I remember when Kodiak got banned after coming on after an exciting win and being a total negative downer.

I know there’s been talk about creed in the locker room, but there’s also been 2 weeks of the same song on a weekend thread here with 2 victories. Who’s to say which means more?

Good win, oline played solid against a legit front 7, defense was not flaccid, Greg Joseph though

My daughter, who doesn’t care at all about football, wore a Vikings shirt to a volley ball game tonight. I told her she has to wear it any time the Vikings play on Monday night football as she is now our lucky charm.

Boys we might have a defense again, Flores is him. He should be a #1 priority resigning. Kirks best game since the Bills game not quite 11 months ago. I caution users to beware of fools gold. Twas entertaining for sure. Good things from the defense and Addison, AND Akers, Mattison needs to ride the pine full time imo.

Nothing better than winning on MNF….. my favorite MNF win of all time was against Chicago in the early 90’s. Right before Christmas. Jack Del Rio had a pick 6, Sean Salisbury had the game of his life.

They’re a good team. Have been all year.

the TOs killed them in every loss.

23 October 2023 10:58 pm

Gonna disagree. TOs killed but when you have that many theres a reason. Just gonna respectfully disagree. This was a .500 level team last year and is this year as well and their PF and PA will reflect that. Ill gladly be down voted for seeing the larger picture after a fun win

TO’s directly contributed to every loss. They have a top OL. Hunter leads the league in sacks and TFL. They have 3 S in the Ttop 25 in the league. Hicks is a top 10 LB. Addison is 2nd in the league in Rec TD’s Kirk is 2nd in the league in yards and has the most TDs.

It’s a good team. you’re just being a debbie downer.

Defense looks good when you don’t go three and out over and over, and stick them with short fields after TOs

Issues were execution not play design or call, Kirk three way to high to Addison, and Mattison should have sat down in the zone, both player malfunctions not coaching issues

And where did that run game and pass protection come from? Risner? He was solid when healthy while he was with Broncos with Teddy, but then he tried to play hurt for about a month, and was not good, then went on IR.
