Bring back the “Heaves it up, OH NO” intro please
Why is AJ not making predictions for each week, even if Declan is working?
McCarthy should start and get Jefferson his 1000 yards then pull them both out.
Write THIS down! Flores will struggle for the first 2 years if he goes to a different team, whether that is at head coach or DC. I think his defensive scheme is too difficult and requires the correct pieces, with the correct comfortability with his system to make work, and he would have to start that knowledge base over with defensive players in any other system. There are lots of smart and talented defensive players all over the league, but what he asks of defenses is not something most players are likely able to step right into year 1.
First game I remember on t.v. was Vikings/Chiefs Super Bowl. An introduction to a lifetime of pain lol. First in person 1971 vs 49ers.. loss. Most recent in person, Dublin Ireland. Travel half way around the world to watch them lose. Sigh. Best in person? 1976 NFC Championship versus the Rams. Outdoors, cold, drinking from a thermos of coffee and schnaaps, cheering like crazy. Last trip to the SB.
Listener predictions
1 JJ Mccarthy is vikings week 1 starter.
2 Brian Flores is still coaching for the Vikings in the 26/27 season.
3 JJ McCarthy plays in 15+ games next season. – Off record with a playoff win!
You also said 2025 season so Brock Purdy will start 10 with the playoffs.
Vikings should explore trading K.O.C. , B-FLOW steps in as H.C. and the most important part is Firing 🔥 Kwazy and Grigson .
I was in Kindergarten when the Miami Dolphins beat the Vikings in the Super Bowl.
My dog hates these guys. Whenever she hears their voices she runs and hides and whines.
My first game was the Vikes Cleveland gane 1980 with the Ahmad Rashad hail mary catch
There's no such thing as a null and void prediction! It's not like a push in Vegas. That would be a horrible precedent. Boo! Hiss!
I was born in MSP in 54. I've been a Vikings fan since Day One! I watched all 4 SB games!
It's not fair that y'all get to make predictions and all on this weekends game and the listeners don't… Putting us at a disadvantage of being able to make touchdowns and taking back the touchdown lead… Speaking out for a friend
I think that's a Miss/Incorrect. Neither made the 10 game minimum
I'm pretty sure spirit of Declan was they couldn't have few good games then go on IR so should be incorrect prediction
I took Max last week. so far 39.6 for the year. only 3 wins though so far
Took way to long to get to the picks. WTF
If JJ starts it will be solely to get Jettas to 1,000 yards. Once he does, both will be pulled from the game.
The first Viking game I remember watching was the 1969 NFL Championship game against the Browns. I was 10 years old and LOVED the Viking horn on the helmet. That's all it took. The Vikes became my team. I live in KC and had season tickets to the Vikings and only missed one game from '93 through '98. Then shared them through 2004. I saw every home game in '98. Including my darkest day as a sports fan. The '98 NFCC loss against the Falcons. That was HORRIBLE!! Favorite Viking of all-time is Chuck Foreman. I was lucky enough to meet him twice over the years. I even had him sign my 44 jersey while I was wearing it. So awesome!!
I'm in on JJ all the way. ALL. THE. WAY. If the Vikings can remain patient, he's going to be a consistently top 10 QB in this league.
Judd.. I can’t believe u predicted both Sam & Caleb be benched in a game in 2025😂 Both carried their teams to top 2 or 3 seeds in NFC! Caleb Williams seems to be a generational QB that Chicago never ever seen before!!
Hey Mackey, open that whiskey!
What is with Declan? Why would the Vikings show any trick plays in a meaningless game? Save them for next year.
Okay, time to strike. Kwesi needs to call NE and ask if they want JA for a 1st round pick (and ?) before the playoffs. Not sure how Diggs’ legal trouble will affect his involvement (?) in the playoffs or the 2026 season. Timing might be right for a call to NE. No trade unless we get a 1st round pick, etc. Otherwise, keep JA and trade him next season after he builds up his trade equity.
The year is not over! JA could get arrested on NYE!
Ha, update: Judd just said basically this after I wrote my comment!
Declan’s take is wrong.
If JJ plays Sunday and he balls out, you MUST bring back, “Like a dawg in the street!” PLEASE!! It’s the best intro! Far better than the others!
I started watching the Vikings when I was seven or eight, which would be 1964 or 1965.
I was going to watch this week 18 meaningless game, then i decided to go on living my life.
do you not do mackey and judd write that down anymore this season?
Didn't like the Vikings till I was 12 mainly because we didn't have a TV in the 90s
I think Vikings need to make a huge decision. It’s either Flores or Koc. I don’t think Flores stays unless they give him a blank check or hire him as the head coach or assistant head coach and you know how much our owners love koc
I didnt realize Mackey and I are the same age! Also born in 1985. I was also a fan of Anthony Carter but not long after became obsessed with Cris Carter, and hes still my personal goat
The Atlanta loss at home was a killer in the NFC CHAMPIONSHIP game I most remember along with Super Bowls of course
If you go to ESPN QBR chart and filter by "at least 10 games started" you will not see McCarthy or Purdy. Therefore, prediction is incorrect.
