Media Selection –
Awww, Loins lose and fall to 2-2.
Vikings have a decent lead in the North although it is admittedly early in the season.
Defense good.
Kicker good.
Hockenson good.
Offense bad.
Penalties gross, too many. Way too many.
Offensive line a triage unit.
Jones ran well, especially late. His drops in the screen and underneath game have been brutal.
Chop Robinson doing the SKOL chant after sacking Murray pissed me off. I don’t know why. But I was annoyed.
Good hustle out of Banks and Fat Fruit. Redmond too. Pace turning out to be a pretty solid special team player. Good day in coverage – Malik overwhelmed with all the chaos.
Van Gink got away with a headshot on Malik on Turner’s FF. Dallas was playing bully ball a few times today and putting the OT in Malik’s lap. Just touching the surface of what this kid can do.
Still don’t understand Murray’s hesitation to run – wondering if it’s coaching, if he’s being told to stay put and run as a last resort. Feels that way to me. I could be wrong.
Will was 5 for 5. And his kickoff that panicked the returner and pinned Miami was huge.
Need Thorson back. Right now our game is elite defense and field position. Heckler was bad today.
Mostly, I feel like our special teams have been pretty good. Will pisses ice cubes. Rook punter looks to be pretty good. Myles a gem returner. Several opportunities for blocked kicks. It’s our PR/KR coverage – especially late, that makes me nervous.
*aints next week. Should have a healthy Jets back. Hoping it’s a boost to the offense. I think we’ve gone 40 + possessions with only one offensive touchdown as of late. Too many weapons to be this stagnant. Desperately need the offense to start putting up points.
4-0. Wasn’t sexy, but it had teeth.
SKOL
Riechard is elite
Penalties on the offensive line were just stupid, even before the left side went out they sucked and the potato got mashed
Getting JJ back opens up a lot on offense, hopefully he’s back next week
defense got a little bit lucky but were generally smothering as usual
it hasn’t been pretty but like Parcells said, you are what your record says you are
Tonight I am a Carolina Fan,
They just went up 7-0 on the Loins.
Detroits defense is awful
only 2 other teams are undefeated.
How did that get into italics? Stupid tablet
Winning is winning
Winning Ugly is still winning!!
Offensive penalties were killer, couldn’t get out of their own way, rich karlis would be proud though
I like Aaron Jones a lot, but what is wrong with him, multiple drops, fumbling, missed blitz pickups, he ran pretty well but was not good otherwise
I will take the almost 100 yards over a few other errors.
If you only count the bad/negative plays you can make anyone look bad if you want to.
Yeah, like take out the long runs and Adrian Peterson sucked
I remember those conversations
I think it was raaarules that said that, I’m not completely sure, but Stu never let it go
Raiders give KC a game.
Almost done, 10 sec left. 30-27.
New England beat the Bills?
I didn’t see that one coming.
Seems a bit lame, but it was a victory.
This offense is terrible, even when they make a decent play they screw it up, multiple holding calls, multiple false starts, sacks, tackles for loss, drops (not by hock though), just trash, Murray was better in the second half but he still sucks
Amen, Brother.
But there were some glimpses. I thought play calling was improved. More quick stuff, outside runs, a qb rollout or two. Lotta penalties, but we did protect the ball. Special teams continued to play well (punter excluded). The game was not as close as the score
Yeah hekker sucks, need the other guy back, price is a legit returner. It seemed like either the play calling or Murray looked to hock regularly, he was good. So many offensive line penalties, just ridiculous, big play, next snap penalty.
The officiating team that we had throws a lot of flags. I think they said they throw the 3rd most flags. Not that we didn’t make it easy for them.
I laughed when Wilson knocked over the head referee and he got all pissed off, wasn’t even Wilson’s fault
The dude was hot.
15-10, less than impressive win.
4-0 is an impressive start though.
Very true
They find ways to win. Not a Vikings thing, historically speaking, but I could get used to it.
I’m going to try to think of it this way.
Would you have felt better if it was 22-10?
Wow, that was another ugly win.
This has to be the worst 4-0 team in the history of forever
They win, but the offense looks awful doing it. Still, a W is a W…
#nojinx
Do you think this team is better or worse than the 6-0 Vikings of 2017?
Hock should have scored, given the O a boost.
We win either way, but give the O something to build off of
How about that move by Hock?
I like it. Smart move to not risk a fumble.
I dont think he was worried about the fumble. If he scored there, we would have had to kick off with a bit more than 2:00 to play. A KO return, and then we go 3 and out and Miami would get the ball with good field position. Taking tbe knee ended the game
That too.
1st down wins the game.
They run it, kick a FG
Glad I was wrong.
They didn’t do that the first 3 weeks
Let’s see if we can put the ball in the end zone for once. Hock having a monster game, I like it.
Murray not so sucky this drive.
#nojinx
And again, nice throw and catch for decent gain, immediate offensive line penalty
Nice throw and catch for a decent gain, immediate penalty on the offensive line
Twice in a row is twice as nice???
Here comes conservative and prevent game plan.
You mean that 27 yarder to Addison just now???
Or that 22 yarder to Hock???
They won’t go for a td.
They will run the clock and kick a FG.
Could be.
1st and goal at the 5 now.
I think they try for the TD.
3 and out.
Time to work another FG and work the clock down.
Redzone, time for some incompletions and a FG.
Yep, 15-10 now.
Or completions and fumbles
I thought Murray could run and scramble…..
So did I…..
I thought he was supposed to be an accurate passer and really good at throwing deep balls?
He might be if he had a clue about where to throw the ball.
Seems like maybe studying the playbook might have paid off if he tried it.
If only there would have been done sorry of hunt before signing him that he couldn’t/ wouldn’t study the play book…
What is a sorry hunt and how would that have helped?
23 bad guys, 12-10 now.
Den-SF is still at 3-3 so I suppose it could be worse.
23 yard punt after the 20 yarder earlier?
Hekker got old fast or he just made that he is currently a temp/replacement??
Oh Yahoo just upgraded to a 31 yard punt, nothing to see here I guess.
The Dolphins had 0 sacks before this game
Yep
Our O line sucks, and our QB is worse
Good grief.
I officially hate Kyler Murray
It’s not a video game.
Real life action is hard for Murray
Rich Karliss kicked 7 field goals in a game. Maybe we are going for a record.
Will the Thrill 12, Dolphins 3
More FG coming up.
Yes, Will the Thrill from 41.
Lead back to 9, 12-3
Why the F*** does Murray just stand back there? Use your effing legs dude.
He’s our little fainting goat!!
Kind of fun watching the Game Day Channel.
People are still allowed to score TDs it seems.
Why aren’t we wiping the floor with this team?
because the offense sucks…
I was honestly thinking: we should beat the Dophins even with bad QB play. #no jinx.
As long as we do not run a
Yikes. I didn’t think about that.
What happened to Darrisaw and Jackson? I’ve only got the RedZone channel coverage.
Just heard that they are down with injuries.
Don’t know if it is long term or not.
Both out.
Darrisaw Neck
Jackson Knee
CD back in the game now.
Tai Felton sighting
roughing the punter, damn Kyler Murray
At least KOC is ok at challenges….
Fire him as head coach.
Hire him as quality control something.
Sucks at coaching offense
And down goes Darrisaw
We’ve lost the left side of the O line this game
Fumble, we got ball.
I suppose the refs will call it a touchback?
Get ready for the fall ya’ll.
This is not sustainable.
On track to set the new NFL record for winning hames without scoring TDs
Hams?
Can we get turkey at Thanksgiving?
Shoot. Dark in here…..
Looks like Will the Thrill will get another game ball this week for being our entire offense.
Hock sighting?
Wasn’t sure he was still on the team.
Jesus. Put Wentz in please. This is embarrassing.
this team is shit
I hope JJ takes the Gnats to the playoffs and KOC gets shitcanned
Our offense sucks
To put it mildly.
