Good read, unless you are fact resistant. If you don't follow Dustin on Twitter, you should.

Our 'fan' base is pretty warped for sure. Maybe find a new team.

Kirk's fault, definitely lol.

The "Tunnel Vision" some people have towards one single player on a team of 53 players...

The concept of it being a team sport eludes a lot of folks.

Last 5 Seasons:

Packers = 6-18 (.250)
Vikings = 6-18 (.250)

I guess Rodgers sucks too.

@"Vanguard83" said: not only the poor O line, JJ wasnt out there much in the first few games, and no one had training camp / pre-season.  If our defense holds people under thirty points, what is that? five more wins? six?
I don't know the answer to that, but this is pretty amazing.

I like the player but I don't like the contract. QBOTF should be a priority in this draft in order to move off of KC after 2022. It was foolish to extend him under the terms of his current contract. It would be even more foolish to double down & extend him in 2023.

@"BarrNone55" said: Author also failed to mention our sieve like OL. Or, do you think OL play is unimportant? And again, I'm almost positive having a D give up 32 points a game in the first six games, and eventually the third worst in franchise history, might have something to do with the outcome of the season. But, lets not let that cloud the argument.
Who built the oline that's been sieve-like for a decade?  Take time out from chest- thumping about Rick Mike and Kirk and their mediocre accomplishments to let us know.
Definitely been a sore spot. But, maybe stick to the topic? Maybe reread the thread title and focus on that. 
I am not the one who brought up the subject of the sucky oline... regardless, I saw the usual # of Kirk Brain Farts this past year so to tell me he's "clutch" now... meh. 

Funny I was just reading a lengthy post over at Purple Pain forum this morning on how he's *not* clutch-fun with statistics, you can slice it any way you like but the eye test still is reliable.    I don't think NFL scouts and personnel are looking at Kirk and going oh man that guy is so clutch, it's only a matter of time til he puts a purple Lombardi on the shelf.   But hey what do I know, I think waiting 7 years with a coach/gm combo to build a decent pass protecting oline might be long enough.   JMO amid the ongoing celebrations of the greatness of Rick/Mike/Kirk!  =) :p

Do you mean the board that has a countdown clock to the end of Cousins' contract and a 115 page tribute thread to Teddy?

Yeah, I'm shocked they aren't pro Cousins, LOL.

Couldn't the same thing be said for just about every team though?  You play to much woulda coulda shoulda and you'll end up going crazy.  The fact is we didn't last year.  Here's to hoping that those fall our way this year.

I'm shocked you think Kirk is going to lead us to a championship, LOL.

The Teddy thread at this point is mostly guys criticizing him, I wouldn't exactly call it a tribute.
