Being a Vikings fan before the Panthers. I am 0 and 6 in Super Bowls. Very painful topic. For me, I will put this one on coaching. I really thought we had a great chance to be champions. The tears have just screwed up my phone........

There were multiple factors involved but through inaction the league made it clear it was open season on Newton in that Super Bowl and beyond. The rematch was even worse. Never seen a more blatant attempt at hurting an opposing player before or after that game. You just have to accept and make peace with it all what's done is done.

To this day I will always have a disdain for Denver will always wish bad luck and losses on their dirty ass for an eternity

100%. The first game of the next season put them on my shitlist forever. I hate them as much as our division rivals(not quite as much as the Pats).

Just went back and looked at the stats. I understand why Ron didn't do anything different.  We came in 17-1.  During the game, our offense was moving the ball (21 first downs to denver's 11, 315 yds to denver's 194) and our defense was lights out.

We gave up a 61 yard punt return that led to 3 pts, turned the ball over 4 times, had 100+ yards in penalties (vs. denver's 51 yds), missed a chippy 44 yard FG, and had multiple ref bad calls / no calls.

Despite all that, we were only down 6 with the ball on our own 28 with 4.5 minutes left.  Our superman MVP needed just 1 more TD drive and we're champs.  Didn't work out obviously.  

Point is, we were the better team and had a fantastic opportunity to win at the end despite all of the blunders (self imposed and not).  Other than helping Remmers out a little by some TE chipping, I really don't see what would have made a big difference in the end.  We were right there - just needed 1 drive.

I will not speak of this business again.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      The question I wonder involves putting the cost behind us.      At this point he's here, so does the premium paid even matter anymore? It set expectations no doubt, and they weren't met.  He's been bench-worthy bad, but he's come back and looked first average, above-average to maybe great, and then downright bad again.  Now we're back on a good trend again.  Absolute rollercoaster.   So what level of performance deems him a viable option to hold?  He's looked absolutely incapable of moving an offense at times, and others like a guy you can "Purdy" with some dimes sprinkled in.     So, if he continues on this 2 game trend and shows consistent average to above-average play, we're treading into tricky territory.  Such a big investment but he tops out as a top-15/20 QB option.  It's Alex Smith KC type vibes. Are we going to be sitting at 7-10 come end of season and feel kind of meh? It's right at that fringe of what is worth it.  If he doesn't re-sh*t the bed, we may be best suited to go BPA next draft and see the 2026 progression.  And that will be the final make/break year.  What I can see if he doesn't fall apart and things look manageable: He may end up being the average precursor to finding the great talent that you can build the team around.  How Alex Smith was in KC.  They built that with him (not around him) until they eventually got Mahomes.  Heck, think back to Trent Green/Warner.  So, BY can manage, we may get some success, but if a stud comes along, we bail and roll with the new gun.

      We win 2 games largely due to historic rushing from our backup RB we signed in free agency and now the huddle is regarded as the most toxic place on the internet because not everyone shares the same opinion that Bryce Young has proven himself to actually be a long term starting QB yet. This place was just as ugly through the prime Cam years. People complained about him even when he was producing and we were winning the division. Things were just as ugly through the Jake years. Sometimes people would get so irate and fed up with him they would literally be calling for his head. How about we just give eviscerating one another a breather and see how this team and Bryce look on the road. Nothing anyone can say is going to make a difference until then.
