Speaker 1: The Minnesota Vikings lose Opening Day against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,
Speaker 1: and I just have a few things to say after
Speaker 1: their big opening day loss, and we are going to
Speaker 1: dive into that shortly. And my first takeaway after the
Speaker 1: Vikings lose is, oh man, that's my first takeaway after
Speaker 1: the Vikings loss. How can you all laugh after a
Speaker 1: performance like that versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It's hilarious.
Speaker 1: I'm one of those guys that doesn't take Vikings games
Speaker 1: too seriously. I'm invested, but they're not going to ruin
Speaker 1: my day. I want them to win a Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: but if they don't, life goes on. That's just how
Speaker 1: I am with the Minnesota Vikings. But my first takeaway
Speaker 1: after the Vikings loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is
Speaker 1: that we don't have to worry about the Vikings losing
Speaker 1: a heartbreaker in the NFC Championship Game and the divisional
Speaker 1: round or the wild card round because they ain't getting
Speaker 1: that far. Folks. The Minnesota Vikings have no shot at
Speaker 1: making the playoffs this year. My prediction before the season
Speaker 1: started was eight and nine, and unless some miracle happens
Speaker 1: against Philadelphia on Thursday night football on the road and
Speaker 1: just a couple of days the Vikings are going to
Speaker 1: start the season zero and two. But I brought on
Speaker 1: some friends that watch this game that are invested in
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings, and they even have their own podcast.
Speaker 1: It's Luke Jeger, Jack Yeger. They're brosifs. I'm a distant
Speaker 1: brosif but boy, how you feeling are you doing? How
Speaker 1: give me emotions? After the Vikings loss versus the Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers.
Speaker 2: Pretty much the worst start to a season for either
Speaker 2: of us. We're big fantasy football guys as well, so
Speaker 2: right now it's looking like not only did the Vikings lose,
Speaker 2: but I was playing against Kirk Cousin and Alexander Madison
Speaker 2: so that pass to Alexander Madison was a double whammy
Speaker 2: for me. And then they still lose, so pretty much
Speaker 2: a horrible, horrible day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jack, what are your thoughts on the game?
Speaker 3: Two takeaways? TJ.
Speaker 4: Hockinson's gonna be losing touches to Oliver if he keeps
Speaker 4: butting up thirty thirty yards three targets a game.
Speaker 3: I like looking at him. He's kind of fun.
Speaker 4: And also I'm just glad we lost to a premier
Speaker 4: quarterback like Baker.
Speaker 1: I think in the first half the Vikings had like
Speaker 1: three hundred yards versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers like sixty
Speaker 1: five yards and it was a top ten ten game
Speaker 1: at halftime. Before we continue on with the reaction to
Speaker 1: the Vikings loss against the Buccaneers, why don't you guys
Speaker 1: promote your little podcast not a little podcast.
Speaker 5: Well it might be a.
Speaker 1: Little teeny tiny right now, but it's about to explode
Speaker 1: into a major, big time podcast. So tell the listeners
Speaker 1: what's going on? What's going on with your podcast? The
Speaker 1: big one say Football League podcast presented by Northfolk Construction,
Speaker 1: north Fork Construction.
Speaker 5: North Face Construction, north Face Construction.
Speaker 1: So excuse me, sorry, north Face.
Speaker 4: I apologize, just advertisement.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so guys, give give us a little rundown of that.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So our podcast is following our relegation Fantasy football league.
Speaker 2: So it's a unique style of fantasy football where if
Speaker 2: you don't win, you can get relegated down to a
Speaker 2: lower league and no longer able to compete for the championship.
Speaker 2: So we're following sixteen different teams. We have a podcast
Speaker 2: that's tracking all of the trades waiver wires, week to
Speaker 2: week matchups, and just basically diving into the drama of
Speaker 2: what it's like being in a fantasy football league. So
Speaker 2: that's that's pretty much what we're doing. But like you said,
Speaker 2: it is a brand new podcast. This is our first year,
Speaker 2: so no teams have been relegated yet. We're still at
Speaker 2: the stage where all sixteen teams are in the Championship League,
Speaker 2: but at the end of the year, the bottom eight
Speaker 2: teams will get relegated, so.
Speaker 1: Well, there you go. There's a lot of drama there. Tends. Man,
Speaker 1: you don't want to be one of those bottom eight
Speaker 1: teams because then you have no chance of the following
Speaker 1: season because you've got to build up and get that
Speaker 1: get to get the little something right exactly.
Speaker 2: It's it's based off of the Premier League structure for
Speaker 2: anybody who watches Premier League soccer over in England, So
Speaker 2: that's that's where we took the idea for and we're
Speaker 2: mixing that with fantasy football to have a little bit
Speaker 2: more fun, a little bit, a little bit more nerves
Speaker 2: than would already be there.
Speaker 5: Anyways, sweet I love it.
Speaker 1: Well, let's dive back into the Minnesota Vikings loss against
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with Luke and Jackieger, host of
Speaker 1: the Relegations Fantasy Football podcast presented by north Face Construction.
Speaker 5: Right, if you've got mail damage called north.
Speaker 1: Face, called north Face, let's do it. So how much
Speaker 1: blame do you guys put on Kirk Cousins after this
Speaker 1: loss against the Buccaneers?
Speaker 3: So interesting stat came up. I don't know if anybody
Speaker 3: saw this.
Speaker 4: At halftime, he was looking at two hundred and fifty
Speaker 4: yards with three turnovers, which is the last time that
Speaker 4: happened was in two thousand. Vinnie Testaverdi in, Yeah, two
Speaker 4: hundred and fift yards, three turnovers, So not encouraging.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 4: I think the biggest obstacle that Minnesota is going to
Speaker 4: be facing this year outside of our defense, is our
Speaker 4: O line. It looked like Kirk was getting trapped every
Speaker 4: other play in that pocket.
Speaker 2: Honestly, if we were to fraction out the blame, I mean,
Speaker 2: Kirk to me, maybe gets five percent.
Speaker 5: Like, I don't think much of it was on him.
Speaker 5: When you look at.
Speaker 2: Those turnovers, one of them was slapped out of his
Speaker 2: hand by his own offensive lineman Ingram.
Speaker 1: Right, exactly. When you look at the turnovers. How can
Speaker 1: you blame him?
Speaker 5: Right, you really can't.
Speaker 2: I mean the interception was torn out of kJ Osbourne's hands.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when I was watching the game, Kirk has some
Speaker 1: to blame, but he threw for like three hundred yards
Speaker 1: in the first half. Justin Jefferson had one hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty eight yards in the first half. What I thought
Speaker 1: about this game, It's like the exact opposite happened last season,
Speaker 1: where every little small thing that had to go right
Speaker 1: last season and then some went absolutely the way it
Speaker 1: needed to go for the Minnesota Vikings to win that game.
Speaker 1: They flashed it in the screen during the game. Ten
Speaker 1: comfort behind victories last season and we finished with a
Speaker 1: thirteen to four record. You look at this game and
Speaker 1: it was it was a prime spot to have another
Speaker 1: come from behind victory. We're down twenty to seventeen. The
Speaker 1: Vikings offense has the ball with like four minutes five
Speaker 1: minutes left in the game, and they go three and out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins missus kJ Osborne by a foot or so
Speaker 1: when he was wide open for a first down, misses
Speaker 1: them pump the ball away. The Vikings offense never gets
Speaker 1: the ball back. It's as simple as that it was rough.
Speaker 2: I honestly don't even know where I put most of
Speaker 2: the blame. If offensive line is a struggle, but injuries,
Speaker 2: I mean, losing Bradbury is losing Darisaw for a stretch.
Speaker 2: That's tough when you already have a week offensive line.
Speaker 2: I thought the defense played in the first half, especially,
Speaker 2: played really well, honestly, better better than I would have expected.
Speaker 2: I think they just got a bit worn down by
Speaker 2: the second half. I like this defense a lot better
Speaker 2: than last year's. Give them fifteen yards every play and
Speaker 2: hope to not break. I think they'll be more fun
Speaker 2: to watch this year. But hopefully next game we get
Speaker 2: a few more of the breaks to fall our way.
Speaker 2: And the Eagles, Hey, hey, why not? I mean, we
Speaker 2: weren't expecting to lose to the Bucks. Nobody's expecting us
Speaker 2: to win against the Eagles.
Speaker 1: Maybe, are you going to give us? Are you going
Speaker 1: to give the Vikings a chance against the Eagles? Come on,
Speaker 1: stand on it, stand by.
Speaker 5: Don't spread what.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: If there I give them, I bet they beat us.
Speaker 2: They're within a touchdown, I bet so. I bet they
Speaker 2: beat like a five point spread.
Speaker 1: I think we lose.
Speaker 4: We do love playing to our competition somebody who I
Speaker 4: would blame pretty hard today Alexander Madison did not look good.
Speaker 3: He did not look good at all.
Speaker 4: Anybody saying that Alexander Madison is going to be playing
Speaker 4: to the caliber of what Dalvin Cook is going to
Speaker 4: be playing to this year is sadly mistaken in my opinion.
Speaker 2: Like his touchdown, I hated his touch yeah, ending my
Speaker 2: ending my day.
Speaker 4: Any run, it felt like he was carrying it for
Speaker 4: like less than two yards every time he trusted the football.
Speaker 4: Other than that touchdown, it just didn't seem like you could.
Speaker 3: Never find a hole.
Speaker 4: And I don't know if that's the old lines fault,
Speaker 4: but it wasn't. Wasn't super impressed with matter today.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he does seem to lack an explosiveness, and
Speaker 1: maybe ty Chandler the back of it seems like he
Speaker 1: has a little more explosiveness than Madison. But Delvin Cook,
Speaker 1: he had some explosive plays last year, but he wasn't
Speaker 1: necessarily an explosive running back for a majority of the games.
Speaker 1: And I think that's why the Vikings got rid of him.
Speaker 1: Plus he's getting older, Plus his contract was massive. When
Speaker 1: I saw this game, I saw a lot of rust
Speaker 1: from the Vikings offense offensive line. There was some false
Speaker 1: star penalties by Christian Darisa. We saw some other false
Speaker 1: star penalties. We saw ed Ingram knock the ball out
Speaker 1: of Kirk Cousin's hands. Luke, you mentioned that one, and
Speaker 1: we saw other plays even like lining up for a
Speaker 1: field goal by the Buccaneers, or that Jay Ward guys
Speaker 1: off side and then they get on mac first down. Well,
Speaker 1: a play that was going to be a field goal
Speaker 1: for the Buccaneers, make it thirteen to ten. Then at
Speaker 1: seventeen to ten, Vikings side the game seventeen seventeen. Well,
Speaker 1: if in a perfect world for the Minnesota Vikings, that
Speaker 1: game would have been seventeen thirteen after the Vikings touched
Speaker 1: out because the Buccaneers kicked the field goal before. It
Speaker 1: just seemed like there was a lot of missed opportunities,
Speaker 1: a lot of misplays, and when you look at it,
Speaker 1: it's like the game of football is not that complicated.
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell I can guarantee what he's going to say
Speaker 1: when it comes to the podium. He's going to say,
Speaker 1: we had too many turnovers. We had three turnovers, We
Speaker 1: had too many misfortunate plays and that's why we lost.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, I agree. It did look it was sloppy.
Speaker 2: And on that field goal when they showed the replay,
Speaker 2: it wasn't just Ward. It looked like three guys on
Speaker 2: that line were offsides. He was just in line with
Speaker 2: all of them, and it looked like if it wasn't him,
Speaker 2: it was three other guys.
Speaker 5: Those are special teams. Errors are killer. Those Yeah, need
Speaker 5: to always come back to bite you.
Speaker 1: What percentage chance do you give the Vikings to now
Speaker 1: make the playoffs? They still have the Eagles, they have
Speaker 1: the Bengals who got cream today twenty four to three
Speaker 1: by the Browns, and then they got the forty nine
Speaker 1: ers who just went into Pittsburgh and crushed them. Those
Speaker 1: three teams left on the schedule, you would anticipate those
Speaker 1: would be all three be losses. Maybe I will see
Speaker 1: all the season goes. But I mean, I guess Luke,
Speaker 1: I mean I guess Luke likes our chances against the
Speaker 1: Eagles on Thursday.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, no, I like our chances against the spread. I'm
Speaker 2: guessing the spread. Yes, No, I don't think we win.
Speaker 1: You only changed your dialogue really quickly. There you went.
Speaker 5: I asked you, what's the spread? I said, I think
Speaker 5: we lose by a field goal?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no. I wish I wish I could.
Speaker 1: I wish I could. I wish I could rewind this
Speaker 1: because then you said, who would have thought that the
Speaker 1: Buccaneers would have came to Minnesota and beat beat us
Speaker 1: with Baker Mayfield?
Speaker 5: That is true. I did say that. Yeah, I did
Speaker 5: say that.
Speaker 1: I so you insinuated that the Bakers were going to win,
Speaker 1: But then you kind of try to cover up by
Speaker 1: talking about the spread. Balls where your mouth is and
Speaker 1: stand for an opinion.
Speaker 5: All right, fine, I'll take it.
Speaker 2: Bikes win, Bikes win on Thursday, taking me a score,
Speaker 2: Vikes win. Let's go twenty seven twenty four?
Speaker 3: Wow?
Speaker 5: Wow, yep?
Speaker 1: Wow? Do you pear pressured a lot in high school?
Speaker 5: If you're pressure high school, I don't know. You tell
Speaker 5: me yeah I did?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, wow, it didn't take a whole lot. So okay,
Speaker 1: back to the Bain question. What percentage chance to give
Speaker 1: the Vikings to get to the playoffs?
Speaker 5: You go for a check?
Speaker 3: Oh man, that's so tough.
Speaker 4: The problem is, like you talked about, you know, you
Speaker 4: got the Eagles, Cincinnati and then, and then you got
Speaker 4: who's the third that we're probably gonna lose San Francisco.
Speaker 4: I think I think it's a guarantee that we lose
Speaker 4: to San Francisco.
Speaker 3: They look tough.
Speaker 4: I think brock Purty came out stronger than anybody expected today.
Speaker 4: I do think that we lose to the Eagles, probably
Speaker 4: on a bigger spread than what Luke's given. And I
Speaker 4: unfortunately think that Cincinnati is going to turn around by
Speaker 4: next week.
Speaker 3: And what do we play Cincinnati Week seven?
Speaker 1: It's later I thought it was later in the season.
Speaker 4: Ten something like that, because yeah, three seven to ten
Speaker 4: for those three teams something like that. I think Bengals
Speaker 4: have it figured out by then, and I think they throttle.
Speaker 3: Us if we don't figure something out.
Speaker 4: So unfortunately, I think we lose all three of those
Speaker 4: And if that's the case, you already owed four out
Speaker 4: of those four games, then we have to win, you know,
Speaker 4: a pretty good margin of the other games. If we
Speaker 4: can't beat the Bucks, you know, are we beating teams
Speaker 4: like Washington or are we going to beat Detroit?
Speaker 1: You know, right right, all those games becomes question marks
Speaker 1: because this and theory was the easiest game to win
Speaker 1: on the schedule right at home against Baker Mayfield, who
Speaker 1: was in a quarterback battle all of training camp with
Speaker 1: a guy named Kyle Trask.
Speaker 5: That is true, That is true.
Speaker 3: He's good.
Speaker 2: I would say, I would say this is about the Bucks.
Speaker 2: It's second year under under Todd Bowles. They might be
Speaker 2: more underrated than previously. Like I don't think Brady was
Speaker 2: good last year. So is is Baker currently worse than
Speaker 2: what Brady was last year?
Speaker 5: Absolutely?
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't.
Speaker 5: I don't think he is really really I would.
Speaker 4: I mean, mister one seven, three hundred and seventy three yards,
Speaker 4: that's like he had a pretty decent game. I think
Speaker 4: he kind of floats around that number for the rest
Speaker 4: of the season. Brady would have showings where he's putting up,
Speaker 4: you know, crazy yardage.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I think Baker is worse than Tom Brady, but I
Speaker 4: do think that the Bucks as a whole are probably
Speaker 4: around the same level, but maybe a little bit worse,
Speaker 4: which is discouraging for the Vikes.
Speaker 2: Maybe it was definitely a bad loss, don't get me wrong,
Speaker 2: but I it's early in the season.
Speaker 5: It's a long season. All those teams that we have
Speaker 5: to play.
Speaker 2: Detroit has to play to everybody in our division has
Speaker 2: to play. If we can get one win that we're
Speaker 2: not expected to get now and Detroit has a loss
Speaker 2: they're not expected to have, we're back in We're back
Speaker 2: in the same position. I think we have a weak division,
Speaker 2: so I would say our chances, I mean, this hurts it.
Speaker 2: I would have said we were probably fifty to fifty
Speaker 2: with Detroit before. We're probably now more like forty six.
Speaker 2: But I still give us a forty percent chance to
Speaker 2: win this division. It's one game in a long season.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this guy, this guy's just bleaning purple over here.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 1: Before the season, when do you think of this takeaway?
Speaker 1: I got Green Bay Packers with a better record over
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 3: Interesting, It's definitely interesting.
Speaker 5: I think it's I think it's a hot take. I do,
Speaker 5: but I.
Speaker 1: Sir or not. Are you sipping the yeager or not
Speaker 1: sipping the yeager?
Speaker 5: I'm not sipping that, Jaeger. I'm I'm no.
Speaker 2: Bikes are gonna I think bikes are better than Green
Speaker 2: Bay and Chicago.
Speaker 5: I think it. I think it's gonna come down to
Speaker 5: us in Detroit.
Speaker 3: And.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's the division is a weird division. I
Speaker 2: think we're all we're a fairly weak division. Everybody's gonna
Speaker 2: be somewhere between six wins and ten wins, and it's
Speaker 2: gonna who knows who's gonna land where. But right now
Speaker 2: I would I'm projecting we win the division, probably with
Speaker 2: only nine wins.
Speaker 4: Yeah, wow, I think I do think Detroit.
Speaker 1: Uh, that's all hold? Sorry, sorry, Luke. I think that's
Speaker 1: a hotter take than the Green Bay Packers take of
Speaker 1: having a better record than the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 5: The winning with nine or the Vikings winning the division
Speaker 5: winning with nine.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I don't know what.
Speaker 2: What was the worst division record to get in last year.
Speaker 5: I'm sure it wasn't there. I would have met.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I think Bucks got in with eight wins or seven
Speaker 4: wins or something like that. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Were they under five hundred, Yeah they were, so they
Speaker 2: would have been eight and nine.
Speaker 5: I'm guessing they weren't seven to ten.
Speaker 2: I can't remember, But I do think there will be
Speaker 2: divisions that get in with nine wins. I don't I
Speaker 2: think if we don't win the division, I don't think.
Speaker 5: We make the wild cards.
Speaker 3: So Bucks got in last year with an eight and
Speaker 3: nine record.
Speaker 2: Eight and nine records, so I think I think nine
Speaker 2: and eight there will be a division that does that,
Speaker 2: and I think we might be that.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I'm not buying into the Detroit Lions as much as
Speaker 4: some people might be after beating Kansas City. The reason
Speaker 4: being is that, yeah, it was an amazing win for them.
Speaker 4: It's definitely gonna help the record overall, but putting up
Speaker 4: twenty two points and everybody's saying that Detroit is about
Speaker 4: to be a super explosive offense before the season starts.
Speaker 4: You did beat Kansas City, but also not a great defense,
Speaker 4: especially without Chris Jones. Jones there right, and then Kelsey's
Speaker 4: not Patrick Mahomes is probably missing out on what two touchdowns.
Speaker 1: They had a wide receiver that gave the Lions like
Speaker 1: fourteen points.
Speaker 4: Yeah, true, Yeah, I do like a Monra but outside
Speaker 4: and Jami or Gibbs will start getting more touches, I think.
Speaker 4: But I don't think Detroit is as good as people
Speaker 4: are projecting them to be. So I do think that
Speaker 4: we have a chance against Detroit. I do think we're
Speaker 4: going to be better than the Bears. And I don't
Speaker 4: buy Jordan Love or any of the Packer hype, even
Speaker 4: if they do have a good defense either. So I
Speaker 4: don't think it's that hot. I'm still I'm still here
Speaker 4: for a nine and eight record to make play.
Speaker 1: Oh oh wow, I got the Vikings at a and
Speaker 1: nine before the season. I love your guys as hot takes.
Speaker 1: This is why you should follow, not for the hot takes,
Speaker 1: but the Relegations Fantasy Football podcast sponsored by north Face Construction.
Speaker 1: That's what it kind of takes you get on fantasy football.
Speaker 1: I love it. Kirk Cousins is this is last year
Speaker 1: for the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 2: I think the safest bet ist bet he'll be playing
Speaker 2: somewhere else next year. But my gut tells me, My
Speaker 2: gut tells me he'll be back. I think, depending on
Speaker 2: what's out there. I don't think we're gonna have a
Speaker 2: good enough pick to have a rookie that we want
Speaker 2: starting with Justin Jefferson in his prime, and if Cousins
Speaker 2: has a bad year, we get him on a discount.
Speaker 2: And maybe if he has a good year, he says,
Speaker 2: you know what, I have a few years left.
Speaker 5: I see my chance here. I like living in Minnesota.
Speaker 2: He seems like a guy who likes to be settled
Speaker 2: and he might take a hometown discount.
Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of it depends on your
Speaker 1: prediction for the Minnesota Vikings record this season. Like if
Speaker 1: you have the Vikings at nine and eight and winning
Speaker 1: the division, well, the likelihood that Cousins is back is
Speaker 1: probably higher than if the Vikings went four and fourteen
Speaker 1: or four and thirteen and and you know, stunk up
Speaker 1: the joint.
Speaker 2: Oh, then he's definitely gone, because then then we're getting
Speaker 2: Caleb william Yes, that's.
Speaker 4: What I was just going to say. Games of the season.
Speaker 4: I think we tank and go for Caleb Williams.
Speaker 6: Really, I don't know, Jack visit Relegation podcast, put your
Speaker 6: balls where your mouth is, stay by a tape.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. We'll see what happens.
Speaker 4: I think after after the Philadelphia game, if we really
Speaker 4: get smoked, I think it's going to give us a
Speaker 4: good perspective on what the other games are going to entail.
Speaker 4: I don't think at any point we're going to tank.
Speaker 4: I still think we're probably finishing third art Division, which
Speaker 4: means that you know, we're not We're not getting Caleb Williams,
Speaker 4: And that's considering we are losing more than I expect
Speaker 4: us to.
Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, well you're looking at the you think
Speaker 2: he stays.
Speaker 1: Get back to me on that one. Yeah, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I'll come with the take. I think he stays one
Speaker 1: more season. I don't think we want to throw a
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback in there. I think the Vikings are gonna
Speaker 1: go the old route where you have Kirk Cousins start
Speaker 1: in front of a rookie quarterback one year, and then
Speaker 1: the rookie quarterback is push into the starting lineup the
Speaker 1: following year. The good thing about the quarterback that's coming
Speaker 1: in for the Vikings is all the weapons that are
Speaker 1: around him. So maybe Kevin O'Connor would just thrust him
Speaker 1: into the starting lineup right away because he got Jefferson,
Speaker 1: you got Hawkinson, you got Addison, you got weapons around
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback to come into the Minnesota Vikings and succeed.
Speaker 1: But it also requires you to select a quarterback with
Speaker 1: a first round pick instead of waiting till the third
Speaker 1: or fourth or fifth round unless there's someone you really
Speaker 1: really like. But if it's somebody really liking the third
Speaker 1: or fourth or fifth round, is they are they really
Speaker 1: starter quality? Their first year coming into the NFL. I
Speaker 1: mean Brock pretty, I mean Brock pretty, but I feel
Speaker 1: like he's more of an outlier than Wilson. Well, okay, well,
Speaker 1: now you guys are just making a case against which
Speaker 1: makes me look not good when fine, why and fine fine,
Speaker 1: I've been holding onto material for a while. Jack. The
Speaker 1: Bengals don't play the Bikings still week fifteen. It's not
Speaker 1: Week seven, it's not week ten. Okay, and Luke, you're
Speaker 1: laughing at Jack. The Packers don't play the forty nine
Speaker 1: ers this year. I think they played the Bengals. They
Speaker 1: don't play two of those three hard teams the Vikings
Speaker 1: are playing this year. So let me get that off
Speaker 1: my chest.
Speaker 4: You got me as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you guys came back after me. So I
Speaker 1: just can't. I just can't get out of this anymore.
Speaker 5: Hey, if we're going to dish it, we got to
Speaker 5: be able to take it.
Speaker 1: Oh, I love it, Bring it, bring it.
Speaker 2: Gonna say back to the Kirk Cousins things. One of
Speaker 2: the hosts on our podcast, Andy Andy Peterson, he thinks
Speaker 2: Cousins is gone and he thinks Kyler Murray is the
Speaker 2: Vikings starting quarterback. Cardinals lose, they get Caleb Williams, let
Speaker 2: Kyler walk, or trade him and the Vikes.
Speaker 5: The Vikes get him.
Speaker 1: The Cardinals played tough against the Commanders today. I don't
Speaker 1: see that happening. I don't see the Vikings trading for
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. I think that's more of a why wouldn't
Speaker 1: you just keep Kirk Cousins if you're gonna trade for
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. Yeah, I don't know ky Kyler his reputation
Speaker 1: isn't very good around the league where he wants to
Speaker 1: play more cod than actually watch game tape. He had
Speaker 1: some injury history. He scrambles around quite a bit, could
Speaker 1: get hurt on one play, and it could flip your
Speaker 1: entire season. That couldn't happen to every quarterback, but specifically
Speaker 1: a scrambling quarterback like Kyler Murray. It seems like that
Speaker 1: would happen more too.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, I don't hope that happens. I think that would
Speaker 2: be a bad trade for the Vikes. We'd have to
Speaker 2: give up draft capital and much rather have Cousins.
Speaker 5: I'm not a fan of Kyler, not at all.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he is he is younger, he's athletic. I
Speaker 2: don't know what what Connell is looking for in his
Speaker 2: perfect QB or do.
Speaker 1: But so are you guys gonna go with Jordan Addison's
Speaker 1: offensive Rookie of the Year After his first performance.
Speaker 3: I mean, he looked pretty pretty fun.
Speaker 4: I had him on my bench in one league and
Speaker 4: unfortunately I started t Higgins over him, which came up
Speaker 4: with a big old who said that was staring back
Speaker 4: at me from the bench. But I love it, you know,
Speaker 4: having that depth on you know, on guys that I
Speaker 4: could potentially bring into the game.
Speaker 3: It's fun.
Speaker 4: Now does Jordan Addison score every single game moving forward?
Speaker 3: Probably not, but his value is there.
Speaker 4: He has the opportunity to the Only thing that worries
Speaker 4: me about Addison is he is weak. If anybody touches him,
Speaker 4: he's not getting a single yard more so, he's gonna
Speaker 4: have to be wide open when he catches it or
Speaker 4: put on some muscle.
Speaker 2: I would say, uh, Addison is not going to be
Speaker 2: offensive Rookie of the Year would be my guess.
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, four.
Speaker 2: For sixty one in a touchdown, great, but that's not
Speaker 2: that's not like JJFF Rookie years stats or something like that.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's it's so early, it's week one. Who
Speaker 5: knows so much stuff can happen?
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Jon looked good today, he did look he
Speaker 4: looked pretty solid. Oh my gosh, Vjon is that Atlanta
Speaker 4: Falcons offense?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, but he's rookie, right, he's a rookie. Actually,
Speaker 3: you know, it's funny about Atlanta.
Speaker 4: I know this is a Minnesota podcast, But Tyler al
Speaker 4: Geer putting up two touchdowns today?
Speaker 3: What's up with that?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Like serious? Soj' over Madison right now.

Speaker 1: That's the type of stuff you get on this podcast.
Speaker 1: If you want to if you want to follow a
Speaker 1: unique and awesome fantasy football league that's like none other,
Speaker 1: go check out the Fantasy Football League podcast. The Relegation
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football League podcast. That is uh Luke act Is.
Speaker 1: I was like, and some guests are on the podcast.
Speaker 1: If you guys had to describe this Viking's loss in
Speaker 1: one word or two words, I'll be nice. How do
Speaker 1: you describe this loss two words?
Speaker 5: One or two words?
Speaker 1: Very discouraging?
Speaker 3: It would have been just discouraging. But I like how
Speaker 3: you were allowed. You were allowed the second word like
Speaker 3: that flex option.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's very Yeah, I like it. Luke still early.
Speaker 1: Wow, I love these that's right that wow wow. Man,
Speaker 1: Tell you what if the Vikings ship went by right now,
Speaker 1: I think your nips would be getting a little hard.
Speaker 1: Tell you what, dude, man, big big Vikings guy. I
Speaker 1: didn't realize you're the speak of a homer.
Speaker 2: No, I'm actually not. Usually I think I think the worst.
Speaker 2: Let's say the Vikings had just played the Chiefs won
Speaker 2: that and the Lions lost this. My thought would be,
Speaker 2: you know what, it's Minnesota, They're still gonna lose it.
Speaker 2: Sometimes giving up that homer on the first pitch isn't
Speaker 2: the worst thing. You start to play a little looser,
Speaker 2: things change. Maybe this is one of those seasons where
Speaker 2: it looks ugly to start and the guys can rally
Speaker 2: around it.
Speaker 1: You have a good point. I mean, the Eagles are
Speaker 1: only up sixteen to zero on the Patriots in the
Speaker 1: first quarter, so there's a good chance the Vikings can
Speaker 1: go into Philadelphia and when.
Speaker 5: Yeah, hey, I like it.
Speaker 2: It's gonna make that victory look even sweeter. Wait to
Speaker 2: come on next week and just be yeah.
Speaker 1: I want you to come on next week. Let's do it.
Speaker 5: You can do it.
Speaker 4: Let's do it.
Speaker 1: Let' be sweet. I guess my one word for the
Speaker 1: Vikings loss against the Buccaneers would be heartbreaking. I one word,
Speaker 1: But I don't know if you guys heard it or not.
Speaker 1: You kind of were in the lobby waiting for me
Speaker 1: to let you in. But my takeaway from this game
Speaker 1: was that the Vikings faithful, the Vikings in general. You
Speaker 1: won't have to worry about being heartbroken in an nc
Speaker 1: championship game, in the divisional round or the wild card
Speaker 1: round because they gave you a heartbreak in the first
Speaker 1: week of the regular season.
Speaker 2: Yep. I don't think we're making it to the Yeah,
Speaker 2: if we make it to the NFC Conference Championship.
Speaker 5: I'm going to be shocked. Yeah, very very shocked.
Speaker 3: So like very shocked, yeah.
Speaker 1: Coming from you. Look I'm surprised.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 2: Hey, hey, I said we make the playoffs at nine
Speaker 2: and eight. I don't think anybody expects those teams to
Speaker 2: advance out of the first round.
