Willis,it makes more sense to run the ball against Flores defense
DC Flores is the MVP!!
Darnold is a fairly accurate QB w/ decent arm strength & average processing. Most of his mistakes come courtesy of him mistiming his window, bc he lacks anticipation, & trying to fire in a pass he doesn’t possess the arm talent to complete. He’s also more of a touch passer due to that lack of elite arm strength. So long as he stays within game flow, he’s fine; the moment he tries to be something more than a game manager, he’s cooked. Let’s pray he picks the former & remains highly coachable 🙏🏾
He said make no mistake, this was not close in the locker room speech
Diggs did come over to the fans near section 116 before the game started and showed love to the fans. We cheered back to him. He showed love
Great game, WEAK performance on the “flag” “waving” by Mackey. Judd puts his labrums on the line every week and we can’t even get a single rotation of the viktory Monday sweatshirt from Phil. Cmon man. SKOL
Row that boat Gophers😂 Go Hawks!
In a win with SO MANY props to give out, I just wanted to throw it out there that K Will Richard hit the 2ND Longest FG in Vikings history, & as high as that ball hit the post, that kick would'a had the legs for 63-64 yards. That's a nice weapon to have in your back pocket.
I hope you read this so someone else doesn’t take credit for this. But here’s another nickname, Sam "The Ghostbuster" Darnold
Is no one worried about the Darnold MRI???
This is the most complete Vikings team I've ever seen.
KOC would be better off negotiating to pay Flores than demand some crazy salary increase. He's the biggest key to keeping the ice piercing purple train flying.
The Darnold hate by you clowns is unbelievable. BECAUSE YOU GOT IT WRONG.
Judd literally said (for no reason) that McCarthy is the QB of this team in 2025.
Because he’s a hater.
Skol Vikes did it again!!! What do you think about that Detroit pass / hand off to touchdown? I think we should incorporate it in our offense?
There's a guy on NFL Network (Michael F. Florio) who predicted that Stroud and the Texans would put 40+ points on the Vikings. Wondering if that guy still has a job today.
When it deck shaved his upper lip!
Do whatever it takes to get Flores to stay for next season need him for next years draft, with the talent on defence. If he stays for next season we’re a contender.
Its starting to look like Kwesi is going to have a difficult decision by end of the year at the QB Position..
We are playing great but Garrett Bradbury and Ed Ingram are a bad bad problem !!!! Lets hope we can get them both on the bench !!! Bradbury killed 3 drives and ingram killed 1 or 2 in this game
I knew Mackey would find a way to again make this about Kirk and his contract but it’s a flawed take…they are still paying Kirk’s contract this year…this defense was on its way to what you see here when Kirk hurt his Achilles last year when he was an mvp candidate. They were a d coordinator away from a deep run in 2022. Also- I’ll say it again you guys clowned on Quesi and the competitive rebuild approach before worshipping it now. You wanted then to rip this down like the bears and Ryan poles.
Darnold is further proof that Kirk was good enough to win big with. They might have another really tough decision to make at qb next off season…McCarthy is not the lock you make him out to be.
Defence needs a nickname like the old "purple people eaters"; Maybe the "purple crush", or "purple haze".
They look like the 1998 Vikings
Next week is the test, outdoors at Green Bay who are well coached also,fun to watch.. this will be the best game so far this year
Tua isn't the only QB frustrated with Flores.
Had to sleep in my Jefferson jersey to celebrate. All my parlays lost but that’s ok cause we dominated lmfao
In my mind we got to see if we are down in 4th quarter see if we can still prevail.. we got to relax!! Enjoy the ride
If the Vikings win the next two, Dex will be sporting a fu manchu by the time the bye week is over.
Since Judd said that Darnold has sweet feet during this episode, "Sweet feet Sammy" is another good nickname lol. Also the guy at like 56:00 who said Darnold is the best QB we've had since teddy is smoking some good stuff. Say what you will about Kirk but he was 10x better than teddy
If the $35m WR didn't have butterfingers, we probably win 38-donut. 2 huge drops on 3rd down.
FFS can we put a limit on the flag waving? Every yahoo who comes on doesn't need the flagged waved for them. Wave the flag at the beginning of the show and END IT!!
you know what other famous QB threw 4 TD's in a clutch game?
Al Bundy, threw 4 TD's for polk HS in a championship game.
Sam Darnold >= Al Bundy.
Love the coaching staff love. A great coaching staff is the only way going cheap on players works.our depth roster looks solid.
The Vikings fans calling to fire KOC/KAM preseason sure are quite now 🤣🤣🤣
Listen to this show every week and if the season keeps going like this i expect to Hear a God Emporer QB of the Mn Vikings used.
Why use many qb nicknames when he already has the best available???
Uncle Sam is slingin freedom week in and week out 😂
Quinn is fat. But a good guy
The biggest play of the game was Darnold coming back into the game. SKOL
9:54 Declan "They've dominated two really good QBs in DARNOLD and Stroud"
Uhh….what? Is that how you pronounce Purdy, Mustache-man?
Props to the converted Kirk Stan for seeing the light and admitting you were wrong. There's 1000s more of you that need to do the same
We need some Texans vent line to hear what the reaction down south is!!!
