I kind of feel the same way. Although, he absoluteyly fleeced the Vikings for 6 years promising something he knew he coulnd't deliver. I guess that's the same for every team he's played for, though. That part of him I don't respect.
Not THIS defense. The core guys are still there but there’s a lot of new faces on that front 7 and secondary. The roster took under a pretty big underhaul with having his contract off the books. I’m a huge Kirk fan and loved having him, but I am thrilled with the ability to build out the roster in the post-Kirk era
I like Kirk's character and his philosophy. Get up off the ground, keep putting one foot in front of the other, and be grateful. I think that's how we should all look at life.
Just pick yourself back up and keep up the fight. Until anything were to change with playing time, that’s all you can do. I’m looking forward to Cousins having a big game this week. It’s been a rough stretch recently but this is a great opportunity for a bounce back game against a tough opponent. Silence the critics, Kirk! #RiseUp
@@Skolvikings24 The Falcons’ defense is gonna have a field day against Darnold. They sacked Herbert FIVE times. And with how long that Darnold holds onto ball (longest in the league), they are gonna eat. He also is a turnover machine so they’ll get some interceptions. Jones fumbles the ball and the Falcons are good at punching it out. His teammates love Kirk and are wanna win the game for him. Besides that every time the Vikings have faced a competent veteran quarterback, they have lost.
@@Paula-mv8im didnt kirk throw 4 interceptions and also get sacked 5 times whats your point. the falcons are not a good football team and I don't know why you think they are gonna magically keep on geet 5 sacks a game which there not going to do cause they are last in sacks in the league. and we know kirks slow and always eats sacks since he cant move outside the pocket so the vikes gonna get him to the ground at least 6 times. have fun with this low IQ take.
Always a consumate professional and a decent guy...yeah he is struggling right now but he will give the Falcons his best effort to win on Sunday...Humble and honest...win or lose he will do his darndest to be the Quarterback Falcons want him to be. Always knew if he was on the field my Vikes had a chance...right down to the last few mins of the 4th quarter...Atlanta is fortunate to have him just because he is a true warrior...good luck to you all on Sunday. I hope it's a great game either way. Remember your competitor is not your enemy he is your challenge to be the best you can be....Skol....👍
@@FalconsGirl1 Pitts has to be the worst blocker of all TEs. Even that play with McCloud where he almost got a TD, Pitts was right there. 2 people he could have blocked, and he blocks neither. Smh. Hope we move on from him and get someone more balanced so we can run the ball with a TE package. He can't even chip block correctly.
It was bittersweet seeing Kirk leave the Vikings but glad it happened… they would not have picked up Greenard, Van Ginkel, Cashman, Gilly, Griffin, and all the other FAs that have made the D really good this year. People forget how much better he became with O’Connell 3 years ago… now it’s confirmed he gets the best out of QBs like Darnold and Cousins. Hope he doesn’t have a good game today but hope the rest of his career goes well!!!
This is literally the ultimate test for him to bounce back. Former team, must win game. Can’t do it? Then bench him. If he overcomes this. Then problem solved for now
Thanks for everything kirk-- Said when you left that ill be cheering for you except this week, please remember the last few years and throw it to the guys in purple again a few more times!
Yeah ,but if Kirko can beat the Blitz often times explosive plays can happen. But the Falcons will have to be Dailed in. It's going to be alot of silent count.
Glad to see Kirk is still a class act, we definitely loved that about him when he was a Vike. While I hope we win Sunday, I do hope the fans in attendance give Kirk a warm welcome. To the ATL fans, Kirk will bounce back…just hopefully not this Sunday lol
Remember...whenever he has had a bad game, he has played lights out the next game. At the most, he has had two bad games and then the third one he plays REALLY well. The last time he threw four interceptions in a game, he got benched and then won the starting job over the first rounder, the "future of the franchise"
This is it right here. If he goes to Minnesota and makes this organization looks stupid and his former organization looks like geniuses I think it's over after this season. If he plays poorly it's a wrap as the starter. If his arm strength looks poor again then you have to move on.
As a Vikings fan I absolutely wish Kirk all the best. He’s always a class act and he’s incredibly talented. Things haven’t always gone his way but he always handles it with class and humility. We had a lot of fun with him at the helm and it will be cool to see him back in Minnesota on Sunday.
In my view, Kirk Cousins represents the Falcons' effort to cling to the past of the NFL. This is not meant as a slight against Cousins, but it will be highly challenging for someone of his style to achieve "consistent" success in a league that no longer values a stationary quarterback.
@groovydong lmao Show me where I stole it, lol, or did I steal it from myself because the other video you saw this comment was me saying it. 😂 dude, read the names clown 🤡
@groovydong Show me where I stole this from? I'll wait. Or do you mean I copied my comment from another video and pasted it here? Lol, dude, read the names.
Kirk if you lose week 14 against the Vikings you need to bench yourself…. We expect wayyy more from you than the amount of money you got from the falcons
And he is a 500 QB. We are so happy to have him out of MN!!! He is going to ruin your whole franchise. Coach will get fired, GM will get fired and the falcons won’t have enough money to get anymore talent or keep any talent. And have a mediocre draft position with the 500 record at the end of the year.
More like conflicted, because he took the change cus of money. He is smart, he is one of the highest paid players in history, but he def has some feelings for the VIkings and probably wished they gotten a ring but he had Zimmer who was too scared of a coach to kill it.
I’m spent weeks complaining but enough is enough. RAHEEM, Kirk etc. You guys got this! Make us believe again. Defense show up like last week and ride the run game to an upset road win! RISE UP BABY!!!!
Lets go folks, i know its been a rought stretch but all we can do is BE better, go back to what were did the first 9 weeks and build, we have all of the pieces were too good to lose 4 in a row, we cant collapse we can still trun it around RISE…TF..UPPPPPPPPP😤😤😤
Kirk we will always love you as Minnesota fans we're not going to be able to kill you we're going to have to win this game though but fans don't forget Kirk's comebacks for the Minnesota Vikings he can play ball yet we just got to be on our toes and not give him any time go Vikings
Diehard vikes fan here - I spent 6 (mostly miserable) years with this gentleman at the helm and let me say this, yes, Kirk will throw 4 picks in a game where he shouldve thrown 4 tds and you will think “wtf is this guy seeing on the field and why is he our QB1 still?” Then the real Kirk shows up and doesn’t let go until the clock says 0:00. I expect a high level game out of Kirk and a really focused approach. You guys will be in this game until the end, especially with Kirks “homecoming” face on
So will Rodgers, Stafford and Wilson. That's what happens when you play for 13+ years in the league and the money that quarterbacks make goes up every year.
Unless Penix can pass protect and catch the ball as well, starting him is not gonna help. He doesn't gonna make the Falcons any better. Their problems are far deeper than the quarterback situation, like poor pass protection, not calling any play action and receivers giving up on routes or not getting separation. Kirk gives the Falcons the best chance to win, not some unproven rookie with a significant injury history....smh
And Kirk knows that Flores' defense better than Stafford and Goff who beat the Vikings. He was able to watch them for a half a season after he got hurt.
@Paula-mv8im you Failcon fans are going through the Kirk process. It's cute to see y'all still have faith. Kirk will stick a dagger in your heart and end up with a draft pick in the teens with no playoff berth. Can't wait to watch all this unfold, popcorn ready.
Raheem Morris is not gonna bench Kirk...smh. The Falcons are first in the NFC South and have the tie-breaker over the Buccaneers. He’s the best chance for the Falcons to win the division, not a rookie quarterback with a significant injury.
It'll be a homecoming for Captain Kirk. But he never took a pay cut in Minnesota while a lot of other veteran starters were asked to to stay in purple. He's a humble Christian but always said that he expects to be paid his value. 😄
News flash....every player wants to be paid his value. How much did Justin Jefferson get paid??? He got paid what he felt he was valued at. Hockenson got a huge contract, too.
At least penix will get rid of the ball when needed more safely. Give him a chance to save your season. Your first team defense knows he's ready. Practiced all summer long against penix Jr.😊
Of course not. Not many people have that killer instinct and obsession like a Tom Brady or a Kobe Bryant. Kirk's just collecting checks while being just "good enough."
Kirk works extremely hard all of time. He's a notorious perfectionist who goes to incredible lengths to prepare as much as he can for every game during the season. He is a cerebral guy. Early in his career, he realized that he was working so much that it was making his performance worse. If he wasn’t sleeping, he was working. Taking Tuesdays off helps keep him from over-thinking things and weighing too much information in his preparation and for staying healthy. Nobody how many hours a day Kirk puts in Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and how many hours he put in watching film right after a game on Sunday.
I don't know why Robinson is not calling for more designed roll outs and play action. We’ve all seen him run for yards plus he runs off after he gives the ball to the RBs.
It's going to a tough game.. MN needs this win to keep pace DET and GB who will have already have played, ATL this is needed to probably help stay on top of TB
Hello fellow falcons fans. Lol fr tho im a vikings fan but kirks gonna ball out this weekend imo no way he doesnt show up. Please just keep checking it down to bijan.
Dude gets it. They decided I was the bridge. I'll sing from their song sheet. He's running the 4th best passing offense in the NFL right now despite some serious adversity. The guy behind him can run but would be a dumpster fire against NFL defense. The Vikes will throw the kitchen sink at him. Good Luck
Not against it. I think this game is make or break for him. As someone who enjoys watching him play, I think if he only does ok he should get benched. He needs a big game.
Keep dreaming that's gonna happen. The only way Penix starts is if the Falcons don't want to win. The regular season is not the time to see how your unproven rookie with a significant injury history does...smh
Im a Bucs fan and as much as i would want that to be true, the way we played with the Panthers…. Im not so sure about that. We probablt will both finish 9-8 and y’all have the tiebreaker
@TheBeggies95 You guys only really played that bad because Baker was playing probably as injured as he was week 18 last year and with a Falcons loss and Bucs win this Sunday Tampa will control their own destiny even without the tie breaker. Btw I'm a Vikings fan who is also a bit of a Baker fan so that's why I especially want my boys to win this game.
Kirk has only ever thrown four interceptions one other time in his 13 year career and that was TEN years ago. And he's gonna throw 6 in this game??? Besides that, Kirk knows Flores' defense. Sounds more like Darnold who had done that his whole career.
Seriously? Were you living under a rock in 2022 when Kirk led the league in game winning drives (8) and led the Vikings to the greatest comeback in NFL history??? How about using more than one brain cell?? At his core, Kirk Cousins is a fiery competitor. We don’t get the “You Like That!!!” game unless he cared about overcoming doubt by winning. We don’t hear him repeat that phrase - that rhymes with “puck”- during pre-season practices with the 49ers in 2022 if he didn’t have a desire to win. And then there was the time that Kirk forcefully grabbed Zimmer and basically told him, “I just saved your job”. In the 2017 Pro Bowl, when he was a pending free agent mind you, he chased down Aqib Talib nearly the entire length of the football ball and swiped down with his right throwing arm to cause a fumble and prevent a touchdown. When asked why he did it, Kirk said he wanted to win. ua-cam.com/users/shortsQE9_x0ck2cw ua-cam.com/video/S8_5xIP2fIU/v-deo.html
Man- as i look back , that achillies tear was just one of the more unfortunate injuries that ive seen a qb take cause kirk/ koc were on their way . I remember last year . As good as his stats were, it was whenn jj went down and kirk had the best 3 and a half games in his career . The oline ( interior was finslly blocking well ) , flores akready had defense half way turned around. Kevin was in kirks ear ....." manipulating the line". He was moving as that was one of koc s biggest message to kirk. However so hard to justify a big contract off that type of injury on his velocity leg.....a 3rd degree tear with knowledge that he'll be 36 at seasons start. Last year , the refs took an overtime from kirk & vikings vs chiefs as they actually picked up a PI flag on Addison late 4th ( and mattison dropped a 10 yard td pass). They would've strolled into playoffs and who knows ? The unluckiest ( the bad defenses, bad olines and then injury) luckiest player ( the money - hes actuslly gotten the bag 6 times now including the 2 24M tags from redskins) in football. We'll see how viking season ends .For first time ,im a little optimistic of the Sam Darnold .I just dont know but this season cant be wasted.
When you least expect it, those Atlanta Falcons will shake up the world. They have never been great frontrunners (except when we beat GB down in the playoffs 16') but they will pull out a win when their backs are against the wall. You heard it here first....Kirk's gonna bounce back Sunday against Minn and get us a big win. Book it!
Kirk, needs to be the game manager that he has always been. He doesn’t need to play like he did against the chargers. No more pressing the situation. Just give the ball to the playmakers and watch the show.
Vikings got a crazy blitz💯 If Kirk don’t get the ball out fast he’s cooked. He’s a statue in the pocket that won’t fly against the Vikes. They will abandon 3 step drop backs and play action by the second half because of the pressure. Kirk robbed Arthur but it’s not on him he’s chasing the bag. If you stupid enough to cash out, if I was Kirk I would’ve robbed him too😂
I can’t wait for us to potentially end this mans career. After the amount of money he asked for after he was supposed to be the missing piece to win us a Super Bowl.
My goodness! As a Kirk hater, you take the cake. You should be ashamed of yourself. News flash.....Raheem Morris is not gonna bench Kirk...smh. The Falcons are first in the NFC South and have the tie-breaker over the Buccaneers BECAUSE of Kirk. He’s the best chance for the Falcons to win the division, not a rookie quarterback with a significant injury history. Try to follow.....”….. In order for a quarterback to be the "missing piece", the status quo has to be kept the same. Kirk out-performed Keenum but everything else got worse in 2018: ---the run game dropped from 7th to 30th ---pass protection dropped from 17th to 27th ---the defense regressed --Add to that, coaching makes a difference, too. Zimmer’s outdating and predictable coaching style made a huge difference in the wins and losses. There were a lot of games where Kirk got the team in a position to win, and Zimmer’s play calling lost the game. Your comment illustrates a fundamental misunderstanding about team sports. This isn’t golf or tennis. Perhaps if Kirk also played RB, WR, TE, o-line, linebacker, defensive end, corner, safety, and kicker, the team would have won more. Your remark is childish and patently absurd.
If Kirk can get through this a be consistent not for 3 games then going back to throwing interceptions but fix your problem ASAP he can or could be great and put the hatters in there place if not You would need to be beached oh no I’m sorry you would need retire.. and take that coach with you,, oh yeah take that kicker with you,, between the three of you . The Falcons will never have a chance …
The Vikings’ defense would feast on Penix. A big part of Flores’ defense is confusing the opposing quarterback. Even second year quarterbacks like Stroud, Love and Purdy did not do well.
I love kirk but this was always the issue. Consistency. Kirk can do everything you ask him to do, he can also do the exact opposite as well. Hopefully he gets back on track! He is a good QB no doubt but he needs to play well all 4 quarters. I miss you kirky 😞😕💔 #SKOL

I don’t even wanna watch the game. We are going to get embarrassed. I hate that I’m a fan of the falcons
Vikings are a great team on a mission folks. Just sayin
Too bad you're quarterback is Keenum 2.0.
@Paula-mv8im keenum? Wtf. You don't know football. Sammy D is a high draft pick in a better situation. He's naturally better than keenum but ok.
Oh he us going to get crushed. Vikings know all his tricks.
And Kirk knows that Flores' defense better than Stafford and Goff who beat the Vikings. He was able to watch them for a half a season after he got hurt.
@Paula-mv8im you Failcon fans are going through the Kirk process. It's cute to see y'all still have faith. Kirk will stick a dagger in your heart and end up with a draft pick in the teens with no playoff berth. Can't wait to watch all this unfold, popcorn ready.
I'm so sorry Kirk. Loved you in MN but you are about to get benched. Hope that money was worth it
Raheem Morris is not gonna bench Kirk...smh. The Falcons are first in the NFC South and have the tie-breaker over the Buccaneers. He’s the best chance for the Falcons to win the division, not a rookie quarterback with a significant injury.
@@Paula-mv8imKirk has the significant injury. Penix has been healthy since his 2 years at Washington University.😢
@@Paula-mv8imthe ownership might have something to say about benching Cousins. 😭
It'll be a homecoming for Captain Kirk. But he never took a pay cut in Minnesota while a lot of other veteran starters were asked to to stay in purple. He's a humble Christian but always said that he expects to be paid his value. 😄
News flash....every player wants to be paid his value. How much did Justin Jefferson get paid??? He got paid what he felt he was valued at. Hockenson got a huge contract, too.
If kirk can beat the Vikings defense this Sunday, kirk is worth the money.
Love that the Falcons fans are experiencing what Kirk Cousins has to offer 😂
Atlanta gonna learn the hard way like the Vikings did.end of story.
Cuzzo I’m counting on you show them Vikings wat they gave up come on falcons we need a win 🏅 let’s do this rise up
Kirk reminds me of a UPS driver who somehow lucked up and became a starting NFL quarterback.
I would say Minshew or Devito come to mind with your comment lol made me laugh though
Right😂😂😂
At least penix will get rid of the ball when needed more safely. Give him a chance to save your season. Your first team defense knows he's ready. Practiced all summer long against penix Jr.😊
Kirk's words fall on an entire locker room of deaf ears. Break the glass and use #9.
Yeah they probably wouldn't have won a game with Penix
@@fasteddycj1980I'm not so sure about that. Other rookies not as experienced
have won games rookie season.😮
Practice ain't the same as an NFL game.
@@ryanmoore7385 Kirk's teammates love him and don't care what the idiot fans think who are so fickle it's embarrassing...smh
Did he work this Tuesday?
In the beginning he said it's good to be bacc 😂😂😂 this fool not even giving Brian Flores a full week. He's a damn fool lmao.
Of course not. Not many people have that killer instinct and obsession like a Tom Brady or a Kobe Bryant. Kirk's just collecting checks while being just "good enough."
Hey Kirko. Do you work Tuesdays in ATL?
I couldnt help but notice he mentioned getting in the building today, which was Wednesday. Sounds like he got his way in ATL too.
Kirk works extremely hard all of time. He's a notorious perfectionist who goes to incredible lengths to prepare as much as he can for every game during the season. He is a cerebral guy. Early in his career, he realized that he was working so much that it was making his performance worse. If he wasn’t sleeping, he was working. Taking Tuesdays off helps keep him from over-thinking things and weighing too much information in his preparation and for staying healthy. Nobody how many hours a day Kirk puts in Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and how many hours he put in watching film right after a game on Sunday.
@@Paula-mv8im Too bad that never translates to actual success that would make his bloated contracts worth it...
The play calling needs to be better. If there is a vet player that never has had a skid like this in his career then it's always coaching.
I don't know why Robinson is not calling for more designed roll outs and play action. We’ve all seen him run for yards plus he runs off after he gives the ball to the RBs.
its both. play calling not great but kirk clearly missed some wide-open throws by throwing at the receivers feet.
It's going to a tough game.. MN needs this win to keep pace DET and GB who will have already have played, ATL this is needed to probably help stay on top of TB
Hello fellow falcons fans. Lol fr tho im a vikings fan but kirks gonna ball out this weekend imo no way he doesnt show up. Please just keep checking it down to bijan.
Spread the ball around
Kirk always does. He's gonna go where his reads take him.
I hope he has a great game because he is very capable of it
Kirk have a great sunday
Go Falcons🖤❤ Come on Kirk you gotta Crashout or The Season is over 😤
Kirk will get standing ovation,then down hill!
He will be alright
As a Vikings fan I’m so glad we got rid of Kirk
Id rather lose with a rookie.
This is kirks last big contract.
400 mil not to shabby for career!😮😅😊
Dude gets it. They decided I was the bridge. I'll sing from their song sheet. He's running the 4th best passing offense in the NFL right now despite some serious adversity. The guy behind him can run but would be a dumpster fire against NFL defense. The Vikes will throw the kitchen sink at him. Good Luck
The tampering response was classic
lol this defense gave him fits during training camp last year, and it’s even better this year. SKOL Vikes!
12:08 brother you didn't even need to make any plays, you just had to not give away the game and you did lol
I think we start Kirk next week then penix against the raiders and see how he does
Not against it. I think this game is make or break for him. As someone who enjoys watching him play, I think if he only does ok he should get benched. He needs a big game.
Keep dreaming that's gonna happen. The only way Penix starts is if the Falcons don't want to win. The regular season is not the time to see how your unproven rookie with a significant injury history does...smh
IF I WAS A QUARTERBACK I WOULD SAY TOO WORDS
Cant wait to draft a rb.
This game and the stadium will have a playoff type atmosphere. I can't wait to watch this game, SKOL!
Pitts needs to be part of the plan or it's easy to defend this group.
if the falcons lose this game and tampa wins their game. tampa will win the division
Im a Bucs fan and as much as i would want that to be true, the way we played with the Panthers…. Im not so sure about that. We probablt will both finish 9-8 and y’all have the tiebreaker
@TheBeggies95 You guys only really played that bad because Baker was playing probably as injured as he was week 18 last year and with a Falcons loss and Bucs win this Sunday Tampa will control their own destiny even without the tie breaker. Btw I'm a Vikings fan who is also a bit of a Baker fan so that's why I especially want my boys to win this game.
@@ariejohnson1944 The Falcons control their own destiny, too.
Going against the team with the most ints 6 int game coming up or a kirk masterpiece
Kirk has only ever thrown four interceptions one other time in his 13 year career and that was TEN years ago. And he's gonna throw 6 in this game??? Besides that, Kirk knows Flores' defense. Sounds more like Darnold who had done that his whole career.
Vikings are so excited to crush cousins.. and he plays for yards … not wins
Seriously? Were you living under a rock in 2022 when Kirk led the league in game winning drives (8) and led the Vikings to the greatest comeback in NFL history??? How about using more than one brain cell?? At his core, Kirk Cousins is a fiery competitor. We don’t get the “You Like That!!!” game unless he cared about overcoming doubt by winning. We don’t hear him repeat that phrase - that rhymes with “puck”- during pre-season practices with the 49ers in 2022 if he didn’t have a desire to win. And then there was the time that Kirk forcefully grabbed Zimmer and basically told him, “I just saved your job”. In the 2017 Pro Bowl, when he was a pending free agent mind you, he chased down Aqib Talib nearly the entire length of the football ball and swiped down with his right throwing arm to cause a fumble and prevent a touchdown. When asked why he did it, Kirk said he wanted to win. ua-cam.com/users/shortsQE9_x0ck2cw
ua-cam.com/video/S8_5xIP2fIU/v-deo.html
If I have to hear the same thing next week someone should be benched.
THATS WHY YOU NEVER GIVE A PLAYER THE MONEY FIRST YOU GIVE THEM A LITTLE BIT
I want Kirk to have a huge game, so I can see the fake fans switch up
Refund?
Man- as i look back , that achillies tear was just one of the more unfortunate injuries that ive seen a qb take cause kirk/ koc were on their way . I remember last year . As good as his stats were, it was whenn jj went down and kirk had the best 3 and a half games in his career . The oline ( interior was finslly blocking well ) , flores akready had defense half way turned around. Kevin was in kirks ear ....." manipulating the line". He was moving as that was one of koc s biggest message to kirk.
However so hard to justify a big contract off that type of injury on his velocity leg.....a 3rd degree tear with knowledge that he'll be 36 at seasons start.
Last year , the refs took an overtime from kirk & vikings vs chiefs as they actually picked up a PI flag on Addison late 4th ( and mattison dropped a 10 yard td pass). They would've strolled into playoffs and who knows ?
The unluckiest ( the bad defenses, bad olines and then injury) luckiest player ( the money - hes actuslly gotten the bag 6 times now including the 2 24M tags from redskins) in football.
We'll see how viking season ends .For first time ,im a little optimistic of the Sam Darnold .I just dont know but this season cant be wasted.
...and picked up the flag at U.S bank ?????
I'm gonna be in the market for a new TV if he throws 4 picks again.
Is this game prime time??? GO VIKES💜💛💜💛
Honestly as a vikes fan I hope he does great so he bounces back and don’t get benched but not quite enough to win 😅
When you least expect it, those Atlanta Falcons will shake up the world. They have never been great frontrunners (except when we beat GB down in the playoffs 16') but they will pull out a win when their backs are against the wall. You heard it here first....Kirk's gonna bounce back Sunday against Minn and get us a big win.
Book it!
Kirk, needs to be the game manager that he has always been. He doesn’t need to play like he did against the chargers. No more pressing the situation. Just give the ball to the playmakers and watch the show.
hes washed, he cant even get it to the playmakers
@@lavs8696 then where do the completions come from?
Vikings got a crazy blitz💯 If Kirk don’t get the ball out fast he’s cooked. He’s a statue in the pocket that won’t fly against the Vikes. They will abandon 3 step drop backs and play action by the second half because of the pressure. Kirk robbed Arthur but it’s not on him he’s chasing the bag. If you stupid enough to cash out, if I was Kirk I would’ve robbed him too😂
I'm a Viking fan but still hope Kirk has a good game, but for Darnald, perhaps a bit better.
13 straight quarters... zero passing TD's. Yeah, I'm keeping count.
I think vikings defense already knows what to do.. please have a plan to put Penix in. We don't want kirk getting further injured..
I can’t wait for us to potentially end this mans career. After the amount of money he asked for after he was supposed to be the missing piece to win us a Super Bowl.
My goodness! As a Kirk hater, you take the cake. You should be ashamed of yourself. News flash.....Raheem Morris is not gonna bench Kirk...smh. The Falcons are first in the NFC South and have the tie-breaker over the Buccaneers BECAUSE of Kirk. He’s the best chance for the Falcons to win the division, not a rookie quarterback with a significant injury history.
Try to follow.....”….. In order for a quarterback to be the "missing piece", the status quo has to be kept the same. Kirk out-performed Keenum but everything else got worse in 2018:
---the run game dropped from 7th to 30th
---pass protection dropped from 17th to 27th
---the defense regressed
--Add to that, coaching makes a difference, too. Zimmer’s outdating and predictable coaching style made a huge difference in the wins and losses. There were a lot of games where Kirk got the team in a position to win, and Zimmer’s play calling lost the game.
Your comment illustrates a fundamental misunderstanding about team sports. This isn’t golf or tennis. Perhaps if Kirk also played RB, WR, TE, o-line, linebacker, defensive end, corner, safety, and kicker, the team would have won more. Your remark is childish and patently absurd.
As a Vikings fan and Kirk fan this doesn’t seem like the Kirk I’m used to
If Kirk can get through this a be consistent not for 3 games then going back to throwing interceptions but fix your problem ASAP he can or could be great and put the hatters in there place if not You would need to be beached oh no I’m sorry you would need retire.. and take that coach with you,, oh yeah take that kicker with you,, between the three of you . The Falcons will never have a chance …
He doesn't sound confident Michael Penix time to shine
As a Cousins fan, I agree his energy was not good here.
@@bar8665 Kirk's been proving people wrong for years. He'll be ok. I expect we might even see angry Kirk this week which bodes well.
The Vikings’ defense would feast on Penix. A big part of Flores’ defense is confusing the opposing quarterback. Even second year quarterbacks like Stroud, Love and Purdy did not do well.
EVEN THE MINOSOTA VIKINGS PLAYER SAYS KIRK DONT KNOW HOW TOO GET THEM TOO THE PLAY OFFS WE ONLY HAVE THREE OR FOUR GAMES TOO WIN
I love kirk but this was always the issue. Consistency. Kirk can do everything you ask him to do, he can also do the exact opposite as well. Hopefully he gets back on track! He is a good QB no doubt but he needs to play well all 4 quarters.
I miss you kirky 😞😕💔
#SKOL
Why is Arthur Smith thriving in Pittsburgh and the Falcons are still struggling?
Like seriously what is wrong with our organization?
He sounds more like a preacher! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
