I was waiting for the update from Chuck.
Shockingly he is late to the party on this one. I wonder why?

Re: Weird
Kirk Cousins already labeled a ‘flop’ with Vikings
Chris Roling
While the Redskins were beating the New York Giants to keep a hold on the NFC East over the weekend, Cousins was going down at home against the New Orleans Saints, 30-20.
The Vikings are now 4-3-1, and while Cousins has completed 70.7 percent of his passes, he’s averaging a career-worst 7.39 yards per attempt with 16 touchdowns and four interceptions.
The performance is enough for Bleacher Report’s Mike Freeman to label Cousins an “$84 Million Flop.”
“Cousins is paid the kind of money he’s paid for moments like these,” Freeman wrote. “To stare down Drew Brees. To win a big game at home. To transform the season.”
Fair enough. The Vikings doled out big cash for Cousins in the hopes of elite play, especially with talents like Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs around him – weapons that made it to the conference title game last season.
Instead, the Vikings are little more than a .500 team while the Redskins are 5-2. Cousins’ numbers haven’t changed much, and at least for now, it seems the Washington front office made the right call.

We've improved 11 spots from last year and you've fallen from #1.
That's a big win for the Packers and yet you're proud of it for some reason. Well the reason is you're not very smart.

Hey moron, read the OP. You will read it and instantly think to yourself "wow, I'm an idiot Kirk doesn't play defense and my post is literally so off topic that people might think my iq is less than 60."JPM wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 8:21 pm Kirk Cousins already labeled a ‘flop’ with Vikings

Re: Weird
I guess that's the boy's m.o. now. Somebody makes comments during the game about what footballs are being batted and where the Vikings rank defensively. Then run in here and make a thread about it.
Is there ever an original thought or observation about the Vikings? In lieu of copy and paste ideas from sports websites and play by play announcers?

Speaking of playoffs. We know, historically, you're team can't handle success, so it's probably best that they've started the season in disappointing fashion.
Zimmer seems to need that underdog role to get his team ready to play.

It's been 32 years since one of MN's four major sports teams has been to the Championship/Superbowl.
Every single year is failure until we win one. 4 teams, 32 years. That's roughly 128 consecutive failed seasons.

I'll take the playoffs as a positive vs missing the playoffs yet in some rankings improving over previous year where they missed the playoffs again.
Dont' care if the vikings are ranked by the media at whatever as long as they make the playoffs and have a shot at the SB.
