Isn’t it more sad that I’ve seen exactly 6 playoff wins in 30 years of watching this team? Let me say that again. 6. In 30 years of following this team. The mariners, who only this year broke a 20 year playoff drought, have many more wins over that timeframe.
Change that and I’ll have some faith.
Agree 100%. I don’t see the point. I’m not a metrics guy so I’m sure someone will tell me how wrong I am but I watched probably 70% of the games last year and he was underwhelming until late in the season when we were already toast. Plus, I have no idea why he’d want to be in MN. We aren’t close to seriously competing. Signing him would be like throwing some expensive rims on a Tercel
I don’t believe for one second CC wants to stay here. Combination of money and a chance to win a ring will have him saying “see ya later” very soon. And I wouldn’t be the least bit upset about it.
Hey maybe we can trade duran the day before the season starts for another guy with TJ history and a past his “prime” reliever! Then after we blow numerous late leads, we can try to bolster the bullpen at the trade deadline. Cross our fingers and hope it works out!
Meh. #1 overall pick, career losing record, passer rating mid 80s, average completion percentage. Drafted #1 overall in ‘18 and couldn’t even keep a place on the terrible panthers. Manziel was a late first round pick
A 10-2 record is fairly rare for the Vikings. Did it in 2017, 2009, 2000, 1998 (11-1), 1975 (11-1), 1973, 1970, 1969 (11-1). All but 2 of those years they advanced to the NFCCG
And both those games the Vikings were beaten by the better defense as their offense sputtered. And SF has a better defense than those two teams. Heck, Washington is 7th in yards allowed per game and top 15 in scoring. That could be a first round matchup right there. They had us dead to rights until ol’ Taylor heinecke overthrew his receiver by 15 yards
The lowest ranked defense to ever win a Super Bowl was the 2011 giants and they were 25th on Y/G and points allowed/game. Right now the Vikings are 31 in Y/G and 20th in scoring.
All I said was that SF will still have a chance even with their 3rd string QB because their defense is #1 in the league. NE and the jets started below average QBs and took us to the wire. Our offense is wonderful but I would take the SF defense in one second. And you would too. Kirk didn’t have his best game today, but we’re toast if he goes down. Good defenses almost always top good offenses. I’ve watched too much football to get super excited about going 3-1 while allowing 460 average yards a game and a -22 point differential. Take out the cowboys blowout and our 3 wins were by a total of 15 points.
Yeah they’ve definitely taken a hit now that they have the literal “mr irrelevant” at QB. But the top defense in football will always give them a chance.
He’s not wrong but that sort of like saying “hits aren’t runs”. They aren’t, but if you’re constantly putting a couple guys on base every inning, the averages are going to eventually catch up to you. Mike white almost threw for 400 yards today. That’s…a lot
Don’t forget the Washington game where their guy hit the snapper and we were able to run out the clock instead of having to defend a 3 point lead with 2 minutes left. Every team has luck but this year we have super luck. I was flipping out seeing our defense celebrate when I thought berrios caught that one in the end zone. Throw was a touch behind him
It’s unbelievable that they stopped the jets at the goal line on that second to last series. Z Smith and H Smith had what should have been TFL and missed. Inside the 5. Fortunate
