  4. Alright, I love in MN. Let’s pull the brakes. MN has a seven game win streak against not one team over .500. They are beating who they should. They are a good team, but they still have much to prove.

  5. Probably the luckiest team in NFL. Am I the only one to notice most of vikings wins came against teams with recent injured star players. Jacksonville, Tennessee, Houston And now look at Gino in Seattle, right after just in time for Detroits Montgomery injury. And they barely beat those teams, kinda wierd season, I'd say.

  12. O'CONNELL IS YOUNG FOR A HEAD COACH BECAUSE I CAN TELL ĤE MAKES HIS PLAYERS LOVE HIM AND PLAY HARD FOR HIM BECAUSE HE IS FULL OF FIRE GO VIKINGS 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🙏

  15. As a vikings fan i dont feel comfortable putting my eggs right back in the quarterback position aging the key pieces that made this team so good were the additions in free agency and with the cap space they will have i feel comfortable with kwesi kevin and maye brian if hes back to keep building with free agents remeber now its a team game.

  19. any reasonable person realized last year was a shitty year for the vikes. whoever thought the vikings would not return to the form of 2022 is an idiot. and the vikings are underperforming what many vikings fans thought. because they are not the division leaders. vikings record 2022 and 2024 is quite impressive. 1 year might be a fluke but 2 out of 3 years is not a fluke.

  21. No, MN teams in all sports have a propensity to choke. It’s the curse that was put on the state when the North Stars moved because the state wouldn’t give them $15M to renovate their arena. And since then we’ve tax funded just about every stadium and can’t win sh*t

  24. I’m loving the Sam Darnold finally to get some respect but let’s not use his past against him also! The Jets and Panthers don’t know how to build around a quarterback or develop quarterbacks at all

  25. I'm sorry but that soundbite from Dan Campbell was chillin. Like "we got punched in the mouth it's exactly what we needed".. I said it before and I'll say it again Eagles are the only team that can beat them in the NFC. If they some how miraculously win the NFC Championship. There's no AFC beating them. That beating from the Bills will not happen again. And if by some miracle the Lions Meet the Chiefs in the Big Game. Dan The Man will send them home packing

  27. Sam Darnold gets better as the game goes on. He gets better after he's been hit a few times. He is willing to throw the ball into very tight windows down the field. We haven't had a QB like this in a long, long time.
