Sam Darnold, Kirk Cousins go opposite directions in Week 14 | Chris Simms Unbuttoned | NFL on NBC

[@basedkirby_2604]

The entire media just seems to forget Minnesota and Detroit game was basically split down the middle stats wise and it took a last minute field goal for Detroit to win the same as they did with the Packers yet the Packers get praises for how they took Detroit to the wire and the media just pretends that Vikings game didn’t exist 😂 insane

[@jeffkeller589]

Tbh I want it to stay that way! As soon as people start believing in us, we end up failing. Not to mention it feels good proving the haters wrong 💜💛

[@onomatopoeia162003]

Probably why we are 0-4 in the SB history and we always choke when it matters. 😭

[@CU.COMEDY]

thats what infuriates me the most! it was such an even game!! and we got written off, but love and the packers are proven contenders for barely losing!! this team is rounding into form and should be taken very serious going into the playoffs

[@GusbusGaming]

The Vikings needed 1 first down to beat the Lions. The gap the media thinks is there is nonexistent especially with the Lions banged up defense.

[@Rectify21]

We have the best wide receiver duo in the league paired with a quarterback starting to blossom. League is on notice.

[@westb1028]

And we have an even better qb waiting in the wings that will be on a rookie qb for 4 more years! Vikings will be soooooooo good for so long!

[@Scrambler10]

The Vikings have gone farther than the sports media, fans (including myself) thought they'd go & I'm enjoying the ride. No matter how this season ends I'm proud of this team💜💛

[@matthewwhite4505]

Jordan love throwing prayers off his back foot constantly but somehow still people think the Packers are better than Minnesota

[@DatDamnLlama]

Sam Darnold is a better Quarterback than Jordan Love. Period.

[@ACMEpowersports]

Media bias towards the Packers never stops. Vikings already beat them and are two games ahead. 🤷‍♂️

[@Hengel_Andrews]

@@ACMEpowersportshere’s the problem, who is going to be the QB for the Vikings next season? The Vikings signed QB that hadn’t looked like a QB in 6 years to be their bridge QB. Then in training camp the Vikings realize their draft QB can’t throw as if they never watched tape and only looked in Michigan’s win loss column. The guy they were hoping to play bad enough to justify putting McCarthy out there by mid season is clearly too good. A healthy McCarthy wouldn’t have seen the field this season or next. Knowing McCarthy needs years to fix, they go out and sign Daniel Jones. The plan is that Daniel Jones will play bad enough to put McCarthy out there by mid season. Vikings know Daniel Jones can only win with a team that: limits his passing to under 20 attempts, lean on the running game which he will be a part and have a great defense. Knowing the Vikings isn’t built like that Daniel Jones will be ousted for McCarthy who has only won by: limiting his passing to under 20 attempts, lean on the running game which he will be a part and have a great defense. 👆 those things are why Vikings aren’t as respected as the Packers. Vikings didn’t sign Darnold to win, but now they’re winning they want their wins to be respected?

[@nicstevens6499]

Funny.. the guy wins 6 games in a row some close and then throws for 5 TD's and as close to perfect as you can and he still gets doubts... Ummm no... If you get today's Sam Darnold Vikes win every game clearly...

[@brandonblock288]

He's had 2 or 3 bad games all year and people still act like he shouldn't be a starter. Look what he's doing hid his name and replace it with Mahomes and it would be a different story.

[@nicstevens6499]

@@brandonblock288 I don't care what anybody says... Maybe if he loses the next 4 games I get off the wagon.. but if he wins out or wins 2 or 3 and gets us a playoff win or 2 I have no idea how Vikes don't find a way to keep him. Some kid that was good in college football (where they ran the ball all day) does not impress anybody... Great college QB's do not equate to great NFL. Tim Tebow anybody...? Johnny Menzel...?

[@davidwilkins5932]

The defense was rather marginal yesterday. The Falcons had their way with us on the ground, especially. Their 2-point play was a no-brainer, because they were moving the ball at will. And there have been weaknesses ever since the last half of the Packers game. I’m glad he’s here, but I think there’s some excess mythology, and KO will be smart in replacing him when the time comes.

Feel sorry for Cousins. Not because he lost, but because it looks like he may be finished which is sad because he was a gamer.

[@todayisanewday7]

I dont blame you guys on the predictions at all with darnold . Nobody wouldve thought he would be doing this good. Very cool he is now. Hopefully he can keep it up.

[@DatDamnLlama]

Huh? It was their zone defense that was picked apart. They switched to man vs the cardinals and shut them down. They switched to man vs Cousins and shut him down.

[@NewDr3w]

Thank you! Was looking for a comment in this!

[@Ughhum]

National media is just so bad. When they talk about teams you follow closely, it's obvious they have such a small knowledge of teams not named the lions, bills, eagle, and chiefs.

[@brandonblock288]

Flores said it himself, you want to play man but you won't survive playing only man 17 games a year.

[@martinolson761]

As a Vikes fan I thought the Falcons O-line did a good job vs. the Vikes blitzes...Our D in general did not have a good day. The offense was the star in this game! SKOL!

[@Plaz1398]

It seems like as soon as they dialed back the hurry up offense and slowed the game down a bit this is when he started to come out

[@westb1028]

Darnold does exactly what KOC asks of him. If he doesn’t throw much to Jefferson, it was usually because he wasn’t supposed to in those plays.

[@jimbodavis1944]

Moving the ball between the 20s is Kirk’s strength and weakness because he gets the stats, but doesn’t seal the deal - unless it’s a guaranteed fat contract; he’s one of the best at sealing those deals.

[@rictic1929]

I guess Florio will be back on the bandwagon with the Vikes being his number 1 team again.

[@puppethound]

Vikings play well and the entire video was them dissecting Kirk Cousins and how bad he was and has always been. He is a great QB when things stay on script, but as soon as he has to improvise, its over. The Vikings faithful have seen this Kirk Cousins before and been on the losing end, but thankfully, no more. Every top player needs to get Kirk's agent on the phone. This dude has fleeced the NFL out on millions for an average winning QB 😂 So glad Cousins is somebody else's problem now.

[@deepwaterwalk]

Cousins has definitely hit a wall. Hard to tell if it's Father Time or something that has gone awry in the communication between him and their OC Robinson, or something else. It's ugly, though.

[@dbb484]

When things go bad for Kirk he needs a STRONG support system. koc Was Kirk's support system. He doesn't have that anymore and you're seeing it. Even with KOC he still got too into his own head. Kirk's perfection is his greatest attribute but also a significant downfall

[@richborn6700]

Between KOC making his play style shine and his Achilles injury, Father Time is watching him on the sideline sitting next to Penix

[@richborn6700]

If Dallas Turner doesn't get another snap this season, that sack on Kirk was worth his rookie year alone.

[@shawnjohnson9763]

It wasn't Turner who sacked Cousins.

[@ryandonovan5205]

Give Sam a cowboy hat and you have Red Head Redemption

[@Asgard2208]

I think you guys need to watch one of KOC's post-game speeches. He's building a culture there, and they're gonna fight for each other in a way I haven't seen in this team before. If they avoid the injuries I think they can go punch for punch with everyone, including Detroit and the Eagles. Any given Sunday, remember.

[@turbo_lander7301]

Cousins still has it but I think he and and his OC aren't on the same page.

What if Minnesota wins the Superbowl this year do the Vikings sign Darold to a long term..maybe 3 years

[@bobcastelline8960]

Kirk Cousins pissed off? Get real. Kirk is the self-described CEO on the field. CEOs don’t get pissed off. CEOs are methodical. Emotionless. Robotic. They thrive on spreadsheets and charts and P&Ls. Concerned? Sure. Irritated? Maybe. Pissed off? Never. Which is exactly what’s wrong with him. Sam is the man.

[@bdubswestwoodrep204]

[@F.W.ENDER.75]

Hey Simms someone's talking ...SHUT UP.

[@richardoconnell3214]

I booed Cousins because he got paid a bunch of money and did NOTHING! Not because he took Atlanta's offer. I wanted Cousins gone and I'm glad!

[@ryan-x3r]

Kirk was always really good at the scripted first drive but then.....

[@gunerz3146]

We had 4 turnovers you just simply arent gonna win many games with that many turnovers idgaf how good your team is. Kirk will remain the starter no matter what unfortunately and we will miss the playoffs. I just hope he is one and done and we just move on i like kirk as a person but as a player ive lost all faith these losses have undone all the good this season and even if we make it into the playoffs we are gonna get smacked. And penix can make those throws kirk cant and he can run🤷🏾‍♂️

Vikings are better than the Packers, period. Neither of them are on the same level as a healthy Lions team though.
