Apply the obvious Siri pattern to all phases of what’s occurred here. It all makes sense to me. Why do you think I was so wary of exactly The Collapse happening last season? 10-1 team yet I’m the only fan here complaining about what so obviously was coming. Why do you think that is? How did I see it and know?

LMAO you didn't call for any collapse until AFTER it happened LMAO,what a whack job. OC/DC changed???? ANd I'm sure there were issues before that that led to those decisions? Not it can't be!!!!!. You also "predicted" a Vikes win tonight

Aikmen says the Vikes got 14 wins…but it’s kind of all for naught if you don’t do anything with it.

Duh..just BRILLIANT!!!!!! Stating the obvious is just an AMAZING "I called it"

How ready is Fangio for McVay?

How ready is McVay for Fangio?

The issues last year..

1. Replace the players....LB, S, CB1, Nickel,...and get the cancer playing DE out of the locker room.  Just happened to coincide with the Georgia players stepping up.

2.  You upgrade the OL, which included moving a pro bowl alternative guard back to his natural position of C and add an elite weapon in the backfield. 

3.  You put experienced coordinators in to work with a better and deeper roster.

4. The coach can go back to 2022 formula that worked, where he doesn't have to babysit the OC.

That's reality, not any made up stuff from " theory " or emotional bs comments about a book, a belt or a NY fan at a diner that has nothing to do with winning or losing a game!

Like saying "you know,if the Vikes had scored more points than LA they could have won this game" I'm a genius!!!!

LMAO from the horses mouth(Hurts)- "Kelce was holding me back in the learning process" This statement assumes he was already ready to go and was being suppressed by not doing it. His words,not mine. So I will try a 7th time. Are you firing Siri after this season?(Yes/no) Why or why not

The assumption here is that Hurts makes all the protection calls.

Just curious...how was the protection when he had the concussion?  Obviously he wasn't calling any protection then... so why assume Hurts has all that responsibility now?   

Do we  feel Pickett and McKee were making protection calls? 

I don't think so... I do think Hurts has input... I think their is always a little input from the QB...at least communicating with the person on the OL who is calling them.  But I don’t think it was ever ALL HURTS.   Because then explain the success if the pass protection when he was out? Which was recently.

I also don't think it's such rocket science that a 5th year QB and 3rd year C couldn't handle it.  

We gotta stop with this idea that this game is so complicated and that these guys don't spend al the time they do studying.

No No, Big Dom saved this team. We should all know this "fact'

How ready will the Rams players be for a trip to Philly at face the Eagles players in the cold at the Linc?  

I understand the Vikes won 14 games, but WOW Darnold looked like his old lost self the last 2. It will be interesting to see if he sticks in Minnesota

There you go.... that's another thing...if the assumption was Siri needed Dom...then they fixed that too.  

I don't get the mindset of Ham...can he just not get past that things needed to be fixed in the first place that he can't see they are fixed now?

I don't get the mindset of such lust for Hurts and hatred for Howie and Siri?

Or why he doesn't get the Reddick situation of why he was a cancer they has to get rid of?

IDK ask Ham, he knows it all in Hamityville. I believe they have beat up RB's after tonight. Going to be an issue for them. I don't think it will be too great an issue,at least not for Stafford after having many seasons in Detroit

9 sacks generated by the Rams is concerning

Yeah you are right,we really should have overpaid to keep Sanders here. Great call🤣 What brilliant move would have made(aka who do you sign) if the Barkley deal never happened? List please and sorry but Bark isn't putting up 2000 yards rushing behind ANY other O line besides ours(Ravens possibly),so yep O lines matter to RB's

Never said Oline doesn’t matter to RBs. Just completely disagreed with you both that RBs don’t matter.

I think it would behoove them to rent a cold weather practice facility over this way,but lord they have so many issues going on at home. I hope it's a well played game

When did either of us EVER say RB's don't matter? I never did

If the Barkley deal never happened who were you going to sign and at what salary?

I was very clearly sounding the alarms warning if a complete breakdown last season.

 Yes I was wrong about the Vikes winning tonight. It happens. At least I can admit when I’m wrong.

SInce you like misquoting me often here is what I said (paraphrasing). A great O line will make any medicore RB look good therefore(at the time there was no Barkley) I would not OVERPAY a RB. Since when did that translate into RB's don't matter??? You wanted to overpay Sanders and I did not

When? There were obviously inter orgaizational staffing issues LONG before we went on a losing streak. We ALL said last year it was a cake schedule until near the end. Going 10-1 was not a shock with the TRASH teams we played and we ALL said the end of the year things got tougher,so combine all those things and EVERYONE was NOT surprised we lost alot of our final games. You didn't call it anymore than anyone else. This years schedule not all that hard either, are we going to collapse now?

So you are seconding that Siri was short cutting our franchise QB because he could just ride with Kelce doing so many tasks.

They had a nice run,they have things they can build from,they will be back next year

Siri wasn't holding up Hurts learning curve. From what he stated Kelce was holding him BACK. What part of this can't you understand? After 5-6 years there are things QB's should know by now and Hurts STILL fails on them. How is this anyone elses fault if he can't learn a damn thing? Hurts will NOT advance,this is the best he gets. Hire whatever "geniuses" you want,the man has reached his limit
