My perspective is whether our QB is possibly tampering with his role and responsibility to the team.
It should be noted those recent mistakes, aren’t mistakes, they appear to be purposely made to devalue our team.
Just saying, the backup QB came in and immediately changed the energy of the game…. How so?
I’m honestly not seeing it that way. I think mistakes happen, and there’s not much a QB can do when a ball is deflected, except hope and pray for the least troublesome impact. We’ve talked about footing for receivers and other players, but footwork is incredibly important for quarterbacks.
Kirk has been a high achiever at most things he’s attempted, and the amount of work he puts in behind the scenes would impress everyone if we’re able to pull back the curtain on it at some point.
Nick Mullens had a nice showing, for sure, and good for him because of what he’s invested into being Minnesota’s backup QB, but the circumstances of the game were a little different at that point.
As great as this season has been overall, losing to both Dallas and Green Bay by historic numbers in the same season will never sit well with Vikings fans. Those two teams represent our most bitter rivalries, and Coach O’Connell has to coach like he understands that. To this day, I still think of Drew Pearson instead of the Holy Virgin Mother when I hear the term “Hail Mary.”
This Vikings team needs to toughen up now, stop giving early up early insurmountable leads, and remind themselves the blood of Norsemen runs through their veins.
And if that isn’t enough motivation, consider putting Aaron Rodgers post-game interviews on a loop to play in the locker room as he smugly dismisses JJ, talks about how GB, once 4-8, is “now pointed in the right direction and has their destiny in their own hands” etc. Just one man’s opinion but wiping that smug look off his face and pushing it into the ground on a sack or two should be enough motivation for any Viking fan or player.
Earlier this season, Special Teams Coordinator Matt Daniels opened one of his media sessions by asking reporters which feeling is stronger between loving to win or hating to lose. It was a rhetorical way to start one of his usually great podium sessions.
Maybe the answer for Vikings fans is it depends on the opponent in each scenario? Were any of the 11 wins (not including against Green Bay) loved more than the losses to Dallas and at Green Bay were hated?
I don’t know Aaron Rodgers and have never been in an interview room with…
