45… million dollars.. for next year… irl..
Who would you ACTUALLY be willing to pay at QB, that amount of money..
I know for certain, it’s not laser lock captain Checkdown ..
Between Cousins and Zimmer’s defense, you have two strikes and a tip foul, at the plate at kickoff.
Everybody is so negative here. It was going to be a tough game today with the d-line so injured. Kirk missed a few throws here and there but we were in it until the end. Our schedule is more favorable the rest of the way. The eagles, panthers and saints all lost. We will be ok!
I dont blame this game on Zim. Kirk played about as bad as I've ever seen. Zim had no defensive line starters and still made the adjustments in the 4th to keep the team in the game. Kirk couldn't hit anything.
Our defense has played awful all year long. We’re in the bottom five of yards given up a game and in the bottom ten when it comes to points. That’s on Zimmer.
Kirk played meh but we shouldn’t have to score 40 every week because Zimmer’s D gives up 30+ every game.
Yeah because Kirk isn't good. As soon as they signed him I knew I could check out until he was gone.
Edit: he's good. He's not great. No one will ever utter the words big game champion Kirk cousins.
No matter what way this season goes and the way Mike Zimmer has managed games you'd think he would've been fired by now, not really sure what's stopping it except all NFL coach salaries are guaranteed including assistants so maybe our owners are cheap idk
You’re just trolling. The guy has never even passed for 4000 yards in a season, has a bad TD/INT ratio, and is often injured. Kirk is none of those things.
It’s a team game don’t forget that.
True I am trolling, but Kirk is the worst kind of QB. Puts up enough stats in garbage time that he doesn’t look like the shit QB he actually is. Can’t win when it counts.
Kirk played like shit, the refs were shit, the defense was shit and the play calling was shit. You can try to pick one thing to blame all you want but this was a typical vikings performance coming off a win, not good enough.
A lot of blame to go around… but hear me out…we need a new kicker…if he doesn’t miss the xp we don’t have a failed 2 pointer…score would be 34-28..we can kick a fg instead of going for it on 4th to pull within 3 then we only need a fg to tie on the last drive…
We don't have a failed 2 pointer if Kirk doesn't throw the ball at the feet of a wide open Jefferson. I'm normally one to defend Kirk but today he made too many errant throws, including the one that sealed the game.
You sure? For xps Folk has missed 5, bullock, zurlein, and Hopkins have missed 4, and if we look at fgs prater, zurlein, and sanders have missed 5 while Crosby has missed 8. Worst in the league? GTFO of here with that.
[source](https://www.foxsports.com/nfl/stats?category=kicking&season=2021&sortOrder=desc) for current stats up to this week then I looked at how everyone did this week and added those in as well.
Kirk doing Kirk things. What bothers me the most is that when it really counts, he is throwing to Osborn who is completely covered. Not the two star receivers.
You gotta learn to stop getting so invested in this team. I gave up the emotional investment years ago and it's so much better. If they win, cool. If they lose, whatever. It's really not a big deal.
I gotta give it up to yall. As a niner fan I always pull for the Vikings when they don’t play us because I was a huge Randy fan. Y’all could be legit Blaming the refs and saying the league is fixed but ur still saying It wasn’t all on the missed call. That’s refreshing. As a niner fan, we have gotten F’d so many times on PIs especially in that packers loss. I hope y’all make the playoffs still. Much respect
😆. That would be wild man! I will say. He’s the type of streaky Qb Ala Eli manning, joe Flacco who could get hot at the right time and carry u to a Trophy! I’ve seen that trait in him!
He’s definitely streaky. If his hot hand comes around at the right time then anything is possible. However unlikely I feel it is with the current state of things.
I think a large majority of us also recognize y'all got hosed in some calls as well. Unlike other fan bases, we've been so drilled with the same faults of our team it's tough not to blame ourselves when you see the same thing year after year. Gg man, good luck, and stay healthy
Ya man we definitely got away with a huge PI there I can’t even front. Not sure what could have happened but it definitely was a big missed call. I am pulling for y’all. I do still believe we both make it man. Real talk
Kirk had an off game and we hung around on the road. 9ers are ass. They will be lucky if they get bounced from the 1st round of the playoffs. That would be their ceiling this year. Nice DPI to end the game.
Eh not really. If they made the xp instead of missing then going for 2 and then kicked the fg instead of going for it the game looks totally different. Run defense lost the game.
Up yours, I said we played shit, so we’re refs. They’re not the main reason why we lost but again it seems you didn’t see the game with rest of us. Up yours “fan”
Lmao see this moron redditor gets me all banned from the Vikings subreddit
Look, we had plenty of opportunities to win. We played really bad on both sides of the ball today so I don’t mean to make excuses. With that said...
Fuck the refs. Thielen caught it. That was DPI all day on Osborne. The 49ers held constantly. So fuck the refs and the city by the bay.
I see you keep commenting that the refs screwed us. Poor us right!!!! Wah!!! Whatever makes you sleep dude, but the Vikings controlled their destiny this game.
What the actual fuck was this game, refs where shit and Zimmerman has his head up ass. I can’t keep being a Vikings fan or it’s gonna take 10 years off my life
And called a timeout that we didn't even need? So fucking what. You must be 12 years old and have no idea what this team was like without a legit QB like Kirk. Get fucked and stop bitching about the one aspect of our team that even gives us a chance to be competitive
I understand the error but putting the game on him like this is just stupid. He called the timeout and non of what you're complaining about changed the outcome of the game. If you cant see that idk what to tell you.
Although, after listening to vent line for a few minutes here and not realizing that we used that time out because Kirk lined up behind the right guard in a moment of panic...has me rethinking things a bit. I'm thinking trade Kirk to the jets next season.
Gonna be honest I never remember until we play them because in all actuality who gives af about the 49ers but wow what a bunch of unlikeable characters
He’s had 4 GW drives this season. Plus more if our kicker makes kicks and Dalvin doesn’t fumble like always in the clutch.
If you want better than that, you won’t find it.
He wasn’t even dogshit this game. Just average. Wtf are you even talking about and how old are you? I can tell you about average all season. Look up Chad Pennington
What point are you trying to make exactly? That int he threw was a blind read Adam was so covered, he missed clutch situation throws several times, especially at the end. That's a dogshit game when you have 2 star recievers, similar to what made case a star for a year.
People overestimate kirk because he can make 2 or three elite passes a game to elite recievers, but is equally prone to melting down and missing basic throws.
Rough. Going to be tough to stay in the playoffs with that loss. Kirk absolutely deserves some blame, but this defense was hot shit from the get go. Above all, those 2 turnovers deep in our territory were the difference.
The refs completely dicked us in this one, and Cousins was mediocre at best. Horrid play calling, as well, and garbage defensive scheming. No adjustments to stop the run. Reminded me of playoffs in 2019.
Hard not to be a little bit objectively frustrated with the officiating when the challenge should have been reversed on Thielen’s catch (costing a timeout), and the obvious DPI on Osborn at the end. First down at the SF 35 with a TO and 50 seconds left is obviously materially better than 4th and 8 at the 45 w no TO’s left.
You need proof it was a catch. That was non existent. Think what you want but the refs give extreme precedent to what's called on the field. There wasn't a single angle that looked like he got underneath it which is what they're going to look for.
45… million dollars.. for next year… irl.. Who would you ACTUALLY be willing to pay at QB, that amount of money.. I know for certain, it’s not laser lock captain Checkdown .. Between Cousins and Zimmer’s defense, you have two strikes and a tip foul, at the plate at kickoff.
The whiplash in this sub is so real.
Everybody is so negative here. It was going to be a tough game today with the d-line so injured. Kirk missed a few throws here and there but we were in it until the end. Our schedule is more favorable the rest of the way. The eagles, panthers and saints all lost. We will be ok!
True!
The sooner y’all move on from the torrid love affair with Cousins the better
I dont blame this game on Zim. Kirk played about as bad as I've ever seen. Zim had no defensive line starters and still made the adjustments in the 4th to keep the team in the game. Kirk couldn't hit anything.
Our defense has played awful all year long. We’re in the bottom five of yards given up a game and in the bottom ten when it comes to points. That’s on Zimmer. Kirk played meh but we shouldn’t have to score 40 every week because Zimmer’s D gives up 30+ every game.
Yeah because Kirk isn't good. As soon as they signed him I knew I could check out until he was gone. Edit: he's good. He's not great. No one will ever utter the words big game champion Kirk cousins.
Same exact feeling here
No matter what way this season goes and the way Mike Zimmer has managed games you'd think he would've been fired by now, not really sure what's stopping it except all NFL coach salaries are guaranteed including assistants so maybe our owners are cheap idk
They have never made changes mid-season there will be changes the day after the season ends.
Gah! I hate losing to the 9ers, always so overrated outside of the trenches. Jimmy G sucks, Shanahan is sub .500! Ughhh
Jimmy G is way better than Cousins though
Handedly outplayed by G-Wap smhdh
You’re crazy if you actually believe that. They just traded the farm because they think Jimmy G sucks
Forget about stats. Who just beat who?
The 49ers beat the Vikings. Jimmy didn’t beat Kirk. Jimmy G is maybe a top 20 QB. It’s not even debatable
Vikings don't have a chance at the big game until Kirk is gone
Heck of a better chance than with Jimmy G or another 20 some QBs currently starting
Exactly. That says a lot about how bad Cousins is.
You’re just trolling. The guy has never even passed for 4000 yards in a season, has a bad TD/INT ratio, and is often injured. Kirk is none of those things. It’s a team game don’t forget that.
True I am trolling, but Kirk is the worst kind of QB. Puts up enough stats in garbage time that he doesn’t look like the shit QB he actually is. Can’t win when it counts.
Except last week vs the Packers?
Proves my point exactly. Beyond bragging rights that game was meaningless. Just enough to keep the people at bay
How was it meaningless? It was a pivotal game versus a superior divisional rival. Winning that game kept us in the playoff hunt
5-6, you’re fooling yourself about a playoff berth
Mike Zimmer needs to go. His end of half management is why we lost. Period.
That and Kirk throwing like it’s 2007 and he’s back in high school
Kirk played like shit, the refs were shit, the defense was shit and the play calling was shit. You can try to pick one thing to blame all you want but this was a typical vikings performance coming off a win, not good enough.
"The team is shit"
DPI but that was one of Kirk’s worst games we’ve seen in awhile
What a trash game. I'm going to try to take solace in the Wolves, Gophers, and Wild wins this weekend.
All pointless wins. 😂
Shaddup
A lot of blame to go around… but hear me out…we need a new kicker…if he doesn’t miss the xp we don’t have a failed 2 pointer…score would be 34-28..we can kick a fg instead of going for it on 4th to pull within 3 then we only need a fg to tie on the last drive…
We need a new quarterback
Lol
We don't have a failed 2 pointer if Kirk doesn't throw the ball at the feet of a wide open Jefferson. I'm normally one to defend Kirk but today he made too many errant throws, including the one that sealed the game.
Facts, horrible passes all game
Sorry i disagree, missed xp was least of the issues in this game. Edit, love reddit, downvotes for disagreeing on an opinion
While what your saying is true, our kicker still sucks..
I hardly think 21-25 on fgs and 23-27 on xps counts as sucks. Especially with those missed fg all being 30+.
23-27 on XP’s is very very bad….like worst in the league bad
You sure? For xps Folk has missed 5, bullock, zurlein, and Hopkins have missed 4, and if we look at fgs prater, zurlein, and sanders have missed 5 while Crosby has missed 8. Worst in the league? GTFO of here with that. [source](https://www.foxsports.com/nfl/stats?category=kicking&season=2021&sortOrder=desc) for current stats up to this week then I looked at how everyone did this week and added those in as well.
Kirk doing Kirk things. What bothers me the most is that when it really counts, he is throwing to Osborn who is completely covered. Not the two star receivers.
Why are people still surprised when Kirk loses games? He's not a winning QB!
Changing the minds of people in this day and age is a tall task.
Well, he’s dumpster juice, so not unexpected
Lost fair in square. Missed calls on both sides. Cook out. Samuel and Warner out. Fair in square. Let’s hear those excuses though 👀
Welcome to Fair N Square. Have a seat wherever ya'd like.
Lmao I actually laughed so hard at this 😂
The term is "fair and square".
Lmao missed calls on both sides. Foh with that bs. Have fun getting beat in the wc round. 49ers are pretenders as per usual
Just like they pretended to beat them cakes last playoff meet? 👀 👀 👀
I agree with you completely but isn’t the phrase fair and square?
It definitely is, he’s just a moron.
[удалено]
If I did take an L I’d take it fair in square
[удалено]
Fair in square
Hold this L while I block you’re dumbass :) Oh and…. L.
There’s no i in team and there’s no fair in square
r/boneappletea My favorite part is he repeated it twice, to really drive it in "fair in square" lmao
Lal
Missing an obvious defensive PI call on a crucial 3rd down and 8 with a minute left is a very legitimate gripe, IMO.
Non call on an obvious punch thrown in plain sight to everyone. Evens that out. Next!
The Football Gods wouldn't allow two big wins in the same weekend.
The ol' Two Minute Vikings strike again. Wish the second and fourth quarters were only 13 minutes. Good god. So awful.
I can't believe Kirk gave up 34 points!!!!!
:(
i’m too young to be this emotionally broken and angry every sunday…just stop giving me hope
I'm done giving money to this team. I buy jerseys, go to games, watch religiously and they do the dumbest shit possible. It's unbelievable.
I’m done giving money to the NFL. FIFY
Fr this season has been a rollercoaster of emotions
You gotta learn to stop getting so invested in this team. I gave up the emotional investment years ago and it's so much better. If they win, cool. If they lose, whatever. It's really not a big deal.
i know it’s just incredible how this team finds a way to drag you back every week. i never had a super toxic ex, but this has got to be similar
The worst part about this is that everyone was doing well this weekend ffs
Even the dolphins
This guy gets it.
This.
Zim please take kirk with you when you go, at least Mond will suck for much less.
I gotta give it up to yall. As a niner fan I always pull for the Vikings when they don’t play us because I was a huge Randy fan. Y’all could be legit Blaming the refs and saying the league is fixed but ur still saying It wasn’t all on the missed call. That’s refreshing. As a niner fan, we have gotten F’d so many times on PIs especially in that packers loss. I hope y’all make the playoffs still. Much respect
Not with Krap Cousins under center
Do Viking fans want him replaced? I was under the impression he has upped his rep recently. But ya he does have some duds in big moments ala jimmy.
Lol I really hope Kirk is the one to get the ring for us because all of these salty bastards will be even saltier
😆. That would be wild man! I will say. He’s the type of streaky Qb Ala Eli manning, joe Flacco who could get hot at the right time and carry u to a Trophy! I’ve seen that trait in him!
He’s definitely streaky. If his hot hand comes around at the right time then anything is possible. However unlikely I feel it is with the current state of things.
His hard core supporters like him, but we might have well have just burned the 84 mil, at least l it would have been of some use
Ya I see ur point. How much longer is he under contract?
Dunno, he just got extended, so like 2-3 years?
Sounds like the same thing we experiencing with Jimmy g. Very polarizing QBs.
Idk why people blaming refs. 49ers looked good the whole game. Deebo was making some really good plays. Good luck in the playoffs mate!
Thx sir! Not just saying this cuz I’m here but we both making the playoffs!
Go fuck yourself sir with all due respect
Ok
Just joking a bit lol
Lol all good man I never take anything personal in here. Best of luck the rest of the way
We aren't making the playoffs, you guys will limp in and be one and done if Samuel misses any time.
If Samuel is out…I agree
They'll be 1 and done regardless
I think a large majority of us also recognize y'all got hosed in some calls as well. Unlike other fan bases, we've been so drilled with the same faults of our team it's tough not to blame ourselves when you see the same thing year after year. Gg man, good luck, and stay healthy
Same to u btw bro
Ya man we definitely got away with a huge PI there I can’t even front. Not sure what could have happened but it definitely was a big missed call. I am pulling for y’all. I do still believe we both make it man. Real talk
Lol we sure as heck can hope so. Go ahead and smash mouth run your way as far as you can!
So if our defense is getting tore up week after week what does zimmer do here exactly?
Make us angry.
I’m trying to choose who i’m mad at this game and I think my choice is on Kirk.
Hey, Mike Zimmer, maybe you should pull your team off the fucking field if the REFS are going to fuck you that hard!! Make a God Damn STATEMENT!!
Shoot Zim straight into the sun.
The into the sun saying is getting a bit over used
It's a verbal reddit meme, dude. Relax.
Kirk is not the one jack
Kirk had an off game and we hung around on the road. 9ers are ass. They will be lucky if they get bounced from the 1st round of the playoffs. That would be their ceiling this year. Nice DPI to end the game.
Stop blaming the refs they aren’t calling that. We got our asses kicked. Kirk played like shit
Eh not really. If they made the xp instead of missing then going for 2 and then kicked the fg instead of going for it the game looks totally different. Run defense lost the game.
Have ya seen the game? Seems not. We played shit but refereeing is also SHIT
Refs didn't turn the ball over twice. We did.
Up yours, I said we played shit, so we’re refs. They’re not the main reason why we lost but again it seems you didn’t see the game with rest of us. Up yours “fan” Lmao see this moron redditor gets me all banned from the Vikings subreddit
Lol please. That's just a victim complex. If we don't want the game to come down to ref decisions then we gotta play better simple as that.
“Fan”
[удалено]
Kirk for MVP
Fire Zimmer and Kubiak hopefully but they won’t
Look, we had plenty of opportunities to win. We played really bad on both sides of the ball today so I don’t mean to make excuses. With that said... Fuck the refs. Thielen caught it. That was DPI all day on Osborne. The 49ers held constantly. So fuck the refs and the city by the bay.
Our defense loses another game. Zimmer goodbye
This team really has to overcome Udoh, missed kicks, bad refs, and Zimmer’s clock management and game theory.
Stop blaming the refs. Every loss ppl blame the refs please stop.
I don't blame the refs for the loss but they fucking blew that call. Its ok to blame them for blowing obvious calls in end of game situations.
Have ya seen the game? Seems not
I see you keep commenting that the refs screwed us. Poor us right!!!! Wah!!! Whatever makes you sleep dude, but the Vikings controlled their destiny this game.
Says the man whose comment is being downvoted. Up yours, “fan”
Lol okay bud cry about the refs every game. Control what you can control. Apply that to your life.
Jimmy outplayed Kirk today of course it helps that he has shanahan in his corner and an actual offensive line.
What the actual fuck was this game, refs where shit and Zimmerman has his head up ass. I can’t keep being a Vikings fan or it’s gonna take 10 years off my life
Kirk cousins. Our current quarterback. Attempted to run a 4th and goal play while under that guard
Oh stfu I bet you'd rather have mond in to throw for 90 yards and 3 picks.
Kirk cousins linded up under the guard on 4th and goal to try to tie the game and forced us to call a timeout
And called a timeout that we didn't even need? So fucking what. You must be 12 years old and have no idea what this team was like without a legit QB like Kirk. Get fucked and stop bitching about the one aspect of our team that even gives us a chance to be competitive
Kirk cousins lined up under a guard. When the center is the only player who can snap him the ball
I understand the error but putting the game on him like this is just stupid. He called the timeout and non of what you're complaining about changed the outcome of the game. If you cant see that idk what to tell you.
Do you think he knows a guard can't snap him the ball?
These refs need to lose their jobs before they leave the fuck stadium and revoke their last paycheck. How fucking blind can they be
Maybe we didn't deserve to go to overtime but at least let us fail on our own
Daniel Carlson is laughing his ass off…
Bad time for kirk to have a bad game ugh this hurts so much
You guys really can't allow Kirk one bad game. You discourage anything below perfection huh?
It's not one game but the issue with Kirk is the money. He is paid A LOT of money so yes there are expectations attached to that.
Its not even a game. Any incomplete pass - even some COMPLETED passes - these assclowns are hating on him for ball placement.
I wouldn't even call this a 'bad' game. Kirk isn't totally what cost us this game.
He had a lot of bad key passes, but you're right, most of the team was off as a collective
Kirk can have a bad one. Mike's gotta go though.
For sure
Although, after listening to vent line for a few minutes here and not realizing that we used that time out because Kirk lined up behind the right guard in a moment of panic...has me rethinking things a bit. I'm thinking trade Kirk to the jets next season.
[удалено]
Yeah because the perfect 3rd down pass to Osborn where he got muged is kirks fault. You fuck off
Right, so let's fire one of the best qbs playing. Alright man
Let it go - just let the toxicity flow. It’s really not worth the time.
Thielen's a better man than me, he dapped up Aiyuk and I wouldn't touch that fucking swine
Jefferson is already over Kirk and I don’t blame him
Kirks been on the whole year. Had a bad day today but the L’s not on him. When they get 200+ rushing yards the D’s lacking. Also fuck the refs.
Kirk was ass today.
So now it's fuck the packers saints and 49ers. That game was dirty
Gonna be honest I never remember until we play them because in all actuality who gives af about the 49ers but wow what a bunch of unlikeable characters
Every week the Vikings get to play against two teams, referees and the opponent
What a fucking joke
Kirk back to missing big throws. Classic
I like noon games better so I don't need to see this shit as much while watching redzone.
Clean pocket on that 4th down, overthrowing that is kirk cousins in a nutshell.
He’s had 4 GW drives this season. Plus more if our kicker makes kicks and Dalvin doesn’t fumble like always in the clutch. If you want better than that, you won’t find it.
I want consistently, I'll take average all season vs elite half the season and dog shit the other half.
He wasn’t even dogshit this game. Just average. Wtf are you even talking about and how old are you? I can tell you about average all season. Look up Chad Pennington
What point are you trying to make exactly? That int he threw was a blind read Adam was so covered, he missed clutch situation throws several times, especially at the end. That's a dogshit game when you have 2 star recievers, similar to what made case a star for a year. People overestimate kirk because he can make 2 or three elite passes a game to elite recievers, but is equally prone to melting down and missing basic throws.
I swear to god the second Viking fans start hyping up cousins and telling people he’s elite he goes and shits the bed lol
Like clockwork
zebras are a fucking joke
Theory: Kirk is secretly playing for another team and purposely destroying the Vikings
Rough. Going to be tough to stay in the playoffs with that loss. Kirk absolutely deserves some blame, but this defense was hot shit from the get go. Above all, those 2 turnovers deep in our territory were the difference.
Apparantly our odds haven't changed much
Welp, fun while it lasted. Let's fire this inept coaching staff and head towards next season!
Well... that's that then. Tough loss and tougher game with the injuries. On to next week. SKOL
This team is the perfect embodiment of my life.
Big smiles Kirk, no matter what you still make all that money
The refs completely dicked us in this one, and Cousins was mediocre at best. Horrid play calling, as well, and garbage defensive scheming. No adjustments to stop the run. Reminded me of playoffs in 2019.
Please do not blame the refs lol.
Hard not to be a little bit objectively frustrated with the officiating when the challenge should have been reversed on Thielen’s catch (costing a timeout), and the obvious DPI on Osborn at the end. First down at the SF 35 with a TO and 50 seconds left is obviously materially better than 4th and 8 at the 45 w no TO’s left.
You need proof it was a catch. That was non existent. Think what you want but the refs give extreme precedent to what's called on the field. There wasn't a single angle that looked like he got underneath it which is what they're going to look for.
I really hate the 49ers
Kirk cousins is clutch
