Campbell’s stupidity was eventually going to catch up with him

Sorry but watching both these games , the Vikings ownership should be livid.

Well the commanders thoroughly whooped Detroits and Goffs butt

Washington gets a good powerful back in free agency look out - Chubba Hubbard if Carolina is stupid enough to let him go

Washington has a good O Line- the Kid was lucky to go there- Next year will be tougher as Teams will have film on him- Cant play against him without putting a spy on him

I like Daniels- but the kid has to hit the Gym if he wants to run and bulk up on Protein Shakes - Otherwise hes gonna take a hit while running from abig stud Middle Linebacker and Separate his Shoulder

It's really kinda funny how everything turned out😂, this is just the reason why you can't take anything for granted. .

There's another way to look at the QB thing though. Allen, Jackson et al, cannot beat Mahomes in the playoffs. The AFC is boring.... unless and until the Chiefs lose. The NFC is far more interesting. Daniels.... yeah when I watch him he looks like the next dynasty QB, but history is not kind to running QBs in Super Bowls. Pocket passers tend to win them all. (Mahomes maybe being a 'hybrid') Regarding replay... they already have auto review for scoring plays (and turnovers). They should do auto review for any penalty that extends a drive that would've otherwise stalled. Like a 3rd and 10 incomplete that gets extended by a flag... or especially a 4th down failed conversion extended by a flag. Yes, that still allows for bad penalties on 1st and 2nd downs, but it's those stupid drive-revivers that ruin the experience and make people feel like something is rigged.

Dan Orlovsky will say 1 of the sacks is stroud’s fault if they have the same agent

Tale of the tape...build the trenches and very athletic QB. So simple, right?

Daniels will be an all time great. He might be pushing Mahomes for the best in the league soon.

Daniels is a rookie and has played great in his first 2 playoff games while Darnold is a 5 year veteran and he pissed down his legs in the same situation. I believe that physical talent or Arm talent is great but doesn't matter if you don't have a QB that steps up in the big moments. I watched Cousins shrink in big moments not interested in watching Darnold do the same any longer

KOC is a ONE TRICK PONY!!!!!!!!!! He will never win a championship if he doesn't find a counterpunch to the long developing passing game downfield. Three years and NO running game. Three years and NO screen game. Three years and no short yardage or goal line run game AT ALL. Three years and NO short quick passing game. He's great at what he's great at but also terrible at everything else!

Notice all the quick pass plays the Redskins used. KOC please take notice!

Matt, interested in your view on analytics saying downfield passing being more successful but that balanced attack with shorter passing and solid running game is winning in playoffs

Matt , darnolds hich time is way to slow he can't do a quick passing game slow feet very similar to kirk.

Matthew is the typical pundit who is a slave to recency bias. Daniels is a nice quarterback. But that team had five losses this year. And looked pretty average to poor most of the year. I think it’s a little too early for Matthew to put him in the Hall of Fame.

Aaron Glen's inability or unwillingness to change the gameplan when it was so blatantly obvious to anyone with a brain cell that the blitz was gonna get them beat, thats what suprised me the most.

It was a weak division….period.

Anyone but Philly and KC at this point, won't watch those two teams.

Kinda humorous how every single week we said "these defensive injuries have gotta hurt them at some point" and just when we all said "okay i guess it just doesnt matter and theyre gonna win anyway" it mattered. They could have put a random fan on the field and im not sure the Lions would have been able to tackle them.

I was always surprised that everyone thought Washington was going to get annihilated, I think everyone forgot because of the Vikings game how bad the lions defense was at the end of the year

Obviously, the NFC North was a fraud. Completely overrated. Now you know just how bad the Vikings really were. Another fraudulent team another fraudulent season. So hard to root for a team that always embarrasses you.

Lions game was a top 5 hate watch in my fan career.

You should ve on NFL network. Compelling well grounded takes.

Yeah, all The Vikings. Losses do feel a little different depending how far they were. In 2009 against the saints I cried 😢 that game really hurt

Too many defensive injuries.

This makes our loss look worse, Lions defense was terrible before us and after.

Im not impressed with Dan Campbell. The Coordinators are more responsible for this team's successs rather then that sniveling Crybaby whos only job is deciding what to do on 4th down.

We could have beaten the Washington commanders yesterday!

I knew it wasn’t going to happen, but I wanted to give away the house for Daniels. He just felt built for big game football

Sam Darnold's last two games may have cost him money but not to the extent where he won't be able to get Starter money (and a guarantee to be the STARTING QB) elsewhere. Sam is walking. Let's face that fact and focus on McCarthy going forward.

Mathew, your take on review is spot on but I also appreciate what you brought up how the pattern of this playoff ball when then D line is mashing the O line and the QB is getting killed. Your take that they all are different when they are always under stress , even the so called good ones. Good takes today

Lions were thinking they were playing Sam Darnold seeing Ghosts again. Sorry not this time.

That Jayden Daniels is pretty good at football.

Jayden Daniels has the "it" factor. Smooth, calm and decisive.

The Vikings did not get the #1 seed in 2017, the Eagles did. The last time the Vikings came from the '98 season. In 2009, Saints had the #1.

Thoughts: Sign Drew Dalman (C) + Trey Smith (RG). Sign Jordan Mason (Rb) / Draft Jaydon Blue (RB) from UTexas in our later picks Sign Milton Williams (DT) / Draft (1st round) Walter Nolan (DT) Ole Miss. I think those changes in the Trenches / Run Game can change the attitude of this team and takes the stress off McCarthy

This was fantastic to watch. Detroit fans were getting a little too cocky for having won nothing of consequence. Welcome to the playoffs where you actually have to win.

if McCarthy is half as good as Daniels is,Viks have a franchise qb for a long time

Glorious game. So, so, so, so happy.

Wish we found a way to get Daniels last draft, but Washington wasn't biting no matter what.

One question Mathew, why didn't KOC see what every other team sees to score so much on the Lions? Will he grow going forward? Will he consider using a play caller?

never judge a team's ability by how they played against the Vikings or how the Vikings played against them..

HA HA HA HA HA!!!! As a VIKING FAN, I will be LAUGHING for the next 6 months! What ever happened to the BIG BAD Detroit PUSSYKATS who were "DESTINED" to go to the Super Bowl??? You won 1 MORE game than us, and now you can go home and eat your POP CORN! It's not GOFF'S fault, he was trying to impersonate SAM DARNOLD! 😂😂

They should have lost to Vikings and played the Ram. Let Vikings play Commander. They'll both have better chance

Detroit fans talked a LOT of shit all year just to win as many playoff games as the Vikings and Packers 🤣

Just imagine if lions had Mathew Stafford. Probably would have one sb by now

This hurts. When you grow up in Detroit and its suburbs, you live for that hope of good sports teams because the town is dead in everything else. You can't leave because our families have been here for 100 years, and we are too rooted to get out.

I’ve been listening to you, off and on, all season and usually, Purple Daily, because I like them also. Today, you’ve proved to me an automatic SUB. Your content is full of valuable information and is appreciated. Great podcast 🤓 you go, Mat. 👍 I’m just an arm chair old timer, from the Iron Range ( now, Northern Michigan ) and would just like to see “my team “ win a Super Bowl once before I die. P.S. - Fran Tarkington was the bomb. SKOL
