1. Top 5 offense last year (remember only had kirk for 8gms- so it wasn't just replacing kirk) Nailor healthy, brings the Wr up to 5 good(incl powell)add in Jones to soldify running gm
   Question can Darnold be solid✔️
   The defense was shallow but good, ran out of gas, CB were light, lose big piece Hunter, but got a lot of blue chips in return more versatile deeper defense for Flores….add in Gilmore to solidfy one side of corner
   Weigh the facts weigh potential less = success

2. NY, SF, Houston and GB…..I mean come on., whether you like them or not, they're balling.

3. And TJ Hockenson will bring in that lite receiving TE in a few games time

4. Your graphic at the beginning used the Vikings old logo that they don't use anymore

5. we let him walk and the packers have the best run game in the league , coming back to this in week 16 when he’s done for the year with injury

6. Agreed 5-0 against porous Jets is highly probable
   Than a bye…. and 2 weeks to rest & plan for the tough Lions,at home, Det coming off a bruising game vs Dal?…..ideal situation going into a very tough gm

7. Well done, guys. Appreciate your insight.

8. The Carolina Panthers failed Bryce Young.

9. Vikings have been coming, Kwesi (GM) was cooking all off season! Been watching Vikings football for 40 years this is the most complete team…

10. Who succeeds with the Jets though?

11. National media predicted last place and a 1st overall pick!!! Lol like RS said…unless you follow the team you only see the high level view…

12. I’m so hyped everybody’s finally seeing what USC fans saw and what a lot of people forgot about Sam. I always believed in Sam’s talent, but the infrastructure wasn’t there. Carolina is the most dysfunctionally-run organization in the NFL and nobody succeeds with the Jets.

    The Jets are a revolving door for quarterbacks. Jacksonville extended Trevor Lawrence, the Giants extended Daniel Jones, etc. Meanwhile, the Jets get a new quarterback every 2-3 years and blame those quarterbacks when the team fails. Look at Brett Favre, Joe Flacco, and Aaron Rodgers. All Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks who “failed” at the Jets.

    Then you take a 21/22-year-old kid straight out of college and start him right away and expect greatness and wonder why you go 3-13(14).

13. Do you think the Packers will have the same kicker after this game?

14. Sam Darnold was 20 YEARS OLD when he was drafted into the Nation Football League. His time is NOW! SKOL!

15. 😂

16. You failed to mention that the Vikings destroyed 3 Super Bowl/playoff teams. They just didn’t beat up on lesser teams like Seattle to become 4-0.

17. If the Vikings continue to win and end up winning the division. The Packers may have been instrumental and helping us do that.

18. Love Jones! Though it’s a business and it’s not a matter of if it’s a matter of when he’ll get hurt. He missed another 6 games last year.

19. Richard is 100% correct about scheme. Under Zimmer, the Vikings ran a 4-3 defense. Under KOC they run a 3-4. Under Donatell, they clearly didn't have the right personel. Flores came in and they let him have a say on players. Their defense looked really good at times last year. This off-season they got players that perfectly fit in the Flores scheme. A number of his former players are on board. I love Danielle Hunter, but he is a 4-3, hand in the dirt, edge rusher. Instead of paying him, they brought in 2 guys who are better all around 3-4 LBs in Van Ginkle and Greenard. They brought in Cashman at LB. On the DL Tillery and Bullard have been amazing, and Harrison Philips was already good. They brought in Jihad Ward as a puzzle piece, and Pat Jones has been wrecking havoc. Finally they bring in Gilmore and Griffin at CB. I was expecting a top 10 defense because I understood what they were doing. I didn't expect them to be THIS good. For me the biggest question was Darnold. I said if he can play, this is the year to find out. I said if he can play like Baker and Geno, the Vikings could win 9 or 10 games and be in the playoff picture. And I was laughed out of almost every room when I said this stuff…

20. what’s up, Richard?
    Between Minnesota and Chicago we the Vikings had the better USC quarterback

21. The muff punt seemed the turning point with, obviously, some key plays. BUT Packers had some issues too like the missed field goals giving MN a shorter field (ish). Any case, first game literally a tail of two halves and as a Vikings fan, I think Green Bay SHOULD have won that game. They did have some opportunities for sure.

22. U would think at 4-0 come Monday the Vikes would've been more celebrated and talked about by the media and talk shows more than these other teams. Now if they would've lost or Darnold looked bad, they the talk all day. Smh

23. Mad respect for you, Richard Sherman. Kevin O’Connell is the Quarterback Whisperer, and the team/coaches have mad respect for each other.
