The Minnesota Vikings defeated the Tennessee Titans 23-13 on Sunday. There was some bad football going around. Here’s my nominees for the biggest Nincompoops.
Jalen Nailor - Why is Nailor a Nincompoop? He can’t catch.
Isaiah Prince - Why is Prince a Nincompoop? 3 times he was called for illegal formation. It cost the Titans 80 yards and a TD. It seemed every time the Titans were going to get back in it, Prince would line up in the backfield. I can’t go too hard on him, he’s a practice squadder. However, when your number is called, you need to be ready. This won’t help his cause to be on the active roster going foward.
NFL Refs - Why are the Refs Nincompoops? When are they not? This year has just been atrocious. The Vikings benefitted from a lot of questionable calls. None more than the “illegal” hit on Addison in the end zone. The player didn’t leave his feet, didn’t lead with the crown of the helmet and didn’t hit Addison in the head or neck area. However, it gave the Vikings a free 1st down and an easy Sam Darnold TD. That was a 4th down stop they changed to a TD. I don’t think the Titans win that game or make it that close either way, but still sucks for them that opportunity was taken away by some questionable (at best) calls.
Tennessee Titans - Why are the Titans Nincompoops? They have surrounded Will Levis with 0 talent on offense. The OL is the worst in the league. The WRs are no one outisde of Ridley. They picked up the Bengals WR3 and thought it would be good enough. They’re giving him and Brian Callahan nothing to work with. He’s a good coach that is surrounded by Nincompoops.
Chicago Bears Fans- Why are the Bears Fans Nincompoops? They thought the Bears were contenders this year. They thought Caleb Williams would lead the team with painted nails. They thought the celebrity QB was the way to go. The Bears stink. When the Bears were 4-4 I said they wouldn’t win another game this season. I am sticking by that prediction. Remember when they bragged about getting Poles over Kwesi?
