  Speaker 1: All right, Hey, Vikings fans, welcome in to another episode
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: of the School Hot I'm Evan and I'm Austin. Where's
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: a couple of dudes from Iowa. We like drinking beer
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: talking about the Vikings yep.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: And this week was not the most fun to talk
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: about the Vikings, but we had to do it. And
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: because it wasn't so fun, I had to spin the
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: wheel purple punishments and it got a little hairy.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie, Yeah it did. I got to
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: help you with that, which was fun. But after that
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: we got to recap a really awful Vikings.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Game against the Lions. It was not fun to talk about,
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: but we had to, and in order to stop us
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: from talking about that for hours and hours on end,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: we did look forward to the actual first game of
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: the playoffs for the Vikings against the Rams, and there's
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: some hope. There definitely some optimism.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I'm glad that the Vikings can continue playing football.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Yep. Grab a cold one out there, join us for
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: episode seventy four.

  Speaker 2: trips that they offer up are a lot of fun.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I feel like you're stalling a little bit,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: a little bit because I have to spin the wheel
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: because I was an idiot and predicted a victory over
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: the Detroit Lions. I think did I predict a victory
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: both games this season against the Lions? Have I spun
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: twice now? Because of the darn Detroit Lions. Yeah, let's
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: go back and look real fast. You know the way
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: for me to stall another. You did predict them to
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: sweep the Lions, So I've spun twice. Did you at
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: least have to spin with me the first time the
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: first time? Yes, I thought they would win Week seven
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: coming off of the Week six bye, but I had
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: them losing here at the end of the season.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I was You're smart, and I just figured
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: home field advantage and then traveling to Detroit for that
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: game when that happened that we will have to talk about.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: We're still morning, we are, it's and it's not even
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: twenty four hours yet.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: So yeah, we get. We get the day to be
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: annoyed and upset about it, and then we'll grieve it
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: out to you guys who are choosing to watch and listen.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Speaking of that, I'll let you stall a little bit longer.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: You brought the beer tonight, but you did. You brought
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: a Minnesota beer to start. We're gonna get to the
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Iowa beer here in a little bit. I've never had
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: this one.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Have you. I don't believe I have. Now now that
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: I'm saying that, maybe I need to go back to
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: last year's advent calendar that Miranda made for me. There's
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: a chance this is one she would have put in there.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I don't remember, though, I don't I don't think it
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: was in there. But all that to say, I don't
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: think I've had this before. Of course, you're talking about
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Surly Brewing Company, which is a Minnesota brewery. We do
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: have to say we have our rule about Iowa only beers.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: We're getting there. We have some Iowa beer. This one
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: is not the official beer of episode seventy four. My goodness. Yeah,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: the the cam Robinson rob I was gonna go Brian McKinney,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: but I guess I don't know. Brian McKinnie is a
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: better seventy four. Maybe I don't know. But yeah, before
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: we get started, we got to bring in some good
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: vibes because that game against the Lions brought a lot
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: of bad vibes. So Surly has a beer called Before
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: I Die. It's a Logger. It is decorated in purple
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: and yellow. It's got the grim Reaper with thumbs up
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: kind of smiling right on the can. So you know
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: they're talking about the Vikings winning a championship once before
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Before I Die. So let's let's bring some good vibes
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: with this beer. And you had a good idea too.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Another Minnesota brewery.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Sty sent the pups not too long ago some nice
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: glasses here from lift Bridge Brewing out of still Water, Minnesota.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: So we're gonna enjoy this, Surly before I die. Out
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: of these lift Bridge grape ape glasses. They send us
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: some grape ape too, which was pretty good.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah that was But yeah, we just got to get
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: the good vibes going. Not a lot of head retention
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: at all, almost to the point that I would have
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: it would make me think it's a sour, But it's
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: a lagger yep, school school. Yeah, just a straightforward beer. Yeah,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: it's a solid everyday logger. And uh yeah, I don't know.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: I think it's more the beer is good. There's nothing
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: bad with the beer. I think it's more about the
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: the gimmick of Yeah, we just got to get one
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: before we die. So good job, Surly. I am excited
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: for the actual official beer of the episode here a
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: little bit later. But yeah, it's pretty good. All right man,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: I think we got to do this thing.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I know you want to, but alas we have four
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: items left, let's we'll recap these quick. Yeah, you could
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: sit in a child's chair for the rest of the episode.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Which would be kind of fun. I'd probably break that
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: child's chair, it's pretty sturdy. I don't know. You could
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: wax a limb. I almost want that, you know, quick
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: and easy. It'd be painful, I'll do like my leg
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: or something. I don't know, but you could consume an
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: entire jar of pickles. That would go really well, be
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: a pickle in here in a good way. I think
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: maybe that's what I want. I don't know how entertaining
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: that would be. The last one would be pie in
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: the face. I really I don't want. I don't want
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: to know. You don't want to do that because you
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: have the beard. It wouldn't be a huge deal for
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: me because I would probably just wipe my face off
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: with a towel and call it good.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: We would definitely have to take a break for a
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: few monuts. Oh yeah, we'll pause for sure if we
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: need to do that. But all right, all right, just
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: rip the band aid off.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Here we go, and you will be waxing.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Ok all right, I'm okay with this. I'm okay with
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: this too, because it comes off the board. Now I
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: don't have to do it anymore.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: All right, I will. I'll be doing a calf and
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: we have some there behind you there. I don't know,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: you want to grab those quick? So yeah, we bought
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: these nare wax strips. I'm pretty sure I got them
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: from the dollar store. So they're the good stuff. Yeah. Yeah,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: they are orchid and cherry blossom extracts, lovely scented.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: You're gonna smell so good. All right, do you want
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: to read the instructions first?
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: We should probably access three easy steps, so we'll go
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: for that. There's two sizes. Oh, go large. I was
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: gonna say, there's there's like a smaller, probably the precision,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: you know, maybe that mustache, and then there is the larger,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: maybe like the armpit. I'm going large, Go big, go bigger,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: go home. Man. Well, you get that set up.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I'll just recap really quickly because we are now at
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: the end of the regular season. The Wheel of Purple
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Punishments has been kind of our ongoing thing where we
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: picked the games in the preseason, and then if we
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: picked incorrectly, so we picked the whole Viking schedule win
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: or loss, and we've been keeping track of if we've
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: successfully picked those or not. We actually did it with
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: our families as well, so our wives both made picks,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: our kids made picks, and we also flipped a coin.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: The coin ended up in a glass of beer.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: That was hilarious. Boy, But anyway, my favorite school hot
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: moment of the year.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: That was a good one for sure. So here's the
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: recap on how everybody fared. Austin. Your wife actually won
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the pick them challenge. She picked seventy six percent of
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: the games correctly, so that's import We.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Can not tell her that. She will never let me
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: live that down. If we tell her that, I might
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: clip this out and send it to her, I'll text
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: it to her. No, she won seventy six percent the
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: coin and my wife actually tied for second place.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: That's sixty five percent. I followed them at fifty nine percent.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: My kids were fifty three percent, and then you and
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: your kids tied at forty.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Seven percent each.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: And I think you mentioned it before we started recording,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: But the forty seven percent for you was because you picked.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: A really good season.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: I picked a good seas you picked a twelve win
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: season when I picked a nine win season.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: I think so all right, so ready, So I pulled
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: out what I thought was one strip. You've got to
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: they they come two strips stuck together. We can't waste it. No,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna do two strips, all right? Can I pull one?
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: You can pull both of them if you want, all right.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know the best way to do this. I
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: got a corner of it. It didn't come off. Come.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Oh no, that's bad. That's bad. No, all right, I
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: sick man. That didn't hurt two one. Show that to
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: the camera. Oh yeah, that's some good stuff right there.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: That Honestly, it wasn't that bad. I don't know, but
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: my leg is smooth. Right now. You're ready for the
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: next one? Yeah, let me press it in.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Does it say you have to like keep it on
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: for that's well, I mean it's a period of time.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Or it just once you put it on, you just
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: rip it off. It doesn't say anything about waiting any
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: amount of time. It did it? Sure did. There's no
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: hair there anymore. Yeah, all right, let's do the next one.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Next one? All right? Should we switch spots? Oh? Yeah, camera,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: they can't hear us right now? Probably all right, we
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: have switched spots. All right, This one's on the inside
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: of the calf. Now you're ready. Three? Two? Ooh that one?
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's doun. Oh yeah, there's definitely a lot
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: more hair on the next one.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: All right, he's showing off the bald spot on it,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: the inner calf. Now that he's done, and he's gonna
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: move the camera back and get that all lined up
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: for us. Well, oh, looks pretty good. Actually, I'm super
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: glad that you landed on that one, because it's not
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: that I'm like adverse to pain or anything, just it
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: does not sound comfortable, and I think that the second
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: one there was less comfortable than the first.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but if I one to ten pain scale, I
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: don't know, maybe like a one and a half or two,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: it wasn't bad at all. Right, So I guess they're
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: not a sponsor. But if you need some good wax
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: trips that don't hurt, I don't know about any other brand,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: but Narrow works pretty.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Well, so I will say I don't I didn't really
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: get a hole out of the scent. I didn't get
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: the cherry blossom or whatever it is. Do you have
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: kind of on my hands? Okay, it's not overpowering though,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: so it's not like I'm sitting here being blasted away
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: by your terrible scent.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: But I say we leave that on the board your face. No, No,
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: that's been the rule all season. It's off the it's
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: off the wheel now. So maybe we could I I'm
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: happy to take up high in the face. I'm happy
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: to do that. We could tweet out the list of
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: things that we've already done and have people vote for
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: which one should go back on for the playoffs. I
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: don't know that was a flash in the pan idea. Well,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: we'll figure it out on air business meeting. We can
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: figure that out. That's not a bad idea. I'm not
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: opposed to that, all right.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: I am opposed to directly putting that one right back
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: on the wheel.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know, man, it wasn't that bad. It wasn't
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: that bad, all right. Well, we need to talk about
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: this game. We do want to, just like I don't
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: want to wax ale in it. It was an awful game.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: The Vikings lost to the Lions thirty one to nine.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: What felt worse the Vikings losing or waxing your leg? Oh?
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: The Vikings losing by far. The waxing of the leg
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: doesn't even register on the scale compared to the Vikings losing.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: So it was tough. It was tough, and especially when
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: and I don't want to sound like I'm giving excuses,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: because I'm definitely not. The Detroit Lions were the better
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: team last night. They beat the Vikings handedly. There's no
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: question about that. Take nothing away from the Lions. So
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: everything I'm gonna say, please remember that. I know the
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Lions won that game and the Vikings lost. No excuses,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: not on the refs, not on anything else. But Sam
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Donald was missing passes early. How many trips inside the
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: five and they don't come away with a touchdown. Sam
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Donald twice had Jordan Addison wide open pretty much for
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: not a difficult pass, not a difficult catch, and what
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: would have been probably a touchdown, and just threw to
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: somebody else for a different incompletion. The offensive scheme was
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: working because guys were getting open and Sam just couldn't
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: hit them, which makes it all the more frustrating. I
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: don't know the Vikings could have been in that game.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: And the silver lining is it's the playoffs haven't started yet.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: That would have made the playoffs way better with a
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: first round by and home field advantage. Now they've got
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: a longer, harder road than the playoffs, but they've proven
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: all year they can go toe to toe with any
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: team better or worse and beat them. They've only lost
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: to two different teams this year. Yeah, I think.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Going into whatever games the Vikings have left, obviously there's
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: one more guaranteed. Hopefully there's more after that. But I
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: think what this Vikings team in particular needs, and I
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: think it's been the case since Kevin O'Connell's taken over
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: as coach, This Vikings team needs to be underappreciated by
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: the public.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: They need to be doubted.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: They need to be not talked about in the media
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: or disrespected or called fraudulent or whatever, because when they
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: get those narratives, somehow, some way that motivates Koc, motivates
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: the guys throughout the week to come out and play hard.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: And then they come out and they shock the world
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: with how well they played. Nobody expected the Vikings to
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: win fourteen games this year, and countless times they were
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: the underdog in these games. They went on that three
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: game road stretch, which was crazy, like that just doesn't
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: usually happen where you play three games in a row
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: on the road, and I looked at those of my
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: preseason picks and I thought they're not going to win
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: all of those games, and lo and behold, they won
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: them all. That was in the middle of their nine
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: game win streak. So I think that's a key to
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: motivating this team this week. Right now, I think they're
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: only one and a half point favorites at LA. The
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: last I looked, maybe it dropped to one. I could
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: see it flip flopping all over the place, kind of
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: like the Detroit game did this last week.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: But I think that's coming back to the Lions game.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: I know I'm jumping ahead to the Rams game, but
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: I think that was kind of their kryptonite this last week.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: In the media, a lot of people said, oh, I
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: think the Vikings can do it. They're playing so well,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: they've won nine in a row. They lost to the
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Lions earlier this season.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: I think they can come back and get them. And
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: that just wasn't the case.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: And in fact, they laid the biggest egg on the
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: biggest stage at the end of the regular season.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it was definitely the worst game of the
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: season score wise, performance wise, nobody looked fantastic down to
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: even will Rekerd. I don't know if he's still dealing
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: with any kind of injury and he's just playing through
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: it or what. But at one point he missed the field.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: I tweeted and said, an NFL football field is fifty
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: three and a half yards wide, and Andrew or will
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Rekerd missed it like that kind of thing, just when
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: it was a competitive game at that point, that can
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: kill you. That gave the Lions or opened the door
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: for the Lions to score three extra points. Yeah, I
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: don't know. It was just awful all the way around.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Nobody feels good, and it felt like it felt like
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: a season ending loss. I had to remind myself today like, oh, yeah,
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: the playoffs are still happening, they're still in it, they
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: still have one more game. Yeah, it just it sucked.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And it wasn't going to be good for whoever
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: lost the game, because whoever lost that game was going
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: to be the first fourteen win team to be a
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: five seed and to not win their division. Like it
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: was just a raw deal for the loser of that game.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: And that's why there was so much on that game.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: And on the flip side, there was so much to
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: be gained home field advantage and a bye week going
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: into the playoffs.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's huge that game counted base It wasn't a
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: playoff game, but on a week that a lot of
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: other teams are resting starters and you know, yeah, the
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Chiefs eight to nothing on that week, the Vikings and
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Lions were both playing in a game that kind of
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: counted for two games.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: It just gave them a free card to skip over
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: the first round of the playoffs, which that would have
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: been really freaking nice, especially if we're sitting here a
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: week from now and talking about the end of the season.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Do we want to go into roses
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: and thorns? I think we should. Okay, there were a
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: few good things. Let's start off with Thornton so that
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: we can kind of any good things in a positive note.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Usually it's me, but you you kind of did all
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: the homework here today I did. Yeah, got everything. So
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: your first thorn, I think it's the first thing I said.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Sam Darnold looked bad, just probably his worst game as
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: a Viking, and maybe maybe because.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: That Jaguars game was I was gonna say, the only
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: other game I can think of that was as bad,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: if not worse, was the twelve to seven win over
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars. But the defense and Will Reiker carried the
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: offense through that game, and the offense was still moving
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: the ball, and then he would try to find Justin
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Jefferson an throw pick. It just happened every time. This
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: game was different where he wasn't hitting anybody. Yeah, he
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: he couldn't hit Justin Jefferson, he couldn't hit TJ.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Hawkinson.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: I think his best completion percentage to a receiver was
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Jalen Naylor. I think like it was just kind of
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: a weird night and he was sailing balls really high,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: which usually means the quarterback's nervous. He's really kind of
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: jacked up and jittery. So yeah, it was just and.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Even some of the completions they were high, like the
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: receiver had to superman up and get it yep. And
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: then when he stopped Sandlum high, there was a couple
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: of balls that were way too short. Like it was
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: just awful all the way around. I saw on Twitter
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: somebody said the lights got too bright for him, Like ye,
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: hypothetically not that the light, like he was being blinded
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: by the ceiling lights. But let's hope it's out of
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: his system. He has proven all year that he can
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: be good. Before that, he went on a stretch of
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: a handful of games where when the Vikings needed Sam
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Darnold to be clutch, he was clutch and he did
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: some amazing things that Cardinals game alone at the end
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: of it, and he single handedly won it for the Vikings. Yeah,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: that's probably the biggest thorn overall. And I think his
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: performance led to this second thorn for me, which was
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: the receivers.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I don't think Sam's one hundred percent to
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: blame for some of these things, because Justin Jefferson had
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: a few balls thrown his way that he should have caught.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: And he's the type of receiver. He's that generational talent.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: He's been compared to Randy Moss and Jerry Rice and
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Chris Carter and all the other big time wide receivers
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: that have come before him. You put the ball within
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: ten yards of him and he's going to catch it.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: I watched something this last week. It was the Seahawks game,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: and Kevin O'Connell was recapping with Paul Allen, our favorite broadcaster. Yeah,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell was in the studio with PA during the
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: week and they were reviewing some film and KOs made
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: the comment to PA. He said, Yeah, this play we
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: drew up right here was basically, just if Sam can
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: get the ball anywhere in the vicinity of the Seahawks
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: logo in that corner of the end zone, we know
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: that Justin Jefferson is going to come down with it.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: And there was a play like that, similar to that
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Seahawks game in the corner of the end zone. He
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: just couldn't come down with it. There was another one
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: on the other side of the end zone. It was
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: high because Sam kept throwing the ball high all night.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: But it looked like Justin Jefferson started to think about
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: his feet and where they were before he secured the ball,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: and he dropped the ball, and it was just like,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: this is just not Justin Jefferson. The nerves carried over
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: to him and TJ. Hawkinson had an arguably worse night
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: than Justin Jefferson did. He couldn't catch a ball to
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: save his life. Well, and speaking of dropping a ball,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: that Andrew Van Ginkel missed pick six because it would
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: have I don't know, he would have to run a
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: lot of ways and he was going to be chased
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: by a lot of athletic Detroit Lions. But he could
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: have scored, definitely, could have should have had that interception.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: It was in his hands and then he looked up
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: like where am I running to and he just dropped it.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: That at that point in the time in the game
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: could have changed it. That could have been the spark
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: that the team needed. But that hit in the game
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: that he laid I think it was on Was it
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: on Gibbs?
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Gibbs? Yeah, he lit Gibbs up. Yeah, that was so
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: fun to watch well, and that that play. I don't
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: know if I tweeted it or texted to you or
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: both or whatever, but the text day to me for sure.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: I mean. So he had the pick six in New
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: York first game of the year, and then a couple
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: of games later he was in London because it was
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: against Rodgers. But it was one of those like he
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: he got really good at reading the play, knowing when
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: it was going to be that quick pass to the
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: flank and he would sit back and after the pick sixes,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: he kind of kept getting caught and like jumping too
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: early and the pass was still completed a handful of
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: times throughout the year, but that one he read perfectly.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: He kind of stayed and waited. He knew, all right,
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to get there to intercept the ball,
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: but he waited for Gibbs to make that catch and
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: then delivered a beautiful, hard, legal hit. And credit to
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Gibbs because he was only out for a couple of
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: plays and he still obviously scored four freaking touchdowns after that. Yeah,
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: and he came back after that hit. I'm sure he
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: feels that hit, but yeah, credit to him because that
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: was that was a big lick.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: We could maybe get into a tweet later on in
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: the school patrol segment regarding that play in particular, Okay,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: could be it's one of the one of the options,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: all right, that we have for that.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: But all right, so as far as Thorn's I just
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: kind of almost alluded to it here. The Vikings the
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: defense couldn't stop Jamior Gibbs. He is an extremely talented
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: football player, but the Vikings had no answer for him.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: He seemed to be able to do whatever he wanted
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: to do. And there's nothing more frustrating.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: And I think at the end of the game and
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell kind of showed his hand a little bit
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: in his postgame press conference. He seemed to allude to
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: the fact that he was pulling guys out at the
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: end or telling guys like, hey, we're out of this game.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: We need to start preparing for Monday night against the Rams.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: And I wonder if at least one of those fourth
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: quarter touchdowns of Jamior Gibbs was just the Vikings conceding,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: waving the white flag, Kevin O'Connell saying we're done with
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: this game. There's no chance for us to win it.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Let's just move on to LA. I would hope not,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: And I know that frustrates you when you're a fan
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: watching because you don't ever want your team to give up. Yeah,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: until the clock hit zero and the score is final.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: But things really got out of control in the fourth quarter.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: They scored fourteen points and they were two Jamiir Gibbs
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: touchdowns in the fourth.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: That's frustrating fans. And Van Ginkle. I'm reading a tweet
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: from Sam Van Ginkle, Andrew's wife, and she kind of
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: talked about how poorly the other wives and her were
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: treated by some Detroit fans, not saying sixty thousand Detroit
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: fans are all worthless garbage. There's some of them. There's
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: also some pretty crappy Vikings fans sometimes too. But somebody
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: tweeted at her and said, hope you ladies were treated
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: respectfully in a reply to one of her tweets, and
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: she replied and just said, I've honestly never been treated
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: so poorly by another team's fan base as I was
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: on Sunday. The other thirteen girls said the same thing,
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: which is awful. Come on, guys, I don't care who
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: it is, what team fan base it is. Treat people
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: like people, even if it's your most hated other NFL
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: team like it's it's just a game at that point.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: But and again I know not sixty thousand Detroit Lions
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: fans were doing that, probably just to select few awful people.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: But come on, do better, guys. That's awful.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I did hear about that, and it is unfortunate.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: I think we should take a break quick. I think
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: we should transition from the Minnesota beer to our featured
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Iowa beer of the episode, which you brought, and then
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: we'll get into some roses. After that, we'll switch gear
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: and we'll go from a good beer and some negative
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: thoughts about the game to another good beer and some
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: positive thoughts about the game.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Sounds great, all right? So tonight I brought a brew
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: from back Pocket Brewing. Where are they at? Are they
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: in Coralville, col Yep? I think I do that every time, like, whoa,
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: I've never heard of where they are? We've had back
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: Pocket before. This one is the chocolate peanut butter pretzel stout.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: So you showed me the beer before we started recording,
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: and all I saw was pretzel stout. And I've seen
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: this on the shelf before and I've thought like, oh cool,
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: pretzel stout. This is the first time, like literally thirty seconds,
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: was the first time I saw chocolate peanut butter. So
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: that's gonna make it even more interesting. I'm excited for it. Well,
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: So there was a beer in this year's Advent calendar
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: that my wife made for me. It was like a
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: chocolate lava cake stout, and it was one of my heads.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: Showed up a few times in the calendar and it
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: was one of my favorites. So thinking of that made
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: me really feel perfectly okay with picking this chocolate peanut
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: butter pretzels stout up. All right? Did you try it
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: or smell it?
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: I smelled it, all right. It smells amazing. It definitely
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: smells chocolate and peanut buttery.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: All right, Well they hit those things.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: Hm.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: That is quite the shift from a lagger, the lagger
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: that we were just drinking.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: But it's good. Yeah, I like it. That's it's super dark,
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: very dark, really good head retention. Yep, creamy, it's night.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's tricking my brain, but it tastes creamy chocolate
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: and peanut butter. I'm not really getting like any pretzel
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: vibes from it yet, but that's delicious like that.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: It's a six point two percent, so it's a little
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: heftier than the lagger. I'll read the description quick too.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: This chocolate stout begins with a variety of chocolate and
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: caramel malts with a roast for balance. It's infused with
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: over two hundred pounds of pretzels and packs a punch
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: of peanut butter to provide a smooth, creamy treat. So
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: there's that smooth and creamy peanut butter that you were
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: talking about.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's good. I like it a lot. I'm really
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: really glad that I picked this up, and I don't
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: think I've ever had it before. I haven't. Yeah, I'm
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: definitely not so a good stunk you back pocket for
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: brewing such a great beer.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, agreed. All right, let's get into some roses about
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: the game. It was a bummer of a game pretty
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: much all the way around. But there were some silver linings.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you can call you did a really good job
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: of thinking up some act good silver linings. So what's
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: the first one you got there? I think the best
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: thing I.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Can think of from this game is there were no
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: major injuries in this game for the Vikings. There was
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: a major injury Terry on Arnold.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the Lions, one of their corners, and I
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: think he was tasked with covering Justin Jefferson at least
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: at one point a little bit. They had another guy
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: that was really good and did a covering Jefferson. Maybe
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: he was on somebody else.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Anyways, I think a silver lining for Vikings fans today,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: the day after this horrible loss, is that there are
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: not a lot of bad injuries winning down this team.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: It's not like we're sitting here, you know, bemoaning the
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: fact that Justin Jefferson towards a cl or something like that.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well even overall, not just like guys that
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: were playing that game, like just as the team. Yeah,
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: I think Faber morow Koc said he was close, but
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: he's not a critically high starter. But he's about the
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: only one other than that. Big injuries for this team
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: this year obviously, well obviously the tragic loss of the
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: rookie cornerback, which it's not really it's weird to put
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: it in the injury category, but if you if you
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: had to, that's tough. But that him, and then JJ
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: McCarthy's knee injury, which I think will turn out to
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: be a blessing in disguise overall, and then christ there
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: saw and that's it. Really, Am I missing anybody else?
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: Nobody else was lost? I mean, yeah, there are those
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: few weeks with will Record and Depaula that we're both
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: on IR for four weeks, even paced back Cashman was
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: out for a few games. Those were the only two
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: games the Vikings lost. Yeah, well three two of the
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Treo other three before last night, I guess is what
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: I'm saying. But yeah, it is really nice. The whole
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: year the Vikings have avoided the injury bug, and that's
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: not something you get every year. That's the difference between teams,
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: you know, having a season like the forty nine ers
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: had this year and having an amazing historic season of
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: fourteen wins.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so there's a silver lining for you Vikings fans
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: if you're looking for one. The Vikings are very healthy
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: going into the first round of the playoffs, which is exciting.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's another rose you've got. The defense looked elite
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: early on, and maybe their drop off was towards the
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: end once it became clear that this game wasn't going
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: to go the Vikings way. Maybe that had some factor
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: until why the defense stopped looking as great. But yeah,
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: for a lot of the game they looked really good.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: Jared Goff looked lost a little bit out there for
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: a while. The Lions success early in the game was
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: all on the ground. Yeah, it was weird because GoF
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: wasn't throwing much and he had a couple of interceptions
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: Harrison Smith hopefully not his last interception, but if it is,
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: it's great to get one. He's got what thirty seven
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: picks thirty seven on his career. If that dude doesn't
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: get in the Hall of Fame. I no longer care
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: about the Hall of Fame. Like he's a Hall of Famer,
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: there's no question about that. And you have the note
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: here the Vikings are the only team in the league
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: with a takeaway in every game. Yeah, it was.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: This defense man was outstanding to watch. I think to
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: start this game. I think in the first half, I
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: mean the halftime score was ten to six, wasn't it.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of people expected this to be
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: an offensive shootout.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: I think they thought.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: These two elite offenses were just going to come out
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: and just steamroll the opposing defenses, and unfortunately that ended
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: up happening for the Vikings. Towards the end of the game,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: the Lions just kept pouring it on because that's kind
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: of how Dan Campbell rolls. There's not a whole lot
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: of conservative in that guy. But I think the game
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: plan early on for both defensive coordinators Aaron Glenn and
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: Brian Flores was take these quarterbacks out of the game,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: make their lives miserable, get after them. And the Lions
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: did that successfully, and for a while, the Vikings did
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: that successfully against Jared Goff. They had him frustrated. He
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: walked off the field after that Harrison Smith interception, which
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: was his second one, and.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: You could just see it in his face. He was mad, yeah,
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: and he was hanging his head. Yeah.
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: He did not look like he was having a lot
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: of fun for a while until he was well.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: And that play too, he was backed up in his
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: own end zone and he kind of just chucked up
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: a prayer and I'm pretty sure Harrison Smith caught it
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: right at the fifty yard line, like it was just
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: this like soaring arc of a.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: Pass and he just was like, I'll take that.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: Is that the play right after the one that was
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: not called as intentional grounding even though it absolutely was
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: intentional ground I think the intentional I could be wrong.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: The timeline of the game is a little fuzzy to me,
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: but I think the intentional grounding that should have been
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: called that wasn't happened in the first half. Oh okay,
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: all right, that yeah, that makes sense, I think. But
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: that was also frustrating to like, literally, it's the definition
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: of grounding, and you had the broadcast team saying as much.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: They're like, oh, yeah, that should have been grounding. I
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: don't know why that wasn't called. That was frustrating. Oh well,
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: but we're not here to complain about the refs. We've
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: done enough of that this year.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: You pointed this one out to me, So this one's
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: more yours, even though I wrote it down.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: What's another rose. Oh, the scheme, the specifically the offensive scheme,
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: it was working, and it's just Sam couldn't hit guys.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: They couldn't execute. And then you know, sometimes he would
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: hit a guy and they wouldn't get caught, and then
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: sometimes the ball would get caught. But mostly the scheme
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: was working, the game plan was working well. Koc did
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: what he needed to do, planning wise, execution wise. On
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: his coaching standpoint, it's just you can't. You can't have
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: the errant passes. And one thing that I'm taking as
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: a positive from this is it's not like we've been
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: saying all season, Oh, Sam Donald, he just can't hit
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: a guy. Yeah, there was the awful Jaguars game, and
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: he hasn't been perfect, But I mean, the guy has
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: the team or NFL record of most one hundred plus
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: quarterback ratings. Is it with his team for the first
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: year or just overall? And if it's not an NFL record,
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: it's definitely the Vikings or Vikings. He has proven he
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: can be accurate. You go back, you ever hear Koc
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: talk about the values that he looks for in a quarterback.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: It's accuracy. That's the first thing he says. He doesn't say,
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: you know, athletic ability or anything. It's accuracy. That's number one.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: And that's why the Vikings lost yesterday is because Sam
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: Donald wasn't accurate. The scheme was good, the scheme is there.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: This team will win with this scheme, and.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: I think to add on to that, Kevin O'Connell adjusted
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: in the second half. It was interesting the broadcast team
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: pointed this out. I didn't even really notice it, but
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Aaron Jones didn't come out of the locker room. Yeah,
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: to start the second half. It sounds like maybe he
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: was getting an IV or something.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: Somebody tweeted a photo of him with the bandage on.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: But when he was out, that's when Cam Akers ripped
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: off that huge fifty eight yard run. But the point
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to make is at that point, kind of
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: coming into the third quarter there after halftime, I saw
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: somebody on Twitter say, O, Kos's kind of abandon the run.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: And then shortly after I read that tweet, here comes
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: cam Akers busting this thing off. And then shortly after
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: that big run, Aaron Jones came back in the game
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: and he started ripping off some good runs too, and
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: he was moving the ball, and so I think again,
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: to your point, KOs made the right adjustments. Okay, Sam
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: is just sailing these balls over everybody's head.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: We can't get a completion to save our life. Let's
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: just run it, and let's let Aaron Jones and cam
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: Akers do it. And Sam actually took off a few
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: times on his own too and got a few I
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: think he got at least one, maybe two first downs
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: on his legs in the third court.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: Which he's done a handful of times throughout the season.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: So don't get cute, don't go away from what works,
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: and make solid adjustments. If what has been working is
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: no longer working, make adjustments. Go get an intergest. All right.
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: We could sit here for another twelve hours and complain
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: about this game or try to make ourselves feel better
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: about the game. I don't think that would do anybody good.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: We should hand out some game balls. Yeah, really quick.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: It was a loss, obviously, but still some good things
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: as we've already pointed out, and some players that I
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: think deserve some recognition. I'll start offensively. I'm gonna go
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: with Cam Akers. We just talked about him. That fifty
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: eight yard run was awesome, and it's just good to
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: know that you've got a guy like him waiting in
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: the wing, especially when you're number one. Guy is still
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: in the locker room getting treatment for whatever he's dealing with.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: I'm giving it to him, and I'm hopeful that this
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: Vikings running attack can continue to just be the steady
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: eddy of this team into the playoffs.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah. For me. Offense, I'm not going to disagree with you.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: I think kay Akers is the only one that seemed
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: like he could have earned a game ball just off
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: that fifty eight yard run alone. Yeah, all right.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Defense, I kicked myself as we were talking about a
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: different player a little bit ago, so you can steal
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: that player. I'm going to go with Ivan Pace Junior though.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: On defense. He has just been He's been an asset
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: after coming back from injury. You felt his presence when
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: he wasn't there, or the lack of his presence when
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: he was injured. I think there's like six guys that
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: could probably had a defensive game ball today. You could
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: probably give one to Blake Cashman. You could give one
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: to Jonathan Grenard. He had a sack last night. But
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: I haven't based Junior. He's a second year undrafted free
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: agent and he just continues.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: To ball out. He balled out last year. He's continuing
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: to play really, really well this year. I think he's
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: he could be one to watch in the playoffs. He
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: might be just fired up and ready to go. Absolutely,
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: although he is not good at joining in on the
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: high school musical dance celebration. I don't think he attended
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: any of those rehearsal sessions. He was vibin though, and
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: of course that was last week. They didn't do a
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: celebration this week. Didn't. No, I don't think they did,
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: and if they did, it wasn't televised and nobody talked
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: about it. But my defensive game ball goes to another
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: guy that got an interception and somebody who absolutely should
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: be a first ballot Hall of Famer, Harrison Smith. I
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: thought you were going to go somewhere else. I'm going
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: to give an honorary defensive I mean, so it would
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: have been Van Ginkel. For me, that's my honorary Yeah.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: If he had held on to that interception, ah Man,
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: that would have been huge. That dropped interception was like
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: the first pin going in the balloon to deflate it. All.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: That was it. That was it. But it was still
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: a good play by him. The ball wasn't caught. But anyways,
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: defensive game ball for me, Harrison Smith, he got an interception,
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: he has. This is like a lifetime award right now.
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: This game ball is I think Koc said it at
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: one point this year when he gave Harrison Smith a
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: game ball, he said, like, he's probably got a few
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: bushels of game balls sitting at home, and if he doesn't,
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: he should because he get one every week. Harrison Smith
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: is the definition of a Viking. He's probably taken tens
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: of millions of dollars worth of pay cuts just to
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: stay with the Vikings. I hope he has at least
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: one more year, although I fear that might have been
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: his last regular season game. Thank you, Harrison Smith. Here's
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: your game ball. See, I would disagree with you a
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: little bit.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: I think my honorary one would go to Ving Ginkel,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: just because, first of all, the hit on Jamier Gibbs
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: in the first half was just awesome. I watched you
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: sent it to me, and I watched it probably like
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: ten times after you sent it to me. I'm like,
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: that's just that's a football play right there. And then
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: the almost interception was still pretty great. Like I was
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: excited that he interrupted the play. Yes, it would have
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: been great if he would have snagged that, and it
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: could have changed the momentum of the game, but I
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: think even at that point it was kind of too late. Yeah,
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: So anyways, special teams, man, I think this is one
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: that we're going to agree on this because will record
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: was awful.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: Yes, he was not awful good and I think he
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: even made a fifty plus yard field goal he did,
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: but other than that, he was scored. He scored the
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: only points for the team.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: So but yeah, the penalty right before halftime that enabled
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: the Lions to go down and get three before halftime
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: was frustrating, and then the missed field goal later on
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: was frustrating too. I still think he's there's something not
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: right with him. I don't know if it's just mentally
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: or if he's still physically dealing with the quaditaar that
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: he was dealing with when he was on IR But
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: it's concerning to have kicking problems going into the playoffs
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: because sometimes you need a kicker to kick those clutch
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: field goals.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, to seal the deal. Absolutely, we're gonna We're going
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: to relive all the horrible memories of Vikings past if
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: we have kicking problems going into the playoffs. For sure.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: So because of that, who's who's got your special teams
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: going to go? Ryan?
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: Right, when you lose a game and it's tough and
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: even your special teamers are I'm playing great, Hopefully your
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: punter can at least do something, so maybe Pat McAfee
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: can appreciate that.
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll agree with you, Ryan, Right, there's not too
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: much to say about Viking special teams.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: Could maybe say Andrew de Paula, because if you're not
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: talking about the long snapper.
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, pro bowler. I think he's the only long snapper
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: to go to three Pro Bowls, Yes, which is pretty awesome.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: All right, We're going to move into a quick school
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: patrol segment here. I have three different options for you.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: Do you want to open those up quick and let
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: me know which one you want us to dissect.
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: I found three different tweets.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: The school Patrol segment is where we patrol Twitter and
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: we find tweets that we think we could just.
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: Banter about for a little bit.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: Obviously, some of them are parody and some of them aren't.
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: But yeah, okay, so I hear first one.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: This is the first time we've done it this way.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: I picked one two weeks ago, you picked one last week.
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: I'm letting you pick from three that I found this week.
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, the second one was just depressing, but
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: I still.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: Think we could talk about that one. Are you talking
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: about the barstool one?
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I still think there's there's good father there. Yeah,
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: you can talk about it.
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: The first one is definitely just clickbait. It's that dumb
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: NFC North News account, which don't follow that because they
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: they're stupid. They don't tweet real stuff. Everything they tweet
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: is a lie and they know it. It's just for engagement.
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: But they tweeted a video, the video of that man
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: Ginkle tackle on Gibbs and with the sarcastic font it
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: was a quote saying the Lions are the dirtiest team
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: in the league and then saying, but this is the
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: Vikings with a totally legal hit, a hard, good football
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: hit that was legal. So that's part of why I
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: picked it, just because obviously they're being sarcastic and snarky
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: and goofy. But yep, the third option, we'll just talk
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: about them all. The third option you sent was from
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: the Purple Purple Persuasion. They said, if there was ever
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: a year for the road teams to get some upsets
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs, twenty twenty four, is it if the
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: Packers who are playing the Eagles, Commanders who are playing
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: the Bucks, and Vikings who are playing the Rams all
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: win in the divisional round would be Green Bay at
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: Detroit and then Washington at Minnesota. So I guess that's
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: what I'm rooting for now, because I don't know if
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: there's another option for Minnesota to host a playoff in
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: the game.
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: Well, first of all, we can dwell on this one
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: for a minute. I like the Purple Persuasion. We follow
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: them on our Twitter account. I follow them on my
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: personal Twitter account. They put out some good stuff. I
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: think they forgot the calendar switched over. It's now twenty
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: twenty five, a twenty four season, the NFL season, because
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: it straddles the new year. But anyways, twenty I would
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: argue they might need to edit that twenty twenty five.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: And this is also kind of a ridiculous scenario, right,
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: like the Packers beating the Eagles, the Commanders beating the Bucks,
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: and the Vikings beating the Rams, all of the lower
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: seed teams winning on wild Card weekend.
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: That would be wild, yeah, which it could absolutely happen.
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: Packers are a good team. Jordan Love might not be playing.
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know what his health status is right now,
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: but Jalen Hurts might not be playing. Jalen although Kenny
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: Pickett was hurt too, Oh wow, really I think he was,
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: So that's not a foregone conclusion of a game. The
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: Commanders and Bucks. That seems to me like a totally
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: eat and matched.
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: I think, if anything, I'd give the nod to the Commanders.
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: I think that's the best game in the NFC Playoffs,
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: in the NFC.
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: Wild Card this year. That'll be a fun one to watch.
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: And then Vikings and Rams. We've already seen that game.
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: The Vikings lost by ten points earlier, but that was halfway.
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: That was half a season ago, if not even more.
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I won't give my game prediction away yet,
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: but I think either the Vikings or Rams could win it.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: So it's not crazy to think that this Green Bay
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: at Detroit and Washington at Minnesota situation could happen. I
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: am kind of rooting for this because it seems to
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: be the most favorable. It gives the Vikings a home
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: game as a five seed, which is crazy, and it
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: also guarantees that at least one NFC North team will
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: be in the NFC Championship, gay for sure. And it
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: could be two.
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: NFC North teams playing each other in that NFC Championship game,
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: which would be absolutely nuts.
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it did. I think I tweeted it out too.
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: My watch yelled at me for my heart rate during
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: the Detroit game. I don't think I can physically handle
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: another game like that, especially to go to the championship.
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: My goodness. All right. So the third option you sent,
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: which kind of just pisses me off, it's from Barstool
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: Detroit saying thanks for the memories, Vikings, and it's got
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: a fun little graphic of games that the Lions have
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: beaten the Vikings in recent memory. In twenty one, then
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: the twenty one to twenty two season. Dan Campbell's first
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: win as the Lions head coach came against the Vikings.
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: Wasn't that at the end of the season after all
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: of their other games? Yea. In the twenty three to
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: twenty four season, obviously, Lions Clint's first NFC North title.
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: That was just last year. That's cute. Their first.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: They won their first conference title ever last year. Yep, yeah,
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: good job, all right, No, that was division title.
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, NFC North. They had never won the North. They
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: had won the Central back in the day, but never
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: the North. That's true. They've never won the North until
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: last year. And then this graphic ends with yesterday's game
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: twenty four to twenty five season Lions clinching the number
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: one seed and back to back NFC North titles against
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: the Vikings.
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: If we're counting Central and North divisional titles. Yeah, I'm
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: pretty sure. The Vikings lead all four of the current
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: conference team or divisional teams with twenty divisional wins. Interesting,
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: I'll take your word for it, but I saw it
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: somewhere today. The Packers are second with eighteen.
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: The Bears have some I don't know how many, probably
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: mostly in the eighties. The Lions had three before last night.
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: Now they have four. Yeah, so it's twenty to four.
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: It's cute. Yeah, good job, job, Lines and job, and
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: these Lions fans talk to you, guys because you're watching
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: right now, because you care way more about us than
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: we care about you. They're the most obnoxious people in
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: the world. Okay, not all of them. I'm sure most
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: Lines fans are nice people, but the loudest are the
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: most annoying, and they're the worst. So I hope, I
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: hope they never win another football game ever again. I
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: think they're gonna win some maybe, but maybe hopefully not
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: this year. All right, Well, that was actually more fun
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: to look at all of them. Yeah, I like that. Yeah.
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: Well, we'll throw all three of them up there and
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: we'll be able to see them, and maybe we'll shout
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: out some of those accounts on Twitter.
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, mentioned them, clip out some of our chats.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: Before we wrap this up, we got to at least
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: talk a little bit about this wild card game against
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: the Rams in LA. It's gonna be the last wild
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: card of wild Card Weekend. Monday Night Football, January thirteenth,
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: a week from to day coming up.
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: Yep, as of like literally a week from right now. Yep,
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: we will be watching that game. So keys to victory?
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: What do you think, how do the Vikings get out
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: of this one with a win? Well, you again have
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: prepared us pretty well here in this segment. You've got
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: offensive and defensive keys here and on offense, the teams
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: kind of have a similar identity, which you say, no surprise.
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: Kevin O'Connell was the Rams offensive coordinator just a few
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: seasons ago, so they're obviously going to look similar. These
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: teams are kind of evenly matched. They have similar strengths,
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: similar weaknesses. This will be a good game. I think
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: just the Vikings need to that one key to victory
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: is Sam Dardal needs to forget his inaccurate moments and
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: hit the receivers. Yeah, play the game, hit the receivers.
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: It's all you need to do. Same and I think
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: that that will be huge.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think on the defensive side of the ball.
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: I was doing some digging today, the Rams are one
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: of the worst third down teams in the league this year.
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: They're not the worst, but they're one of the worst.
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: And they don't get to third down a lot. But
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: when they do, they don't convert a lot, and so
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: I think that's something that the Vikings will have to
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: exploit on defense. Brian Flores is going to have to
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: work to get them in these third down situations and
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: try to, you know, get after Matthew Stafford because he's
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: probably going to draw back and pass in those third
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: down situations. He's going to try to find Cooper Cup
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: or Pooka Nakua, which that worked well the last time
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: the Vikings played them. Yeah, but if I remember right,
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: and I could be wrong, they did a lot of
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: the dink and dunk, the little check downs, the little
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: screen passes off to the side, and then the Vikings
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: were playing a lot of zone at that point, and
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: they just exploited the zone, weaved their way through, got
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: the first down, got just enough to you know, move
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: the sticks and keep the ball moving, and that's kind
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: of how that game went. I think this Vikings defense
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: has learned a lot about itself since those two back
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: to back losses against the Lions.
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: And the Rams.
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: After the bye week, and of course they have all
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: of their players back. Really, I mean, Blake Cashman was out.
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: I think Ivan paced Junior was out at that point too,
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: or maybe that was a little later.
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: In the season. I don't I don't remember that. I
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: can't remember.
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: But anyways, they're very healthy, they're very ready to go,
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: and I think they're they're hungry. I think they're they're
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: they have a chip on their shoulder. Think they're they're
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: pissed off at how poorly the Week eighteen game went
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: against the Lions. They're ready to get that sour taste
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: out of their mouth and go for it. It is
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: an advantage too. I would say to play the last
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: game of wild Card weekend just maximum amount of time
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: to recover.
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: So another key to the game. I would just say.
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: The Vikings not only you mentioned this with Sam Darnold.
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: He's got to just find the open guys and make completions.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: I think they just I think Koc needs to call
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: a good game too, kind of like he tried to
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: do against the Lions. And again I'm not necessarily faulting him.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: It wasn't horrible play calling in my opinion, but he's
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: got to find a balance. He can't abandon the run
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: early on, and he's got to be able to utilize
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: things like the play action and stuff like that to
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: keep this defense on their toes, I don't think the
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: Rams have the greatest defense. In fact, they may have
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: one of the worst defenses in the NFC.
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: Playoffs right now.
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: I don't back me up on that, but I don't
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: know that they're the strongest NFC defense right now. So
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: I think Kevin O'Connell has to exploit that as a
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: play caller too.
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: For sure, this is going to be a fun one
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: to watch, a nerve wracking one, because this one counts.
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's not the regular season anymore. It's the playoffs,
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: win or go home, win or go home. Yeah, I
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: think the smallest of silver linings, the thinnest of silver
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: linings in losing that game against the Lions is now
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: you're motivated even more. Not that they weren't motivated, not
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: that they couldn't have won, but now it's like, not crap,
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: Like all right, spend that extra fifteen minutes in the
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: film room, do that extra a little bit of preparation,
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: because you know you need to, and you've felt what
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: it feels like. You know what it feels like to
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: lose right now, and that sucks, And now you're motivated
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: to go out and actually win the playoff games. That
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: matter right now, there's that legendary picture last year, last
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: season of Kevin O'Connell with that big stick at practice
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: after the Vikings fumbled the ball like an egregious amount
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: of times in a game. I wonder what he will
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: do in practice this week, like Sam quit throwing the ball.
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: So Hi, here's how we're going to correct that.
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: I don't Is there like a you know, prodding stick
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: or something that he can pull out to correct some
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: of that?
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: I'm here for it. If there's something to fix that,
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: let's do it.
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: If anybody can fix a quarterback playing the way that
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: Sam played last night, it's Kevin O'Connell. I think he's
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: proven that in his three years he helped correct some
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: of Kirk cousins bad habits, and some of those bad
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: habits continued to die hard. And it sucked to watch
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: for Vikings fans because we watched him take a lot
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: of sacks and we watched him throw the ball away
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: a lot. But then you know, Kirk Cousins gets hurt
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: last year and we got the four amazing quarters across
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: two games with Josh Dobbs, the pastronaut.
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: We got little Nick Mullens.
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: We got a little Jaron Hall, and we saw the good,
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: the bad, and the ugly of quarterback play as Vikings
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: fans last year, but we also saw really good coaching
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: and we've seen amazing coaching, phenomenal coaching from Kevin O'Connell
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: and Josh McCown too. By extension, he's interviewing for head
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: coaching job, but I think the Jets, which is slightly concerning. Anyways,
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: I'm excited for this Rams game. I'm excited to hopefully
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: see this Vikings team turn things around after a really
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: ugly loss.
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: End the season. Yeah, do you have a game prediction?
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: I do. I want to hear yours first, though. You know,
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: I like to protect myself, you know. I like to
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: guard my my feelings and I like to be the
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: do and gloom.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: Unless you're texting me in the middle of the game
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: and you're like, now we're gonna win this game, and
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: then five minutes later, nah, we're gonna lose this game.
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: I think. I think the Vikings go down there and
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: they beat the Rams. They can't let this fourteen win
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: season and with another Kevin O'Connell can't have another just
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: awful first playoff game of the year like they did
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: against the Giants a few years ago. The Vikings know
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: the Rams. Kevin O'Connell knows Sean McVay, and to that point,
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: Sean McVay knows Kevin O'Connell too. But this, this Vikings
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: team is better than the Rams. They will go down there,
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: they will beat them. They won't be a bashing. But
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna say twenty four to seventeen Vikings. All right,
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna be pretty similar.
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be too far off from you, Okay,
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: I think twenty six to thirteen Vikings. I think the
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: defense holds this Rams team to a lower score total,
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: and I think this offense figure something out. I think
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: they score a few more points, and I think the
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: twenty six, which is kind of an odd score in football,
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: comes from maybe a defensive score. There might be a
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: safety in there, oh maybe, so I wouldn't be surprised
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: if the defense scores at least once in this Rams game.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: I think they're gonna get after Matthew Stafford. I think
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: they're gonna make his life miserable. I think they're gonna
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: try to get him in those third down situations. Long
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: third and long situations and really just go after it.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: I think they've all got this really bad taste in
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: their mouth and they're excited to prove to the world
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: what they can do.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you've got something. I want to know what you're
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: chuckling out. I'm just as we record, I have Twitter
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: up and just keep abs on the world as we're
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: talking in case we can break news on a pre
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: recorded podcast and right now. Friend of the show, Dustin Baker, tweeted,
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna censor one word, but he went to the game.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: He was one of the people that purchased the face
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: value tickets from the Vikings owners, who spent a lot
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: of money to do that. His tweet says, the Detroit
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: trip or the Detroit road trip for better or worse
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: is complete. I have decided that it was good for
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: Donald to have his trash game last night rather than
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: Round one of the actual playoffs. And trust me, I
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: spent thirteen hours effing thinking about this one on the road. Lol.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: I think he's right. That's a good take. I like it.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: I agree with him. Let's hope that all of the
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: bad stuff is out. I mean, we saw this happen
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: earlier this season, Sam Donald through three interceptions at Jacksonville
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: and then came back and just lit up the league. Yeah,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: I mean all the other teams they played until they
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: got grounded at Detroit.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. It was De Samder yeah, De Samber
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: Desamber Yeah, and Sam to clause not just samp to Clause.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: Sam to Clause was wreaking havoc on the league. It was.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: It was fun. I think we should just stick with
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: Sammy D. Yeah, Sammy D. We'll throw up the graphic here.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: I did have my Sammy D shirt on last night.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: I wore it.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: I was excited for him. I texted you multiple times
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: during the game. I still have faith in this guy.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: Had faith that Kevin O'Connell would, uh get his mind right,
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: get Sammy D's mind right on the sideline.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately that didn't happen. But I think they turned it around,
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: and I think they win this wild card game, and
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: who knows, maybe we're going back to Detroit in two weeks.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: All right, I hope you're right, because the wheel of
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: Purple Punishments is not done, and I don't want you
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: to have to wax your your legs or something, so.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: Well, so let it be known that we're going to
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: continue the wheel into the playoffs.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: This was kind of just an audible that we made
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: a little bit ago, but we're going to continue it.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: We've both predicted a Vikings win against the Rams, so
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: if they lose, we both have to spin the wheel
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: and suffer whatever punishment comes with the remaining three choices
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: of sitting in a child's chair, consuming an entire jar
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: of pickles, or getting pied in the face.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: Or waxing a limb or whatever.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: The fans select based on a vote democratically, which.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: I will put together, and there will be one choice.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: I will say waxing that that wasn't that bad, Like
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: I said one and a half or two? Maybe? All right? Well,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: maybe you just have a higher pain tolerance than I do.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: Had we started drinking yet barely? Yeah, a couple of
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: SIPs maybe that's it. Just get a couple of SIPs in,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: you'll be fine. Good to know. Another good thing to
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: know is we are going to be live January eighteenth

  Speaker 2: if you can think of a social media account, we're
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: probably out there Facebook, Twitter, or x Instagram, TikTok, thread
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: not maybe threads. I don't know. I don't know how
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 2: that works through sky. That seems really spammy to me. Yeah,
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 2: it it all does. But we're everywhere. And then obviously,
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: if you've only ever been an audio listener of our

  Speaker 1: All right, Well, I think we need to wrap this
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: thing up. We've been yapping for a while. Yep, really quick,
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: before we do that next week, we're actually going to
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: record a day before the Vikings game because the Vikings
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: are playing on Monday night, which is our normal recording night,
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: So you won't actually get our hot takes on whatever
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: happens in that wild card matchup with the Rams for
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: two more weeks yep.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: But next week, what we've.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: Got planned is we're going to do some kind of
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: end of the regular season superlatives. So Austin and I
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: have ten different categories, things like Best Vikings, Rookie of
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: the Year, Offensive Player of the Year, Favorite Play of
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: the Year, things like that. We've got a whole list.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: We've got ten of them. We're going to go through
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: all of them. We've each got things that we're going
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: to bring to the table for that. I'm kind of
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: even thinking like I'll try to incorporate like some video
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: or like highlights of different things, like bring in like,
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: you know, video highlights of the offensive player of.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: The year, defensive player of the year or whatever.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: So I'm excited about that, and yeah, it'll be a
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: fun way for us to hopefully kind of distract ourselves
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: from being super anxious about what's going to happen the
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: next night, you know, when the Vikings hopefully beat the Rams.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it'll be a good close out to the
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: regular season too. So yeah, so we're gonna do that
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: next week.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: That'll be episode seventy five, which is crazy to think
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: that we're three quarters.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: Of a way to one hundred.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah at this point, but that'll be a fun episode.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: Make sure you tune in next week for that, and
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: then episode seventy six you'll get our full breakdown of
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: the wild card game against the Rams, whatever happens, and
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: hopefully looking ahead to a divisional matchup.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: Against who knows who at this point. Yeah, I mean,
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: what was the one scenario earlier? Would it have been Washington? Yeah,
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: that'd be fun. Washington at home?
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 2: Homegame'd be fun as a five seed? How about that?
• 1:10:09
