that he also has this clause in the contract.
https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/mi...s/kirk-cousins-9915/
- 2022 salary fully guarantees on the 3rd league day of 2021 (injury guaranteed now)
So, I think what that means is that if he is the VIkings QB next year they will automatically guarantee his 2022 salary of 35 million.
Wow, that's a bad contract.
Randall Cobb getting a TD.
The Vikings have made the Falcons look like a top NFC contender today.
Looks like Vikings going to bring in backup QB and spare us Kark...

Sid could take no more
It's all about timing, but Cousins getting 150 million for 5 years as a Viking is amazing when you consider that Andy Dalton (a guy who is the same age and the same type of QB - a mid-tier guy good enough to win with if everything else is good) is playing for the Cowboys for 3 million this year.
What I don’t get is this was supposed to be Kirks last year on the old contract and he did well last year. Have him play it out.
If you give Cousins 4 seconds to throw, he's not a bad QB. Anything less and he's a below mid-tier guy. That last sequence just showed it. Yes, he has a bad line, but you'd think he could read and slide protections or find a dumpoff or switch to a run or something, but he's really just a robot who carries out whatever play is sent in no matter if it will fail or not.

And Cam getting even less.
DeShaun Watson with authority!!!!
The way the Vikings are playing they are on their way to a top 10 draft pick, but with that contract they are committed to to Cousins for two more years, or cap hell with a young QB behind a poor O'line.
Thanks Spielman!
Sign Spielman & ZimZam to lifetime contracts
Chase Claypool would have looked nice in green and gold. He’s really coming on for the Steelers.

Or not
@PackerHawk posted:And Cam getting even less.
Yes. I was really, really worried Cam was going to end up in Chicago. He's the perfect QB for a team like Chicago where the game will be close and his ability to run could make a huge difference. Also the fact that when he's healthy he can actually win a game for you (not just be a game manager).
Nick Foles isn't a bad value at 3 years and 24 million, but Cam at 1 year and 1.7 million was baffling.

Randall Cobb getting a TD.
It would have been nice to see what a guy like Cobb could have done under MLF. He was a great Packer, but he was kind of mismatched to MM's style. MM's style could be summed up as "get a bunch of WRs that are physically more talented than the other teams DBs, keep it simple, and just let them win matchups that your HOF QB can capitalize on." Cobb, especially after he got dinged up, wasn't that type of player and always had trouble with press coverage, but he was one of the savviest WRs out there and would have been great in the bunched formations and motion that MLF uses.
A 40 burger.
I wish they would switch this market to another game...
Watched Cobb's 108 yard KO return from his rookie year the other day ..... shocked me to see the loss of speed in a relatively short period of time with him. Great kid, another career diminished by injury.
Holy crap that is so close in the Tennessee game but that is not a touchdown I don't care what they rule.
Edit: that is 100% the NFL's call to keep the game close and go into overtime.
NFLFU
Cobb's role could've been running some of the routes from the backfield or flank that Jones runs now and the sweeps that Ervin runs, in addition to lining up in the slot or at WR.
Panthers, if you score go for two. Don't want an OT game.
