Vikings Offseason Thread

[Aggies7]

Dallas sucks, my god, every year.

[wabene]

As a long time Viking fan and Midwesterner my disdain for Dallas outpaces my loathing of the Packers. Plus if GB wins they have to go on the road unlike Dallas, correct?

The pouty faces on the Dallas sideline early in the second are hilarious.

Liking my bet

No, I can’t take joy in Green Bay winning a playoff game. Not after I thought they were buried halfway through the season

Obviously the water in Green Bay is a quarterback elixir

It's just a factor of age. When I was young the Vikes' playoff rival was Dallas and Green Bay was quaint and pathetic. I just felt sorry for them

Zac!!!!!

Man, if the NFL is rigging things for Dallas, they’re doing an awful job

Dak with the gak

This is a curb stomping from GB. Death, taxes, and Dallas soiling their pants every January in the playoffs.

As a Vike fan I agree.  As a betting fan I played gb +7

If I were a bettin man I would have bet that with both hands

Obviously I have nothing to back this up, but I just feel like guys like Dak Prescott, Tony Romo, have that “it” factor except in reverse, they are always going to screw something up.

Regular season heroes. Just like Kirky. Doesn’t matter who the coach is, Dak will hold back the team he plays on.

4D chess move by McCarthy to kick a FG and chew up over 5:30 of clock to change a 3 score game into… A 3 score game. 

[Vanimal46]

Jerry Jones is probably texting Belichick right now to work out the details of him being HC. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

LOL this game 

[wabene]

This game is generating quite the algorithm in Kwesi's head

This weekend I'd been thinking that if Belichick goes to Atlanta or Washington, as has been suggested, I'd expect him to bring in Cousins (and take those places out of the rookie QB market) as he's not going to want to start over again with a rookie.

But yeah, he'll be in Dallas as soon as Jerry Jones finishes his half-assed attempt to meet the Rooney Rule.

On the other hand, Belichick might have no interest in working with Jones who demands 100% control.

A young Green Bay team goes to Dallas, and hangs seven touchdowns on the Cowboys.

Dallas would be the best gig available for an old timer like Belichick. Roster loaded with talent, and maybe he can be the one to get them to stop soiling themselves every playoff game. 

[Vanimal46]

If Dallas is smart (lol) they would trade Dak this offseason to a team that’s desperate to make the playoffs. Get a couple of 1st round picks and figure it out after that. 

[Danchat]

Wow. I predicted the Packers to win by 3 despite the line being Dallas -7, but I didn’t see an epic beatdown coming. Disgusting performance from Dallas. Please San Fran, end the Packers next week!

 

Crazy to see the Packers keep their Super Bowl window open despite retooling the roster, meanwhile the Vikings keep pretending like theirs is open when it’s not. Now the Lions and Packers are clearly better and the Bears are real close.

I know this is going to draw rebukes, but Dak and Kirk are so similar. They can make every throw, put up huge numbers and do everything that's asked of them. But they aren't able to do more than what's asked of them. I can't exactly put it into words, but there's something missing that keeps them from hanging with the elite QBs.

To be clear, I'm not laying this playoff loss on Dak any more than I would lay last year's playoff loss to the Giants on Kirk. They didn't lose those games for their teams, they just didn't win them for their teams.

That’s funny because a lot of packers fans wanted to move on from Love (and their coach) right around the time Kirk and company dominanted them in lambeau in week 8. But now they had it figured out all along 😂 Every one is so reactionary. Love has the hot hand and Dallas laid a giant egg like they always do.

Mike McCarthy should and will not be the Cowboys’ head coach tomorrow. That was a mortifying performance in all three phases.

Eagles are so bad and I love every second of it

Who is more popular in the Scranton Wilkes-Barre area? Steelers or Eagles?
