Come on you guys, humor me...

wow. Indeed, what the hell has happened to the Vikings ? What caused this collapse ? Sure, the Rams played awesome but thats now 2 weeks in a row that the Vikes were embarrassing. I dont recall seeing any "Go Vikings" jinx posts from JohnN. So, perhaps its the ghosts of the Jets ?
BTW they had 4 losses this year - 2 to the Lions and now 2 to the Rams.

footnote - first round this year was not all that exciting. one competitive game out of 6

Go Lions!

AR, I couldn't agree with you more. It is way to subjective & ruins the game.
Not that long ago DB's couldn't touch the wr, now they get mauled at times.

As far as most calls being accurate. Most are unless it's GB, then they seem to still screw it up. Like on the fumbled opening kickoff.

Watching.

JohnN... That's dark ...
Darnold still showed a lot of good this year. if I were the Vikings, I'd do everything I could to keep him... But They do have a lot of qbs on the rooster.
Though He may wind up back with the Jets.... AR, you with me on this?

Isnt it just the unproven rookie McCarthy, Giants castoff Daniel Jones, and Darnold in the Vikings lineup?

Shame on you. Poor AR is off in a corner barfing somewhere.

They also have Nick Mullens & Brett Rypiens.... 5 qbs! Some teams will grudgingly only carry 2 but not the Vikings!
AR..get grip man! On a side note, with McCarthy leaving Dallas, there's no way him & Rodgers ' reunite' @ the Jets.
The Big Apple isn't big enough for both of them...So I guess Rodgers better hit the road!

I also heard that about the 51% Vikings crowd.. but it sounded to me to be more for the Rams.

That’s really only because the Vikings fans had nothing to cheer about. There was the fumble the Vikings returned for a touchdown and it got REALLY loud, but then it was overturned and called an incomplete pass.

3 critical pieces available to Bills defense vs. Ravens this time around

This article discusses the reason for the dysfunction of the New York Jets organization:

Quoting the key points:

"BEHIND THE CURTAIN: THE ATHLETIC's Rosenblatt, Russini & Silver wrote the Jets this season had hopes of “quieting years of talk about the franchise’s dysfunction,” but at 4-10, this season has only “cemented” their reputation. At the “root of the franchise’s problems” is Johnson, who was “characterized as an over-involved, impulsive owner in conversations with more than 20 people in and around the Jets organization.” Various sources said that Johnson and his family have in the past done the following:

• Johnson “soured on his franchise quarterback” -- Aaron Rodgers -- less than a year after “betting big on him.”
• Johnson, his wife, Suzanne Ircha Johnson, and his teenage sons -- Jack and Brick -- have “criticized players inside the locker room.”
• Brick and Jack have “brought friends -- male and female -- into the locker room.”
• Johnson at times “seemed to follow decision-making advice” from his sons, who he started including “in some meetings at the team facility.”
• For some Jets employees, the sons’ increasing involvement “clarified their father’s propensity for sharing posts from X and articles from various outlets” with the organization’s top decision-makers.
• Johnson is “consumed with the public perception of his franchise, sometimes at the expense of on-the-field success.”
• Johnson did not want to make a trade with the Broncos for WR Jerry Jeudy because the owner felt Jeudy’s player rating in the “Madden NFL” video game “wasn’t high enough” (THE ATHLETIC, 12/19)."
