00:00Uh, Maranci, what'd you think of that, uh, performance by the Vikings last night?

00:05Uh, I'm not surprised, uh, what happened last night.

00:08It was a continuation from the Detroit Lion game the week before.

00:13When you get absolutely drilled like that, like, you know, absolutely like shell shock

00:19drilled like that.

00:20It's incredibly tough to turn it around the next week.

00:22It like, especially in a playoff game, right?

00:25I mean, their, their confidence was rattled.

00:27That was a big time beat down they took and it just continued.

00:30I mean, last night you could argue was even worse, uh, than, than the week before Sam

00:35Darnold's going to be the target head coaches and quarterbacks.

00:39You know, you want to get the glory and the girls, you're going to get the, uh, you're

00:42going to get the blank, uh, when teams lose after, but it was just a collective collapse

00:47from the Minnesota Vikings.

00:49They tapped out pretty early in the game.

00:51Like the, the Minnesota Viking defenders, you could tell their frustration kicked in

00:56by the end of the, you know, by midway through the second quarter, they were already beaten

00:59down at worn out.

01:00Right.

01:01You can see Jefferson sitting alone by himself early in the football game.

01:06It was just a flat out continuation, uh, from last week.

01:10You know, like I said, I'm not surprised I was on the Rams and it's one of the few

01:14games, um, I got right.

01:16Uh, I guess I was three and three when it was all said and done, but that's not good

01:19enough.

01:20Uh, so we were on the Rams last night, but I'm not surprised.

01:23Listen, you've been around a long time.

01:24When's the last time the Minnesota Vikings won a big football game?

01:27With Bud Grant.

01:29Never exactly what they won the NFC and then the seventies.

01:33Yeah.

01:33They made four Superbowls in the seventies with Frank Tarkenton and Bud Grant, et cetera.

01:37They were like, they were like the bills.

01:39They didn't do it four years in a row, but they were like the bills before the bills,

01:42you know, making and losing.

01:43But since then Scott going back, I remember, you know, when I was a teenager and Lawrence

01:48Taylor and the, the giants played them in like a coffer championship game with a divisional

01:53round outdoors in the cold.

01:55It was like 41, nothing.

01:57Like how many times we've seen the Vikings just get lit up.

02:00They either get like lit up when they're not supposed to win.

02:04Cause let's be, that's another thing with the Vikings guys.

02:06Let's not forget their wind total this year was six and a half.

02:10Okay.

02:11Their wind total was six and a half.

02:13So it was a hell of a year for them, right?

02:15They're not a Superbowl caliber football team expectations, but you know, they're,

02:22but they're not a Superbowl team.

02:23Scott, they're rebuilding team.

02:24They weren't supposed to be this good.

02:26The Chicago bears had a higher wind total than they did this year.

02:30Right.

02:30So they, they exceeded expectations.

02:32You're not going to win a Superbowl.

02:34Sam Darnold is your quarterback.

02:35I don't think anybody's thought that maybe you'd like to win a game or two along the

02:38way, but what happens to him now?

02:43Is he a backup again now?

02:45Yeah.

02:46You know what?

02:47He's yeah.

02:47No one.

02:48I don't think anyone he's getting signed.

02:50Let's not kid ourselves, right?

02:52He's getting signed.

02:53I mean, look, he's about to get replaced by Daniel Jones.

02:57I mean, word on the street is the Vikings and to keep Daniel Jones, let Darnold go.

03:02And it'll be JJ McCarthy and JJ McCarthy can't beat Daniel Jones out.

03:05Then they got a problem, right?

03:07So I don't know, Scott Darnold will end up, you know what I mean?

03:10On the Browns, the Jets, the Raiders, another one of these mediocre type of teams.

03:15It'll get desperate for a quarterback and, or somebody will get hurt.

03:19He had his, you know, he cost himself a lot of money though.

03:22There's no, no, no dispute.

03:23I mean, if they would have won last week, they win right now.

03:26Suddenly Darnold's a hot property.
