A Vikings Fan Reacts to the Patriots and Seahawks Making the Super Bowl

1. What was up with Burkhardt going on about how the Vikings “got rid of” Darnold???

2. Let this guy go for a guys who’s job is throw the ball but has bad throwing mechanics. Heads should roll for this

3. not totally opposed of firing Kwesi and KOC today and just rolling with Flores as the HC with a GM that actually has an idea what hes doing.

4. Happy that Sam has his shot. I share your opinion, Andy. I doubt Sam would have had the same outcome as a Viking this year. Brad Johnson is another example of "letting him go" to a team that won him a super bowl while Cunningham faded away. Plenty of other examples in NFL history: Plunkett, Williams, etc… Sam's success this year, in my opinion, says more about Seattle's team and coaching staff than it does exclusively Sam. It's chemistry and Sam has found his fit this year with Seattle.

5. Bottom line We Need AReliable And Consistent QB💯💪

6. A lot of us wanted to get rid of Darnold. That doesn’t matter. His performance tonight would arguably be the greatest post-season performance by a qb in Vikings history. KOC and KAM can’t recover from this. They need to be sent packing.

7. Just admit you were wrong about handing the keys to JJ McCarthy. Anyone and their mom predicted he was trash and will continue to be trash moving forward. On top of that, I still wouldn't have signed Darnold for $100m.

8. Our qbs our in the superbowl 🥲

9. All of KOC’s post game speeches praising Darnold were a bunch of crap. As HC he should have, and could have kept Darnold. Instead he went all in on a QB that never ran a pro style offense in college. Well, let’s see who we bring in to contend with McCarthy next year.

10. I wish I’d lobbied last year to keep Darnold….oh, wait…I did!

11. Sam Darnold to the Vikings: It’s not me it’s you!

12. I am proud of Darnold, i hope he wins it all. I've been a Vikings fan for 17 years and i always wanted him to stay.

13. You kept repeating "highest drafted QB in franchise history" like it meant something. As if that alone was worth gambling letting Sam walk for a qb we all knew was a project.

14. Sam Darnold was amazing!!! Great game and not the Viking leadership looks complete buffoons. Not only that, the whole team is probably happy for Darnold and the undertone for the entire team will be we should have went with Sam. As far as JJ is concerned, he will put himself under pressure knowing that we kept him over a QB who just want to the Super Bowl ands will most likely win. This whole this is one big screw up smh.

15. I don't think the Vikings would be in the SB if they kept Darnold but they for sure make the playoffs. Happy for him and sucks that it didn't work out this year for us. I know if we signed Darnold we wouldn't have been able to sign Kelly and Fries but it's not like our O-line was good this year anyway. But it is what it is, I hope JJ turns out to be that guy.

16. Now he wants to play good in the playoffs im convinced the nfl rigged Vikings probably never gonna win one not a big enough market

17. It appears that MENSA needs tighten up membership restrictions.

18. RIP wrong audio

19. I been saying we should've kept Sam Darnold. The fact he BALLED out in our system was because we ain't the friggin Jets. Sam actually got to show his talent and worth. I been saying it was KOC scheme that was waaaay off for these QB's. Now look. Sammie D in the superbowl. Not only did he get to crush us in the NORMAL season. Now he got to the SB which once again is a shot at KOC and vikings org. I hope Sam wins it, he deserves it.

20. Worst roster move since the Herschel Walker trade.

21. KOC has one last season then it’s Flores as HC time

    KOC has to win a playoff game otherwise he’s gone

22. Dude what you talking about? Darnold plays and beats Pitt and maybe the eagles too , those were close games. And win against chi town later in the season also.
    Good luck Darnold and Bradbury has played well.

23. Darnold went from getting dominated by the Rams to out dueling Stafford in the NFC championship in a year

24. Hindsight is 20/20. Doesn't mean there wasn't really solid rationale to move on from darnold at the time.

25. Sam gave us 14 wins. 14!!! 🤦🏾‍♂️ and we got rid of him. They wasting Jefferson prime.

26. SUCK IT DEEP AND HARD ANDY! SKOL DARNOLD!!!!!!!

27. Opinions are like belly buttons. Everyone has one

28. Minnesota Vikings have been disappointing me for at least two decades and I am done! We are the worst franchise in NFL history and it’s not even close!

29. It’s hard for me to put Diggs in that conversation. He wanted out of Minnesota and he’s been toxic everyplace he’s played. He’s a talented receiver but he is such a diva. Just one more reason I hope the Seahawks win the Super Bowl

30. Minnesota. 😂😂😂😂. Let’s Darnold and Jones walk. But at least you passed on Nix to draft McCarthy. 😅. It seems fitting that the only decent team that city has is WNBA.

31. Happy to see Darnold having a success because he went through hell in the first few seasons of his career. There's hope for our boy JJ McC. One player on the Rams should get the blamed for this lost, that punt returner who muffed the punt! That's the difference on this game. The Rams' special team once again messed up and cost them a game.

32. Let's face it. Sam deserves this win. Vikings was never going to go to the Superbowl with Sam. Sam went to the right team at the right time. I hope he wins the whole thing.

33. I wanted the hawks to win just so we look like idiots, lol.

    Plus he’s a solid dude, really happy for him.

    Oh yeah the Broncos (Nix) almost made it to the SB too. 😬

34. FIRE KAM. I would of spent $300millon on SAM VS ALL THE SHITTY PLAYERS WE GOT IN FA

35. This is the Vikings equivalent of the Twins letting David Ortiz go.

36. The Vikings had to get rid of Sam or else they would have won the Superbowl.

37. We have more of a complete team then the Vikings had plus there are certain cursed teams vikes being one of them I figured you guys would win in 98 with Cunningham and moss and I guarantee you would’ve beaten the broncos but like I said cursed no miss kicks all yr and you miss that one

38. I wonder what would of happened if we kept Sam. Superbowl 60- Vikings vs New England

39. If Sam Darnold wins the Super Bowl things could get very, very interesting in the offseason for the Vikings franchise.

40. Pittsburgh-based lifelong Vikings fan here. Darnold with a huge U-turn from last week. He was terrible against the 49ers. But young quarterbacks these days get their confidence shaken so quickly and badly. Respect the organization boys, Kevin O'Connell, aka the quarterback whisperer, turned Kirk Cousins from mediocre to career-changing stats. He gave Darnold a chance after getting mowed with the Jets (come on, it's the Jets). We can be classy fans here, simultaneously being happy for Darnold finding his groove and having faith in Joe Burrow…I mean inJJury McCarthy.

    You know what, as long as we don't resign Carson Wentz I'm happy. But the QB position is literally the missing key for us and we need to play this off-season carefully. Let this season steep, next season we're going to make a run for it! Bet!

41. How tf can u blah blah blah the Seahawks? They played great and so did Sam. I'm happy for the dude he deserves it. We ran him out of town and now we pay the ultimate price. Pretty damn disrespectful to blah it

42. seahawks has better coaching, if darnold was with us we'd lose in the divsional if we even win a wildcard

43. I absolutely 💯 agree with you, Andy, on the Dronald take. I still believe in the 23 year old talented QB

44. Sam go get a ring

45. Gave up on SD too soon. a quiet leader. smh

46. Vikings fans are going to win the SB vicariously through Seahawks

47. Would you be interested in trading justin Jefferson to seattle?
    We'll give you Woolen!!
