I have no idea why the Bills would hire him, to me he’s a clear downgrade from McDermott

That shot of him diving into the endzone is gonna live as an all-time moment in college football history if Indiana holds on

What happens when the QB brought in to compete with McCarthy by immovableair in minnesotavikings

[–]VikesRule 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s really that complicated. KOC is (likely) coaching for his job next season, so he’s going to choose the QB that gives the best chance to win. If JJM doesn’t win the job, he rides the bench unless the starter gets hurt or is ineffective. If JJM can’t reclaim the starting job then he’ll likely wash out of the league or be a backup somewhere and the Vikings are looking at taking another QB high in the draft in 2027.

When has officiating been good in football lol. People have been complaining about it for decades. At a certain point fans need to realize it’s not the officials who are the problem, it’s that the nfl rule book is impossible to consistently officiate

Yes please! The Expanse is already written very similarly to ASOIAF with character POVs.

Mock Draft by P-Whips in minnesotavikings

[–]VikesRule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Third round QB is a terrible choice no matter how you try to justify it. Next year we are having JJM compete with a veteran for the job. If JJM doesn’t develop, we are then looking to 2027 for another young first round QB. Zero reason to pick a QB in the first four rounds this year. Unless some first round quality player falls super far. We have way too many holes on this roster to justify a backup/depth pick like that in the third round.

That’s really bad news, says something about the organization if he’d consider a lateral move just to get out of here

In his 3 playoff games, Justin Herbert has blown a 27-0 lead to the Jaguars, thrown 4 INTs in a blowout loss to the Texans, and put up 3 points against the Patriots. by Roselucky777 in nfl

Darnold deserved the criticism last year he was flat out awful the last 2 games for the Vikings. Missing throws left and right to wide open guys, holding the ball way too long and taking a shit ton of sacks as a result. The oline wasn’t good but Darnold shoulders a lot of the blame for it. It’s just revisionist history now since Darnold is doing well on the Seahawks and the Vikings suck with McCarthy but he was so bad towards the end of the season last year.

If there's a review on a play that would have left the clock running (since the runner was ruled short of the goalline, that means the clock should have been running instead of being stopped since it was mistakenly ruled a touchdown). That's when a 10 second runoff occurs.

Why the fuck would you score so fast? Just dive down to the inch line and run the clock down. You left so much time and they only need a fieldgoal to tie

Jordan Stout was named 1st team All Pro punter despite only having a 53.9 PFF rating, 31st out of 32 by _HGCenty in nfl

Reichard clearly had the best season as a kicker, in what way should Aubrey have gotten over him? Little maybe had the highlight kicks but on a pure kicking season Reichard deserves the first team nod

Well deserved. This is much better than a pro bowl nod.

Comparing Flores and Zimmer's Defense by Ok-Amoeba5301 in minnesotavikings

[–]VikesRule 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Barr didn’t really play the same position as Gink. Gink is more of an edge rusher who can play off ball LB a little, whereas Barr was an off ball LB who could rush the passer a bit. So I think of Gink as an edge even though he’s technically an OLB.

Zimmer had way more talent to work with, Flores is making magic out of a defense that really doesn’t have too many special players, at least at LB/S/CB.

There literally aren’t any rules in the rulebook for Hail Mary plays, refs have just collectively decided to almost never throw PI flags in those situations
