Brosmer locks up the 4th place schedule for us against the Lions. Then get JJ back to further his growth the next Sunday. Very good.

Only way to improve your correct post here is to say that McCarthy comes back for the Packers game and we beat them to keep them out of the playoffs*.

* believe that requires Packers to lose to Ravens and Detroit to beat the Bears the last week (but the Bears might be laying down that last week?)

With the way the season played out, it feels like a Darnold led Vikings team could have won it all. Jus typin.

This team always needed a vertern QB. I was always correct on this.

Just a colossal blunder to think that McCarthy was ready. Even worse to build the team up for a SB around him, forcing expectations that much unreasonably higher for a defacto rookie QB.

He wasn't ready? That's crazy for only needing one series in the entire preseason (tounge in cheek)

dude is polarizing, i'll give you that. that said, he does have a point after the "tell-all" bullshit saying he couldn't read, that he couldn't watch film, etc., that got published anonymously right before the season dropped. I think he's arrogant (tbh they all are, but it's i think part of what it takes to play the position. Some are just outwardly moreso) , but I do think he's fun to watch.

and tbh, any guy who makes the nfl has beaten the odds and busted their ass to get here. same as people saying Mccarthy was just a golden boy who got handed everything (which is a crazy take). People love to hate on people. Part of the passion of sports.

One has started 75 regular season games and 7 playoff games including a SB over six seasons.

The other has started 9 regular season games over two seasons.

Good take :sneaky:

For this season, the 9 games JJM has already started will be more than the maximum of 8 for Burrow.

This will be the 3rd season (out of 6) in which Burrow is going to play 10 or fewer games.

They both get injured. Lots.

He's riding an elite play-caller who is taking the ball out of his hands and pounding the rock on the ground, and a defense that isn't elite, but is leading the lead in taking the ball away, while completing around 57% of his passes.

Williams' greatest strength so far in the NFL is that he's hard to tackle in the backfield. Ben Johnson's playcalling tells you all you need to know about how much he trusts Williams. So far, when you're leading the lead in TO Differential by a big margin, it's a recipe for success. Barring a matchup with the NFC South division winner, I'll bet the farm that they aren't winning a playoff game.

You would really bet the farm if the Bears host the Packers in a rubber match?

What if they host either a West Coast Rams, 49ers, or Seahawks on a nasty sub-freezing blustery day by Lake Michigan?
