Go hawks!
Kirko chains Cousins is our revenge for 1998.
Darnold the MVP
The entire media just seems to forget Minnesota and Detroit game was basically split down the middle stats wise and it took a last minute field goal for Detroit to win the same as they did with the Packers yet the Packers get praises for how they took Detroit to the wire and the media just pretends that Vikings game didn’t exist 😂 insane
Jordan love throwing prayers off his back foot constantly but somehow still people think the Packers are better than Minnesota
Minnesota 🔥 SKOL
Kirk Cousins: “ Walk into your trap,…..” oh, the end. 😂
SKOL
Sam Darnold, America's quaterback.
B Flo is a real one.
Cousins has definitely hit a wall. Hard to tell if it's Father Time or something that has gone awry in the communication between him and their OC Robinson, or something else. It's ugly, though.
Funny.. the guy wins 6 games in a row some close and then throws for 5 TD's and as close to perfect as you can and he still gets doubts… Ummm no… If you get today's Sam Darnold Vikes win every game clearly…
Darnold is straight up HUNTING downfield!
Huh? It was their zone defense that was picked apart.
They switched to man vs the cardinals and shut them down.
They switched to man vs Cousins and shut him down.
Cousins still has it but I think he and and his OC aren't on the same page.
Moving the ball between the 20s is Kirk’s strength and weakness because he gets the stats, but doesn’t seal the deal — unless it’s a guaranteed fat contract; he’s one of the best at sealing those deals.
It seems like as soon as they dialed back the hurry up offense and slowed the game down a bit this is when he started to come out
Falcon fans are dealing with the Kirk Cousins' Experience. Enjoy salary cap purgatory and mediocrity for the next 4 years.
The Vikings have gone farther than the sports media, fans (including myself) thought they'd go & I'm enjoying the ride. No matter how this season ends I'm proud of this team💜💛
Slinging Sammy Darnold, America's Quarterback
Hey Simms someone's talking …SHUT UP.
Vikings beat the Packers already, went toe to toe with the Lions. Im ready for the Vikings to shock people
Vikings play well and the entire video was them dissecting Kirk Cousins and how bad he was and has always been. He is a great QB when things stay on script, but as soon as he has to improvise, its over. The Vikings faithful have seen this Kirk Cousins before and been on the losing end, but thankfully, no more. Every top player needs to get Kirk's agent on the phone. This dude has fleeced the NFL out on millions for an average winning QB 😂 So glad Cousins is somebody else's problem now.
We don't care or want your respect. We'll just keep beating who's in front of us
We have the best wide receiver duo in the league paired with a quarterback starting to blossom.
League is on notice.
Guarantee Florio will find something negative to say about it
If Dallas Turner doesn't get another snap this season, that sack on Kirk was worth his rookie year alone.
Feel sorry for Cousins. Not because he lost, but because it looks like he may be finished which is sad because he was a gamer.
Kirk was always really good at the scripted first drive but then…..
Kirk Cousins pissed off? Get real. Kirk is the self-described CEO on the field. CEOs don’t get pissed off. CEOs are methodical. Emotionless. Robotic. They thrive on spreadsheets and charts and P&Ls. Concerned? Sure. Irritated? Maybe. Pissed off? Never.
Which is exactly what’s wrong with him.
Sam is the man.
Darnold does exactly what KOC asks of him. If he doesn’t throw much to Jefferson, it was usually because he wasn’t supposed to in those plays.
If maga and trump take away our SS security and Medicare and Medicaid and EBT and Obama care and VA benefits we will resist 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
We had 4 turnovers you just simply arent gonna win many games with that many turnovers idgaf how good your team is. Kirk will remain the starter no matter what unfortunately and we will miss the playoffs. I just hope he is one and done and we just move on i like kirk as a person but as a player ive lost all faith these losses have undone all the good this season and even if we make it into the playoffs we are gonna get smacked. And penix can make those throws kirk cant and he can run🤷🏾♂️
What if Minnesota wins the Superbowl this year do the Vikings sign Darold to a long term..maybe 3 years
Nbc are bums. Skol vikings
I dont blame you guys on the predictions at all with darnold . Nobody wouldve thought he would be doing this good. Very cool he is now. Hopefully he can keep it up.
Addison catching everything and JJ is the man!
I booed Cousins because he got paid a bunch of money and did NOTHING! Not because he took Atlanta's offer. I wanted Cousins gone and I'm glad!
I guess Florio will be back on the bandwagon with the Vikes being his number 1 team again.
As a Vikes fan I thought the Falcons O-line did a good job vs. the Vikes blitzes…Our D in general did not have a good day. The offense was the star in this game! SKOL!
Falcons are bad. 1 and done. GB will beat queens in Minnesota.
Vikings are better than the Packers, period. Neither of them are on the same level as a healthy Lions team though.
Give Sam a cowboy hat and you have Red Head Redemption
It’ll take the Vikings to win 10 Super Bowl for media to respect them keep hating lions game Jared Goff almost cried Vikings are a real team this is t a joke skol
