This one truly puts a fork in the year. So tough on the staff and team...

Hell, I'm sad  :s

I'm sad too. Beating GB is normally one of the funnest days of the year-- especially domination like we saw today. But this is a crusher.
Kirk is polarizing due to his money and the lack of playoff wins but the fact is he's been a damn good player for the Vikings for a long time. He will be sorely, sorely missed on the field and it sounds like in the locker room too.
Now I know how Jets fans feel. Pain.

This one is tough! I like Kirk, not just as a player. I think he’s a good dude.
I had just climbed back into watching them live again. Watched the Monday night game, and today’s. Previous games I had just watched highlights. Work schedule usually doesn’t let me watch the games live.

Give the ball to Jaren Hall and let him do it. We probably win 2-3 more games this year. Puts us squarely in the 10-12 draft range.

If Hall is the QB, we dont win another game.

I’m sick about this. Nobody could have seen this happening, he’s been such an iron man. My brother texted me right after the injury and said it’s gotta behis Achilles. I tried to believe it was a bad ankle sprain, but when a player can’t put any weight on a leg that suffered a noncontact injury you know it’s gotta be bad.

Stupid things happen every game. We’ll figure out how to screw it up and miss out on a decent QB prospect.

It especially hurts coming off that huge win Monday night with Cousins playing what may have been his best game as a Vike and putting us back into the playoff hunt.  We will never know what may have been this year.

If they think he has a future,   you give him a shot,   if you dont think he has a future,   you roll with him regardless because although you may lose a few more,  you are looking towards the future anyway.

Agree, gotta sit down and go through the O playbook, and work out the pass plays he feels most comfortable with.  See how he does, if progressing take the training wheels off and expand the playbook with each success.  Move the pocket & play action. Guess we will find out a lot about KOC also in all this mess

You certainly can’t be accused of tanking anymore. Almost too bad we won what we already did. 4-6 wins puts us down in the 10s on draft day.

Well Sticky it's time to see if wanting to jump the shark on Jaren Hall was the right instinct.  Personally I'm interested to see what he can (or can't) do.

It's crazy,   I said Tuesday that the Monday night win was likely our superbowl,  but after the way this game started,  I was falling back into the old feeling of hope... .and then.  As soon as they show the way his plant foot popped i knew what it was and started thinking about next year. 

It's sad,  maroon would have maybe gotten to serve me a big bowl of crow,   which I would have gladly accepted,  now I dont even know if he sees a rainbow at the end of this season.

But I do like watching kids get their shot,  so let's go Jaren!!!

 Football gods owe me, maybe Hall will turn into a HOF'er lol!

So the dipshits calling the game go on this long discussion about the ref/analyst that is having back surgery and isn't on the broadcast while Allen throws for a vital first down on 3rd and long....and never acknowledge it. I'm like WTF? I like that KOC had him throwing. And of ALL people, Darrisaw gives up that huge strip sack. Jaren looked like he was just about to uncork a deep one before getting blasted. 

Let's see what the kid's got. Fuck Nick Mullens. 

Jaren Hall

Jaren Hall is ass, and we don’t have a running game to hide/protect him. The Vikings are about to look like the Hawkeyes. I’ll bet everything in my FanDuel account we lose to the Falcons
