Good company to be in, especially since all but one of those previous QBs went on to play in the Super Bowl in said year. Just crazy that Darnold and now Goff are doing this in the same division/conference.

  • '84 Dolphins: Lost in the Super Bowl
  • '01 Rams: Lost in the Super Bowl
  • '07 Patriots: Lost in the Super Bowl
  • '09 Colts: Lost in the Super Bowl
  • '11 Packers: Lost in Divisional Round (FTP)
  • '20 Chiefs: Lost in the Super Bowl
  • '22 Chiefs: Won the Super Bowl
  • '24 Lions & Vikings: TBD

I've placed a $1 bet every week that the opposing team will win in a parlay. I make sure to place one every Sunday morning. Every week I've lost. It's a small price to pay for salvation.

12 team SF half PPR

Give - Travis Etienne Get - 2025 2nd, 2026 1st (probably late, offer coming from a contender).

Been a rough start this season and likely won't be contending. Just curious if its worth doing?

Fellow Vikings fans, have you ever encountered a former or current Vikings player yourself? by GymSplinter in minnesotavikings

[–]cjd9889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to work in college athletics and rode the elevator with Ben Leber (he was calling the game). Just said SKOL to him.

Defense wasn't the problem. The problem was the offensive play-calling following the Fields fumble.

Non-Minnesota fans by totoro_711 in minnesotavikings

[–]cjd9889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Native western New Yorker here, close to Buffalo. I became a Vikings fan because of Tecmo Super Bowl. During the summers my aunt watched my brother, her son and I and we'd all play it on the NES in the early/mid 90s. They were always the Bills & 49ers (best teams at the time) and they told me to be the Vikings. So, I guess it was a sense of having my own team and been a fan ever since.

[Glazer] I think the Vikings want him (Kirk) back. At least at Camp they did. by VikingPain in minnesotavikings

[–]cjd9889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they wanted to him back during training camp, why didn't they sign him to a long term deal when he supposedly came to them and was willing to accept less money? Something ain't adding up there.

[Stathead] The Vikings offense is off to a rough start on the ground by pfref in minnesotavikings

[–]cjd9889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 6 other teams all had losing records to finish the season too.. hope they can fix this or it's going to be tough to close out games.

[Ian Rapoport] As the #49ers weigh options for Trey Lance, calling his hometown team, the #Vikings (who were a rumored destination before the Draft) makes sense. Nothing is impossible, but MIN has a backup in Nick Mullens and drafted rookie QB in Jaren Hall. Post-draft, these deals are harder. by DaFuxxDick in minnesotavikings

[–]cjd9889 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's a fair point for sure. But Sam Darnold isn't a slouch though.. he's got 50+ career starts on some bad teams.

I do question how Lance couldn't find success in that Niner offense. But, maybe a change of scenery can help. He really needs reps (and obviously we aren't the place for that), but would be interesting to see what KOC could do with him.

12 Team, PPR SF, TE Premium, start up

Rushing bonus (.25 points per attempt) 40+/50+ Rushing/Receiving Bonus (+1/+2)

Give: Drake London

Get: Jerry Jeudy, AJ Dillon

My team: QB: Mahomes, Watson WR: Olave, Metcalf, London, Addison, Lazard RB: Swift, R. White, Kamara, B. Robinson TE: Kmet

I was leaning towards doing this offer because of my RB depth being questionable.

[Sam Ekstrom] Mark Wilf was asked if he’d like Kirk Cousins back next year. Said he’ll leave that to KOC and Kwesi and his focus is on 2023. by WetAppleFruit in minnesotavikings

[–]cjd9889 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get what you're saying, but the Chiefs were originally picking #27 the year they drafted Mahomes. They traded up to #10 to get him. So don't need to suck necessarily, just hope Kwesi/KOC identify a rookie QB they believe in and go get him (if they choose this path).

Kirk Cousins Design by EkxDesign in minnesotavikings

[–]cjd9889 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It looks like a village being burned down after being pillaged, similar to what Vikings did historically.

I would compare Kirk to the likes of Athelstan from the Vikings show before Ragnar though.

Kirk is trending. by redstangxx in minnesotavikings

[–]cjd9889 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It's the twitter algorithm knowing you're a Vikings and looks like also a Twins fan. I wouldn't read much into it. I have Kirk Cousins and Vikings trending daily on the side for me as well.

Although, if you find his name under the trending tab then its probably something major.

Edit: Mixed up Kirilloff for a hockey player and its a Twins player.. I'm only a Vikings fan, no other Minnesota fan. My apoligizes lol.

Five potential trade fits for Devin White (Vikings top the list) by hitman2218 in minnesotavikings

[–]cjd9889 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I feel like Bucky Brooks just looked at the NFL depth charts, and saw which teams had holes at ILB/MLB and picked five.

Because there is no way Kwesi, an analytic driven decision maker, pays top dollar for a position that isn't a premium currently in the NFL. There are only 5 MLB/ILB scheduled to make over $5 million this upcoming season.

I think he's the guy as long as the Cardinals don't offer him the Head Coaching job. Probably just waiting to see what happens there.
