I like Norse Code for a Vikings podcast, Arif Hasan is a really smart guy who balances player analysis with data nerd poo poo, but he’s also an extremely online debate nerd and after a decade of recording the show has a solid buildup of in-jokes/schticks, so you kinda have to be okay with a lot of references to bee racism and hating turkey at Thanksgiving.

I'm sorry to see it happen but everyone knew it had to. It's gonna be weird to see him in a different uniform. It would be funny if he and Rodgers went to the Jets.

Yeah, it’d be cool to see him come back for a one day signing whenever he does call it quits, his local boy walk-on rags-to-roster story is great, but he just ain’t worth the money for what he offers these days, especially with Osborn emerging to back up Jefferson.

Indefinite suspensions are for betting on NFL games, shorter ones are for betting on something other than the NFL but doing so from an NFL facility

So does Arizona’s refusal to do daylight savings time put them at a competitive advantage or disadvantage in the time zone changing category? This could be making all the difference!

All happening while the Packers win a Superbowl.
What a great time.

I was also gonna throw in Percy Harvin’s mercurial stint but honestly it lasted longer than I remembered, everything from exploding as an amazing player to the migraine/marijuana saga to throwing a weight at Leslie Frazier kind of compressed into those same 2 years in my brain rather than 4 total

The Vikings would have been 3-1 or 4-0 going into yesterday's game if it wasn't for all the turnovers inside the opponent's 30. If you just assume 3 points on each turnover inside the 30 then it changes TB to a 3 point win, LAC to a 2 point win, and sends the Eagles game to overtime. You can also add +6 to that Panther's game and suddenly oh look it's not close at the end anymore. The defense is much better than last year so far, they're not even in the bottom ten by most of the major metrics (points, yards/game, etc) when they were bottom five in most of them last year. Hell, their rushing yards allowed per game is actually middle of the pack right now even with that Eagles game.

Like obviously you can't discount those mistakes because they're Part Of The Game but it's also unsustainably bad and if you normalize it out over time they're probably a ten or eleven win team.

People have said it since week 1 but the Vikings ending the year at 4-13 with a positive point differential would be so utterly on brand and perfect

I hope the Vikings never tank because A. Tanking is universally miserable to watch and destroys an organization from a motivation standpoint, B. I'd rather gamble on making a fluke playoff run than the bigger gamble of a draft pick, and C. More importantly, the rest of the team is REALLY solid right now. In particular we have a really good O-line, which can seriously elevate even a mediocre quarterback, along with excellent passing weapons and a defense that appears to be doing its job.

Yeah, I figure worst case scenario they’re an okay team that can present a bigger obstacle than expected or even surprise and spoil another team’s run, and who doesn’t want to mess up someone else’s week for laughs. 49ers, looking at you!

Also, let’s be fair, Kirk’s competence has certainly helped the Vikings, but he’s hardly defined them during his tenure, Rodgers is a Hall of Fame quarterback who spent over a decade terrorizing the NFC North

He’s also shown less than even Love did. He has been asked to do so little that everything is just pure projection. Love also sat three years and still only out together a half of season of good play. Long way to go before he’s a model.

He’s also a tremendous dork.

Be fair, being a massive goober has been an integral trait of the best quarterbacks in NFL history

Also it wasn’t that long ago the Vikings (albeit under another regime) made due with a Frankensteinian amalgamation of the likes of Case Keenum and Sam Bradford, might not make a turd sparkle but they can probably gussy Darnold up a little bit
