Minnesota Vikings News Today: Total EMBARRASSMENT vs Chargers

There are a few things that are guaranteed in life. Depth, taxes, and getting our asses kicked at Sofi on a Thursday night. We’ll talk about it on the up. [Music] I don’t know who I am. Powered by Riverside FM. The Minnesota Vikings lose to the Chargers 37-10. And I’m telling you right now in this video, the gloves are coming off, man. The gloves are coming off. The Chargers game was the biggest debacle, embarrassment, disaster, whatever word you want to use. And I’m just telling you guys to get prepared for the KOC word salad press conference, postgame press conference. I guarantee you he’s going to talk about all three phases. Well, all three phases sucked tonight. It sucked. That’s what all three phases did tonight. the Minnesota Vikings by their choice, by their choosing to put an injured Carson Wentz and when Carson Wentz is fully healthy, like what is he going to give you for four quarters? What have you seen in the last few weeks that he’s going to give you in four quarters if he’s 100% healthy? But you know he’s got a rib issue. you know, he has a shoulder issue and so you chose to put a compromised Carson Wentz out there against the Chargers defense and we all see the results of that. But I know why you put Carson Wentz out there. You thought KOC that you could just let that slip by and not have people understand why you put a Carson Wentz out there and why you kept Carson Wentz out there. Ah, you you can’t get that past me on the up. You can’t get it past me. And I’m going to tell you why he kept Carson Wentz out there and decided to start Carson Wentz. But I’m not going to start there. I’m going to start tonight with the play call because it’s very easy. And there are a lot of KOC protectors. And I am a fan of KOC. Let me clarify and let me be clear, man. I’m not one of these fans that feels like every time a quarterback or a coach goes through a rough patch that you should automatically get rid of them. Fire them, trade the player, all that good stuff. Like I think you need a large body of work before you make those type of decisions. So I’m just going to clarify. I’m not on board with Kevin O’Connell not being the head coach of this team. He’s won too many games. He’s improved the franchise too much for this rough patch to be the endgame for Kevin Okonnell. I mean, are you kidding me? So, I’m not going to go there. But, as I said in previous videos, man, I’m going to hold him accountable like he did it again tonight. Shortyard situations where you need a first down. Did you see what the Chargers did in short yardage situations? Play action. run the ball down your throat, commit and be confident in your offensive line and pick up these short yardage situations. What do we do? No, KOC again has to prove that he is innovative and that he is smart. So what does he do? He goes to his bag of trick plays and he puts Justin Jefferson in the backfield to run some sort of trick play for Justin Jefferson instead of lining up man-to-man mono mono and have the running back and that revamped offensive line. And I know we’re missing some pieces tonight, man, but pick up a yard. Pick up a yard. And they decided not to go that route. They had to get a little bit too cute. They had to little get a little bit too fancy. I believe this was the first or second drive of the game. It just killed me again. Short yardage situations. Got to be we’ve got to be saucy instead of a football team. Instead of running that thing down the throats of the Chargers for short yards, one yard. He didn’t learn at all from last week. Didn’t learn at all from last week. So, this is what I’m saying. This is what you’re going to see from KOC. stubborn. He’s stubborn. And there have been people all week long that have been defending him in the national media talking about how smart KOC is. And people have to be believing in KOC. And people that have problems with KOC and his play calling. They don’t know what they’re talking about. Let me tell you this. I don’t have to be an exNFL player. I don’t have to be an NFL player or coach. I just give things the eye test. And I think Kevin O’Connell, as good of a coach, as as well-rounded of a coach that he is, is one of the worst situational play callers in the whole NFL. He doesn’t have a feel for situations. He doesn’t have a feel for his guys. I don’t understand how anybody can defend that. Like all week long I’ve been seeing plays on the All 22 or on these national platforms where people are talking about there are guys open, Carson Wentz just needs to see him. Okay, Carson W just needs to see him. But in certain situations, there are times, here’s what I know, coaching has to take over. Coaching has to take over. If you have a quarterback that is missing key plays and if you feel like he can make those throws and he’s not seeing things and you have a decision to make, you keep going back to the well and the well is dry. Or you can make things so deliberate in your play designs, in your schemes that you tell Carson Wentz where where he needs to go with the ball. Didn’t you do that with the past? Remember when the past didn’t know the playbook? didn’t know the plays. What did you tell the passronaut the first time he got in the game? This is what you’re going to see. This is the route that the wide receivers is going to run. Here’s where you need to go with the football. Isn’t that what KOC did? We saw film after film after film of that interaction with the past. You can’t do the same thing with a veteran like Carson Wentz. You’re just going to let him go out there fly by night and make dumb decisions and not see things that he’s supposed to see. And you’re going to keep him out there. you’re going to keep him out there and keep going to the well that you know is dry. That’s my biggest problem with KOC. And then it’s it’s those little game time crucial situations that again when you don’t need to put any seasoning on something, you put seasoning on it anyway. And you’re putting Justin Jefferson Jets in the back field on a second or third and one, whatever it was. Pick up the first down. You’re showing your hand. Do you really think you’re you’re fooling the defense by putting Justin Jefferson in the back field? The only thing that you’re telling the defense, if I’m the defensive coordinator, is that they’re not going to run the ball up the gut with Justin Jefferson in the back field. So, you’re already showing your cards. KC, I said it last week. Does anybody have a problem with Justin Jefferson not scoring touchdowns? See, this is going to be another one of those Minnesota stars. And we’ve seen it with Kevin Garnett. We’ve seen it with Stefon Marberry. We’ve seen it with Randy Moss. This is going to be another one of these stars that’s in our community, in our backyard that eventually, I don’t care how good of a guy Justin Jefferson is. And Jets is a great guy. Jets right now is towing the line. Jets right now is a great teammate. Great teammate, but you can only push a person so far. I’m telling you right now, if the m the Minnesota Vikings, and people won’t see this thing coming, man, because when I believe that if you are a nice dude, if you are a nice guy, if you are a glue guy, a culture guy in the locker room, I think organizations take guys like that for granted. They feel like they can get them to take salary cuts to be able to sign some other people. See, these are the guys that you go to to get stuff like that done cuz Jets is a good guy. Jets will say yes. Let’s remember the commercial. Let’s get Mikey. He’ll eat it. He’ll eat anything. Hey Mikey, he likes it. You remember those commercials? When people get an understanding of who you are, they take advantage of you. And this is what people think about Jets. If you think Jets is going to stay with the purple for his career and it’s going to be a revolving door of quarterbacks and we’re going to have these type of games where it’s the same formula every game, Justin Jefferson is a human being, man. Justin Jefferson is going to get tired of that. He is already sacrificing a season of his legacy. How long do you think he’s going to do that, man? He’s got one touchdown all year after seven games. Justin Jefferson Jets. How long and how patient do you expect for him to be? You got a guy in Jordan Addison and I’m not saying it’s purposeful. Sometimes this is the way things work out. But we’re dealing with human beings here, man. Jordan Addison since he’s come back off of his suspension and and since he’s come back off of being suspended for a quarter for for missing the the the walkth through or whatever it was to practice, man, he’s been he’s been great in the offense. How does that work? How does that work out? And I’m not hating on Jordan. I like to see him produce. It’s only going to help the Minnesota Vikings win. But again, man, we’re dealing with human beings. He’s being targeted there. He’s he’s running great routes. He’s getting opportunity to score touchdowns. I mean, he is outperforming. Like, if you didn’t know the names on the back of the jersey, you would think Jordan Addison is a better wide receiver than Jets just because the schemes and everything are so bad and so terrible and it the the situational football is absolutely ridiculous. Do you you remember Jordan Mason? Who’s been the bell cow for the past couple of weeks? It’s been Jordan Mason. All of a sudden, Aaron Jones is back. Aaron Jones is back and all of a sudden Jordan Mason disappears. Four carries tonight. I mean, you can’t make this up. You can’t make it up. That is situational football and that is scheme and that is game plan. It is a travesty that Jordan Mason only got four carries tonight. Does anybody have any problem with that? Is anybody going to see that? The protectors of KOC on these national platforms. Is anybody going to bring that to the table? Jordan Mason, four carries. I go back to the third and one on the first first drive of the game. You put Justin Jefferson. You put everybody in the back field except for Jordan Mason tonight. Third and one. Again, you’ve got the tank and Jordan Mason. You choose to run a trick play or a trick set with Justin Jefferson in the back field instead of lining it up and running Jordan Mason for a yard when he’s proven that he was able to do that. Has anybody seen seen Adam Thielen? I mean, we did trade for Adam Thelen, but we don’t know how to use Adam Thelen. Adam Thelen has been regulated to as a a special teams guy. Like, he’s not getting any major reps. And again, this is about scheme. You can’t find a way to use a 35 year old bet. And I know he dropped the ball tonight, man, but late in the game, X Bromer, man. put Adam Thielen in to give him some rhythm and help move the offense like they’re not even the last two games. He has been I mean you need to put a APB out for Adam Thielen and if his wife was upset the first time he was with the Vikings you know she’s upset tonight and last week I mean my goodness gracious TJ Hawinson what is happening what is happening with TJ Hawinson and being involved in his we’re talking about weapons you could throw Naylor in there too if the argument is well Naylor is playing better than the so Now the becomes wide receiver four. Where’s Naylor for God’s sakes? See, man, this is this is getting nasty now. This is a bunch of nasty work out there. It’s a bunch of nasty work out there because this is more than injuries. It’s more than injuries. This is about this is about scheme. Like, we always throw the culture stuff up in everybody’s face when we talk about the Minnesota Vikings and we talk about KOC. There’s always that culture thing. Well, what I saw tonight, culture really didn’t hold up, and nobody’s going to talk about it, but I saw a whole lot of bad body language. I saw a whole lot of people giving up on plays once they get down. Where was culture then? I saw a lot of coaches, a lot of coaches, especially our quarterback coach. There were several shots of him laughing, smiling when you’re getting your asses kicked. What is there to laugh and smile about on the sideline? Like I don’t think ever in my career if I’ve ever been down by a lot of points, man, I don’t I don’t think there’s ever a situation during the heat of the battle, I’m not saying you got to carry that crap home with you and stew in it for 48 hours, but there’s never a time where I’m getting my butt kicked when I’m at war and I’m getting my butt kicked that I have anything to laugh and smile about on the sidelines as a player and especially as a coach. Like, you got to get it together. You got to get it together, man. This was utterly utterly Now people think when you have these professional organizations that everything is about business and everything is about winning. And I know there’s been a lot of people out there that have been talking about, man, we should start Max Brosmer for this game. I saw it. I saw it in a lot of national pundits out there that cover the Minnesota Vikings. Maybe they should go Max Bros because Carson Wentz was hurt. I saw a lot of it locally. I saw a lot of it from content creators. Listen, man. And I know now JJ is miraculously probably going to be healthy for next Sunday’s game versus the Detroit Lions. But let me let you in on a little secret. Max Bromer would was never never going to get a shot to start for the Minnesota Vikings. And I will say this, and I know of course JJ McCarthy is coming back, but even if JJ McCarthy was not coming back, here’s what I’m going to let you in on. For those of you that have been pounding the table and pandering for Max Brosmer, Max Brosmer will never ever get a shot, barring injury, barring injury, to be the starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings until they are done evaluating JJ McCarthy. Do you actually think they were going to give a kid with that potential, with that mobility, you saw it at the end of the game, and I know a lot of people are going to say, “Ah, that was garbage time. They were in prevent defense.” What I would argue is go back and watch just the series that he got. The ball left his hands a little bit differently instantly. The offense was a little bit more crisp and the limited throws that he got. But do you actually think that Kevin Oonnell is going to put a kid that has potential like that in a situation where he gets four quarters, where he gets three quarters, where he gets a half a football because, you know, potentially he’s got that whip. He’s got that whip and he is the type of player that can make something happen. I mean, the records that he set with the Minnesota Golden Gophers, if he comes in and the optics are this young quarterback can really move this thing and make things happen, do you know what a quandry that creates for KOC Quacy and the organization with JJ McCarthy? See, this is a little bit different than Carson Wentz. Pretty much everybody knew who Carson Wentz was and is. He’s a veteran quarterback. I wouldn’t say that he’s washed up, but he’s on the tail end of his career. Bromer is a little bit different. He is a undrafted rookie. Young, lots of career ahead of him. The Minnesota Viking fans and community, they’re hungry for a shiny new toy. You’ve got the optics of JJ McCarthy’s first two games. First two games. I know people don’t like this, but it’s true. Seven quarters were ugly. One quarter was good. And I know people throw a lot of crutches out there for JJ. I don’t need to do that cuz I believe in JJ. But they always thought that, well, Christian Darasaw didn’t Christian Darasaw didn’t play tonight. So you’re going to give that weight to Carson Wentz? No. Brian O’Neal didn’t play tonight. You’re going to give that crutch to Carson Wentz? Hell no. You’re not going to give that crutch to Carson Wentz. So you shouldn’t give it to JJ McCarthy. Like you got to go out there and ball. But if you were on the bandwagon of bringing Brosmer into this game early or having him start, there was no way in hell that the Minnesota Vikings were ever going to take a chance. Again, I’ve called JJ McCarthy the bubble boy. He’s the boy in the bubble and they are going to protect him at all costs until they get a feeling for who he really is. When they are done evaluating JJ McCarthy, then the Minnesota Vikings will start to entertain other options. But right now, I’m just keeping it real. The evaluation process is still on the table. They’ve invested too much in JJ McCarthy. JJ McCarthy and Kevin O’Connell is attached at the hip. So, they want to control the optics. They want to control the narrative. UP Nation, I’m just being real with you. Purple Gang, Skull Nation. I’m just keeping it real. See, people think these type of shenanigans don’t go on in these highlevel professional organizations. Man, KOC is trying to feed his family. This is his first head coaching job. He’s going to do whatever he needs to do to protect that job and be here for a long time. He doesn’t want this to be a failure. So, he knows that he is attached to JJ. So, they are going to protect JJ at all costs. It is why they don’t play him in the preseason games. It is why he is going to have to be 100% to make sure that he is ready to go. They want to give him every opportunity to look good and don’t want to take a chance of it not looking so good. And see, this is what surprised KOC after the first two games because it didn’t look great. And I think that shocked his system. So now the next time JJ gets out there, they are going to make sure that physically he is ready to go. They’re going to buy themselves some time so he can watch and relearn the process without benching him. I don’t believe in this soft benching. I believe he is benefiting from being injured. KC is benefiting from being injured. It just buys them a little bit more time. So, if you actually think they’re going to bring a kid out there like Brazmer that can sling that thing a little bit, have a possibility of making plays, can you imagine if Max came out there and threw for like 250 yards or 300 yards a couple of TDs, got the ball to Justin Jefferson, the offense looked better, didn’t have the boneheaded plays that Carson Wentz makes five or six times a game. Do you know what the topic would be all of next week leading into the Sunday game? Who should be the starter, Bromer or JJ McCarthy? And if any reporter in the room wants to have a conversation about it, what does KOC do? He’s going to bite their face off like he did Jud Zogat because he is sensitive and he’s trying to protect JJ McCarthy. I am the biggest Brian Flores fan in the world. This was the worst exhibition of defensive football under the leadership of Brian Flores that I’ve ever seen. And I know it’s a double-edged sword. You’re damned if you do, you’re damned if you don’t. If you don’t put pressure on the Chargers quarterback, he’s going to eat you alive. Like, he’s going to eat you alive. So, you have to send a lot of people at him. and our secondary just was not good enough to hold up tonight and the Chargers did not punt the ball once. So, your players have to show up. Honestly, if if I’m in the film room and I’ll put this out there to UP Nation, like what do you do as defensive coordinator? I know we’re not getting paid millions of dollars, but what do you do at defensive coordinator to stop Herbert? What do you do? Do you lag off? You play zone? Do you just rush with four? Do you bring a blitz? I saw a combination of everything tonight. See, the thing is the defense is Blo’s responsibility. So again, this was the worst exhibition that I have ever seen under his coaching. And the one thing that I’m going to critique him about and hold him accountable for, man, the body language on the defense was absolutely terrible, especially when they got down. See, that’s the one thing you can control. Execution is one thing, man, but your body language can’t be bad, and you’ve got to be engaged. And I saw a lot of bad body language out there. And that’s under the leadership of Brian Flores. If you got people that get down on themselves early and can’t stay engaged, you got to get them out of the game. The one person, well, two people showed up tonight in my opinion was Grenard and and freaking Redmond, man. Jaylen Redmond and Jonathan Grard. I’m telling you right now, those dudes brought it. Everybody else you could put a out of. like they played ball, but I didn’t like I didn’t like the body language from the defense. I saw a lot of people giving up plays, man. Just giving up giving up on plays, not running through things, not pursuing until the end of the play. Like I just I saw a lot of that. And so I think right now the concerning thing is and I said the gloves have got to come off. The concerning thing is the level of play now in these type of games and just the scheme of the team. This team has no identity really on either side of the ball, but especially on the offensive side. No identity. It is inexcusable that Jordan Mason didn’t have more than four carries tonight. Like there it it seems when we watch other teams. UP Nation, you guys that are listening probably don’t just watch the Vikings. Like you guys probably watch other NFL teams. Some really really good teams. Man, it just seems like they’re playing a different game. It looks like it sounds like the optics of it, everything that comes with it. It’s like they’re playing a different game than what we’re playing. Look at the Chargers offense tonight compared to our offense tonight. And you can blame it, the easy crutches, man. You can blame it on the injuries. You can blame it on Darasaw. You can blame it on O’Neal being out. You can blame it on Carson Wentz. You can blame it on Carson Wentz having a bad shoulder. You can blame it on JJ McCarthy being out. But once you sift through all that, man, once you sift through it all, it’s all about scheme. It’s just about scheme. Like I just never see us just be really deliberate in one area of offense. I feel like we’re just all over the freaking place. Like there are times where we need just to make a play and we start to go into our bag of tricks and try to be the most innovative offensive team on the planet. And we don’t need to do that. We just need to line up and we just need to play ball. We just need to get the first down. That’s all we need to do. The scheme and where this team is going is scary. It’s scary. And it doesn’t get any easier. And there is no guarantee the spin is going to be where we’ve got this many buy. And we’ve got to evaluate. We got to go back and watch the film. See, these are the word salads we’re going to get. We got to go back and watch the film. You know, we got to selfcout ourselves during this mini buy. Didn’t you just have a buy a week and a half ago where you had that opportunity? That wasn’t a mini buy. That was a buy and you had an opportunity to do all these things and now after the buy, you’re 0 and2, but that’s the way it’s going to be spun. Still making egregious penalties. What are we doing behind the scenes to discipline that? How many times are guys going to hold false start, jump off sides in crucial situations? My goodness, man. When when is when is that going to stop? I am shocked and surprised that we didn’t get a delay of game violation because we couldn’t couldn’t get the play in on time and we couldn’t get the balls snap. We haven’t had one of those in at least two games. Usually those things show up at least once a game. We haven’t figured that out. frustrating loss, but now I got a feeling that JJ McCarthy is going to miraculously be healthy for the game against the Detroit Lions and and UP Nation. Listen, man. Listen, I’m here to tell you that once JJ takes the helm again and again, I am all aboard all in on JJ McCarthy. I think the draft of him was not a mistake. I think he’s going to be our franchise quarterback. I really honestly believe that in my heart, but I do understand probably where he is as a quarterback and the amount of time it’s going to take, especially man under under KOC. Man, this I mean KOC with JJ McCarthy has to be more deliberate in calling plays when he gets back in there. You can’t have the same system with JJ McCarthy that you had with Sam Darnold and Carson Wentz. Those dudes have been in the league for way too long. Here’s where your smarts and your innovativeness and your quarterback whisperess and your genius has to come in when JJ McCarthy comes in next Sunday. Like that has to present itself. If you have to script the whole game, then script the whole damn game. But you got to put him in situations where he can succeed. That’s where the coaching comes in. If you put JJ out there with the same game plans and the same schemes that you had with Carson Wentz and Sam Darnold and the boys, Kirk Cousins, it’s going to end poorly. So for me, there is no guarantee that when JJ comes out there that it’s going to look any different. And I don’t think it’s going to have anything really to do with JJ McCarthy. I just think where he is in his development is where he’s going to be in his development until he gets some games under his belt because the young man has to play. But he also has to have a coach that’s in lock step with him that understands where he is as a quarterback and design a game plan that JJ McCarthy can execute. And they damn well have to run the ball more than nine times when you talk about Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason. And you got to give Jordan Mason the rock cuz he has proven that he can be that bail cow running back. But there’s no guarantee there’s no guarantee up Nation. There’s there’s no guarantee that reinforcements or the calvary is coming in because everything right now just looks kind of a mess and just looks kind of stupid. It just looks kind of stupid any even when it was apparent that Carson Wentz couldn’t go anymore. And credit to Carton Wentz, man. He’s a tough sob. He was getting his butt whooped tonight. He was in pain. They were knocking him all around. And as as much of kick gloves as we have with JJ McCarthy and an ankle sprain, the same level of concern and respect for Carson Wentz wasn’t applied. KOC was going to put Carson Wentz out there and let him get his ass kicked because he knows that there was a chance that if Max came in there, things would look a little bit better and things would look a little bit different. You think things like that don’t happen in a professional organization, man, it happens all the time, especially when you are a head coach that has a lot to lose and you are attached to a certain player on the team. What a buzzkill, man. I don’t see this thing getting better anytime soon. You’ve got the Lions coming up. You’ve got the Ravens coming up. You’ve got the Bears coming up. You’ve got the Green Bay Packers coming up. My oh my, oh my my oh my. Oh my. And my my level of concern with it is, man, I don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to game planning and scheming. Like, don’t you ever just want to see a game where KOC just says, “Man, we can exploit their defensive line. We’re just going to run heavy.” Like, just it just any sense of change or smarts or game planning. Like if you can exploit a defensive line, have you ever just seen KC said, “Okay, we going to run the ball 35 times to get the win. Our offense just seems to be all over the place, man. It looks different every game. There is no consistency in any one area. We’re just a fly by night offense. We’re just a fly by night offense. And we’re playing too many games at the quarterback position. We’re not necessarily giving ourselves the best chance to win. But the white knight is going to try to ride in next Sunday in JJ McCarthy because I’m telling you right now, there will be a quick decision. His ankle will be miraculously better when they have to make a call on Monday and Tuesday about who the quarterback is going to be. Watch. Watch how differently they handle next week when it comes to the quarterback position. Watch how they handle it. It’s going to be completely different than what they’ve done for the past couple of weeks, man. Frustrating game. Minnesota Vikings lose 37 to 10. Just had to get on here and and and keep it real, man. This is this is now this is bigger than injuries. Of course, we would like to have Van Ginko back. Of course, we would like to have O’Neal back and Darasaw and all of these guys. We would love to have a full complement of players, but you know what? That’s not the NFL. And so you got to coach around all of that stuff. And we’re failing with that as a coaching staff. And it’s not about the wins and losses. But even if you’re a layman and you’ve never coached the game of football, trust your eyes, man. Trust your eyes. You know what you’re seeing. They don’t want you to know that you know what you’re seeing. So, they’re going to throw a lot of verbiage at you. They’re going to make it seem like you have no idea what you’re talking about. But here’s the deal. I’ve never coached a football team, but I know that Jordan Mason has been producing at the running back spot for the past couple of weeks. You gave him four carries tonight. That is egregious. And then you bring the Crystal Chandelier back and Aaron Jones, who I feel like should have had a role tonight, but he had more carries than Jordan Mason, which is a travesty. That right there. And I could go through and name a hundred of different things, but that right there should give you a lens in on what I am talking about when it comes to this team. No game planning, no certain approach, no personality. How does Jordan Mason get only four carries tonight? Tonight, how does Jordan Mason last week, second and one, get no carries to get the first down to extend your drive and give you four more plays? How does Jordan Mason not get the rock on second and one, third and one tonight, whatever it was? How do you not give him the rock? How do you put Justin Jefferson in the backfield on those type of plays? See, I don’t have to be a former NFL coach or NFL player to understand common sense. The common sense play is to dance with the girl that you brought to the dance. and Jordan Mason getting four carries, man, tonight. It just it just spoke volumes, man. This is Please hit that like and subscribe button. This has been Unconventional Playbook. Sorry, UP Nation that you had to sit through that debacle tonight. 37-10, bro. 37-10. And it was one of the worst games that I’ve seen the Minnesota Vikings play in a long time. At one point in time, we had 93 yards of offense compared to the Chargers 20 and something. It just feels like we’re not playing the same game. And we have a guru as an offensive coordinator and a play caller. It’s unbelievable, man. It’s unbelievable. This is This is the UP and as always, UP Nation, we will see you when we ski you, man. [Music]

  1. This game was atrocious! This season is abysmal! I got up off the couch in the beginning of the third quarter and went into my home office to work on proposals. That's how insufferable this Thursday nighter was. I would rather do paperwork than lounge on the couch with a beer in my hand, and the game on. Thank goodness I get to watch the Blue Jays in the World Series tomorrow, and a heavyweight title fight in the UFC on Saturday, because I need some big time sports to erase this disaster from my memory.

    And the way Brian Flores defense has turned to butter, it makes it impossible to even have a glimmer of hope going into our next game against Detroit, no matter who is at QB.

  2. I think that was the worst game I’ve ever seen the Minnesota vikings play, the Chargers made a statement against us on purpose since we didn’t hire him in my opinion

  3. Fire KOC. I don't say that from emotions. I say that because he looked like a deer in head lights. There is no reason why Carson should have been kept in there. You can plainly see that he was injured. I just didn't understand. Oh yeah yard to go??? Let's pass again anyways.

  4. Coach I understand that you feel that KOC shouldn't be let go. First off I humbly disagree I think he's given us enough body of work. Not according to what the players have done over the years but over what he has done in the decisions he has chosen to make. You need the whole Brian Flores accountable like he did Ed Donatell. Like I said earlier he left Carson in there. Didn't we sign a QB from the Falcons earlier this year? Not sure. And people can say what they want about last year. He still was vanilla in his play calling and didn't help darnold out at all at the end of the year.

  5. Imo Koc has shown enough body of work for him to lose his play calling abilities at the very least. If i cant have a complete tear down of the franchise, Then lets get a new playcaller and OC. Cuz personally i wouldnt be bothered at all if i wake up tomorrow and kwesi, koc, flores, are all fired.
