Watching the ATL/TB game tonight, I finally see that Kirk Cousins is exactly who we watched while he was in MN. I was delusional in thinking he could take us anywhere. He puts up stats, gives hope, but is a statue in the pocket, check down too quick on critical long yardage, and ultimately ends up choking in primetime.

Never thought I'd say I'm happy to have Sam Darnold, but for God's sake he can feel pressure and slide in the pocket or run when needed to keep drives alive. So far, good move for the Vikings and WAY cheaper option.

As usual, I'm probably Vikings delusional again - just with a different "Great White Hope".

Edit: I write this with 1:08 left in the game. Maybe this doesn't age well, maybe it does.

It is perfect Baker is my qb this week ot more points

 

[Kurtr]

Damn Kirk didn’t even give baker a chance

 

[CatDaddy]

Yep, didn't age well. Couins is apparently the GOAT. FML.

 

[Rowdie]

YOU LIKE THAT!

 

[CatDaddy]

YOU LIKE THAT!

Exactly.

42/58 for 509 yard. 4 TD, 1 INT. Wow. In Prime Time too, second time this season. Just couldn't do it for the Vikes I guess.

 

[Rowdie]

All QBs need time. Last year he was doing good, they killed SF and GB, he got hurt.

Yes, but he is 36 years old. He's had time and was proven to be "who he is". Not tonight!

 

[Kurtr]

51.36 fantasy points and he is a free agent . Half temped to pick him up if he keeps putting numbers up like that

 

[Maddog]

It is these nuts were in your mouth last Sunday. Keep living in the past.

keep dreaming . ..

you are too easy to get riled up

Kirk can have a thousand yard, ten touchdown game, or two. I don't care. Two good seasons in a 14 year career....? He is gone. That is all that matters.

Is this one of those neutral field but it is considered a home game for the Vikings deals? Away team should have been off the field, but they are both away teams.

Thoroughly enjoyed that half. Got to watch A-aron pump fake his own back out of the back field, get pissy about it, and listen to the talking heads blame the back. Classic A-aron's dick in their mouth non-sense praise. I've missed that. Don't forget to cup his balls boys.

 

[Kurtr]

Dumb penalty. Never count Rodger’s out I don’t care if he is in a wheel chair he is always dangerous

 

[Eatsleeptrap]

He is just phoning this game in. He so obviously doesn't give a shit.

 

[Kurtr]

Dumb dumb penalty are going to cost this game

 

[Kurtr]

If this is Rodger’s mailing it in I would hate to see him trying

 

[Eatsleeptrap]

That was one drive. Maybe the pain woke him up from the Jet lag. Barely 50% completion and 2 picks. C'mon man.
