We're not bad enough to go worse than 8-8. Minnesota Wild syndrome. Not good enough to win the Cup. Not bad enough to get a top pick. I didnt say we would be a bad team. We will probably be close to 9-7. But we can trade up for a QB. Might take multiple future 1st round picks, but i say go for it. Im tired of this no QB crap. Ive been a Vikings fan for a long time and i just want the darn QB position solved. Not to say a rookie will solve it, but he will have a better chance than Kirk freaking Cousins. Also you dont have to have a top 5 pick to get a QB. Recently Watson, Mahomes, Lamar, & Haskins fell outside of the top 10 picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 (edited) After giving up 21 the defense played lights out. Kicker...well, typical Minnesota kicking game. Cook and Mattison are fantastic. The officials are not. And Cousins....he can't make a clutch throw with the game on the line to save his skin! I think Kirk is a nice guy and good teammate. He will never embarrass anyone with his off field behavior. But man, I really don't want him as my qb directing a comeback to try to win a meaningful game. "You like that." Not really, Kirk. Not really. Edited September 15, 2019 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikesfan89 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Cousins was bad today but what was the deal with the td they took away? I'm not reading through the thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But picking in the mid or high teens keeps you away from the bigger QBs unless a trade or you're sure on a QB. Obviously there's always exceptions to the rule but there's been more mid round misses than hits.... We're due!

Klomp Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Interestingly enough, I was more frustrated with the team in the first half than I was at the end of the game. We weren't going to go 16-0. Losses happen. Lambeau is a tough place to play, and Green Bay looks to have an improved defense. That doesn't mean the season is over or that we're destined to be average or that it's time to tank. Are there negatives we can take from this game that need to be addressed? Of course. But there were also a number of positive signs. Let's not be blind to them just because we're frustrated about a loss. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adjustments at half on both sides were good. Kirk, kicking, and inner oline are negatives. But look at the line....rookie at C, backup at LG. Can only get better, right?

That call and kirk's int in the end zone cost us the game. But hey its early for the refs on the field and early for the refs in New York. On to sarcastaball!! What is even a catch these days???

Eric dunn Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 There are numerous guys who will come in and say oh its only week 2, there are a bunch of positives today. And that's all well and fine. But here is the real take. Minnesota can not win a big game when the football game is in Kirk Cousins' hands. And to be a championship team, your QB must be able to win a game every once in a while. Look at last year vs Seattle & New England (he choked). And today, he choked. Thats just who he is and this team or any team for that matter isnt going anywhere with him leading the way. Period. We can give him all the excuses in the world, poor OL or playcalling or whatever. But today he missed open WRs on what would have been big plays AND he made two terrible decisions (one of which is the most brutal decison ive seen since Brett Favre's NFCCG throw vs NO). You know who would have never done any of these things????? TEDDY! The guy i begged and pleaded to keep a few offseasons ago. I understand why they did what they did, but keeping Teddy would have 100% have been the better decision. Because he has the ability to win you games, but most importantly he isnt going to be the reason you lose games. As Cousins was the main reason we lost today in GB. Im done with Cousins, and nothing will ever change my mind unless he wins the SB. Id love to be wrong. But i very strongly feel this is accurate. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrplChilPill Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 I too have lost confidence in Kirk. It's not like he was great last year. Good luck to the team..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk is 4/25 vs. .500+ teams. 4/26 now. It's not opinion, it's fact. It doesn't matter if it's with Washington or Minnesota.... He doesn't win big games. Today would have been won with even a mediocre performance but he couldn't even deliver that. 3 turnovers, one in the endzone. How people can defend this is mind boggling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
