We need to get creative with the runs because it's basically become a throw away play now. There's no point in running with a 2 yard average. They need to get Jones in space with some screens or shallow crossing routes because this O Line is struggling to open lanes.
Sam is way better than some people give him credit for. Sam’s got a great coaching staff, a lot of really good players and a great defense that can give him the ball back. It’s all good. SKOL
Offense scored 23 (could have easily been 31) against a very good defense. Defense balled out and gave up only one (bad) TD. We had only a couple Penalties the entire game. That said, obviously there are things to work on and get fixed, but man we're 8-2 and are fairly healthy going into the last stretch of the season! What a time to be alive SKOL 4 LIFE BABY
It takes more than one season with a good team to fully develop even a highly talented QB, like Sam Darnold. There simply isn't enough time to develop familiarity with every receiver. Darnold has good rapport with Jefferson, decent synch with Addison, looks pretty good with Oliver. His comfort with the rest is spotty, and vice versa. I saw much less of Darnold lagging in the pocket today. Good, keep practicing that!
Exactly. Addison missed a lot of time early in the season, so I expected Sam to struggle with him for a while, but we can see that improving from week to week.
The NFC NORTH is by far the toughest freaking division in the NFL ant nobody weak they dominating every team outside this division every division game is gone count the Vikings gotta win this game Sunday let's bring it go Vikings
The reason why Jared Goff puts up 40+ plus a game is not because he is good, he has extremely good chemistry with his receivers obtained from years on the team. Darnold on the other hand has been switching teams for years and does not have much chemidtru
I doubt anyone had 8-2 on their Bingo card through 11 weeks. This team was supposed to be a fringe Wild Card team. Right now, they are the 5th seed, and if it wasn't for a really good Lions team, we would be talking about this team being primed to win the division. Still in a position to do so but I still think it's going to the Lions.
Pre-season I suggested that Sam might play as well as Kirk maybe better, and they could start 5-0, and go 14-3 and folks absolutely clowned me. So many folks thought Sam was trash, and their egos can't handle being so badly wrong, so they have to hope that Sam plays poorly so they can feel better about themselves. Some high profile analyst/talking heads have been on pumpkin watch for Sam all season - but they turned out to be the pumpkins.
Should of walked all over Tn..You got the best receiver set in the NFL throw the ball more 1st and second runs that still leave 6 yards short than an incomplete pass cmom kevin
Oh stop! "We didn't win by big enough". Do you seriously think top teams' fans are b@tching that they didn't win by enough? No! Packers didn't deserve to win that game by one but their fans recognize a win is a win. Yes, there are things they could have done better but FFS enough with the whining after wins.
A few things to keep in mind. This team has exceeded expectations from the first game until today. They are playing with a back up quarterback. Sam has been good but he isn't the second coming of Tom Brady. If you want to win games in this league it's important to win the time of possession. That keeps your defense fresh and keeps the other sides offense on the sidelines. This team is extremely well coached. I would defer to KOC and his staff on game management. No coach gets it right 100% of the time but the Vikings coaching staff has made the most of the talent available to them
You are right coach 8 and 2 means nothing the vikings on offense needs to improve starting Sunday in Chicago and the rest of the season and the defense we did get burned on the all out blitzes just my opinion in the playoffs will not work it might for awhile but not all the time
Every game is tough, im glad they won(as they shouldve)...but yeahh..playoffs are still a long haul..gotta keep getting better. They aint on the Lions level. Keep it rollin tho!
The complaint is that we haven't ran the ball enough the last 2 seasons. I love our pass game and receivers but running is essential when you have a turnover prone QB.
Nailor has disappointed and disappeared. People forget that he was the number two receiver early in the season with Addison out. He balled out then. Thought he’d make the receiving corps best in the league with Addison back. He has struggled and seemed to lack focus. Unfortunate because he’s got the talent but something is missing with him
We might be 8 and 2, BUT OUR OFFENSE STILL LOOKS LIKE SHIT!!! Don't tell me O'Connell is an "offensive genius", because I have yet to see it! Stop with the excuses already!!! 😮
There is of course another obvious possibility that explains why you can't see KOCs offensive genius - that you are somewhat lacking in that area. Maybe consider that of the 10 rookie HCs hired in 2022, 4 have already been fired, and KOC is the only one over .500, and that was without his QB1 for half a season, otherwise he would probably have started his career with 3 consecutive 10+ win seasons. I don't think any of those other HCs have had one 10 win season between them.
Tennessee is better than their record indicates, especially on defense. Just enjoy the win, we're 8-2 people 😂
Every team is better than their record especially at this point in the season. Cant sleep on nobody.
I love how they are focusing more on establishing the run.
Yes run the ball even if it gets you nowhere. Invest so much into pass catchers to hand the ball off for 2 yards.
KOC has never had a decent run game,he's more interested in passing
@@ByronRodriguez87if you don’t establish the run defenses will shut down your pass game, running is essential in todays game

Turns out that we had 2 pre-snap penalties whilst Tennessee had 12. It’s the little mistakes that can decide the game. SKOL
Good win. Still seems we are struggling offensively. Would like to see another TD or 2.

Vikings should have won by 3 TD’s.
4 FG's vs Jags while Detroit racked up 52pts & damn near 600yds....😒

I like that our fan base sees an 8-2 team with Sam Darnold and is crying about not scoring 40 a game. Jesus.
Can never please the Vikings fan base. Even if we were 10-0 people would bitch about this WIN. Its WILD

Skol life
We ain't going no where with the undersized and under strength oline and the corners we have. Mensa needs to act his act together.
I've never seen a playcaller so obsessed with running the ball. Throw the ball earlier downs, you have the best receiveing corps in football.
Theirs a reason why the got Aaron jones and cam back 😐 like bro sybau
The complaint is that we haven't ran the ball enough the last 2 seasons. I love our pass game and receivers but running is essential when you have a turnover prone QB.
Ok coach Byron
Absolute braindead take
@@bignoob9902 The only difference between last year and this year is the defense. The offense is mediocre
Maybe throw the ball instead of handing the ball off for 1 yard every first and second down.
Factsssss I’ve been saying he’s not a good play caller he’s just too inconsistent and dumb
Yeah no s**t! I'm tired of seeing that!

@@douglastovey2685I hope so👍
Because they took care of business like we did can't control what Detroit does

If we're the type of team that thinks that win is worth celebrating, we'll simply never be successful
That didn’t seem aggressive
Sawft playcalls, should have been up 30 if not for nailor tf drop and his conservative calls like usual.
You need to get your OC call plays. You don't know how to end the game!!!
