WEBVTT - Minnesota Tim Podcast: Heartbreak in Week-1 0:00:05.720 --> 0:00:13.280 The Minnesota Vikings lose Opening Day against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 0:00:14.360 --> 0:00:16.919 and I just have a few things to say after 0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:23.040 their big opening day loss, and we are going to 0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:27.440 dive into that shortly. And my first takeaway after the 0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:36.880 Vikings lose is, oh man, that's my first takeaway after 0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:42.080 the Vikings loss. How can you all laugh after a 0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:48.080 performance like that versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It's hilarious. 0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:51.840 I'm one of those guys that doesn't take Vikings games 0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:54.600 too seriously. I'm invested, but they're not going to ruin 0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:57.200 my day. I want them to win a Super Bowl, 0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:01.639 but if they don't, life goes on. That's just how 0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:08.120 I am with the Minnesota Vikings. But my first takeaway 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:12.040 after the Vikings loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is 0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:16.680 that we don't have to worry about the Vikings losing 0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:21.520 a heartbreaker in the NFC Championship Game and the divisional 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:25.520 round or the wild card round because they ain't getting 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:29.800 that far. Folks. The Minnesota Vikings have no shot at 0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:32.880 making the playoffs this year. My prediction before the season 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:36.400 started was eight and nine, and unless some miracle happens 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:39.440 against Philadelphia on Thursday night football on the road and 0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:42.240 just a couple of days the Vikings are going to 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:44.760 start the season zero and two. But I brought on 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:48.920 some friends that watch this game that are invested in 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:51.880 the Minnesota Vikings, and they even have their own podcast. 0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:57.640 It's Luke Jeger, Jack Yeger. They're brosifs. I'm a distant 0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:02.000 brosif but boy, how you feeling are you doing? How 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:07.560 give me emotions? After the Vikings loss versus the Tampa 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:09.800 Bay Buccaneers. 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:13.519 Pretty much the worst start to a season for either 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:16.880 of us. We're big fantasy football guys as well, so 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:19.799 right now it's looking like not only did the Vikings lose, 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:22.959 but I was playing against Kirk Cousin and Alexander Madison 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:26.800 so that pass to Alexander Madison was a double whammy 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:30.760 for me. And then they still lose, so pretty much 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:32.640 a horrible, horrible day. 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:35.920 Yeah, Jack, what are your thoughts on the game? 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:39.160 Two takeaways? TJ. 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:41.880 Hockinson's gonna be losing touches to Oliver if he keeps 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:44.600 butting up thirty thirty yards three targets a game. 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:47.160 I like looking at him. He's kind of fun. 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:49.960 And also I'm just glad we lost to a premier 0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:50.959 quarterback like Baker. 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:54.640 I think in the first half the Vikings had like 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:58.280 three hundred yards versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers like sixty 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:00.959 five yards and it was a top ten ten game 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:04.240 at halftime. Before we continue on with the reaction to 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:06.799 the Vikings loss against the Buccaneers, why don't you guys 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:10.160 promote your little podcast not a little podcast. 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:15.760 Well it might be a. 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:19.000 Little teeny tiny right now, but it's about to explode 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:22.880 into a major, big time podcast. So tell the listeners 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.600 what's going on? What's going on with your podcast? The 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:31.760 big one say Football League podcast presented by Northfolk Construction, 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:33.480 north Fork Construction. 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:36.000 North Face Construction, north Face Construction. 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:38.400 So excuse me, sorry, north Face. 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:41.400 I apologize, just advertisement. 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:47.960 Yeah, so guys, give give us a little rundown of that. 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:48.840 Yeah. 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:53.440 So our podcast is following our relegation Fantasy football league. 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:56.839 So it's a unique style of fantasy football where if 0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.600 you don't win, you can get relegated down to a 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:02.800 lower league and no longer able to compete for the championship. 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:07.320 So we're following sixteen different teams. We have a podcast 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:13.920 that's tracking all of the trades waiver wires, week to 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:18.719 week matchups, and just basically diving into the drama of 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:21.640 what it's like being in a fantasy football league. So 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:24.080 that's that's pretty much what we're doing. But like you said, 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.760 it is a brand new podcast. This is our first year, 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.800 so no teams have been relegated yet. We're still at 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:32.880 the stage where all sixteen teams are in the Championship League, 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:34.960 but at the end of the year, the bottom eight 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:39.640 teams will get relegated, so. 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:42.400 Well, there you go. There's a lot of drama there. Tends. Man, 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:43.960 you don't want to be one of those bottom eight 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:45.839 teams because then you have no chance of the following 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:47.600 season because you've got to build up and get that 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:50.200 get to get the little something right exactly. 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:53.960 It's it's based off of the Premier League structure for 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:58.200 anybody who watches Premier League soccer over in England, So 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:01.000 that's that's where we took the idea for and we're 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:04.600 mixing that with fantasy football to have a little bit 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:06.960 more fun, a little bit, a little bit more nerves 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:07.960 than would already be there. 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:09.960 Anyways, sweet I love it. 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.400 Well, let's dive back into the Minnesota Vikings loss against 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:15.560 the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with Luke and Jackieger, host of 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:20.120 the Relegations Fantasy Football podcast presented by north Face Construction. 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:24.400 Right, if you've got mail damage called north. 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:27.640 Face, called north Face, let's do it. So how much 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:31.039 blame do you guys put on Kirk Cousins after this 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:32.280 loss against the Buccaneers? 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:35.240 So interesting stat came up. I don't know if anybody 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:35.560 saw this. 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:39.200 At halftime, he was looking at two hundred and fifty 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:43.880 yards with three turnovers, which is the last time that 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:47.440 happened was in two thousand. Vinnie Testaverdi in, Yeah, two 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:50.839 hundred and fift yards, three turnovers, So not encouraging. 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:51.359 I think. 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:54.560 I think the biggest obstacle that Minnesota is going to 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:56.800 be facing this year outside of our defense, is our 0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:59.760 O line. It looked like Kirk was getting trapped every 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:00.960 other play in that pocket. 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:07.320 Honestly, if we were to fraction out the blame, I mean, 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:09.520 Kirk to me, maybe gets five percent. 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:11.479 Like, I don't think much of it was on him. 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:12.280 When you look at. 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:15.520 Those turnovers, one of them was slapped out of his 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:18.240 hand by his own offensive lineman Ingram. 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:20.040 Right, exactly. When you look at the turnovers. How can 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:20.799 you blame him? 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:22.080 Right, you really can't. 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:26.480 I mean the interception was torn out of kJ Osbourne's hands. 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:29.640 Yeah, when I was watching the game, Kirk has some 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:31.760 to blame, but he threw for like three hundred yards 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:33.840 in the first half. Justin Jefferson had one hundred and 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:36.040 thirty eight yards in the first half. What I thought 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:39.520 about this game, It's like the exact opposite happened last season, 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:42.640 where every little small thing that had to go right 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:46.120 last season and then some went absolutely the way it 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:48.360 needed to go for the Minnesota Vikings to win that game. 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:51.159 They flashed it in the screen during the game. Ten 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:54.320 comfort behind victories last season and we finished with a 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:57.000 thirteen to four record. You look at this game and 0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:59.279 it was it was a prime spot to have another 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:02.120 come from behind victory. We're down twenty to seventeen. The 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:04.680 Vikings offense has the ball with like four minutes five 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:07.600 minutes left in the game, and they go three and out. Yeah, 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:11.000 Kirk Cousins missus kJ Osborne by a foot or so 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:14.200 when he was wide open for a first down, misses 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:17.200 them pump the ball away. The Vikings offense never gets 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:20.720 the ball back. It's as simple as that it was rough. 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:23.640 I honestly don't even know where I put most of 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:27.720 the blame. If offensive line is a struggle, but injuries, 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:32.560 I mean, losing Bradbury is losing Darisaw for a stretch. 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:36.040 That's tough when you already have a week offensive line. 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:39.680 I thought the defense played in the first half, especially, 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:43.120 played really well, honestly, better better than I would have expected. 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:44.920 I think they just got a bit worn down by 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:47.920 the second half. I like this defense a lot better 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:50.760 than last year's. Give them fifteen yards every play and 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:53.040 hope to not break. I think they'll be more fun 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:56.720 to watch this year. But hopefully next game we get 0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:58.640 a few more of the breaks to fall our way. 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:03.400 And the Eagles, Hey, hey, why not? I mean, we 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:06.280 weren't expecting to lose to the Bucks. Nobody's expecting us 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:07.400 to win against the Eagles. 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:09.360 Maybe, are you going to give us? Are you going 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:12.680 to give the Vikings a chance against the Eagles? Come on, 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:14.520 stand on it, stand by. 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:15.200 Don't spread what. 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:16.720 I don't know. 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:20.160 If there I give them, I bet they beat us. 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:22.280 They're within a touchdown, I bet so. I bet they 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:23.640 beat like a five point spread. 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:24.280 I think we lose. 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.560 We do love playing to our competition somebody who I 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:30.600 would blame pretty hard today Alexander Madison did not look good. 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:32.800 He did not look good at all. 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:35.400 Anybody saying that Alexander Madison is going to be playing 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:36.959 to the caliber of what Dalvin Cook is going to 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:40.120 be playing to this year is sadly mistaken in my opinion. 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:47.280 Like his touchdown, I hated his touch yeah, ending my 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:48.240 ending my day. 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:50.080 Any run, it felt like he was carrying it for 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:52.960 like less than two yards every time he trusted the football. 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:55.280 Other than that touchdown, it just didn't seem like you could. 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:55.839 Never find a hole. 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:57.440 And I don't know if that's the old lines fault, 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:00.520 but it wasn't. Wasn't super impressed with matter today. 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:04.439 Yeah, yeah, he does seem to lack an explosiveness, and 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:07.120 maybe ty Chandler the back of it seems like he 0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:10.760 has a little more explosiveness than Madison. But Delvin Cook, 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:12.960 he had some explosive plays last year, but he wasn't 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:16.120 necessarily an explosive running back for a majority of the games. 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:17.679 And I think that's why the Vikings got rid of him. 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:21.480 Plus he's getting older, Plus his contract was massive. When 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:23.240 I saw this game, I saw a lot of rust 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:27.240 from the Vikings offense offensive line. There was some false 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:30.520 star penalties by Christian Darisa. We saw some other false 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:34.160 star penalties. We saw ed Ingram knock the ball out 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:36.600 of Kirk Cousin's hands. Luke, you mentioned that one, and 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:41.520 we saw other plays even like lining up for a 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:44.680 field goal by the Buccaneers, or that Jay Ward guys 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:47.520 off side and then they get on mac first down. Well, 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:49.320 a play that was going to be a field goal 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:53.280 for the Buccaneers, make it thirteen to ten. Then at 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:57.000 seventeen to ten, Vikings side the game seventeen seventeen. Well, 0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:00.480 if in a perfect world for the Minnesota Vikings, that 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:03.760 game would have been seventeen thirteen after the Vikings touched 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:06.000 out because the Buccaneers kicked the field goal before. It 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:08.920 just seemed like there was a lot of missed opportunities, 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:11.199 a lot of misplays, and when you look at it, 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:13.800 it's like the game of football is not that complicated. 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:15.840 Kevin O'Connell I can guarantee what he's going to say 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:17.520 when it comes to the podium. He's going to say, 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:20.160 we had too many turnovers. We had three turnovers, We 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:24.240 had too many misfortunate plays and that's why we lost. 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:28.800 Yeah, yep, I agree. It did look it was sloppy. 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:32.280 And on that field goal when they showed the replay, 0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:35.120 it wasn't just Ward. It looked like three guys on 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:37.520 that line were offsides. He was just in line with 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:40.400 all of them, and it looked like if it wasn't him, 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:41.319 it was three other guys. 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:45.200 Those are special teams. Errors are killer. Those Yeah, need 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:47.000 to always come back to bite you. 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:50.319 What percentage chance do you give the Vikings to now 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:53.080 make the playoffs? They still have the Eagles, they have 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:55.520 the Bengals who got cream today twenty four to three 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:57.600 by the Browns, and then they got the forty nine 0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:01.200 ers who just went into Pittsburgh and crushed them. Those 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:04.160 three teams left on the schedule, you would anticipate those 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:06.640 would be all three be losses. Maybe I will see 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:08.880 all the season goes. But I mean, I guess Luke, 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:10.719 I mean I guess Luke likes our chances against the 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:11.440 Eagles on Thursday. 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:12.000 Yeah. 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:14.600 No, no, I like our chances against the spread. I'm 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:17.600 guessing the spread. Yes, No, I don't think we win. 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:20.880 You only changed your dialogue really quickly. There you went. 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:25.000 I asked you, what's the spread? I said, I think 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:26.360 we lose by a field goal? 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:29.040 No, no, no, no. I wish I wish I could. 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:30.920 I wish I could. I wish I could rewind this 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:35.200 because then you said, who would have thought that the 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:37.800 Buccaneers would have came to Minnesota and beat beat us 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:38.720 with Baker Mayfield? 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:41.319 That is true. I did say that. Yeah, I did 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:41.800 say that. 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:45.800 I so you insinuated that the Bakers were going to win, 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:48.280 But then you kind of try to cover up by 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:52.160 talking about the spread. Balls where your mouth is and 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:53.440 stand for an opinion. 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:56.679 All right, fine, I'll take it. 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:59.959 Bikes win, Bikes win on Thursday, taking me a score, 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:06.040 Vikes win. Let's go twenty seven twenty four? 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:06.720 Wow? 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:08.200 Wow, yep? 0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:10.560 Wow? Do you pear pressured a lot in high school? 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:14.720 If you're pressure high school, I don't know. You tell 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:16.680 me yeah I did? 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:20.640 Yeah, Okay, wow, it didn't take a whole lot. So okay, 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:23.560 back to the Bain question. What percentage chance to give 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:25.040 the Vikings to get to the playoffs? 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:26.280 You go for a check? 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:27.760 Oh man, that's so tough. 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:29.800 The problem is, like you talked about, you know, you 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:33.520 got the Eagles, Cincinnati and then, and then you got 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:36.880 who's the third that we're probably gonna lose San Francisco. 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:39.319 I think I think it's a guarantee that we lose 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:40.040 to San Francisco. 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:40.720 They look tough. 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:43.560 I think brock Purty came out stronger than anybody expected today. 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:46.319 I do think that we lose to the Eagles, probably 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:49.040 on a bigger spread than what Luke's given. And I 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:53.000 unfortunately think that Cincinnati is going to turn around by 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:53.559 next week. 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:56.079 And what do we play Cincinnati Week seven? 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:58.840 It's later I thought it was later in the season. 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:01.360 Ten something like that, because yeah, three seven to ten 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:03.880 for those three teams something like that. I think Bengals 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:06.800 have it figured out by then, and I think they throttle. 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:07.720 Us if we don't figure something out. 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:10.079 So unfortunately, I think we lose all three of those 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:12.440 And if that's the case, you already owed four out 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:14.480 of those four games, then we have to win, you know, 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:16.559 a pretty good margin of the other games. If we 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:19.240 can't beat the Bucks, you know, are we beating teams 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.160 like Washington or are we going to beat Detroit? 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:24.720 You know, right right, all those games becomes question marks 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:27.920 because this and theory was the easiest game to win 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:32.240 on the schedule right at home against Baker Mayfield, who 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:35.560 was in a quarterback battle all of training camp with 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:37.960 a guy named Kyle Trask. 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:40.959 That is true, That is true. 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:41.480 He's good. 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:43.840 I would say, I would say this is about the Bucks. 0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:49.200 It's second year under under Todd Bowles. They might be 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:53.040 more underrated than previously. Like I don't think Brady was 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:56.679 good last year. So is is Baker currently worse than 0:13:56.679 --> 0:13:57.920 what Brady was last year? 0:13:58.600 --> 0:13:59.280 Absolutely? 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:00.640 Yeah, don't. 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:03.480 I don't think he is really really I would. 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:06.199 I mean, mister one seven, three hundred and seventy three yards, 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:09.160 that's like he had a pretty decent game. I think 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:10.840 he kind of floats around that number for the rest 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:13.679 of the season. Brady would have showings where he's putting up, 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:15.439 you know, crazy yardage. 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:16.640 I don't know. 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:19.400 I think Baker is worse than Tom Brady, but I 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:23.000 do think that the Bucks as a whole are probably 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.480 around the same level, but maybe a little bit worse, 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:27.360 which is discouraging for the Vikes. 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.320 Maybe it was definitely a bad loss, don't get me wrong, 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:32.840 but I it's early in the season. 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:35.760 It's a long season. All those teams that we have 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:36.240 to play. 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:39.320 Detroit has to play to everybody in our division has 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:42.320 to play. If we can get one win that we're 0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:46.160 not expected to get now and Detroit has a loss 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:49.840 they're not expected to have, we're back in We're back 0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:52.040 in the same position. I think we have a weak division, 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:55.120 so I would say our chances, I mean, this hurts it. 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:57.320 I would have said we were probably fifty to fifty 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:59.880 with Detroit before. We're probably now more like forty six. 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:02.480 But I still give us a forty percent chance to 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:05.600 win this division. It's one game in a long season. 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:09.200 Yeah, this guy, this guy's just bleaning purple over here. 0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:09.840 I love it. 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:13.240 Before the season, when do you think of this takeaway? 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:17.080 I got Green Bay Packers with a better record over 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:20.000 the Minnesota Vikings. 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:22.000 Interesting, It's definitely interesting. 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:25.000 I think it's I think it's a hot take. I do, 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:26.040 but I. 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:28.440 Sir or not. Are you sipping the yeager or not 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:29.240 sipping the yeager? 0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:34.360 I'm not sipping that, Jaeger. I'm I'm no. 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:38.040 Bikes are gonna I think bikes are better than Green 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:39.440 Bay and Chicago. 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:41.160 I think it. I think it's gonna come down to 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:42.440 us in Detroit. 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:43.040 And. 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:44.800 I don't know. 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:47.240 I mean, it's the division is a weird division. I 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:51.040 think we're all we're a fairly weak division. Everybody's gonna 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:55.040 be somewhere between six wins and ten wins, and it's 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:58.560 gonna who knows who's gonna land where. But right now 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:02.440 I would I'm projecting we win the division, probably with 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:03.560 only nine wins. 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:07.560 Yeah, wow, I think I do think Detroit. 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:11.080 Uh, that's all hold? Sorry, sorry, Luke. I think that's 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:14.240 a hotter take than the Green Bay Packers take of 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:16.920 having a better record than the Minnesota Vikings. 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:19.640 The winning with nine or the Vikings winning the division 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:21.560 winning with nine. 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:22.360 Yeah. 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:23.360 I don't know what. 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:26.720 What was the worst division record to get in last year. 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:28.880 I'm sure it wasn't there. I would have met. 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:29.160 Yeah. 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:32.880 I think Bucks got in with eight wins or seven 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:34.960 wins or something like that. Yeah. 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:38.280 Were they under five hundred, Yeah they were, so they 0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:39.680 would have been eight and nine. 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:41.240 I'm guessing they weren't seven to ten. 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:44.680 I can't remember, But I do think there will be 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:48.160 divisions that get in with nine wins. I don't I 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:50.360 think if we don't win the division, I don't think. 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:51.240 We make the wild cards. 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:53.000 So Bucks got in last year with an eight and 0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:53.800 nine record. 0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:55.880 Eight and nine records, so I think I think nine 0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:58.080 and eight there will be a division that does that, 0:16:58.120 --> 0:16:59.200 and I think we might be that. 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:01.040 Yeah. 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:04.320 I'm not buying into the Detroit Lions as much as 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:06.879 some people might be after beating Kansas City. The reason 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:09.360 being is that, yeah, it was an amazing win for them. 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:12.480 It's definitely gonna help the record overall, but putting up 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:16.280 twenty two points and everybody's saying that Detroit is about 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:19.080 to be a super explosive offense before the season starts. 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:23.680 You did beat Kansas City, but also not a great defense, 0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:28.240 especially without Chris Jones. Jones there right, and then Kelsey's 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:32.040 not Patrick Mahomes is probably missing out on what two touchdowns. 0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:33.639 They had a wide receiver that gave the Lions like 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:34.680 fourteen points. 0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:39.840 Yeah, true, Yeah, I do like a Monra but outside 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:42.080 and Jami or Gibbs will start getting more touches, I think. 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:44.560 But I don't think Detroit is as good as people 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:46.760 are projecting them to be. So I do think that 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:48.320 we have a chance against Detroit. I do think we're 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:49.960 going to be better than the Bears. And I don't 0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:52.360 buy Jordan Love or any of the Packer hype, even 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:54.119 if they do have a good defense either. So I 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:56.120 don't think it's that hot. I'm still I'm still here 0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:57.720 for a nine and eight record to make play. 0:17:57.760 --> 0:18:01.200 Oh oh wow, I got the Vikings at a and 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:03.720 nine before the season. I love your guys as hot takes. 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:06.760 This is why you should follow, not for the hot takes, 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:11.879 but the Relegations Fantasy Football podcast sponsored by north Face Construction. 0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:15.440 That's what it kind of takes you get on fantasy football. 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:20.200 I love it. Kirk Cousins is this is last year 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:21.320 for the Minnesota Vikings. 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:23.760 I think the safest bet ist bet he'll be playing 0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:26.639 somewhere else next year. But my gut tells me, My 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:30.239 gut tells me he'll be back. I think, depending on 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:31.879 what's out there. I don't think we're gonna have a 0:18:31.880 --> 0:18:34.880 good enough pick to have a rookie that we want 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:39.760 starting with Justin Jefferson in his prime, and if Cousins 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:41.720 has a bad year, we get him on a discount. 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:45.000 And maybe if he has a good year, he says, 0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:46.440 you know what, I have a few years left. 0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:49.480 I see my chance here. I like living in Minnesota. 0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:52.199 He seems like a guy who likes to be settled 0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:54.520 and he might take a hometown discount. 0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:58.120 I feel like a lot of it depends on your 0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:01.520 prediction for the Minnesota Vikings record this season. Like if 0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:03.320 you have the Vikings at nine and eight and winning 0:19:03.359 --> 0:19:06.359
