1. Always better the second go-round! 😉

   Bad QB day for our guy…

   Not unlike the kittie's day…

   Goff and FIVE interceptions…

   I feel okay where we're at…

   Yes improving is important, but we are 7-2…

   SKOL!

   👍😎👍

2. What’s crazy to me is Akers tearing his Achilles what, 3 times now? And he still looks good. Lol

3. Looks like the Bears hype has finally died. I always thought they were a 6-7 win team. The first half of the season are the soft part of the schedule and its going to be hard for them to beat anyone going forward.

4. I wonder who told who, "Dude, just throw it to me, even if you dont put it on me, you know I will catch it. Trust me. Even if I'm bracketed. You trust me to win all contested catches, right?" How can Sam not do this to Jets? Darnold is not al fault here!!! Jets is at fault for telling Sam that before the game because as Jets said, "I am tired of the 75-85 yard games, I want 150+."

5. Sam can now say, "Ok, I put it on you. Look what happened." Jets has to back down on this – no more Diggs/Divas on our team.

6. KOC – WTF, Mullins, Cousins, Dobbs, Hall, now Darnold – do you see anything in common? The QB whisperer is speaking tongues. I was able to call the plays before the snap. Too predictable. No TD's against a very weak defense – inexcusable! Doing a trick play when you are behind the sticks and playing like garbage – ugh! All the weapons on offensive – ELITE OFFENSE – the whole game was wasted once again. D# holding strong! Bo Nix, Drake Maye, and Jayden Daniels all looking prime. Maye playing at NE speaks volumes. All these teams offensive doesn't even compare to the weapons Vikes have! So right about ARON anyone else having PTSD – Mattison? Stop run, run, pass PLEASE!

7. So a win is their fault. Got it.

8. People. The Vikes dominated in Time of Possession, yards, first downs, defense, special teams, they played a brilliant game in the “soft” part of the schedule. They just lost the turnover battle. That happens, it was unfortunate, but they WON! Goff just through 5 INTS last night do you think the lions want his head or the coaches head for that? Lay off, Darnold!

9. lets bring back dalvin cook

10. “Ass-String” LOL LOL

11. “An 85/15 split, more like a ground beef split” 😂😂😂

12. Darnold just getting worse and worse

13. Someone who continues to get better and better, is Josh Oliver.

14. Well one of the picks was on jefferson and one was one the refs and the other was on darnold ! So yea!

15. Over 400 yards offense, dominating every stat category except INTs is such a Vikings stat line lol. The defense and special teams carried us, but it's not like the offense didn't hold on to the ball almost 3:1 as well, even if they were only scoring on special teams. Weird one for sure, but the W still counts.

16. Take a lesson from the Rams-Titans Super Bowl. The Titans doubled Isaac Bruce all game. Warner waited and waited until they didn't. The one time they didn't he took advantage and I think it turned into the decisive score. It pays to pick your moments.

17. Slinging sam huh. He only slinging ints

18. I think we should have ran the ball more in the red zone

19. A top tier team can have a bad game now and then but when you start looking bad two or three games in a row , you have a problem ……..tell the truth.

20. KOC is the coach. The buck stops there. He needs to manage Darnold as you say.

21. We absolutely demolished the Texans, and the kitties were lucky to escape in their dub. Still wanted to get neck and neck with the Lions obviously, but you know, it was funny how shit they looked.

22. darnold needs to watch (and KOC) chiefs and reid and see that kelce is used often in short passes, not long bombs/interceptions.

23. My take is that we moved the ball incredibly well, Darnold was actually, hilariously knifing through the Jags defense for the most part, he had no issues getting into scoring position. We legitimately SHOULD have won like 35-7, but Darnold made 3 or 4 really sloppy plays and the Jags defense took advantage of all of them. So, yeah, the silver lining is that our offensive plays were working, we just f***ed everything up at the worst possible moments. Thank god we have probably the best defense in the NFL. If we didn't, we would have lost to Mac Jones, you know Donatell would have just given up like 350 yards to him somehow.

24. KOC is still learning how to scheme open receivers. He’s quite good but I think he probably still has tendencies that he needs to deal with.

25. Koc is not to blame.. we had over 40 mins of possession and controlled the whole game the only person who didn’t get the memo was Darnold.

26. Makes no sense Darnold played good besides the 3 picks on the redzobe

27. Qb needs to listen to koc!! Wear Hockenson out until they double him! Then you can dart Jets!

28. Bright spot: we moved the sticks all game. Frustrating no tds. But could have had three more fgs w/o ints.

29. I’ve been saying it for weeks- they have to clean this up so both teams are firing on all cylinders again like the beginning of the season because Atlanta and Arizona aren’t going to be cakewalks. Arizona has blown out a lot of teams this year and they’re being severely underestimated right now. I say this as a Vikings fan that’s native to Minnesota and lives in AZ. We have to get back to how we operated the first four games of the season or there is no such thing as an easy schedule. We barely won against two bad teams the last week. We’re too talented to be screwing up this much. Vikings fans, I’m serious, watch tape of the Cardinals and tell me if you think we will beat them if we keep playing like this. The national media will never let us hear the end of it if we get blown out by Kirk or Kyler.

30. I know the throws were bad, but holy crap, JJ and Addison need to show some damn effort in either breaking it up, tackling and/or trying to force a fumble.

    The INT that was called back: Nailor HAULED ASS and forced a fumble that Vikings recovered.

    If the QB makes a bad throw, the play AIN’T OVER.

    I love the effort that Nailor plays with. Remember, JJ probably doesn’t score on that 97 yd vs 49ers if Nailor doesn’t run down to make that last block.

    FEED #83

31. We are now 1 in 4 on Trick Plays Even Worse KOC has called 4 Trick Plays in other teams Territory Between there 8 to 30 yard line. No More KOC

32. He was using all his receivers but JJ had to say something about his yards. 😂😂

33. He’s a top 2 tight end… and he ain’t 2 😂😂

    You’re quickly becoming my favorite Vikings pod… keep up the great content

34. i swear our first 4-5 weeks we were moving the ball and jj was getting very few touches. then we had that week at green bay when JJ got that td despite being completely covered up. it almost felt to me like a light was switched in darnolds head that he can just throw the ball to jefferson no matter what and he can just make those catches. i am just an idiot on the internet but that has been my observation
