This is a real tough one for the team

I might have bet on the Vikings next week with Cousins, but I agree everything is setting-up for an emotional let-down minimally. 

4 wins today? Probably 6 for the year now. ITs not like the D is very stout either. 

Is what it is now...

Even considering emotions of the moment, that is pretty harsh commentary for a rookie QB that has not played but a few snaps in this league.  What happened today with Kirk's injury truly sucks, but part of the game.  We had a solid run with a really good and durable QB.  I see no reason to take a giant dump on Hall.  I am intrigued to see what he can do at this point.  Did any of you see the Levis's game today coming or did that catch you by surprise?  Let's see what Hall can do.  I am optimistic, not about winning the division and getting the the SB, but rather seeing if the drop off is minimal and he shows promise.  He is much more athletic than Kirk and was a pretty damn accurate passer in college, so I hope the transition is smoother than a lot of people think it will be.  As always, we shall see.  Hope is all we have right now until we see things take shape.  I think Hall is better that Ridder on the team you think will smoke us next week.  We shall see....

Ok preseason was against the scrubs too. They picked Hall for a reason, they have to give him a shot. There are no really good options to pick up (other than Brady or Brissett, maybe Dalton). It is what it is. This is the reality now. 

In fact it wouldn’t surprise me if they sign Colt McCoy and toss him out there after 3 days learning our offense as opposed to letting Hall get turned inside out. 

Mark my words…if they march Hall out there for the remainder of the season, they are absolutely knowingly tanking

oh i agree 100%. Ain’t no one coming in, learning this system and personnel, and saving this season. 

I’m just saying that Jaren Hall showed nothing against the scrubs he played against in the preseason that should lead anyone to believe he’s going to remotely have any success against first stringers. I’m honestly not a Kwesi hater, but the jury is still out on his player evaluation skills. 

As a back-up QB I would give Hall a 90% chance of beating one team in the NFL, guess which one.

Are you talking on our schedule?? Because I honestly don’t see another win on our schedule. 

As the teams currently sit, I'd say we might have a puncher’s chance against the Giants or maybe Arizona. 

Atlanta’s defense is going to absolutely murder Jaren next week. They will throw 10 in the box and dare the Vikings to put the game on his shoulders.  If the Vikings can get in field goal range at any point they’ll be lucky

This is my biggest fear. Teams used to stack 10 in the box when the Vikings had Adrian because the QB play was shit. I see teams stacking up against the run and daring the Vikings to let Hall beat them.

It could be ugly.

lol. I was honestly gonna say that. 

Ok, let's get serious here, the chances that Hall throws for 300 yards, 3 TDs, no fumbles, and no interceptions against the Falcons next week;I would say one in a million.

Pretty conservative on the odds there. You have one Brock Purdy happen and everyone forgets the likes of Spurgeon Wynn and Joe Webb

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.

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.

I don't get the sentiment. Before the injury, Mullens looked at least like he knew which direction the end zone was. Throwing Hall in there for the rest of the season smells like the Josh Freeman fiasco. 

Wow...quick, give up, before the line gets too long!

Sad, just plain sad.

Bruh…Kirk was literally the offense. He’s easily the second best QB in Vikings history…and he’s toast. The season is effectively over.
