    As expected. You're a Vikings fan after all.
  2. nicksaviking
    The losses absolutely don't make anyone feel better, at this point, each one makes it feel more and more like a lost cause. It's not ownership because the four men's pro sports teams have four very different kinds of ownership. I'm not going to make a definitive statement as to what the issue is (hence my request for a comprehensive study) but my guess is the fans and the media here aren't as aggressively vocal and don't demand as much from the players and the teams that the coastal, southern and rust-belt teams get. I'd guess the players get accustomed to a cozy, locally-focused regular season environment and when they get into the hostile, nationally-scrutinized post season environment it's like a bucket of cold water poured over their heads. But again, I'd like something researched.
  3. nicksaviking
    Yeah, that's positive. As I mentioned before, I think they need to get a new OL coach too. while the blocking is unacceptable the situational awareness is awful too.
  4. nicksaviking
    But that doesn't track, because the players on the four Minnesota sports teams don't come from Minnesota and there's no chance that all four of our teams coincidentally all just acquire mentally weak players by nature while the other cities don't. Something HERE makes them weak or allows them to think trying hard but losing, or just making the playoffs, or being happy to play the game is satisfactory enough. It's doubtful you can change the entire state culture, so you have to find out what exactly the source is and you have to find a way to counter it.

    The Vikings, Twins, Wolves and Wild need to all collaborate on a commissioned study as to why men's pro teams in this state always choke. That sounds like a joke but it's not. There's zero chance it's a coincidence and the only common denominator seems to be atmosphere. What about this area specifically imparts this anti-clutch activity, and how do the teams counter it? I know it must be psychological, but there are cures for psychological issues.
  6. nicksaviking
    Yeah, I'll start it right away. Share your optimistic thoughts here everyone!
  7. nicksaviking
    Honestly, I think the perfect cap to the season would be to let Reichard miss a 60-yard field goal.
  8. nicksaviking
    I'm pretty sure the only teams with a QB contingency plan are the teams who don't make the playoffs because their teams are so bad.
  9. nicksaviking
    For sure. I saw it happen in 2017 and 2001.
  10. nicksaviking
    No, the Super Bowl was just an exhibition until the 1970 season, it was like saying you won the Pro Bowl a week after winning the championship! I'm just having fun. But I'll count it if any Packer fans want to challenge me!
  11. nicksaviking
    Well if they can't help Darnold increase his 2025 payday, they can at least help Akers!
  12. nicksaviking
    Wrong!!! The NFL/AFL merger didn't happen until the 1970 season. The Vikings won the NFL championship in 1969 which was only later retconned to include both leagues!!!!!
  13. nicksaviking
    For the firing squad?
  14. nicksaviking
    Haha, funny. Replay assist doesn't help with facemasks! Right.
  15. nicksaviking
    Julien goes down looking at strike three once again!
  16. nicksaviking
    It's easier to stop when you know the other team can only run effectively in non-run situations and only off tackle.
  17. nicksaviking
    Yeah, has Darnold used a hard count to draw an off-sides all year? Other QBs always get the Vikings, but I don't think the Vikings get the other team.
  18. nicksaviking
    If Darnold marches them down 97 yards for a score, his trade value goes back up to a 1st. Probably two 1sts.
  19. nicksaviking
    Yeah, the only reason I wasn't going to write off the regular season success for this team like I did in-season during 2017 and 2022 was because we all already knew that Cousins and Keenum didn't have what was needed to lead a team to a Super Bowl. Darnold was still a mystery during the season, so I was willing to see if he could. He clearly can't.
  20. nicksaviking
    Goff and Stafford showing how to get rid of the ball quickly and complete passes with pressure.
  21. nicksaviking
    Well that's for sure the only way to talk another team into trading for him!
  22. nicksaviking
    Maybe swap Bradbury and Darnold? Let each of them know how hard their job is when the other one fails to do what they're supposed to?
  23. nicksaviking
    I actually don't want competent. I want either exceptional or obviously incompetent. I don't want to get stuck with an extension indecision with a Daniel Jones, Derek Carr or Brock Purdy.
  24. nicksaviking
    Randall Cunningham, Jeff George, Brett Favre. It's been over a decade, but we aren't unfamiliar with the washed-up-bum, turned one-year-hero, turned oh-I-guess-he-was-washed-up-after-all QBs. Less than a year in this case I guess.
  25. nicksaviking
    So the Vikings have all of a sudden gone from having two QBs and potential ammo to get a top 10 pick, to what exactly?
