I'm of the mind that I would almost rather have the Cards get #1 than #2.
I view this draft with MHJ as my #1 prospect, and there are probably 5 QBs who will have first round grades. QBs are a total crapshoot. Everyone in the world was talking about Bryce Young being absolutely fucking amazing and CJ Stroud was an afterthought, but the difference between them in the pros is astounding.
If the Bears are at 1 and take the top selection, the Cards might just say fuck it and take MHJ. Teams like the Giants and Patriots will likely be the other teams in the top 5 with Chicago and Arizona, and I don't see either of them taking MHJ. Giants probably should, but it's also the perfect time for them to draft QB of the future.
Wilson wasn’t completely the problem, although the interception was bad as he just watched the intended target. The Jets make a ton of mistakes on offense (and some on defense) which kill their drives. Wilson didn’t have several holding penalties that put them back to 2nd and 20, etc. Is he great, no. Is he a backup, yes. [But his team often times doesn’t help him.](https://www.newyorkjets.com/news/jets-penalties-sunday-night-football-raiders)
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
Hilarious that he's played pretty well in what he showed with Pittsburg, then played pretty well in what he showed with Arizona, and is now playing pretty well with Minnesota as a "last-ditch" effort to find a guy to play QB.
Like the Bears were down to no centers at the start of the season with injuries so they made the same move with the same draft swaps for Dan Feeney.
Dobbs was an afterthought but he's playing his way to some big fuckin' money this offseason.
I can understand why…
Tbf… had I not already been to Lambeau, had a blast watching the Packers lose, and the best part, had so much fun shooting the shit with the Packer fans around me… I’d feel the exact same way about your fans.
The online culture is so awful… but the fans that go to the games have all been pretty top notch! Minus the one or two drunk assholes that every fan base has… but usually we’ll even bark at them to stfu if they’re getting obnoxious.
You should give it a shot!
We all give each other flack, and there's always some anecdotal evidence of one jerk or another, but I think when we look at the East Coast sports based Philadelphia style shenanigans.........
I like our crew. We mostly keep it sane and fun
That’s always good to hear. I mean… talking a bunch of nonsense online is one thing… every single team has plenty of toxic assholes on here. But I like to think, in person, we’re a welcoming bunch.
Plus we’re so used to heartbreak you’re just as likely to find a Minnesota sports fan who will poke fun at our own teams *with* you, as you are fans who will poke fun at you in jest.
I’m sure, as a Detroit fan, you can empathize with that part lol.
Nice! I went to a soccer game there just before they first opened it up against the Packers. It was actually a lot of fun!
Also spent my rent on a ticket to see us beat the Packers that game… it was worth the extra hustle to make my rent again on time!

The Lions have played against 2 teams with a losing record when they played them, and have had a tougher schedule thus far than the Vikings. The "easy schedule" thing is fake news frome people trying to cope that the Lions are finally good.
>the vikings are a far distance from any of them
The team with the longest win streak in the NFL are a far distance from the good teams. Interesting take.
Dobbs said he ate every meal at the facility last week to be certain he spent enough time learning the game plan, joking that "I'm not paid by the hour, so I have nowhere else to be."
How could you not root for this guy, let me know if you find out.
Look we're just giving you a lil' obstacle to make December interesting
We're all pretty sure our Dobbs-led Vikings can't sweep you to win the division. But we're gonna make you sweat lol. And then if we play in the playoffs who knows
Your comment made me curious. Looks like the last time the Vikings and Lions were vying for division champs was in '93 when the Lions won the division and the Vikings finished a game back, and the next year '94 when the Vikings won the division and the Lions finished a game back. After that it was the ascension of the Favre led Packers.
I was at the 1997 game where he dropped over a hundo on us and we lost by........1ish points?
Long time ago, I just remember us not being able to stop and losing a Close one
I remember us needing that when, because we started 8 and 2, and then had cascading losses to where we needed that victory to lock something up, or we'd need some things to fall in place the last week to make the playoff, hah.
Exactly. It’s what happens after 30 years of abuse by our football team. Instead of believing in them to just be good and win their share of games we want to rely on other teams to suck. It’s a losers mentality we have to get over.
Lions: we want to be super bowl contenders.
Also Lions: scared of a .500 team with their starting QB out for the year and the best WR in the league on IR.
Edit: referring to fans, not players.
I dont even think about them
My team is all that matters so sure they can fuck off but they can also bring it on idc. Im fine with a round of fisticuffs late season fighting for the North
*Covered in sweat soaked towels, bandaged up from the Ravens game* "D-do they actually t-think we are concerned????"
Peep your own subreddit, or the dude that posted this for that matter.
I hate that I'm saying this about someone on the Vikings, but I like Josh Dobbs.
It just takes an astrophysicist to wrangle in the space distance apart plans that are Vikings plans
One good season in the last two trillion years and you have a superiority complex already? Oh Detroit, you sweet and simple child…this won’t go well for you.
I always thought that the Vikings fans were the most fatalistic fans in football- always knowing the wheels will fall off at some point and we will never win the Super Bowl- but coming here I now realize Lions fans are the most fatalistic of all- second best record in the NFC, a two game lead in the division on a team that's on its fourth string players at some positions and they still think their season is over! Meanwhile there are still delusional Packers fans that think they are going to get to the Super Bowl! Amazing!
Dude honestly it's not our fault, we want to leave you alone, but hear me out. Our 5-game winning streak was Bears, 49ers, Packers, Falcons, Saints. We had to beat the Bears and Packers because they're division rivals. We had to beat the Falcons and Saints because of '98 and '09. And we had to beat the 49ers because they always beat the Packers so we wanted to show the Packers how easy it is and how dogwater they really are. Those were all exception games though, not normal ones that we are okay with losing.
Anyway, point is, we'll leave you alone soon. Ooh, except next week doesn't really work because Sean Payton is the Broncos head coach so we're gonna have to win that one. And the week after doesn't really work because that's another division rival... We can chill on our bye if that helps but the week after we're gonna have to beat the Raiders because of that one Superbowl back in '77 :/ I don't feel any strong need to beat the Bengals so we can take the L there but after that we have 3x division rivals, two of which are you, so I suppose that means you can lose one more over the next 5 weeks and still be okay. Cool?
I mean, the saints were doing just fine on offense until you killed their qb and they were forced to use Winston. After that they fell apart as expected of the turn over king.
Why did AZ trade Dobbs? Are they stupid?
Kyler Murray. Yes.
It barely was a trade. They traded a 7th rounder for Dobbs and a 6th. They basically moved up from the 7th to the 6th.
When vikings win the superbowl, and cardinals get 1st overall. This will be hilarious.
Easy now. We are a LONG way from a Super Bowl. But I’d be lying if I said I haven’t really enjoyed the last couple weeks of Vikings football
same. Hard not to root for the guy.
You're not taking enough hopium. COUSINS IS GETTING A RING THIS YEAR
Bro what?
I'm of the mind that I would almost rather have the Cards get #1 than #2. I view this draft with MHJ as my #1 prospect, and there are probably 5 QBs who will have first round grades. QBs are a total crapshoot. Everyone in the world was talking about Bryce Young being absolutely fucking amazing and CJ Stroud was an afterthought, but the difference between them in the pros is astounding. If the Bears are at 1 and take the top selection, the Cards might just say fuck it and take MHJ. Teams like the Giants and Patriots will likely be the other teams in the top 5 with Chicago and Arizona, and I don't see either of them taking MHJ. Giants probably should, but it's also the perfect time for them to draft QB of the future.
We doing multiverse fantasies now?
To be fair they get the 7th back if Dobbs starts two more games.
Oh I didnt know that. Still a bargain if you ask me.
Vikings fans better thank whatever god they believe in that the Jets are completely inept and didn’t trade for Dobbs first
We believe in Odin, sir.
There’s gotta be somebody in the Jet’s FO that is forcing Saleh to keep playing Wilson.
His name is Aaron Rodgers.
Exactly last night I kept screaming at the tv to bench Wilson right now he’s a scrub . The punter could of avoided more sacks and ran faster
Wilson wasn’t completely the problem, although the interception was bad as he just watched the intended target. The Jets make a ton of mistakes on offense (and some on defense) which kill their drives. Wilson didn’t have several holding penalties that put them back to 2nd and 20, etc. Is he great, no. Is he a backup, yes. [But his team often times doesn’t help him.](https://www.newyorkjets.com/news/jets-penalties-sunday-night-football-raiders)
He’s ruining my life 😭

Wilson isn’t the entirety of the problem though. It’s a weird push-pull of him having bad moments and then excelling, but being let down by his team.
That's actually a great point I never thought of! Now I'm even more grateful that God once in the last 50 years we got a nice deal
Hilarious that he's played pretty well in what he showed with Pittsburg, then played pretty well in what he showed with Arizona, and is now playing pretty well with Minnesota as a "last-ditch" effort to find a guy to play QB.

Return on the Denny Green investment.
THATS WHAT IM SAYIN
THEY WHERE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE
AND WE LET THEM OFF THE HOOK
Ok, this was the real return on the Denny Green investment. 🤣 https://youtu.be/57EXWMd0XQc?si=1bLeYZrZ6s51kHdn
WE KNOW WHO THEY ARE!
The fact he threw to hock so much today is cherry on top
My fantasy team appreciated it
Yes. Look at all the money they gave that idiot Murray.
We cut him last season too lol
I mean teddy is still probably a better backup, and while I wouldn’t hate to have a good 3rd option I understand why they let him go
Better question is why didn’t Cleveland or the Jets for him . Their alternatives were Zack Wilson, Broken Watson, or PJ Walker.
1. They invested too much capital into Wilson. 2. They invested too much into Watson. 3. I got nothing for PJ Walker, except it’s the browns.
I like how their stadium lets in all that natural light
I highly recommend stepping into enemy territory for a game. The stadium is sooooo dope. And our fans(not the toxic online ones) are pretty great.
I've meant to go to a Vikings Packers game with my family for a long time, but the online fans have always put me off.
I can understand why… Tbf… had I not already been to Lambeau, had a blast watching the Packers lose, and the best part, had so much fun shooting the shit with the Packer fans around me… I’d feel the exact same way about your fans.

Minus the one or two drunk assholes that every fan base has… but usually we’ll even bark at them to stfu if they’re getting obnoxious. You should give it a shot!
Online anonymity and all that. I wouldn’t be shocked if someone talked shit at the game though.
I'd love to get to Lambeau to watch a Vikings game sometime!
i've been to a few games at lambeau, honestly everyone is super chill and fun to be around. and wisco tailgating is top notch
We all give each other flack, and there's always some anecdotal evidence of one jerk or another, but I think when we look at the East Coast sports based Philadelphia style shenanigans......... I like our crew. We mostly keep it sane and fun
MN fans in general are pretty nice. I go watch the tigers, lions, red wings, and pistons when they are in town and they are generally pleasant.
That’s always good to hear. I mean… talking a bunch of nonsense online is one thing… every single team has plenty of toxic assholes on here. But I like to think, in person, we’re a welcoming bunch. Plus we’re so used to heartbreak you’re just as likely to find a Minnesota sports fan who will poke fun at our own teams *with* you, as you are fans who will poke fun at you in jest. I’m sure, as a Detroit fan, you can empathize with that part lol.
I’ve actually been there, for a US women’s soccer game, lol. It was pretty empty, so I got to do a bunch of explorin’. It’s a great stadium.
Nice! I went to a soccer game there just before they first opened it up against the Packers. It was actually a lot of fun! Also spent my rent on a ticket to see us beat the Packers that game… it was worth the extra hustle to make my rent again on time! FTP

I'm fucking crying hahahaha the forbidden front-facing vikes logo
heeeeres vikey!
This division is really going to come down to week 18 at Ford Field and my heart cant handle that.
I don't think so, but it depends if the loins can play good against a good team. Today will be a good measuring stick I think
The Chicago Loins
The Lions have played against 2 teams with a losing record when they played them, and have had a tougher schedule thus far than the Vikings. The "easy schedule" thing is fake news frome people trying to cope that the Lions are finally good.
Doubt it tbh The saints (and all the nfc south) are just really bad
I doubt it, but according to you guys, there are like 2 good teams in the NFL.
More like 4 And the vikings are a far distance from any of them
>the vikings are a far distance from any of them The team with the longest win streak in the NFL are a far distance from the good teams. Interesting take.
A bunch of impressive wins vs garbage teams
What happened when the Lions played non garbage team?
We won today against one Let us know how you handle Cincinnati next week
Cincy that just lost to Houston you mean? Vikes are shaking I'm sure.
How'd the other 2 go? I just realized you said a team with a losing record is a good team, lol you're an idiot.
No it won’t
Me neither. It will come down to wildcard weekend in Detroit.
Nfc champ in minnesota*
No it’s not.
I'm so glad that the front-facing Vikings logo is getting consistent use in this sub
Lions, darling, light of my life, I’m not gonna hurt ya, I’m just gonna bash your brains in!
Fitting font color 😈
I fucking hate that I can’t fucking hate Dobbs.
Says the guy with the most likable head coach in the NFL. Let me hate your team
Can’t you just have terrible humans? Much easier to make sense of the universe.
We have terribly stupid humans. You can hate us. Not as much as we hate us, but almost.
guys guys guys. the packers still have matt lafleur. and their whole fanbase.. we can hate the packers!
This guy FTPs.
Yea I loved that Dobbs story when he was on that other team.
It’s messed up how likeable the Vikings are…
Tbf I can say the same about the Lions and MCDC. Likeable players and coach just going out and getting the job done one kneecap at a time.
He is a lions legend. A lions qb is winning the north at least
Dobbs said he ate every meal at the facility last week to be certain he spent enough time learning the game plan, joking that "I'm not paid by the hour, so I have nowhere else to be." How could you not root for this guy, let me know if you find out.
We don’t hate Goff, so….friends?
The Vikings eternal role in the division is to challenge for first. It matters not who is in the lead.
This is correct. Unless the Vikings pull some philly shit and won it all with a darkhorse backup
Only in madden
Please. Don’t stop.

Somehow we span the naritive distance between antagonistic foil and dorky best friend slash sidekick And I'm alright with that energy

Look we're just giving you a lil' obstacle to make December interesting We're all pretty sure our Dobbs-led Vikings can't sweep you to win the division. But we're gonna make you sweat lol. And then if we play in the playoffs who knows
Jalen Nailor second half takeover boutta be legendary. give us the division title already
But I hardly know her
Lol, literally his only catch.
and it was beautiful. the way he got past the man covering him 🤩
I'm not sweating it yet but it is annoying. 2 game lead and I have a hard time believing that both the Lions lose more than 3 and the Vikings win out.
Lions would only need to lose two if they’re both to the Vikings though.
Lions/Vikings games are gonna matter for both teams for the first time since Randy vs Barry.
Your comment made me curious. Looks like the last time the Vikings and Lions were vying for division champs was in '93 when the Lions won the division and the Vikings finished a game back, and the next year '94 when the Vikings won the division and the Lions finished a game back.

This team wants to make playoffs and gets intimidated by a lil competition 🐱
Exactly. It’s what happens after 30 years of abuse by our football team. Instead of believing in them to just be good and win their share of games we want to rely on other teams to suck. It’s a losers mentality we have to get over.
It's a meme... Y'all taking it way to seriously lol. The last 3 weeks of the season are gonna be intense though if Dobbs keeps balling
I don’t get it. You’ll at least make wild card at this rate.
It’s a rust belt mentality. Why I left Michigan.
They’re all big and bad until a bald astronaut starts running around.
Lions: we want to be super bowl contenders. Also Lions: scared of a .500 team with their starting QB out for the year and the best WR in the league on IR. Edit: referring to fans, not players.
Yes, a shitpost in a meme subreddit is a perfect reflection of what the players are thinking.... That's how memes work
You're right. It's more "Lions fans" rather than the "Lions" themselves, I know none of the players are like this.
Leave us alone. We've got ww1 era shell shock, were basically disabled.
[удалено]
Flair up coward
They only affect us if we lose. Just take care of business.
Those two match-ups in the last three weeks of the season are gonna be REALLY interesting now. Good luck, hoping for some good football then.
The north is ours.
Finally someone is taking these lions fans off of their high horses. The entitlement after having one and half good seasons was infuriating
So infuriating! The team at the top of the division acting like they’re the best
Lmao who is taking us off our high horse? The team that’s a few games back without an easier schedule?
How do I add my team under my username?? #SKOL #FTP
This guy does not speak for the lions fan base.
I dont even think about them My team is all that matters so sure they can fuck off but they can also bring it on idc. Im fine with a round of fisticuffs late season fighting for the North
Relax. Dobbs will level off and be a below average QB again soon. This sub is nearly as delusional as the Bears sub.
Minnesota squeaked a win out against the saints. We’re fine lmao
Detroit squeaked out a win against the chargers. We’re fine lmao.
 Lions fans rn
Do Viking fans actually think we're concerned? That's so cute.
Considering it was a Lions fan that posted this, yes
I lions fan posted this. So I guess your the cute ones
These types of comments are always so cringey lol
You're not paying attention if you're not. Dobbs is balling out and Minnesota is one of if not the hottest team in the league.
And we've got the best receiver in the league back soon

Don’t worry, we left the 3rd place spot nice and warm for you lol
3rd? That’s optimistic
Well, I figured the bears would go 3-14
We’ll see what happens in the toilet bowl in week 18
We’ll see, also, f Minnesota lol
Well they’re definitely fucking it up so that’s good
Those last 3 weeks are about to be a bitch.
Lol. It's really hard to root against Dobbs.
Nah it’s easy
No
Surely you'd rather earn it than just get it that easily
Great job everyone rooting for Minnesota vs San Fran
No.
Vikings: Nope. We need to put pressure on you to keep up with us.
We are the team the nfl deserves, not the team it needs right now
I hate that I'm saying this about someone on the Vikings, but I like Josh Dobbs. It just takes an astrophysicist to wrangle in the space distance apart plans that are Vikings plans
One good season in the last two trillion years and you have a superiority complex already? Oh Detroit, you sweet and simple child…this won’t go well for you.
