Vikings Discussion & Random Thoughts
It’s almost game time! Another early start/finish for the Vikings, let’s hope they have better luck overseas this week than they had last week. The depleted O-line will do their best to keep Carson Wentz alive, I hope KOC has an offensive plan that gets the ball out quickly. SKOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Vikings Game Day: Highlights and Insights
No idea if this is true…
Was wondering if it was discipline since he came in as soon as the Qtr ended.
Looks like it was discipline. Several theories are circulating on bookface, probably all fake.
Wouldn’t be surprised. Guy could be a super star if he could get his off field issues fixed.
‘if he could get his
off field issues fixedhead out of his ass’FIFY
Wentz 25-34, 236 yards 1 TD 0 Int. 102.1 QBR.
JJ (WR) 123 yards receiving so more than half of the total.
When in doubt, throw it to JJ.
Well that was interesting. O LIne actually played much better than I expected. They better shore up that run defense soon however. And can we stop making stupid penalties on ST please? Still, win is a win. Way to go Vikes.
True, but KOCs game plan seems to have been quick passes today, which he has refused to run in our other games.
Missed Van Ginkel and Cashman today.
Kind of ugly in the 1st have but much better in the 2nd, especially in the 4th Qtr great on that last drive.
I expected the offense to struggle, I’m more disappointed in the defense, they seemed to play uninspired. Also agree on the penalties, unacceptable.
A win is a win.
Run defense was unacceptable today. Good thing they got rid of Harrison Philipps, eh?
Coming back to the states a winning foosballs boys!
GREAT WIN
🔨🔨🔨🔨
I enjoy Foosball.
Beat a couple ‘semi-pro’ players.
At least they claimed that they were.
Gotta roll with Wentz even when JJ is healthy.
Wentz has surprised me.
I think he has earned it.
Gives us the best chance to win vs the Poopeaters.
Carson Wentz revenge game vs poopeaters. Yes, he has earned that.
Wentz against Philly will obviously be the big story running up to the game. Media will eat it up.
Well, I guess it’s time for lunch, but man… that a great win boys!!!!
Wow! Must confess, I didn’t think the Vikings could pull this one out.
You’re not alone Kathy… grin.
3-2, sounds way better than 2-3.
Yep
Stapanski played Zimmer ball at he end and deserved to lose.
This was a wounded team that gutted out a victory. Great stuff!!!
Amen to that.
YES!
WTF was that with the alleged TO at the end?
KOC trying to be clever.
We would have been grateful if they had scored on that play.
Negated an INT instead and gave the Browns one last chance. Not sure if I like KOC’s decision there. Could have backfired big time.
But it didn’t.
Gutty win.
Lots and lots to work on over the Bye.
Yes, but at least we have the bye to get a little healthier, and a little better.
Hopefully a Lot better at tackling and avoiding penalties.
Wentz played bravely today. Have to hand it to him. Came up big in the clutch.
Wow, Wentz is way bigger than Gabriel.
That’s game
Stop them again!!
Ball Game!!
Game over.
WTF are we doing? Timeout???
Interception as time expired?
Penalty?
7s 50 yards.
Do it D.
23 yards… OK 7 seconds left.
FG doesn’t help the Brownies,
Prevent Defense would actually be good here.
Can we hold on for 21 seconds?
Wentz was money today, dude is tough as nails.
That was pro QB play at the end.
Wentz’s best drive of the year. Really came up big. KOC called it great too.
That drive was a thing of beauty.
Adderall with the dagger!!!!
Vikings up by 4 with 25 seconds left
Addison! Wentz!
TD Addison, 25s left.
TOUCHDOWN!!!!! ADDISON!!!
KOC calling a good drive here. Wentz hitting.
Wentz firing the ball with authority now.
Big 3rd and 3 coming up.
3rd down
Another good decision and throw by Wentz.
Down the 23. 1:05 left.
13 punts. All-time record is 16
Nice catch JJ (WR).
Two in a row.
REALLY good play by Wentz there.
This will all come down to the O-line now.
Oh god we are screwed.
Maybe a least a FG to give the D a chance to run a Pick 6 in OT.
OK, keep matriculating the ball down the field boys.
Last chance Viking drive?
80 yards, 3:16 to go.
1 TO and the 2 minute warning.
YAY no flags! 4th down.
Defense got a couple nice tackles in a row, nice to see.
Now if they could just do more of it.
Punt coming up.
OK 3rd and 11… can we stop them?
Punting and now the defense needs a turnover… and maybe a score.
Sack.
Another drive bites the dust.
Sacked… but a flag…
