Fire everybody!
Do you remember the Vikings trade with the cowboys for a running back. The cowboys won super bowls after that trade. The Vikings didn’t.
Next time kicked the 72 yd FG
If you are willing to go all in on a Sam Darnold led team for Dexter Lawrence by trading two 1st round picks and a 3rd, why not just trade Mccarthy to the Giants and keep your draft picks. I say no to both.
Go get stafford and fix that interior o line asap
You say Detroit is best team, but the teams Stat lines were exactly the same yesterday. So you mean these are the two best teams.
You guys want to have a SB before you die. With KOC we will not go deep into playoffs if he always makes the same play calling mistakes. So please stop discrediting fans who are harsh with our HC, because they are right. They feel the same as me.
Or simply stop dreaming about a SB…. and enjoy a one and done season.
No way would I trade 2 number ones. Not until I see JJ McCarthy play for more than 6 minutes in preseason. Everybody acts like the kid is the second coming of Fran Tarkenton or something, & we've barely seen him play. We also don't know if getting injured is gonna be a career-long problem for him. There are way too many uncertainties to start thinking about giving away the🎉 next 2 years worth of our future. If you work a deal like that, & McCarthy busts, or gets hurt again, you've got no draft picks to use to even BEGIN to draft another first-round talent at AB. So for me, that's too high a price to pay betting on a completely unproven JJ McCarthy.
Stephon Gilmore pick up is overrated! KOC is not coming back on your show guys so stop pandering. Play calling is Terrible and has been ever since preseason, I personally would rather have Wes Phillips calling plays! Judd just makes excuses after excuses. Oh yeah and Sam I am can go down the road! Excuses excuses excuses are like A holes everybody got one. O Connell is no Dr Frankenstein he can only do so much relinquish play calling NOW!
Many of you fans are morons. My god
This season would be so much easier if the Vikings were 2-4 or even 3-3.
Mack’s hot take is stupid , how is our wins all on KOC… I can point a lot of times how he blow games or almost blew it over the years .. this season defense won us games.. defense win championships
Dex is 1000% right, if they don't bounce back it's almost over for a deep PO run.
Brees was cast aside by the SAN DIEGO Chargers. Same team/owner, but mos def NOT LA.
Come on MN guys!
We Californians know the difference between MN and WI!!
There is no question what this team needs now and into next year. My feeling is Sam is not up to the biggest moments this move would bring you to. I like Sam and appreciate what he’s doing this year but like Kirk not doing it in the high leverage situations
Sam has not performed well in the last 2.5 games.
I don't like how Sam Donald is just holding the ball way too long and the way KOC play calling is really concerning
This starting to sound like Lions daily… The Lions are good but you guys have pretty much have crowned them.
This time last year we were 3-4 and gearing up for the MNF game against San Fran. Im fine with 5-1 rn
The coach needs to give up calling place. Just be the coach. Humble yourself. Get your pride out of the way we have a good team. Don't piss us away because you think you're some kind of play caller. You're a good coach. Leave it at that please
Yes Sexy Dexy
KOC can't get it done
Phillips, Lawrence, Ginkster, and Greenard. SHEESH.
Mackay will always find a statistic to prove how great KOC is….. no doubt.
Ingram getting in the way of Darnold has happened several times this year. He literally tackled Bosa into Sam in the SF game after getting beat. The people sticking up for him and saying he’s not that bad are baffling to me. He’s not even close to passing any sort of eye test. When he gets beat it’s always epic and the incidents stick out like a sore thumb because they cost the team significantly.
It’s a must win. Lions and Packers won’t lose another game at this point this season. The NFC north is too stacked and you can’t afford to lose a single game as sadly/harsh as that sounds.
Need to draft better, like the Lions. Wouldn’t it be nice to develop some oline or dline? Where is Turner?
I will not be okay watching the Lions hoist the Lombardi trophy. I've seen the packers do it twice, I don't need another team to "big brother" us forever.
While I love the idea of Lawrence at NT, who would start at CB next season? We've got Blackmon and Evans under contract, and that's about it. We've got free agency money to spend plugging holes and still have our 1st rounder to build a young team. I would try to sign Corners like Charvarius Ward, DJ Reed, Paulson Adebo or Asante Samuel Jr.. Then you use your first on a loaded DT class, where there are plenty of big ol' Nose Tackles or penetrating 3 Techs. I do NOT want to leverage the future the team has built by throwing all of our draft capital at one guy. Maybe ONE 1st and a future 2nd, but not TWO 1st rounders. I know that probably won't get you Lawrence, but that's the most I would give up for him.
"Desperation is a stinky colgne." The Vikings have been such ever since the Hershell Walker trade.
I agree – we must win on Thursday.
That is a lot for the trade, but I could get on board. To support what you've said or are thinking. He fills one of your biggest needs and we were probably going to to spend next years 1st on a DT anyway. Dexter is a guaranteed excellent player. He is young and will be here for years. If I understand the cap correctly, he'll cost less than $20M for the Vikes the next 3+ years. 2 1sts and a 3rd is a ton to pay but boy he would make this team better. In addition, we can move Philips back to a more natural position that you guys have been saying he's better at
In August we were all hoping the Vikings could finish around .500 looking at next year to begin the Super Bowl run. Now all of a sudden because of Sam Darnold and an improved defense we are expecting a Super Bowl this year. The Vikings are much better than they were expected to be but not Super Bowl ready. Give them another year or two and don’t
trade away the farm for one player to try and put a patch on this team to try and win this year.
Declan’s transformation is the reason I have not shaved the beard since getting out of the army 😂
Sam Darnold is not the guy. Never has been before nor will he ever be. KOC has worked wonders with his inabilities. KOC does not miss wide open receivers or throws bad passes. Darnold does that. Be happy being 5-1. This is NOT a SB caliber team with him as our starter.
Add insult to injury, the Lynx choked. The State of Minnesota sure does have a tough time bringing home a Championship trophy lol.
If many fans had their way, this team would be changing GMs and coaches once every two months. A sure path to success.
Can the sports dad please ask O’Connell why in the world he doesn’t call more short short passes
Sam had Jefferson open on a deep middle to right seam late in the game
