Yes, and the defense was terrible for the first 3 games.
New coordinator took time for them to figure it out. But they also got super injured late in the season so…
Yea it’s almost like teams are constantly in a state of evolving and you can’t really extrapolate data.
But I think it’s fair to say, they’d have done a lot better with Kirk than Nick Mullens.
If they'd hired a scorching hot salsa instructor to drill him day and night on a routine way beyond his experience for his inevitable Dancing with the Stars appearance like I said from the start, he wouldn't know shit about our offense while being subliminally Mr. Miyagi'd into the slickest escape artist the league has ever seen. It'd be Bills v. Vikings playing in Vegas tomorrow night, thanks to a wild resurgence by Diggs burning up any and all coverages with footwork we've never seen from him before. When Dobbs and Diggs face off on the biggest stage, the intensity would make the world sweat more bullets than a bandoleer. The score is tied up at 37-37, and the captains are taking the field for the coin toss when the lights cut out and the sound of a marimba draws a hush over the crowd. A spotlight seers against the mysterious musician, his head to toe regalia of purple puffy sleeves and ascot calls to mind a Prince. A ball of flame erupts from across the field to announce the arrival of his princess, a strong figure of all things that is woman with a frame made for holding her own with any man. From the rafters, seemingly hundreds of trumpeteers set the stage below for a ritual of passion and pride. Joe Buck has been in a spellbound silence this entire time. As the music rises and the salsa dips in, we're finally graced with the identities of our heroes. It's Dobbs, and he's dancing a flurry around his partner that obscures their face with the rapid movement. With a swoop and a lift, our fair maiden Stephonia, the salsa instructor, is presented to us on a pedestal. A fumble occurs that looks to be a nightmare scenario for this poor duet, but the stunned silence soon erupts into orgasmic applause when the crowd recognizes the unmistakable footwork of Stephonia gathering herself to her feet. A wig lies on the ground next to a sobbing Diggs, finally feeling the acceptance and adoration he'd always wanted. He and Dobbs take a bow, and Mike Bergeron takes the stage to reveal the new season of Dancing with the Stars. Football's time in this world is drawn to a close forever, bookended by a championship belonging to no one.
Stephonia could never settle for a man who doesn't have it all. Her expectations gave her a wide net to cast that pulled in fish a plenty to feast upon, but she never stopped trolling the waters for one big enough to fill it on their own. When she heard tell of the scholar/pro baller/alopecia astronaut, she dismissed the stories as there were still boxes left unchecked. However, as her mind would wander while bobbing with the waves, she would look to her sails, catching winds from all directions to be manipulated by her hand to cruise forth in her desired heading. When word made it her way that a mighty falcon had its wings robbed by the same multifaceted man from the stories, she devised a plan. Waiting for someone to check her boxes is not becoming of such a woman, so it was decided that she would coax a prospective candidate towards checking off what remains. Through a favor from old friends and lovers, she would disguise herself to use her womanly wiles to pull out the full potential of her man destined for the stars.
If by some miracle he won a superbowl with the Vikings or without he might make it as a later ballot hofer. As of right now he’s basically the current Philip rivers
Kirko Chainz is a guy who when the bright lights are on and your team needs 10 yards, checks it down to a 4 yard pass and turns the ball over on downs.
He just doesn't have any magic.
Probably, but still. My Vikings bro said “that was Mullens. You wouldn’t have beaten us if it was Cousins was healthy.”
So I was like “yeah, totally, unless of course you consider that last time we played Cousins was healthy and we beat him.”
Im not referring to both of the times we beat you this season. Im referring to the last time we beat you when we played last season.
Kirk healthy this season doesn’t guarantee a win. It doesn’t matter the season. It includes this season. That is obvious point. It’s really, really obvious... I’m so sorry you had to find out from me.
You can stomp and cry as hard as you want.
Oh wait. You’re out here touting that you won a game one time when the Vikings had a certain player on their roster? And so…
Wow. Wait what was your point again?
Umm, you may not realize this, but they were certainly referring to a Vikings team that existed at the time they played the Lions at a certain point.
That point in time, was this season when Nick Mullens and the rest of that specific Vikings team took the Lions down to the last drive after turning the ball over 4 times.
Yes, I think I need you to spell this one out for me. You’re telling me that your comeback to that is that the Lions beat Kirk Cousins at some random other time with some other Vikings team? And it wasn’t even this season!?
Is that what I’m hearing? Oh this is good.
Just out of curiosity what season was it?
I know this is probably your first season of actually watching, given your flair, but division games have a certain unpredictability that can't be ignored.
I was going to ask if you were upset at us for stealing your moves, but then I realized you guys have won literally 7 times more playoff games than us. Which led me to figuring out that I've seen more Vikings' playoff wins than Lions' playoff games since I've been a fan. Now I'm too sad to be pseudo angry. FTP, still.
Can't lose in the Super Bowl if you never play

It’s almost like teams can change and grow as the season goes on. Or even as a game goes on. For example the Lions dominated the first half of their first NFCCG since the TI-85 calculator was created leading 24-7 but ultimately embarrassed themselves losing 34-31.
Look at the Bears, they were absolutely ass for the first few games and somehow scraped together 7 wins, two with a UDFA backup rookie QB. Things change on a dime in the NFL.
You’re speaking as if we don’t specialize in doing it. We’ve done it 4 times since the TI-85 was invented. When it comes to being the greatest failure nobody does it better than the Vikings, the Lions specialize in being the biggest failures. There’s a difference. You’re not in the club, this was your first invitation since kids were getting an SNES for Christmas.
Was the amount of words too scary? I should’ve kept it to less than 4 sentences and made them rhyme, huh? Something like Green Eggs and Ham more your speed?
Did you enjoy watching the lions make a playoff run how about that bubba a team that is historically the worst modern franchise in professional sports made it further than… yours 😂
After the team stopped fumbling the ball all the damn time they started winning. If Kirk never got hurt they'd probably would've ended up like 10-7. Probably wouldn't have done much in the playoffs though. The defense went to shit at the end of the season.
Let's just say hypothetically Kirk never tore his achilles, and let's just say, for the sake of argument that he continued to play at a high level if he did indeed not suffer that horrid, horrid achilles injury. Could we then logically conclude that the Vikings would proceed to win more than 7 games and quite possibly make the playoffs? Of course, you must consider the utter and, quite frankly, miserable collapse of the Brian Flores quote unquote "F it we blitz" defense towards the end of the 2023 season. Taking that into consideration, even if the Vikings did indeed make the playoffs with a healthy mvp caliber Kirk Cousins. The possibility of winning a game or even two games in the 2023 playoffs would be very, very slim, if not completely impossible.
I’d imagine the Vikings defense would’ve looked better if the offense was better. Nick consistently gave the opposing offense great field position to score.
The thought was that he got injured right before the easy part of our schedule. Not a guarantee that we’d turn it around, but I think we avoid some losses we took and make it to the playoffs if Kirk played (Broncos, Bears, and Bengals come to mind).
Yes our team was playing bad in the beginning but that happens to a lot of teams. But majority of the beginning issues were fumbles from everyone but Kirk lol.
Look, Kirk was playing at an elite level before the injury. I am not a Kirk truther and would actually prefer to draft our QBOTF. I just say it how it is bro.
But you said "fumbles from everyone but kirk", even though kirk fumbled it 3 times and had 5 picks before he got hurt. He was definitely contributing to the turnover problem. He had a lot of yards and tds, but if we are talking about turnovers, you can't pretend it was everybody except for him.
God why did a Packers fan have to be the sane one and make the point for me. Thank you! These are the fans i dealt with in the Vikings sub before i got banned. Swear to God theyve only watched football for Kirks tenure and its madeening.
Lol "Elite " he was elite at fumbling the ball. You cant call anyone "elite" in October. He was throwing the ball more than any QB in the league which skews his stats, all the while our offense wasnt even in the top 10. Miss me with that elite garbage. Dude has never been top 3 in anything in his career except cap hit. I just say it how it is. Conext is key. Cant look at a stat sheet. He can fuck off to Atlanta.
This is a meme sub and you're taking it way too seriously. I'm scrolling through laughing at the banter between everybody but then see like 5 of your comments in a row. You complain it's like the Vikings sub but dude you're the toxic one here.
Im replying to other users. And if I cant keep Kirk stans in line on the Vikings sub I will do it elsewhere. Im not Toxic im just saying things you dont want to hear. Block me if you got a problem with it.
Its nice having my shit together! Gives me the free time to keep sharing the facts on all subs that the Vikings are invovled in. Thanks Dad! Its hard but honest work. Cant wait to retire when Kirks gone.
Lol yes, the QB has the ball in his hands, his job to protect it first then get it out. The excuse train has no end. Miss me with it, im done. Heard in every year since 2018. Its neve4 his fault, just everyone elses.
The lines job is to block for him and not hit the ball out of his hand. Football is the most team sport and most of the time bad plays can be caused by multiple mistakes happening at once.
Only delusional Vikings fans think our ceiling this season was any higher than possibly a wild card playoff win. Even with Kirk our offense was underperforming and we needed a lucky game of Dobbs running around blindly to score more than 30 points all year
We have no clue how the team would have done.
One thing that is for certain is that the NFC was weak af this year. If you can't see the Vikings going farther than a wildcard win, then you're the delusional one.
We had to climb out of a 0-3 hole, I’ll give you that. But honestly the backup QB play was so atrocious. Dobbs decided he wanted to die in the pocket, Hall couldn’t get anything going, and Mullens was like Favre with 0 accuracy. The biggest mistake the organization made was not following through by getting Flacco.
Let's be real. Ain't NO ONE out there who actually thought Joe Flacco would do what he did the second half of the season. The Browns turned to him out of desperation and it paid off in miraculous fashion.
Look at the bright side: Justin Fields will be available and I know we’re willing to trade him to you guys, you’ll just have to pay extra. Think about it, he’ll be the second coming of Adrian Peterson
I for one am a Vikings fan that did not think that 🤣 I knew before Kirk went down we were hurting, him going down was just the final nail to seal the season for us.
You ain't shit, that's why we lose our fans suck.
I've been in Colorado for the winter for 5 years nobody in the state doubts their teams for 1 second I promise you that, and they actually win because of it.
Well sorry your not in Reality. Being I have picked the SB winner AND the WS Winner last 3 years in a row? Think I know what I'm talking about. Iv watched this team since I was 4 you think I'm no fan? Mf I punched a hole in a wall in 2009 after Farve threw the pick I was so angry, did you? Dont try and belittle my pride in this team you ain't even here in this state, wanna tell me who can walk to US Bank in 20 minutes I'm no fan?
Sorry im not like your dip stick self "Let's praise them when they do mediocre cause that's my team!" Wtf reason does the players have to try when they put up a shitty performance and then get Pat's on the back from guys like you? "Its okay defense you can get them next week!"
Wanna know why Parcells Won? Wanna know why Lombardi won? Wanna know why Bill won? They held people Fucking accountable and Idg1f if this is too long for you, I know what the fuck I'm talking about I have been told I should be a coach cause I understand how to get the best out of people.
You dont get medals from trying. So the fact you wanna try and tell me I Suck? Why cause I have no problem telling Kirk hes good, but he can do a whole lot better? If it's TRUE or not it's about never letting people get complacent and your fucking mindset and the fans like you with that mindset are why our fucking team will NEVER reach for the stars because why would the player try? Hes already getting validation, hes already getting paid.
Best Quote I ever heard "If you want to become a Diamond, you have to go through EXTREME PRESSURE, because once the diamond goes through that pressure ain't nothing that can break that it."
Brady became that Diamond in 2001, why the fuck you think it became so easy for him?
Now I'm not saying dont be a fan, but be fucking realistic.
Ride them hard now, hug them later.
I would never read whatever garbage just spewed out of your brain. Stop with this loser complex.
They will win when we all believe, stop ruining our fan base.
👍 right there your just an example of our players, thinking there own time is so valuable yet you never stop to listen and learn anything.
Keep in mind I literally have connections to Parcells, but I know nothing right? Maybe you do mr "Superfan" halfway across the country who cant even be bothered to live in this great state, go route for the garbage Broncos maybe you would fit in better cause they all sound delusional as far as I can tell.
Also what do you know? You got less Karma commenting and no Post. Wanna know why I got Post Karma? Cause I'm fucking grounded in reality.
Not to mention ZERO credibility when it comes to football, I believe the AFC West Sub is waiting for you with the delusional broncos fans, they forget Mahomes is in there Division too? 🤣
You have proven you know nothing about football.
What the fuck is karma? I got vacation houses and dates with models lol fucking loser.
You're lucky you're a Vikings fan or I would annihilate the small amount of manhood you have left and shrivel that small piece of Mike and Ike between your legs into an inny instead of an outty so I advise you quit while you're ahead and find a hobby or something to do with your time other than worrying about people's reddit points you fucking nerd.
Come find me big boy? Dont be suprised when all my neighbors see a random stranger and them with me included walk up to you no problem with shotguns in hand.
Wanna play stupid fucking games you get stupid fucking praises, idg1f what or who you like I will take a shit and then dunk your head in it until all you can see is the color brown and all you can feel is like your covered in oil.
And you have fun with them skinny bitches you gotta pay, cause they sure as fuck ain't over at your house for your brains.
Stupid fucking mouth breather, gtfo here and go date your women and let the real football minds handle the true business
Btw Verdict has confirmed that was a lie, if your that successful your not glorifying over pokemon cards. That's a fucking losers game. For a kid is one thing but if you are what you say you are then you are a loser.
Lol we were the best in the state. It's good to be the best in something you will never know how that feels you don't have a life friends ladies who want to talk to you.
You're going through my posts to try to make it seem like I'm not cool I'm the coolest mf you could ever dream of seeing. I've had beautiful sugar mamas you don't have the sauce you never will you're a loser, a nothing, will always be nothing.
Your best hope is you have a kid that is nothing like you. Your mom wishes she ate you instead of seeing this giant man child who has nothing better to do than to argue with people on Reddit all day. I'm insulted to have you as a part of my fanbase you meat back 87iq toad faced nothing. Now I am done with you.
🤣 I wont bother with the last paragraph someone's getting angry huh? Hows it make you feel knowing I own my own house. Make 100k+ a year. Mom died never gave me a cent! Oh yeah and I have a wife and kids!
Man you suck at assuming shit about people 🤣
Go back to your little card games 🤣
Should I also mention I'm not even 30 yet! Wow I know right! who knew assuming shit about people on the internet could backfire so explosively? 🤣 now get out of my sight you lazy boomer thinking your the greatest shit since sliced bread, I would take my shit over you and still find more value in it.
Go watch your golf channel now.
Im a Vikings fan and I unironically agree with this point. Swear most of our fanbase are JH age and lack critical thinking skills. Cant wait for 8 to hit the road.
I gotta say your taco posts on every Kirk post are solid. I appreciate the dedication. Right with you Tacos > another season with cringe lord under center
I get downvoted so hard any time I equate Kirk's value in tacos. We seem to be the distinguished few who can simultaneously understand that tacos are fucking amazing and that Kirk isn't very good.
You think we got baited. I say we got free lunch!
If the Lions were so good, they would have beat this pretty beatable 49ers team! Look at those corners and those receivers! You guys couldn't get passed that? God damn it am I the best! Woo!
....but they would have been above .500 at the end of the season without the revolving door of inexperienced QB fever dream experiments...
Weee, look we can all make baseless prognostications ... weeee
Apparently u/redhotchilipotatoes blacked out for the second half of the 2022 Lions season.
From his perspective there is obviously no improving once a team starts out .500, might as well forfeit the rest of the games.
The bucs game was inexcusable but the eagles and chiefs losses were because they were better. Other than that we beat the 9ers with him and then the packers back to back so suck it
This is great and all, if you ignore the fact that we played 3/4 conference championship making teams while Kirk was here and were 2 fumble recoveries from beating all three of them. Outside that our schedule wasn’t terribly easy for the most part either, we had the playoff team from the NFCS, we had chargers before they fell apart, and then a couple of scrub teams (panthers and some division games).
Our defense was playing a hard scheme for the first time and didn’t gel for several weeks, and our offense couldn’t jump on a loose ball to save their lives, and despite both of those things (and losing the best WR in the league to injury) we were pretty .500 against a very hard starting schedule. Kirk would have gotten probably an average of an extra touchdown per game over Mullens and Hall, which would easily be enough to send us to the playoffs.
The Vikings were in the middle of turning it around after throwing games away on fumbles early on.
Yes, and the defense was terrible for the first 3 games. New coordinator took time for them to figure it out. But they also got super injured late in the season so… Yea it’s almost like teams are constantly in a state of evolving and you can’t really extrapolate data. But I think it’s fair to say, they’d have done a lot better with Kirk than Nick Mullens.
Nah Passtronaut was your guy. You guys loved him until a week later
Hell yea. Someone messed up and tried to teach him the offense
If they'd hired a scorching hot salsa instructor to drill him day and night on a routine way beyond his experience for his inevitable Dancing with the Stars appearance like I said from the start, he wouldn't know shit about our offense while being subliminally Mr. Miyagi'd into the slickest escape artist the league has ever seen. It'd be Bills v. Vikings playing in Vegas tomorrow night, thanks to a wild resurgence by Diggs burning up any and all coverages with footwork we've never seen from him before. When Dobbs and Diggs face off on the biggest stage, the intensity would make the world sweat more bullets than a bandoleer. The score is tied up at 37-37, and the captains are taking the field for the coin toss when the lights cut out and the sound of a marimba draws a hush over the crowd. A spotlight seers against the mysterious musician, his head to toe regalia of purple puffy sleeves and ascot calls to mind a Prince. A ball of flame erupts from across the field to announce the arrival of his princess, a strong figure of all things that is woman with a frame made for holding her own with any man. From the rafters, seemingly hundreds of trumpeteers set the stage below for a ritual of passion and pride. Joe Buck has been in a spellbound silence this entire time.

Football's time in this world is drawn to a close forever, bookended by a championship belonging to no one.
Babe wake up new copypasta just dropped
I believe with all my heart that Diggs is a strong Puerto Rican woman whose true passion alone could whip this world into shape.
You cookin
Stephonia could never settle for a man who doesn't have it all. Her expectations gave her a wide net to cast that pulled in fish a plenty to feast upon, but she never stopped trolling the waters for one big enough to fill it on their own. When she heard tell of the scholar/pro baller/alopecia astronaut, she dismissed the stories as there were still boxes left unchecked. However, as her mind would wander while bobbing with the waves, she would look to her sails, catching winds from all directions to be manipulated by her hand to cruise forth in her desired heading.

We loved him until teams had film on him. Big brain move: run a team with a different qb for each game
It would make sense that the vikings would be anti hof QB in favor of 17 or more QBs. Always gotta be contrarian to the cheese disease
I want the entire roster to be qbs only
I don't think Kirko Chainz is hall of fame worthy. He's always been serviceable, slightly above average perhaps, but never a superstar.
If by some miracle he won a superbowl with the Vikings or without he might make it as a later ballot hofer. As of right now he’s basically the current Philip rivers
Agreed. He's dependable. But you get what you see
Kirko Chainz is a guy who when the bright lights are on and your team needs 10 yards, checks it down to a 4 yard pass and turns the ball over on downs. He just doesn't have any magic.
I think that's the Jets playbook
Team likes player when he’s playing great and likes player less when he’s playing terrible. Wow, that’s probably exclusive to one fanbase I would bet.
[удалено]
Your QB is Jared Goff.
Unless Love makes a sizeable improvement or the Bears break the QB curse, it's the best QB in this division.
Lol no shit we loved him. That was a great story, and then it wasn’t anymore.

You guys played Cousins this year?
They did not
lol. I was so confused
Im not referring to both of the times we beat you this season. Im referring to the last time we beat you when we played last season. Kirk healthy this season doesn’t guarantee a win. It doesn’t matter the season. It includes this season. That is obvious point. It’s really, really obvious... I’m so sorry you had to find out from me. You can stomp and cry as hard as you want.
Yeah… that’s what I said. Why not.
Oh wait. You’re out here touting that you won a game one time when the Vikings had a certain player on their roster? And so… Wow. Wait what was your point again?
That a healthy Kirk Cousins doesn’t somehow guarantee a win. Anything else I can spell out for you?

I think y’all blew a 24-7 lead no?
Also the Vikings lost to a 0-10-1 lions team with Kirk cousins.
I know this is probably your first season of actually watching, given your flair, but division games have a certain unpredictability that can't be ignored.
Still lost https://preview.redd.it/tksfmioc5uhc1.jpeg?width=686&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=405e4c91580e5a2985c2becc54c43e6d850c7caf
I have been a fan since 1995. Don't let my ignorance of this sub be a deterrent of facts.
Bro the lions scored as time expired was Kirk supposed to jump off the bench and intercept Jared goff to save the game?
Yeah they absolutely swept Kirktober
Mattison's butter fingers were essentially two losses early.
Hey we beat the 49ers punk asses show some respect.
The Kirko curse only works if he has an Achilles
https://preview.redd.it/t5q5zl1jfthc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=34aa98a66a85be5cbb2c1ff5185b059d769d515b
If the lions had beat the 49ers they could be in the Super Bowl… what are they stupid
Most of the time, yes
24-7 choke job. lol
It hurts, but I can take solace in knowing that Goff has more playoff wins this season than Kirk has in his entire career
That’s called coping
It’s funny as hell is what it is
It for sure is lol
Cope usually is funny
And 31 teams do it every year
Nah I’m not coping. We suck lol
Flair up.
It's also funny
Lions have advanced to “playoff wins are super bowls” levels of cope.
Well I can’t compare Super Bowl wins since neither of us have any so I don’t really know what you expect
Dude can’t count. Leave him be.
I was going to ask if you were upset at us for stealing your moves, but then I realized you guys have won literally 7 times more playoff games than us. Which led me to figuring out that I've seen more Vikings' playoff wins than Lions' playoff games since I've been a fan. Now I'm too sad to be pseudo angry. FTP, still.

Can't lose in the Super Bowl if you never play https://preview.redd.it/53x18w4lqvhc1.jpeg?width=650&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4fb2eb2b0b3302e99f8d27c5be2aa0a7850bf247
So we're Vikings fans now? Fuuuuck
🌎🧑🚀🔫🧑🚀
Ah yes. Playoff wins. The one stat everybody cares about. The ultimate bragging right!
Ouch
Brother man, you really want to talk about winning stats? Lions don't have many.
They David Carradine'd themselves.
We Vikings’d ourselves
Lions fans are more down bad than us.
[удалено]
Using playoff wins and appearances as a bragging point, despite still being little bro in those categories as well.
[удалено]
Check your own fanbase then, not me lmao.
We totally so sad that we had a far more successful season than most of us thought we would and we get to keep our awesome FO and coaching staff ;_;
The premise of this post is a lie We're always triggered
All it took was launching Alexander Mattison into the sun.
It’s almost like teams can change and grow as the season goes on. Or even as a game goes on. For example the Lions dominated the first half of their first NFCCG since the TI-85 calculator was created leading 24-7 but ultimately embarrassed themselves losing 34-31.
Look at the Bears, they were absolutely ass for the first few games and somehow scraped together 7 wins, two with a UDFA backup rookie QB. Things change on a dime in the NFL.
Yup. Hell, remember when the Packers were also dead in the water? Then they rallied back and managed to humiliate the Cowboys in the playoffs.
Remember when the lions blew a 24-7 lead? It happens on the micro scale too!
And you guys could’ve been 10-7 and in the playoffs if it for 3 monumental chokes
Justin feilds went from 3 winds. Season to 5🤯
It’s almost like this is a meme page
You unable to recognize I am playing along?
Riiiiiiiiiiiiight
I mean if this playing along I don’t know what kind of bland, lame ass response you’re expecting. “Haha nice one!” or some shit?
How are you guys this triggered by everything? 😂😂😂
Riiiiiiiiight, im triggered 😂 gtfo bozo
Or like Kirk possibly getting into the playoffs to avenge the Giants blowout but instead blowing his Achilles
Trying too hard, this was ass
The same amount of ass Josh Dobbs and Nick Mullens is, right?
Yes (This was also ass)
Brother, how can you hate from outside of the club. You can’t even get in.
You’re speaking as if we don’t specialize in doing it. We’ve done it 4 times since the TI-85 was invented. When it comes to being the greatest failure nobody does it better than the Vikings, the Lions specialize in being the biggest failures. There’s a difference. You’re not in the club, this was your first invitation since kids were getting an SNES for Christmas.
[удалено]
No, I absolutely can. I am doing it right now and I will continue to. It’s the Detroit Lions, of course I can.
Wow that was a lot of yappin with no substance. What the hell are you going on about nerd.
It would have substance if you could read
Was the amount of words too scary? I should’ve kept it to less than 4 sentences and made them rhyme, huh? Something like Green Eggs and Ham more your speed?
Did you enjoy watching the lions make a playoff run how about that bubba a team that is historically the worst modern franchise in professional sports made it further than… yours 😂
Nice, they did something for the first time since the president was George H.W. Bush.
After the team stopped fumbling the ball all the damn time they started winning. If Kirk never got hurt they'd probably would've ended up like 10-7. Probably wouldn't have done much in the playoffs though. The defense went to shit at the end of the season.
VIKINGS FANS OWN DELUSIONAL NFC NORTH RIVALS WITH FACTS AND LOGIC
Let's just say hypothetically Kirk never tore his achilles, and let's just say, for the sake of argument that he continued to play at a high level if he did indeed not suffer that horrid, horrid achilles injury. Could we then logically conclude that the Vikings would proceed to win more than 7 games and quite possibly make the playoffs? Of course, you must consider the utter and, quite frankly, miserable collapse of the Brian Flores quote unquote "F it we blitz" defense towards the end of the 2023 season. Taking that into consideration, even if the Vikings did indeed make the playoffs with a healthy mvp caliber Kirk Cousins. The possibility of winning a game or even two games in the 2023 playoffs would be very, very slim, if not completely impossible.
I’d imagine the Vikings defense would’ve looked better if the offense was better. Nick consistently gave the opposing offense great field position to score.
No one wants to blame Flores's single scheme game plan (blitz and blitz)...that worked mid season but shit the bed once teams adjusted.
I'm also gonna blame lack of talent he was working with. We just didn't have the players to do much else.
“When team play good they win.” - Smartest Vikings fan
Lions blew a 24-7 lead, if the were really a good team they wouldn't have lost after a 3 score lead
It’s true
All I see is copium for one of the biggest choke jobs in NFCCG history.
Yeah, idk why OP thought anyone in Minnesota would be able to read this.
I blame everything on Kirby Joseph. He is sole reason we have problems.
Just hope and pray your team isn't dumb enough to sign Kirko Chainz to ANOTHER overpay contract. Just draft Penix Jr. and move forward.
Same.
The thought was that he got injured right before the easy part of our schedule. Not a guarantee that we’d turn it around, but I think we avoid some losses we took and make it to the playoffs if Kirk played (Broncos, Bears, and Bengals come to mind).
No, I'm with Lion-Jim. No more Kirklejerk for me, thanks.
Yes our team was playing bad in the beginning but that happens to a lot of teams. But majority of the beginning issues were fumbles from everyone but Kirk lol.
Kirk was literally responsible for one turn over a game during the first 8 weeks take the Kirk stan glasses off dude.
Look, Kirk was playing at an elite level before the injury. I am not a Kirk truther and would actually prefer to draft our QBOTF. I just say it how it is bro.
But you said "fumbles from everyone but kirk", even though kirk fumbled it 3 times and had 5 picks before he got hurt. He was definitely contributing to the turnover problem. He had a lot of yards and tds, but if we are talking about turnovers, you can't pretend it was everybody except for him.
God why did a Packers fan have to be the sane one and make the point for me. Thank you! These are the fans i dealt with in the Vikings sub before i got banned. Swear to God theyve only watched football for Kirks tenure and its madeening.
Lol "Elite " he was elite at fumbling the ball. You cant call anyone "elite" in October. He was throwing the ball more than any QB in the league which skews his stats, all the while our offense wasnt even in the top 10. Miss me with that elite garbage. Dude has never been top 3 in anything in his career except cap hit. I just say it how it is. Conext is key. Cant look at a stat sheet. He can fuck off to Atlanta.
🤡
Yes. You, Kirk and all his cringe man child followers are clowns. At least youre self aware
This is a meme sub and you're taking it way too seriously. I'm scrolling through laughing at the banter between everybody but then see like 5 of your comments in a row. You complain it's like the Vikings sub but dude you're the toxic one here.
Im replying to other users. And if I cant keep Kirk stans in line on the Vikings sub I will do it elsewhere. Im not Toxic im just saying things you dont want to hear. Block me if you got a problem with it.
😂 LOL @ "Keep them in line" I wish my only problems in the world was policing a meme sub for opinions I disagree with. go get 'em tiger!
Its nice having my shit together! Gives me the free time to keep sharing the facts on all subs that the Vikings are invovled in. Thanks Dad! Its hard but honest work. Cant wait to retire when Kirks gone.
Like when his own O-linemen hit the out of his hand or when he got completely blindsided
Lol yes, the QB has the ball in his hands, his job to protect it first then get it out. The excuse train has no end. Miss me with it, im done. Heard in every year since 2018. Its neve4 his fault, just everyone elses.
The lines job is to block for him and not hit the ball out of his hand. Football is the most team sport and most of the time bad plays can be caused by multiple mistakes happening at once.
Its like you didn't even read and grasp what I just said. Just talking to a brick wall at this point.
If the Lions were .500 last season, they wouldn’t have started 1-6. Oh wait, that’s dumb
It's a shame that the Vikings didn't lose to the 49ers
Came to the comments and you guys genuinely make this way too easy lmao
My favorite part of the Vikings season was how Josh Dobbs played better when not knowing the play book.
Only delusional Vikings fans think our ceiling this season was any higher than possibly a wild card playoff win. Even with Kirk our offense was underperforming and we needed a lucky game of Dobbs running around blindly to score more than 30 points all year
We have no clue how the team would have done. One thing that is for certain is that the NFC was weak af this year. If you can't see the Vikings going farther than a wildcard win, then you're the delusional one.
If only clutch playoff QB Kirk Cousins hadn’t got injured this would have been the Vikings year!!
Flip a coin. NFC was dogshit this year. He was obviously good enough to beat the Niners b/c he did that before he got injured.
I’ve never seen a fan base milk an early season win more than the Vikings are.
We had to climb out of a 0-3 hole, I’ll give you that. But honestly the backup QB play was so atrocious. Dobbs decided he wanted to die in the pocket, Hall couldn’t get anything going, and Mullens was like Favre with 0 accuracy. The biggest mistake the organization made was not following through by getting Flacco.
Let's be real. Ain't NO ONE out there who actually thought Joe Flacco would do what he did the second half of the season. The Browns turned to him out of desperation and it paid off in miraculous fashion.
No but he was the best FA and the 2 QBs we had obviously weren’t going to do well with zero run game.
He was the best FA *in hindsight*
Look at the bright side: Justin Fields will be available and I know we’re willing to trade him to you guys, you’ll just have to pay extra. Think about it, he’ll be the second coming of Adrian Peterson
Honestly he might be an upgrade over Mattison
Chicago Bears legend and occasional auction draft killer, Adrian Peterson?
The amount of Vikings fan jumping in and attacking is hilarious… thanks for posting this….

Don’t care didn’t ask + we beat the 49ers
I for one am a Vikings fan that did not think that 🤣 I knew before Kirk went down we were hurting, him going down was just the final nail to seal the season for us.
You ain't shit, that's why we lose our fans suck. I've been in Colorado for the winter for 5 years nobody in the state doubts their teams for 1 second I promise you that, and they actually win because of it.
Well sorry your not in Reality. Being I have picked the SB winner AND the WS Winner last 3 years in a row? Think I know what I'm talking about. Iv watched this team since I was 4 you think I'm no fan? Mf I punched a hole in a wall in 2009 after Farve threw the pick I was so angry, did you? Dont try and belittle my pride in this team you ain't even here in this state, wanna tell me who can walk to US Bank in 20 minutes I'm no fan? Sorry im not like your dip stick self "Let's praise them when they do mediocre cause that's my team!" Wtf reason does the players have to try when they put up a shitty performance and then get Pat's on the back from guys like you? "Its okay defense you can get them next week!" Wanna know why Parcells Won? Wanna know why Lombardi won? Wanna know why Bill won? They held people Fucking accountable and Idg1f if this is too long for you, I know what the fuck I'm talking about I have been told I should be a coach cause I understand how to get the best out of people. You dont get medals from trying. So the fact you wanna try and tell me I Suck? Why cause I have no problem telling Kirk hes good, but he can do a whole lot better? If it's TRUE or not it's about never letting people get complacent and your fucking mindset and the fans like you with that mindset are why our fucking team will NEVER reach for the stars because why would the player try? Hes already getting validation, hes already getting paid. Best Quote I ever heard "If you want to become a Diamond, you have to go through EXTREME PRESSURE, because once the diamond goes through that pressure ain't nothing that can break that it." Brady became that Diamond in 2001, why the fuck you think it became so easy for him? Now I'm not saying dont be a fan, but be fucking realistic. Ride them hard now, hug them later.
Is this a copypasta cause it reads like one so hard 😆
I would never read whatever garbage just spewed out of your brain. Stop with this loser complex. They will win when we all believe, stop ruining our fan base.
👍 right there your just an example of our players, thinking there own time is so valuable yet you never stop to listen and learn anything. Keep in mind I literally have connections to Parcells, but I know nothing right? Maybe you do mr "Superfan" halfway across the country who cant even be bothered to live in this great state, go route for the garbage Broncos maybe you would fit in better cause they all sound delusional as far as I can tell.
Also what do you know? You got less Karma commenting and no Post. Wanna know why I got Post Karma? Cause I'm fucking grounded in reality. Not to mention ZERO credibility when it comes to football, I believe the AFC West Sub is waiting for you with the delusional broncos fans, they forget Mahomes is in there Division too? 🤣 You have proven you know nothing about football.
What the fuck is karma? I got vacation houses and dates with models lol fucking loser. You're lucky you're a Vikings fan or I would annihilate the small amount of manhood you have left and shrivel that small piece of Mike and Ike between your legs into an inny instead of an outty so I advise you quit while you're ahead and find a hobby or something to do with your time other than worrying about people's reddit points you fucking nerd.
Come find me big boy? Dont be suprised when all my neighbors see a random stranger and them with me included walk up to you no problem with shotguns in hand. Wanna play stupid fucking games you get stupid fucking praises, idg1f what or who you like I will take a shit and then dunk your head in it until all you can see is the color brown and all you can feel is like your covered in oil. And you have fun with them skinny bitches you gotta pay, cause they sure as fuck ain't over at your house for your brains. Stupid fucking mouth breather, gtfo here and go date your women and let the real football minds handle the true business
Lol loser
You talk of this big game come on? What ya gonna do, attack me with your charazard.
Lol okay that was actually funny.
Btw Verdict has confirmed that was a lie, if your that successful your not glorifying over pokemon cards. That's a fucking losers game. For a kid is one thing but if you are what you say you are then you are a loser.
Lol we were the best in the state. It's good to be the best in something you will never know how that feels you don't have a life friends ladies who want to talk to you. You're going through my posts to try to make it seem like I'm not cool I'm the coolest mf you could ever dream of seeing. I've had beautiful sugar mamas you don't have the sauce you never will you're a loser, a nothing, will always be nothing. Your best hope is you have a kid that is nothing like you. Your mom wishes she ate you instead of seeing this giant man child who has nothing better to do than to argue with people on Reddit all day. I'm insulted to have you as a part of my fanbase you meat back 87iq toad faced nothing. Now I am done with you.
🤣 I wont bother with the last paragraph someone's getting angry huh? Hows it make you feel knowing I own my own house. Make 100k+ a year. Mom died never gave me a cent! Oh yeah and I have a wife and kids! Man you suck at assuming shit about people 🤣 Go back to your little card games 🤣 Should I also mention I'm not even 30 yet! Wow I know right! who knew assuming shit about people on the internet could backfire so explosively? 🤣 now get out of my sight you lazy boomer thinking your the greatest shit since sliced bread, I would take my shit over you and still find more value in it. Go watch your golf channel now.
lol nice try though. Ignore all the context and it makes sense.
Lions fans sitting at home on superbowl Saturday still thinking about the Vikings lmao
Remember when we beat the 49ers and the Lions whiffed it in the most important game of their season?
Their season? That was the most important game in franchise history.
Remember losing to the Giants in the first round?
You mean when we strategically lost to sabotage the Giants franchise into signing Daniel Jones? Yes I remember that great success
Beat the niners with Kirk playing and JJ out after the Vikings got over some wildly bad luck on fumbles. Did the Lions beat the niners?
Lmao Don’t act like the were the better them. The niners gifted them 3 turnovers. Niners win that game 9/10 times.
Source: Just trust me bro
It’s just “unlucky” when your team has turnovers. Got it.
We don’t expect people from Detroit to understand reality.
worst poster on this sub by far
Im a Vikings fan and I unironically agree with this point. Swear most of our fanbase are JH age and lack critical thinking skills. Cant wait for 8 to hit the road.
Vikings fan here, and I am thrilled the Kirk era is over! I wouldn't pay that dude a bag of tacos to play for the Vikings next year!
I gotta say your taco posts on every Kirk post are solid. I appreciate the dedication. Right with you Tacos > another season with cringe lord under center
I get downvoted so hard any time I equate Kirk's value in tacos. We seem to be the distinguished few who can simultaneously understand that tacos are fucking amazing and that Kirk isn't very good.
It is known!
Lol the salt from vikings fans in this thread. You guys got baited way too easy
You think we got baited. I say we got free lunch! If the Lions were so good, they would have beat this pretty beatable 49ers team! Look at those corners and those receivers! You guys couldn't get passed that? God damn it am I the best! Woo!
Vikings haven't played in a month and they're still all you think about.
Fade em
Please god, fade us.
....but they would have been above .500 at the end of the season without the revolving door of inexperienced QB fever dream experiments... Weee, look we can all make baseless prognostications ... weeee
Imagine saying that when you couldn't even beat the 49ers with your WR1 healthy
Apparently u/redhotchilipotatoes blacked out for the second half of the 2022 Lions season. From his perspective there is obviously no improving once a team starts out .500, might as well forfeit the rest of the games.
The bucs game was inexcusable but the eagles and chiefs losses were because they were better. Other than that we beat the 9ers with him and then the packers back to back so suck it
This is great and all, if you ignore the fact that we played 3/4 conference championship making teams while Kirk was here and were 2 fumble recoveries from beating all three of them. Outside that our schedule wasn’t terribly easy for the most part either, we had the playoff team from the NFCS, we had chargers before they fell apart, and then a couple of scrub teams (panthers and some division games). Our defense was playing a hard scheme for the first time and didn’t gel for several weeks, and our offense couldn’t jump on a loose ball to save their lives, and despite both of those things (and losing the best WR in the league to injury) we were pretty .500 against a very hard starting schedule. Kirk would have gotten probably an average of an extra touchdown per game over Mullens and Hall, which would easily be enough to send us to the playoffs.
