I said once and ill say it again. That water party where they hoisted Darnold and celebrated that Greenbay win was Sam’s jinx. He got comfortable and forgot to fight.
I’m with ya . I never like to see those kind of celebrations for regular season stats and achievements. Save that type of shit for when you win the very last game of the year . I still have a sick feeling when I watch old footage of my 1995 red wings celebrating going to the finals like They’d just won the cup .
I think everyone (anyone who's been a Viking fan for any amount of time) knew that was pathetic celebrating like that for literally nothing. A normal ass regular season game acting like they won the super bowl foh wit that Vikings
I cannot wait for fans to experience what I know of JJ. He is super calm under pressure and the moment is never to big for him. The chosen one is ready.
I honestly think JJ is gonna be great maybe not a perennial all pro but a great leader who plays calm in big games, a winner through and through. I'm excited to see what he's got.
No urgency, no adjustments. Clock management was atrocious in the 2nd half. Epic collapse that seems to be internal. Inexcusable these last two weeks!!
I fully expected the crushing loss - it's what the Vikings do. They excel at it, and if honest, any long term Viking fan expected this and consider it normal.
I’ve been a Viking fan since “61” and I can indeed concur that your statement speaks volumes. I sincerely wish someone in the upper staff of the Vikings could read it because enough is enough already to many play off losses !
@@rollerr People look at Vikings fans and see a ton of mid to great seasons. Very few really bad seasons and they think, how lucky. However, that's exactly why it's hard to be a Vikings fan, as it's always just enough to get your hopes up and destroy them. It's not a mentality, it's a reality that's been beaten into Vikings fans. It's only going to go away once the Vikings win it all.
Every team has bad contracts, and it’s too early to call the love one bad just yet, weird how you are worrying about the packers when you’re a Vikings fan ? They aren’t paying top dollar at TE WR LT like the Vikings, it all evens out.
Epic collapse the last two weeks. The writing was on the wall when the Vikings lost an extremely important game to the Lions. Trenches need to be a priority in the offseason. I'm not sure we can get anything in return for Darnold anymore. I'm excited for JJ McCarthy. SKOL!
@@kwc7275Beezy couldn't tackle a fricken towel the past few weeks. I hope we don't resign him. Good dude. At best decent backup safety imo. Theo Jackson should have started.
We had to outdo ourselves from 2022 when we won 13 games and lost in the Wild Card round. Next year, we'll probably go 15-2 and lose in the Wild Card round.
The script is kind of ridiculous from the NFL: Vikings start 5-0, then lose to the Lions and Rams. Then they go 9-0, and then lose to the Lions and Rams. The script writers are horrible.
Watching your videos makes me feel a lot better about our team. It was a pretty big goal to make it to the super bowl this year and even win it so I'm proud of what our team did this year hopefully they can fix it as McCarthy brings us into divisional rounds next season. SKOL Vikings
KOC is the problem in my opinion. He’s too stubborn to make adjustments. Why are all his routes to the sidelines? Every team beats us by throwing to open routes in the middle of the field. It’s like he’s allergic to basic football. Seems like his whole offense is predicated on out routes and low percentage deep posts followed by running up the gut for no yards over and over.
@ this whole team needs a rebuild. Sadly this could have been a great year to poop the bed after the JJ injury and tank. Instead we over performed (not saying it wasn’t fun for a bit) and now we draft at the end of the draft.
If Stafford's "pass" was legit, then anytime a QB fumbles, he can call it a pass. Call it the "I did that on purpose" rule. Like when your sleeping cat falls off a coffee table. You could also say that Sam Darnold just made himself affordable to every team in the NFL. He may not get $50/5 from a couple teams, but he can get $20/2 from a bunch of teams. Cheap starter or super backup. He still winds up a very rich young man. Now he can go to Cleveland, Pittsburgh, LA, Vegas, Miami, etc. He can become Stafford's backup in LA. Compete with Purdy in San Fran. Not exactly NFL purgatory.
I wont lie it's a poo morning to wake up to (as an international fan). I am gutted, especially after seeing them this year in foggy old London town. I have enjoyed the season I'm still a Vikings fan, still wearing the purple and gold with pride. Not bad for a rebuild year 💜💛
I anticipated this outcome. McVay understands all of KOC's offensive strategies and has created a plan to defeat him. KOC needs to improve his running play designs. Congratulations to the Rams, and my thoughts and prayers are with LA!
I picked the Rams almost for this reason exclusively. He knows everything about KOCs strategy, tendencies, play design, concepts, and most importantly, that he doesn't adjust his game plan so once you stop him once you've stopped him all game.
We had a great season. Unexpected. Darnold is not our boy anymore....at least not mine. As a supporter since 72 I have seen much. JJ HAS to be our leader next season. Darnold lost 20 million a season last game. I feel badly for him and his family but damn! I want a playoff run!
It is it's gonna be a Detroit cause they wanna rebuild the city and good football brings money to the city. And the chiefs cause all the non regular football fans watch the chiefs so they want numbers...
The biggest win from last night: I don't have to listen to the haircuts talk about how we should sign Darnold for a million years and trade JJ McCarthy for all the picks because "he would be the best QB in this year's draft" 🥴🥴🥴 He was the best QB in last years draft, and he is staying right freaking here. Bye Sam 👋
Much rather have a guy like garopollo as JJ’s vet backup than Jones. Has a lot to show JJ with all his experience with Brady, Belicheck, Shannahan, Mcvay.
I've lost confidence in KOC. I want to be wrong about this, but so far, if I'm honest, he seems to be a good head coach, but not a great one. In the big games, when he's up against the best head coaches in the NFL, he's outclassed. He doesn' t prepare us to compete and win.
Darnold sealed his fate with the Vikings...he will be gone. He looked worse than when he was at NY. Sure, the line did not help, but ya got to get rid of the ball. Clearly, the Rams knew how long Darnold holds the ball and adjusted their defense accordingly
If I'm Zygi Wilf, I call Kevin O'Connell and Kwesi Adofo-Mensah into the office first thing today and tell them, "I'm extending you, but you have one year to turn this mess around."
I have two things in common with the Vikings: we both entered this world in 1961 and we both have the same number of Super Bowl rings. 🙄 I wasn’t on the bandwagon, they’ve broken my heart too many times. Maybe next year, but I’ll have to see it to believe it.
I have been on the Vikings bandwagon since 1970 or so, but I may take a break from riding on the bandwagon next year IF Kwesi A-M does not seriously upgrade the iOL & IDL during this off-season!
Lets be real, Darnold was the NFL's version of "Linsanity". It was never going to be more than that with him. They far outperformed expectations. Time to keep building and get the big boys we need up front.
Another season with a high win total, &ranked #5. And play competitive every game until the games that count , then get there ass beat twice . It's the first time I stopped watching them at half time in a PO game ever. I guess they decided to mimic there hockey team and the twins
We need to blow it up and start over. KOC’s play calling was horrible and he doesn’t make adjustments. No changes for Lions or Rams games after they beat us the first time. KAM’s lack of draft picks is killing our depth. Rebiuild with McCarthy and build an OLine!!!!!! Darnold looks scared, can’t take the sacks he was taking, holding the ball way too long. Sign Jones to back up McCarthy.
@ what did we rebuild. Brought some defensive FA’s on one year deals, extended a couple. Our drafts are killing a solid rebuild. Need to start with both lines.
Sam is the problem! I totally agree man ! I was screaming to the TV saying the same things. Both coaches ate trashed!! No adjustment! I'm done with the vikings!! Sorry ass sam loves to hold on the ball and get back reminded me of kirk. He definitely see ghost!! Embarrassing!
I don't want beezy, or any of our starting DBS back at all. Maybe practice tackling instead of celebrating. As much as I like and respect hitman it's time to retire
Glad you brought him up. When he is bad, he is bad, and last night's game, along with the lions highlighted that. Bad tackling and terrible angles along with spotty coverage. He is looking for a payday and frankly, the vikings can let him walk
2:45 yes, i agree!!! Fight till nobody is left standing!!!! 3:13 also not only sams fault!!! The O line gave up a couple weeks ago!!!! I wouldnt mind replacing atleast a few... mostly the right side
@@JF94-k4o lol O'Neill has had no help. No chipping TE or RB...nothing most of the time...and he's still one of the best RTs in the league. When Darrisaw returns, he & O'Neill will be one of the best OT duos in the NFL. It's ALL about the weak & porous *Interior* Offensive Line, in the following order (from worst to least worst) 1. Bradbury 2. Brandel 3. Risner.
That made me chuckle...has been my comment in-house for most of the season...I'm a Brit with limited technical knowledge of the sport but I can predict about 90% of his calls as if I can see his screen ;)
Do you honestly think that was a forward pass? Do you honestly think it was intended for anyone when his head if facing the turf at the time he 'throws' it? As far as your 10 penalties, which ones weren't legit and why?
I see you just talk like a broad with no facts. The Vikings had one of the hardest schedules. You know it’s not hard to look up stuff. And their still better than your team
Easy schedule? We played 5 games against 3 teams that all went to the post season. Our division had three teams out of 4 go to the post season. Compared to the Rams who have 4 divisional games against 2 teams that didn't even break .500
Darnold is Goff when he was traded to the Lions. But being in the same system for years, a system that keeps adding pieces to it and getting better. We need to do the same, but better
QBs with McCarthy's potential do not come around every year, and opportunities to trade up for a Q with a ton of potential are even rarer. So Kwesi A-M would never have traded McCarthy & KOC wouldn't have let him anyway. lol. Tbh, I doubt they would have traded McCarthy, even if Darnold had led the Vikes to a Super Bowl win!
I had that feeling of, here we go again, when Bullard jumped offside on 4th and 1 on the Rams first possession. We’re the oldest team in the NFL and our GM can’t draft. To his credit, seems to do well with free agency and cap management. Put someone else in charge of drafting, get the most from Darnold with a tag and trade, and hire an offensive coordinator. Go Vikes!
8 of the 9 sacks against 4 man rush. That means two extra defenders spying the QB. My raw emotion pointed at Darnold but it should be pointed at KOC and Kwesi. Analysis’ were calling it all week we needed our WR to run shorter routes. No change. Last season Cousins was under constant pressure. The interior line wasn’t addressed. You need to have a lead for our defensive play calling to be aggressive. Darnolds 24 pressures are inflated since we needed to throw the entire game. Roll with JJ next year but have lower expectations since the league got the memo how to beat us unless we address the trenches on both sides of the ball.
Why would anyone make fun of him, he is just showing how much he cares about the team and that he is a human being, if you don't play with emotion then you ain't playing football 🤔
as Rogers leaves to the cave to smoke crack Cracked me up. lol thanks man I needed that because I was at the game last night and it was great. Lotta Purple. wish we won tho
Absolutely going to go down as the worst call all year and this should be investigated as as a Ref payoff!!! And what about the face mask on Darnold right there in the open? Aiken even went back over it later on in the game. He did a overview of the missed penalties.
Honestly, Darnold reverted to the mean. These last two games were exactly what he was the first 5 years he was a starter. Disrupt the timing slightly and he’s done. Maybe the first 16 games were the anomaly for Darnold and more of a result of play calling/playmakers and not him being “that dude”. But the positive is we won’t get roped in to another Cousins type situation and it’s JJ’s time.
The OLine and Darnold worked against each other the last couple games. Fire the Oline coach, invest in STUDS in the trenches, and maybe even look into getting a new play caller. Either new play caller, or KOC needs to develop a quick pass game because this line doesn’t hold well for long forming passing plays
Sacked “9” times…2x back to back Lost by “9”….no other game this season was won or lost by just “9”….well Vikings fans seriously what else don’t you realize when you have #9 JJMcCarthy, 〽️man🔥
Lions fans were never like this! Half of my family is Lions fans and I’ve been to many Lions games and never ever see a rude fan! Most likely the new fans or they just can’t handle winning!
Dude there are rude fans in every fanbase. People just used to lions fans being silent because they were so awful. Now they good and lions fans are proud of that…it’s an issue
I was expecting to see this version of Sam Darnold showing up at some point, maybe in the NFC Title Game but I'm glad he showed up much sooner. Now, the whole discussion of resigning him is over with. We now know that JJ McC is our QB next season and beyond. Also, I put down some jelly beans when I was Vegas last April for the Rams to make the Super Bowl. So, I'm cheering for them. 😂
Do you honestly still think KOC should be Coach of the Year?
It's a regular season award. Yes.
Pin of shame haha
F no. What a joke.

The sack is a thing of the past. Just turn your back on the receivers and flip the ball. Incomplete pass.
That was nuts, what a joke.

The reversal of Stafford’s fumble, would’ve only give the Vikings some short term hope. The oline and Darnold’s play guaranteed a loss.

He's got his Michigan gear on!! I am already getting the vibe of this video 15 seconds in. GO BLUE!!
Reinforce the offensive line!!!!!!!
The offensive line is the problem. You can't win if you don't run the ball well and can block the rush up the middle.

to get rid of the ball. Clearly, the Rams knew how long Darnold holds the ball and adjusted their defense accordingly

@@JF94-k4o lol O'Neill has had no help. No chipping TE or RB...nothing most of the time...and he's still one of the best RTs in the league. When Darrisaw returns, he & O'Neill will be one of the best OT duos in the NFL. It's ALL about the weak & porous *Interior* Offensive Line, in the following order (from worst to least worst) 1. Bradbury 2. Brandel 3. Risner.
Sammy was missing reads and holding the ball like it was his girlfriend.
I’m calling it now, the Rams win. I think the league is “pushing” for that.
Why does KOC call plays like he's 10 playing Madden though.. 😭😢😓😫😩🤢🤮
I know, right
That made me chuckle...has been my comment in-house for most of the season...I'm a Brit with limited technical knowledge of the sport but I can predict about 90% of his calls as if I can see his screen ;)
I thought the same thing.
Facts
😅
Vikings didn’t get “the whistle” yet the rams got 10 penalties compared to your 2….. ssuuurreeee
Do you honestly think that was a forward pass? Do you honestly think it was intended for anyone when his head if facing the turf at the time he 'throws' it?
As far as your 10 penalties, which ones weren't legit and why?
Easy schedule and quickly folded in the bright lights. Honolulu flu strikes again.
They folded in the bright lights, yes. But they did not have an easy schedule.
I see you just talk like a broad with no facts. The Vikings had one of the hardest schedules. You know it’s not hard to look up stuff. And their still better than your team
Easy schedule? We played 5 games against 3 teams that all went to the post season. Our division had three teams out of 4 go to the post season. Compared to the Rams who have 4 divisional games against 2 teams that didn't even break .500
Heartbreaking..
Darnold is Goff when he was traded to the Lions. But being in the same system for years, a system that keeps adding pieces to it and getting better. We need to do the same, but better
hahahahahah sit with us vikings yah stop talking now scored less than us💚💚💛💛😂😂
Lmfao I came here to say the exact same thing, he was in here tryna clown made a whole video too 😂😂lol
After seeing the way Sam Donald performed the last 2 weeks, the VIKINGS would have to be crazy to trade J.J. McCarthy.
QBs with McCarthy's potential do not come around every year, and opportunities to trade up for a Q with a ton of potential are even rarer. So Kwesi A-M would never have traded McCarthy & KOC wouldn't have let him anyway. lol. Tbh, I doubt they would have traded McCarthy, even if Darnold had led the Vikes to a Super Bowl win!
1st round exit😂
Thanks Sam Darnold.
Bynum has been awesome all season.
I had that feeling of, here we go again, when Bullard jumped offside on 4th and 1 on the Rams first possession. We’re the oldest team in the NFL and our GM can’t draft. To his credit, seems to do well with free agency and cap management. Put someone else in charge of drafting, get the most from Darnold with a tag and trade, and hire an offensive coordinator. Go Vikes!
8 of the 9 sacks against 4 man rush. That means two extra defenders spying the QB. My raw emotion pointed at Darnold but it should be pointed at KOC and Kwesi. Analysis’ were calling it all week we needed our WR to run shorter routes. No change. Last season Cousins was under constant pressure. The interior line wasn’t addressed. You need to have a lead for our defensive play calling to be aggressive. Darnolds 24 pressures are inflated since we needed to throw the entire game. Roll with JJ next year but have lower expectations since the league got the memo how to beat us unless we address the trenches on both sides of the ball.
It looked like they gave up with 9 minutes left on the clock.
The Vikings only scoring 9 points at the end was KOC putting up the bat signal for JJ McCarthy to come save us next year
Why would anyone make fun of him, he is just showing how much he cares about the team and that he is a human being, if you don't play with emotion then you ain't playing football 🤔
as Rogers leaves to the cave to smoke crack Cracked me up. lol thanks man I needed that because I was at the game last night and it was great. Lotta Purple. wish we won tho
stopp talking about our team
I can't wait to see Purple Jedi JJ McCarthy next year. He'll play fast, accurate & be 100% clutch.
Dont feel bad. My eagles aren't going to the superbowl either
I agree especially after that game with the packers.
Absolutely going to go down as the worst call all year and this should be investigated as as a Ref payoff!!! And what about the face mask on Darnold right there in the open? Aiken even went back over it later on in the game. He did a overview of the missed penalties.
Honestly, Darnold reverted to the mean. These last two games were exactly what he was the first 5 years he was a starter. Disrupt the timing slightly and he’s done. Maybe the first 16 games were the anomaly for Darnold and more of a result of play calling/playmakers and not him being “that dude”. But the positive is we won’t get roped in to another Cousins type situation and it’s JJ’s time.
It's weird how we only lost twice!!! Two the same to teams and in the same sequence.
21 drives between TDs
The OLine and Darnold worked against each other the last couple games. Fire the Oline coach, invest in STUDS in the trenches, and maybe even look into getting a new play caller. Either new play caller, or KOC needs to develop a quick pass game because this line doesn’t hold well for long forming passing plays
Sacked “9” times…2x back to back Lost by “9”….no other game this season was won or lost by just “9”….well Vikings fans seriously what else don’t you realize when you have #9 JJMcCarthy, 〽️man🔥
Lions fans were never like this! Half of my family is Lions fans and I’ve been to many Lions games and never ever see a rude fan! Most likely the new fans or they just can’t handle winning!
Dude there are rude fans in every fanbase. People just used to lions fans being silent because they were so awful. Now they good and lions fans are proud of that…it’s an issue
They always looked like they were struggling. The hardly ever took over & dominated a game.
The Vikings collapse at season's end almost matches the Twins' season ending collapse.
I was expecting to see this version of Sam Darnold showing up at some point, maybe in the NFC Title Game but I'm glad he showed up much sooner. Now, the whole discussion of resigning him is over with. We now know that JJ McC is our QB next season and beyond. Also, I put down some jelly beans when I was Vegas last April for the Rams to make the Super Bowl. So, I'm cheering for them. 😂
