  1. Stephen A just talks over people when he knows they're right. No one is ok with darnold laying an egg but recognize that it wasn't just him. All 11 on offense plus the hc laid one also.

  2. Last night showed that the two most significant injuries to the NFL playoffs were for the two teams playing.

    If Hutchinson is healthy, nobody is stopping Detroit this year.
    If Darrisaw is healthy, that Vikings offense is impossible to defend.

    And Detroit overcame their major injury (plus many, many, many more) way better than Minnesota did.

  3. I am a life long Vikings fan… I warned my fellow minnesotan's not to get too hyped about the Vikings a month ago (and throughout the season) as they were winning games Many told me, "no, it feels different this time around, they look really good"! I reminded them about our history, and all the great teams and players we have had and in the end had nothing to show for it: 4 trips to the Super Bowl, and "0" wins! I stated, in the end they do not produce when it really matters! Interestingly enough, after the GB game, I started leaning towards what they were saying to me… perhaps this is a bit different, yes, just maybe!? But then I heard Darnold say… that this game against the Lios, "is just another game"… and right then, I knew we were doomed! In the aftermath of yesterday's meltdown game, I am reminded that I should have simply stayed in my 'lane of pessimism' and not dared have walked over to the 'green grass' of a new Vikings era of success!

  4. Did any of these guys watch the game i know Stephanie A Smith didn't because Jefferson wasn't open at all in the game he was held on every play. Darnald was off on his passes because Detroit held or interfered the Vikings receivers on every play and Goff had time to throw because the Vikings defenders were held every play! The lions didn't beat the Vikings the refs did. Watch the game Stephanie and you'll see!!!
