00:00
Uh, Maranci, what'd you think of that, uh, performance by the Vikings last night?
00:05
Uh, I'm not surprised, uh, what happened last night.
00:08
It was a continuation from the Detroit Lion game the week before.
00:13
When you get absolutely drilled like that, like, you know, absolutely like shell shock
00:19
drilled like that.
00:20
It's incredibly tough to turn it around the next week.
00:22
It like, especially in a playoff game, right?
00:25
I mean, their, their confidence was rattled.
00:27
That was a big time beat down they took and it just continued.
00:30
I mean, last night you could argue was even worse, uh, than, than the week before Sam
00:35
Darnold's going to be the target head coaches and quarterbacks.
00:39
You know, you want to get the glory and the girls, you're going to get the, uh, you're
00:42
going to get the blank, uh, when teams lose after, but it was just a collective collapse
00:47
from the Minnesota Vikings.
00:49
They tapped out pretty early in the game.
00:51
Like the, the Minnesota Viking defenders, you could tell their frustration kicked in
00:56
by the end of the, you know, by midway through the second quarter, they were already beaten
00:59
down at worn out.
01:00
Right.
01:01
You can see Jefferson sitting alone by himself early in the football game.
01:06
It was just a flat out continuation, uh, from last week.
01:10
You know, like I said, I'm not surprised I was on the Rams and it's one of the few
01:14
games, um, I got right.
01:16
Uh, I guess I was three and three when it was all said and done, but that's not good
01:19
enough.
01:20
Uh, so we were on the Rams last night, but I'm not surprised.
01:23
Listen, you've been around a long time.
01:24
When's the last time the Minnesota Vikings won a big football game?
01:27
With Bud Grant.
01:29
Never exactly what they won the NFC and then the seventies.
01:33
Yeah.
01:33
They made four Superbowls in the seventies with Frank Tarkenton and Bud Grant, et cetera.
01:37
They were like, they were like the bills.
01:39
They didn't do it four years in a row, but they were like the bills before the bills,
01:42
you know, making and losing.
01:43
But since then Scott going back, I remember, you know, when I was a teenager and Lawrence
01:48
Taylor and the, the giants played them in like a coffer championship game with a divisional
01:53
round outdoors in the cold.
01:55
It was like 41, nothing.
01:57
Like how many times we've seen the Vikings just get lit up.
02:00
They either get like lit up when they're not supposed to win.
02:04
Cause let's be, that's another thing with the Vikings guys.
02:06
Let's not forget their wind total this year was six and a half.
02:10
Okay.
02:11
Their wind total was six and a half.
02:13
So it was a hell of a year for them, right?
02:15
They're not a Superbowl caliber football team expectations, but you know, they're,
02:22
but they're not a Superbowl team.
02:23
Scott, they're rebuilding team.
02:24
They weren't supposed to be this good.
02:26
The Chicago bears had a higher wind total than they did this year.
02:30
Right.
02:30
So they, they exceeded expectations.
02:32
You're not going to win a Superbowl.
02:34
Sam Darnold is your quarterback.
02:35
I don't think anybody's thought that maybe you'd like to win a game or two along the
02:38
way, but what happens to him now?
02:43
Is he a backup again now?
02:45
Yeah.
02:46
You know what?
02:47
He's yeah.
02:47
No one.
02:48
I don't think anyone he's getting signed.
02:50
Let's not kid ourselves, right?
02:52
He's getting signed.
02:53
I mean, look, he's about to get replaced by Daniel Jones.
02:57
I mean, word on the street is the Vikings and to keep Daniel Jones, let Darnold go.
03:02
And it'll be JJ McCarthy and JJ McCarthy can't beat Daniel Jones out.
03:05
Then they got a problem, right?
03:07
So I don't know, Scott Darnold will end up, you know what I mean?
03:10
On the Browns, the Jets, the Raiders, another one of these mediocre type of teams.
03:15
It'll get desperate for a quarterback and, or somebody will get hurt.
03:19
He had his, you know, he cost himself a lot of money though.
03:22
There's no, no, no dispute.
03:23
I mean, if they would have won last week, they win right now.
03:26
Suddenly Darnold's a hot property.
