I would have loved to have seen a more competitive Vikings team than the one they'll field without AT and KC.
This could get pretty ugly with the D as inept as it is. It's shocking to me how bad it is vs what I see on paper.
Best thing that could happen to Vikings is go 0/2 the rest of the season. Another meaningless end of season home win vs Bears will cost this team the next years Fields or Slater.
I dont really care if they win a meaningless game, but do it in a way that gives the fans something. Play Mond, play Davis, let the fans see the future pieces and how they have developed over the season. I could care less to watch Cousins go out there and best an unmotivated bears D.
I sont buy the shit that Mond hasn't improved over the year and that Mannion is the better option, not for a second. I dont buy the theory that its better to keep him under wraps so people don't see what we've got from a competitive edge perspective like somebody mentioned.
This is Zimmer being Zimmer and doing it his way to the bitter fucking end. Honestly if a 3rd round rookie isn't ready to play some meaningless games at the end of the season that right there is reason enough to fire the coaching staff and or GM, somebody isn't doing their jobs.
But you're talking about Chicago, not Green Bay. That's a totally different story. Right now, the Vikings are still alive and they have to play that way. All these jabrones on Twitter clamoring for Mond and Davis because they "want to see the rookies" have already given up on the season. Vikings can't do that. Obviously. I mean it IS obvious, right? And you wouldn't want to root for a team that did.
I mean we bitch all year about a team that plays too conservatively, takes a knee with three timeouts, etc etc, but that's exactly what so many want the Vikings to do now.
They took a knee when they signed Mannion as Cousins back up.
I think there is some denial going on. Technically they are still alive but they don't completely control their own destiny, they pissed that away. There are things in play that have to happen and there is no guarantee of that. I guess the only positive of the game at Lambeau is it's going to be cold as fuck. I predicted 9 and 8, I just don't see it. I was also thinking about the last Bears game at home in 2018. Season on the line and they came out flat and fell apart. But this game with Mannion is going to get ugly. Unless they are able to hand off most of the game successfully and the defense shows up and shows out, I don't see anything good.

Not me. My king, Donny, told me the vaccine is safe and effective. I trust him
Donny is a dipshit.
Lol not to turn this political but if you think Trump is a dipshit, I'd love to hear what you think of Biden who has just presided over the worst first year in presidential history and continues to look like the village idiot most of us knew he was
Biden wasn't my first choice, or even second or third for that matter. But, at least he didn't say " this will just disappear by April" (of 2020) or suggest I chug Clorox or shove a uv light up my ass.
But hey, maybe that's just me.
Jfc
Who were your 1/st, 2nd, 3rd choices?
Whomever they were...they weren't Trump. Yes? So the default was Biden.
March 5, 2020, Wilmington, Delaware: “We’ve got to look at the history of what’s happened, the recent history of what’s happened in other countries. We saw what it takes to get this under control, and we still don’t have all the answers. The bottom line is listen to the docs, listen to the researchers, listen to the infectious disease specialist.”
June 17, Darby, Pennsylvania: “The pandemic is still here. It’s going to be here for the foreseeable future until we get it under control or until we have safe and proven widely available vaccine. COVID-19 is a fact of nature. We have to deal with this virus and everything that comes with it. We have to deal with it head on, honestly, tell the people the truth. … I have laid out baseline steps of what needs to be done from make it work checklists for a successful accountable recovery that I put out back in early April to the steps for a strong reopening that I released last week. It’s not rocket science.”
August 21, Milwaukee, Wisconsin: “As president the first step I will take would be to get control of the virus that has ruined so many lives because I understand something this president hasn’t from the beginning, we will never get our economy back on track, we will never get our kids safely back in schools, we’ll never have our lives back until we deal with this virus.”
October 3, Wilmington, Delaware: “And as we’ve all seen too clearly this week, COVID-19 is still a threat to our health, as well as our economic security. We have to do so much more to step up to get this virus under control.”
October 23, Wilmington, Delaware: “And today I’m going to tell you exactly what I plan to do if I have the honor of being elected your next president. I’ll immediately put in place a national strategy that will position our country to finally get ahead of this virus and get back our lives.”
October 27, Warm Springs, Georgia: “For we will act, we will act on the first day of my presidency to get COVID under control. We’ll act to pass my economic plan that will finally reward work, not wealth in this country. We’ll act to pass my health care plan to provide affordable, accessible healthcare for every American, and drug prices that are dramatically lowered. We’ll act to pass the Biden climate plan, meeting the challenges of a climate crisis while creating millions of good paying, high paying, labor jobs. We’ll act to address systemic racism in our country, and we’ll act to give working people a fair shot again in this country. And we’ll act to restore our faith in democracy and our faith in one another.”
November 2, Cleveland, Ohio: “When I’m elected your president, I’m going to act, and I’m going to act on day one. Folks, we’re going to act to get this COVID under control.”
November 2, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: “If I’m elected president, we’re going to act, on day one we’re going to act to get COVID under control, on day one of my presidency I’ll put in action a plan that I’ve been talking about for months, masking, social distancing, testing, tracing, a plans for full and fair and free distribution of therapeutics and vaccines when we get one.”
November 9, Wilmington, Delaware: “As I said on Saturday, I’m humbled by the trust this country and the American people have placed in me and Vice President Elect Harris. And we’re ready to get to work, addressing the needs of the American people. Today our work begins. It starts with doing everything possible to get the COVID-19 under control so that we can reopen our businesses safely and sustainably, resume our lives and put this pandemic behind us.”
December 4, Wilmington, Delaware: “As we inherit the public health and economic crisis, we’re working on a plan that we’ll put forward for the next Congress to move fast to control the pandemic, to revive the economy, and to build back better than before. ”
December 8, Wilmington, Delaware: “But as all of you know, I know that out of our collective pain, we’re going to find a collective purpose to control the pandemic, to save lives and to heal as a nation. Today, I’m pleased to announce a team that is going to do just that. It’s a team of world-class experts at the top of their fields, crisis tested, defined by a deep sense of duty, honor and patriotism who are already ready to jump in. They’ve been advising me, many of them for a long time, and they’re going to be ready on day one to spare not a single effort to get this pandemic under control. So we can get back to work, get back to our lives, get back to our loved ones.”
^^ 11 times Joe Biden promised to get COVID under control.
11 times FAIL.
Well, maybe if we raked the forest or dropped a nuke into a hurricane...

Nobody sees it. Least of all, expects it. But the Vikings can't play it that way and everyone knows that. If the Vikings win out, their playoff chances shoot to 65%, and that includes all the things that have to happen in order for them to make it. So not quite crazy to imagine.
What happens if the Vikings played Mond just to "see what he looks like," and they played Davis just "to see what he looks like." Might as well throw Bynum in there as well. Vikings then lose the game by a touchdown or so, then everything happens the way it had to....if they had only beaten Green Bay. Do you know how furious Viking nation would be?
As much as we might want to see Mond, Davis, et al, Vikings have to put their best players out there, for at least one more week. Now, if we're out and we see the same thing next week, ya'll can bitch all you want.

Of course not. There is no reason to expect it. If they win out, that's the key. Still not seeing it. Viking nation is already furious and with good reason. They had multiple opportunities but here we are. Mannion is going to get schooled. At this point, I would be alright seeing Mond. And again even if they won out and got in, then what? They are not making a run. I am generally an optimistic person but I am seeing the reality of this season unfold right before my eyes.

Trump is either a dipshit or sold out. Biden is a puppet (with dementia) and those in power are doing exactly what they want.
