Skol from chicago 31-23 vikes
31 13 vikes
Let's not forget also a revenge game from 99 nfc championship game ha ha why not it is the falcons! That game still hurts go vikes
I will be happy when we don't talk about kirko anymore. Yesterday's news
Good morning from Pa. beat those birds, lets go !!
Me too, but dont worry, last time we play against him. And they wont play in the Playoffs after tommorrow.
lol – please…….
Wear #84 on Sunday!!!
The QB figuring it out at the line is only half the battle. The scheme needs to have hot routes to counter it with receivers who know where to be. Falcons have a new OC. The system is new for everyone over on that side. That's a legit advantage for any defenses that come against them this season.
Flores should do well against them this week.
I want a game without a turnover!
I honestly WOULD be shocked if the Falcons won this game. Kirk physically cannot perform at the level he needs to in order to get around this Vikings defense. The only way the Falcons pull out a win is if they switch to Penix early enough in the game, and the Vikings not just crap the bed, but go full on diarrhea.
Further, people keep talking about the Kirk Revenge Game. What about the Vikings Revenge Game? For all of the dollars that Kirk took from the team, preventing it from having the defensive pieces necessary for a proper run in 2022? Because that is what this particular defense represents: what it could have been had Kirk ever given a team friendly deal in his long NFL career.
Nah fam, this has karma going one way, and one way only: towards Kirk. Not towards the Vikings, an organization that has been very good to him – even giving him the offensive pieces and coaches to completely turn around the narrative of his whole career. But one narrative piece needs to be, and will be, put to rest here with this one game: Kirk made too much money in his career. And this defense will prove it.
I want a blowout win. I need a game where I am not stressed at all during the game. Make it happen KOC!
If you guys remember cousins 1st year with the vikings it wasn't great the vikings had super bowl expectations cousins 1st year it took time to get kirk going I wouldn't be surprised if cousins has a big game it's do or die for him
He didn't practice against Flores defense, he would have practiced against scout teams.
Vikings win but don’t cover the spread. 28-24 good guys.
Dallas Turner going off this game. 4 sacks incoming for him. Bye bye Statue Kirk!
Did you just say you wouldn’t be surprised if the Vikings lost? Both of you guys are some Debbie downer really! You should be ashamed of yourself even saying something like that.
Hot take penix will have playing time
Free McGlothern!!!!!
I disagree with your take about Kirk being able to read the Flores defense. In fact he hasn’t played against this defense in practice and the looks will not be similar to what he’s seen before. Yes I also agree he won’t be confused the whole game. But you’re underestimating the work that goes into Flores’ job. It’s literally his mission to switch up the game plan not only every year but every week and I haven’t mentioned the fact that the roster is totally different now. Sure Kirk’s got the skill set to read defenses and call pressures but he’s got no special advantage just because he played for us before. This is just a bad talking point created by media
I don't understand all the crying in the comments whenever they bring up kirk. If you are a true vikings fan, it should make you happy whenever we hear news that old kirko is doing bad. That means we, as a franchise, made the right choice, and that should make you feel good. Seems like most of you just want kirk to do good just so you can say that you were right and have you aha moment. I understand the support when he was on our team, but he's gone, so stop being soft.
After last weeks win, I got Vikings by one.
Vikes is the 3rd most public team. No one thinks Noodle arm has a chance…. Daddy Kirk going home where he owned the sad Vikings for X years. He still owns yall. Sad
Dex is gonna hit big this week on his "three sheets to the wind" picks!
Vikings 45-14. Wagons rolling. Skol bitches . Skol!
I'm predicting no sacks but 3 pressure INTs
A passer rating of 64.5 when pressured is better than Fran Tarkenton's career postseason passer rating of 58.6.
You guys would have judged Tarkenton and Bud Grant and Jim Finks more harshly than you think.
I don’t want to pay Sam Darnold, a boatload of cash, but he’s everything we’ve been asking for for the past couple years
Kirk can be dangerous. Remember Kirko Chains?
“After last night” in reference to the Lions game. C’Mon Mackey, you’re not some rookie CB about to make his first start. Get your head in the game it’s Kirko week brotha!
5 1/2 is an awful big spread for a team that plays down to the wire on a weekly basis.
The Vikings traditionally play DOWN to lesser opponents even KOC's teams so I expect a cardiac almost total implosion game on Sunday but we will win by 3 points.
Lions drop one or two games and vikes finish out 15-2. Lions are cooked unless they score 35 a game
Penix taking over at us bank stadium would be sugar sweet. Take the money and sit daawn
As frustrated as we were with Moreau's penalties, he at least was stuck like glue to his man! Looking forward to some Nudie time too….
