1000% not a fact…. Sadly just your very biased opinion!!
Great teams have great players (plural). Like JG has said, this team was 8-9 good & that’s it. They were significantly better this year than last year & next year they will be significantly better than this year. The OL needs more development & the DL needs more talent period. The WR & RB rooms both lacked homerun speed & Murray cannot be the only offensive player with the potential to have 60 yard gains. MHJ will develop & be more of a deep threat, but they need more! And Benson needs to break some long ones too, because Conner certainly cannot. Bottom line, in today’s NFL, a QB is only as great as the team around him.

said this elsewhere but there's also an element of luck involved. The Vikings were 8-1 in games decided by less than a TD, I think we were 3-5. Now some will blame Kyler for that and he certainly has a part in it but the Vikings didn't go 8-1 because Sam Darnold is amazing, there's an element of luck involved.

if Mahomes was the QB, or vintage Brady I'd say yeah that's them for the 8-1 stat, but not for Darnold.

I will never let go, the fact that the defensive encroachment that was called a false start, changed the outcome of the Arizona-Minnesota game

Put on that one you do have to give Darnold credit for driving down the field for a touchdown

Cardinals and Michael are positioned to host another Super Bowl with the way they responded to the NFL, the Rams and Vikings over the last week. :cards::newcards:
I already believed we are in the regular rotation with Miami, New Orleans and LA. Now, there is no doubt we can expect one or two Super Bowls per decade.
