Minnesota Vikings vs. Kansas City Chiefs: 08 Oct 2023

Vikings Chiefs

It’s game day! The Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs come to Minneapolis to take on the Minnesota Vikings today, kickoff is at 3:25.

Here is a rundown on how you can take in today’s game, and where to go to find it, courtesy of Vikings.com. Also, the most recent injury report.

I’m going into this game with little to no expectations, which will help me to enjoy the game and not get too worked up over what happens. Can the Vikings win this game? Sure! Anything can happen, especially with this team. They can lose to a team that they should beat, and they can also beat teams that no one expects them to beat. We’ll see what happens shortly!

F’n announcers……Mahomes locks eyes on Kelce even before the snap, never looked away…..”See how Mahomes moved the safety away from Kelce……”

I didn’t watch the game, spent the day with family since my FIL is deploying Friday and we won’t see him for quite a while, I see I didn’t miss much.

Is it hard to throw a Hail Mary ?????
I guess if you are statue and need 5 seconds to set it up.

Only if you want to wait until your receivers have time to get to where the ball will come down.

I thought a Hail Mary was just throwing the ball up hoping for a tip. You shouldn’t need much to set it up and it was only 38 yards.

He didn’t lay any blame, just stated a fact.

I knew he’d get sacked before the ball was snapped because Vikings.

‘Took a sack’ could be understood as implying blame.
‘Got sacked’ not so much.

Fumbles and miscues.
KC got their flag on Harry for 30ish yards on 4th down.
Vikings got their flag then the refs picked it up.
Hock dropped a few.
Mattison dropped a screen that would have scored.

Actually thought KOC and Flores did decent with play calls, we just kept doing dumb shit.

I like to think KOC is a decent coach, but this looks like a poorly coached team.

Miscues and mental mistakes are killing them.
That’s coaching? Right?

Maybe we will be like the Lions last year and make a second half of the season run.

Hock has to make those catches he missed today. Has to.

Cant be running guys in late on 4th down – Hock again. That penalty was a backbreaker.

So was Mattison’s drop – he scores easily there.

Free blitzer gets home way too much against this offense.

Im exhausted. I’ll be watching SNF thru my eyelids.

Why don’t we sign a blocker who is better than our current guards……..

No, one of many. It’s like they spin a wheel on the sidelines to see who fucks up

Tic tic tic tic tic tic tic…….”WR screen left – blockers miss their assignments for a 2- yard loss”

Tic tic tic tic tic tic tic…..
“Kirk checks down for 3 yards while WR streaks to the wide open corner of the end zone”

Tic tic tic tic tic tic tic t…..”KOC throws challenge flag when the entire Viking nation can see it won’t get overturned “

First challenge was not a catch.

Second challenge was stupid.

Could have called illegal hands to the face. Hamm just about got his head snapped off. Could have called illegal contact. The defender had a hold of the Jersey with both hAnds.

If the DB hadn’t been in the way he may have gotten there to catch it.

Why does every other team in the NFL handle this situations better than the Vikings. 0 times out…delay of game on a 4th down….like..the fuck, its exhausting watching this

Hock keeps having balls bounce of his hands.
They aren’t perfect throws.
But for a guy that got PAID and wanted to reset the TE market, he needs to make a couple of them.

GG, was cute while it was close. When you have opportunities against legit champs, you have to capitalize, if you dont, you’re done. Some day the Vikes will be able to do this offensively, some day.
