Yeah that’s where I stand too. There’s nothing he can say that will make this situation better. If worst case he had a mental breakdown, there are a dozen other choices he could have made without screwing over his teammates. He made an unforgivable selfish decision that goes against everything teamwork and competition stands for.
Yeah they made it legal this year. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone do it yet but for players that have 3 or more documented concussions they should be required to wear it

That really sucks to see him seize up again on National TV. If he does come back, they should probably mandate him wearing the guardian helmet. Assuming they’re actually effective in preventing concussions.

If calling it clinging to a 3 game lead makes you feel better go for it. You can’t describe it without including the word lead.
Your 2nd paragraph, yep. Pretty clear people have moved on after being cut off from TV access for multiple months this summer.
You’re not going to get any disagreement from me. My tinfoil hat theory is Joe Pohlad had the aspiration of spending more for a better team… He appears to be the lone living baseball fan in the Pohlad family. Then he got cut off by Jim and the board this year.
Let’s hope they come back. It’s our best chance to hang onto a wild card spot and win a playoff series. Without them, and Lewis/Castro/Miranda/Lee slumping, this is the expected outcome.
The 2019 playoff win against New Orleans stunted this organization in a number of ways. If we lose that game, maybe Kirk Cousins walks after his 3rd fully guaranteed years in 2020. Zimmer should have been fired after 2020 and that brutal defense.
Attendance of less than 15k in September when they are leading the wild card playoff race. Kinda says it all, no? Apathy is spreading far and wide for the Twins…
I’m not ready to boost up my Vikings wins yet… But if Darnold is managed the way he was in NY all season long, we have a chance to be a playoff team. That was a good first impression. Keep it up this week against SF!
Just from a co-worker standpoint… Imagine knowing one of your colleagues makes so much more money from you and they suck at their job. Daniel Jones has to be resented in that locker room.
Yeah I’m keeping my expectations low. The Giants are going to be bad this season too. They look like a team ready to give up on their current coach and QB. Daboll is one of my picks to get fired mid season.
First half thoughts…
Sam Darnold - wow! I was seriously impressed with the 99 yard drive for a TD.
OL has been holding up very well against a tough front 4 of the Giants
Daniel Jones is a terrible QB. He will get benched for good in the next 2 games
Man, if they win 10 or 11 games then Darnold resurrected his career, and that would be pretty cool. I have high aspirations because the alternative also sucks (Big Pick Nick) but my expectations are pretty low.
