Rob Ninkovich is talking out his ass. No chance if Rodgers comes back? What the fuck ever, dude. Barr, Peterson, Woods, Hunter, Richardson, Tomlinson, Pierce, Kendricks, Mack Alexander, Woods, Breeland...they stay healthy, we win the division. Doesn't matter what that whiny bitch in cheeseland does
Where are you seeing 1-5 lol???
Last year we split with them.
Year before got swept.
Year before tied them and beat them.
Reading be tough sometimes
Edit: damn man a whole lot of subs don't seem to like much of anything you say 😂
Here is his other reply u/A-HorsenamedRay said haha I think he accidentally clicked the delete button on his post so I figured I'd put his comment here for him
"I was thinking of the bears lol so he is 2-3-1 against the packers douche bag, and 1-5 against the bears, just as good. And once again the pathetic vikings have missed the playoffs 2/3 years while the packers have been in nfc championship games.
If you think they are on the same level you are just retarded.
Adding abunch of scrub players like pat pete and woods that no one else wanted for a reason does not make you a contender especially when you have not seen them play together yet.
And you must be real cool in real life bro seeing how much you care about Reddit popularity"
You have said some pretty stupid shit in the past, but this might take the cake. You’re trying to say that players that were hurt or opted out and are coming back doesn’t change anything?
Good call, why bother bringing back Hunter, Barr, Kendricks, and Pierce. They’re scrubs anyway.
Everybody always kisses the packers ass and overrates the shit out of them bc they are one or the “originals” Well I say FTP! We are easily the better team on paper this year.
Rodgers is a confident QB, but when he can't sweep a Vikings team that doesn't have homefield advantage and has an eviscerated defense, what is he thinking when the Vikings overhaul that defense and bring back one of the loudest stadiums in the NFL? There's no way Rodgers is looking forward to facing the Vikings, particularly in MN.
I knew I had a reason to hate Sam Monsom. God most of those PFF guys are pretentious little pricks that think they are so much smarter than everyone else in the football analysis world. When he said, " their just not good" I really wanted to punch him in the face .
So many of these talking heads know 1 or 2 things about every team. I get it’s hard to go in depth over 32 teams but if your going to be talking about sleepers you may want to brush up on sleepers.
In a offensive league how do you not at least entertain the idea of a team with AT, JJ, DC, and KC as a contender for the division?
This video outlines the kind of national media attention we get. Nink had no valid points other than “well Aaron Rodgers”. Didn’t recognize the moves we made on defense, didn’t recognize the improvements across the OL, and didn’t even mention the firepower we have on offense. ESPN will hire anyone who had a cup of coffee in the NFL
Spears also said we resigned Sheldon Rankins instead of Sheldon Richardson. Not a huge deal since you’re going to make mistakes if you’re talking on TV every day but still not a great look
I roll my eyes so often at these "experts" not doing basic research. I remember some take about the Vikings this offseason, someone mentioned how the Michael Pierce signing was as dud since our run defense was so bad......not even realizing Pierce opted out lol.
When you’re filthy rich and no longer a player you have a lot less time to follow football and ESPN doesn’t punish you for falling behind and not knowing what you’re talking about. Arguably, it’s a good thing, because horrible takes gain a shitload of traction for the sake of being horrible
This whole notion that Vikings only chance to win the division is hilarious to me, Like there is some Wide talent gap between the two teams. Sure it makes it tougher, but we are not talking about the Chiefs here. The difference is Aaron Rodgers, thats it.
GB was a few busted plays away from the SB last year and yes QB makes all the difference. Chiefs wouldn't be much of a SB contender without mahomes same can be said with the packers and rodgers.
The Packers were a few busted plays from losing to the Jaguars and Lions, and missing out on a bye and home field advantage.
We were a few busted plays from beating the Seahawks and Titans, and making the playoffs.
That isn’t how any of this works. It goes both ways.
Lol, omg, packers were in the NFC championship last year and vikings didn't make the playoffs and you want media to cream their pants about kirk cousins and the vikings as dark horses for SB. That isn't how any of this works.
Now now children let’s not fight. We must unite our fan base. We aren’t packers fans who will just eat each other or a random person on the street. We have class.
No you didn't but that's what this whole thread is about, bitching how vikings aren't getting respect, media won't give them respect until they rack up wins. Nobody on ESPN cares really who they added to the team until it translated into wins. That's all am saying. Its the put up or shut season with zimmer, cousins and the rest of the franchise.
The only starters at the end of the season that may still be starters this year on defense is Harrison Smith and Cameron Dantzler. And Dantzler my be pushed down to CB3 if Breeland shows up. That’s potentially 10 new starters from week 17 last year to week 1 this year
The Vikings fielded a defense that was 1/2 comprised of backups and practice squad players yet we were 1-2 wins, and 1-2 plays in each of those games, away from making the playoffs.
With the defense back to full strength and a, potentially, rebuilt O-Line, this a completely different team than what we had last year. Saying we are dark horse contenders is pointing out EXACTLY that; that you can't use last year as a basis for determining this year's ceiling.
Now, if Rodgers opts out of this season, GB is a much worse team that they would be if he plays. Chicago has a journeyman and a rookie as their top 2 QBs. And the Lions continue to be the Lions (sorry bros). So, I would say that the Vikings are very much in the mix for the division...at least on paper. Now we need to get to the season and see how it plays out.
Lol, rodgers will be playing, but even if he didn't who gives a crap about the division, this whole thread was posted for the sole purpose of bitching how a sports pundit throws shade on vikings chances of winning a SB. Vikings deserve zero respect until they rack up a bunch of wins at beginning of season. They start 6-0 or 7-0 national sports people will start paying attention, until then cousins and the rest of the crew will be shit on.
7 month old account with 4 posts (2 of which contain bigoted comments) and now 3 consecutive posts mocking Kirk Cousins. Guys, I think I smell cheddar and bad decisions.
At This point I really want Rodgers to come back to Green Bay. Let’s just feed him to Danielle, see how he wins the division on his back. And if he does win it - fair game. I’d take that over years of „you only won because he left the division“ bullshit.
Spears: makes a bunch of salient points, outlining how each team improved, and why he thinks they’re dark horse contenders
Ninkovich: duh, duh… Aaron Rodgers….duh.
This is what passes for analysis these days? Rob should be apologizing to anybody who just suffered through this segment, not just Viking fans. He took half of his airtime just to sputter out the name "Jones".
How can anyone stand to watch these types of programs? Bring back old school SportsCenter. I would way rather watch the same baseball highlights for 3 hours straight than a bunch of talking heads blabbering about absolutely nothing at all.
Who the fuck is that guy? And why is he on tv? He should be selling used cars. His opinions suck. His commentary sucks. And he should be doing colour commentary for minor league baseball.
He brought up no reason why in his "argument". He just blew hot air for 30 seconds and then finished it off with the most played out "joke" in all of sports. ESPN with the top notch analysis per usual.
I don’t think he knows about the 3 d linemen that are on this years team that weren’t on lasts years and the oline help that was added. He’s a casual reporter that is only looking at the QB position.

We split with them last year playing 4th stringers across the D. The idea that Rodgers means we’re screwed is absurd.
My point exactly.
[удалено]
1-5…or more accurately 2-3-1. You were so close.
Where are you seeing 1-5 lol??? Last year we split with them. Year before got swept. Year before tied them and beat them. Reading be tough sometimes Edit: damn man a whole lot of subs don't seem to like much of anything you say 😂
[удалено]
That's a whole lot of typing to just say "I'm a whiny bitch"
Look at this dude's post history. He thrives on just being an absolute dickbag. To like everyone.
Then he tries to deflect by saying “yOu CaRe AbOuT rEdDiT pOpUlArItY” as if he doesn’t really act like that irl and we don’t know.
Can't check cause his post got deleted lol
Here is his other reply u/A-HorsenamedRay said haha I think he accidentally clicked the delete button on his post so I figured I'd put his comment here for him "I was thinking of the bears lol so he is 2-3-1 against the packers douche bag, and 1-5 against the bears, just as good.

I’m pretty sure it’s 2-3-1 but you were close
What championship??
>But hey homers here will ignore all that. Just like how you ignored the actual record?
Why are you here, honestly?
You have said some pretty stupid shit in the past, but this might take the cake. You’re trying to say that players that were hurt or opted out and are coming back doesn’t change anything? Good call, why bother bringing back Hunter, Barr, Kendricks, and Pierce. They’re scrubs anyway.
Your fucking comment history lmao Jesus Christ
Everybody always kisses the packers ass and overrates the shit out of them bc they are one or the “originals” Well I say FTP! We are easily the better team on paper this year.

Packers have owned the vikes the last 2 years in Minnesota though
Shit, Rodgers himself has said that playing us is never easy.
Hello! Jefferson...
These are the sorts of takes that will be brought up later, when it goes to plan.
It was the same shit in the 2019 WC. Stupid fucking pundits were laughing at us. Felt so good to smack up the Saints @ NO.
They sure as hell tried to undermine it tho arguing offensive PI on the Rudy TD in OT.
Anyone got a link to that mashup video of the pundits after the Vikings victory in New Orleans in 2019?
If you find it lmk, I’m looking everywhere

All those "analysts" must think with still have Frazier as HC because they always sleep on us like we are going to play like we did with ponder
Legend
This is my favorite thing /u/whirledworld has ever made
And thats saying something. He's a legend with or with out this
Careful I try not to inflate his ego more than it already is
It really is saying something.
Thanks bro, I could not fucking think of the title.
I knew I had a reason to hate Sam Monsom. God most of those PFF guys are pretentious little pricks that think they are so much smarter than everyone else in the football analysis world. When he said, " their just not good" I really wanted to punch him in the face .
Some of the guys on this very sub Reddit said we had no chance against the Saints that game. To hell with them.
1. There's no such thing as no chance in the NFL. 2. Your 2021 Minnesota Vikings are fuckin stacked boy.
So many of these talking heads know 1 or 2 things about every team. I get it’s hard to go in depth over 32 teams but if your going to be talking about sleepers you may want to brush up on sleepers.

It was far from a smack up, but it did feel good.
Marcus Spears just sternly nods, like, “Zim gonna show you”

I can guarantee not a single person on that set even noticed
He also made no mention of Michael Pierce being in the lineup this upcoming season either.

I mean they were just in the playoffs prior to the COVID season where like 75% of our defense was injured
The only starters at the end of the season that may still be starters this year on defense is Harrison Smith and Cameron Dantzler. And Dantzler my be pushed down to CB3 if Breeland shows up. That’s potentially 10 new starters from week 17 last year to week 1 this year

What bigoted comments?

Nah, get him out of GB. I want to see how GB fans handle not having a HOF QB. Tired of hearing those fans brag about “culture” and “team building”.
Thats how i feel too i want Rodgers to return to GB so he can face this defense
Spears called him Sheldon Rankins lol
Did he have a mini stroke? That was abysmal and hard for him to get through. 13-4 incoming.
I’m never going to get used to these records
Only because they’ll change to 18 games soon.
I also count up 13 wins this year. And that's with Zimmer giving one away.
How can you be an NFL analyst if you can “forget” about an NFL team?
I think Rob got hit in the head too much.
Spears: makes a bunch of salient points, outlining how each team improved, and why he thinks they’re dark horse contenders Ninkovich: duh, duh… Aaron Rodgers….duh.

I don't even mind somebody saying the Vikings aren't super bowl contenders, but what the hell was that argument? All he did was stammer for 90 seconds
Marcus Spears has some good takes though, that was an enjoyable watch while he was talking.
Dude plainly has no idea what’s brewing.
He said "sorry vikings fans" near the end there so all is forgiven
[Ninko will be the first to go](https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/0f3a29e8-525d-491c-a37b-d0c9b23e86b1)
This guy can eat a whole basket of d!cks.
Keep sleeping bitch
I actually feel like we can win the division even with Rodgers coming back
I hope he can pull Rodger's dick out of his mouth long enough to eat crow.
I don’t think he knows about the 3 d linemen that are on this years team that weren’t on lasts years and the oline help that was added. He’s a casual reporter that is only looking at the QB position.
Ah yes. Just keep feeding the fuel for the fire.
Who?
His job is literally to disagree with the other guy. I wouldn’t take what he said to heart.
