Anyone crying if they lose to the Rams hasn't been a Vikings fan for too long. I'll admit I'd be a little frustrated but MIN just craps the bed at the worst times so I think I'm more surprised when they DO win a big game. I think this may be the most snake bitten team, not just in the NFL, but all sports.
Go back to your own social media bubble… You sweet man, you. Hope to see y’all in 2 wks! I can say the same for DC. 2 HC’s that have completely opposite vibes but both damn likable.
I’d like to mention the respect between the two head coaches. Dan saying we’ll see you in a couple weeks let’s me know that he knows how strong this team can be and has a lot of respect for them 🫡
We can work together to gate keep the packers from winning this division as revenge for what they've done to the lions and vikings all these years. I hope both these franchises can win a SB.
@ I hope so too but with the Vikings, there has to be a sense a realism. And frankly, it may be in our destiny to never win a Superbowl. Would that be the worst thing in the world? Hardly.
I really appreciate KOC's assessment/reflection of the game at Detroit. I was worried he'd lean too much on execution. Execution was certainly a problem, but for a loss of that magnitude, there had to be problems all over, and he owned it.
I mean maybe the loss is a blessing. They were on a 9 game win streak. To win the superbowl the Vikings would’ve had to win 13 straight. That’s insanely difficult in the NFL. Revenge tour starts Monday night.
I love everything about this team and what KOC has brought to this organization. I've watched the Vikes since the 90s with my dad and the talent, energy, and potential of today's team is drastically different from any other point in time that I could remember. There were many seasons where we had a handful of great players here and there but this entire 2024-2025 team is outstanding. Minus all the missed kicks from Riechard (just kidding, he's still solid in my book lol). Having said that, we WILL get our chance when it is our time. Whether we bounce back as the 5th seed and take it all the way to the Championship or if it means next season with more development. It's coming, enjoy our ride and every bump in the road. SKOL!!!
@@dmartin7107 I think the 98 (Moss rookie season) and 2012 (Favre first year in purple and gold) were more exciting. And I think that the 2012 team was the most complete team I've ever watched them put on the field. AND all the Vikings did was crap the bed, like they always do, and not get to a SB with a SB team.
They did a screen to Addison, it was stopped for no gain. And the Lions were blitzing, it was the perfect look. Jefferson missed his block. We don't have great blocking receivers
@@leoprzybylowicz8602 1 score game until the 4th quarter. At some point if you can't score on defnse what good does it do to stop a team on defense. It's 2025 who cares who won that game.
That’s KOC not being able to go off script. There’s a reason why this team leads the league in big plays. That’s all KOC wants to do. If it doesn’t work just keep trying. Then lose by 3 scores. And say we need to get better in the press conferences
He owned it! Awesome! Darnold was hit not stop and protection is key to the game plan. Use those 3 TE's for both protection and crossers. I think KOC sees it the Sam way.
theres alot of us vikings fans here in the central valley (fresno,visalia,hanford) in ca i remember in 2021 i believe we took over SoFi vs the chargers
I’m a service member out here in San Diego, who happens to bleed purple! Missed the Thursday night game due military service obligations😢 how do I get my hands on some tickets for this wildcard rematch!?!?!? SKOL 🙆🏻♂️!!!!!!!!
I'll be at the game on Monday night rooting for my Vikings to even the score & beat up the Rams this time around. Last week's loss was actually a blessing because these players will be more focused & come out with a bit more anger to show the NFL world that we're much better than what we showed this last Sunday in Detroit. SKOL!
Thank you coach & PA. I was pretty dejected after Sunday night. But my confidence in this team is coming back around. Let's adjust & execute and beat the hell out of the Lambs. Skol!
I’m a little disappointed that PA didn’t ask what probably 80% of fans are wanting to know. Why was there no adjustments made for a quicker pass game when about halfway through the second quarter it was very obvious they weren’t going to allow us to beat them with long developing 15+ yard routes?
Because the receivers including JJ, weren’t getting open. They were held for the majority of the game. I doubt that happens again against the Rams tho.
Lions fan, KOC is one of my favorite coaches in the league. Smart, former player who understands what players go through, seems like a great leader. I have no hate for the Vikings and the fans have been respectful to me. We’re all on the same page: FTP.
Not a Vikings fan but Ohio State used their loss to beat Oregon in their playoffs after losing to Michigan. They never wanted to feel that again. Vikings will be a different team the 2nd time around.
I love this comment. It's crazy how many times a the intermediate/deep routes were called when you know their defense was sending 5/6/7 guys. Sometimes it's the basics that win.
Go look at the 2021 rams season and our season this year the similarities of teams and losses are scary!! They lost to the niners 31-10 and 27-24 in the regular season..we lost 31-9 and 31-29 to lions. We can do this

16:35 Tell me how lucky we are to have such an amazing coach? His awareness, politeness but also his battle face, battle time demeanor is second to none compared to any other professional sport coach in the United States!
Rams pipe in crowd noise. It's ear piercing. I was at the last game. I looked around and asked the Rams fan behind me, "who is yelling, you're not yelling, I don't see anyone yelling'. Ridiculous and borderline cheating.
abnormal is moving everyone to AZ but i hope many Fans will be in the stadium, feel bad about what is happening in California- prayers to everyone affected- maybe some players homes were destroyed. But SKOL- could be a big advantage and we will have a ton of fans. If Only I could be there!
I know many of us Vikings fans are still upset about SNF game. But in 2021, the 49ers swept the Rams in the regular season but the Rams won in the NFC Title Game. It's hard beating your divisional foe three times in one season. Also, in 2020 the Saints swept the Bucs but the Bucs won when they met in the Divisional Round. in 2007, the Cowboys swept the Giants but the lost to them in the Divisional Round. Then in 2004, the Packers swept us in the regular season but we got our revenge in the Wild Card round. So, there's hope that if we the Lions again, we can get our revenge.
@@subiseth 4 times? Are you saying somehow the Vikings and Lions will play each other in the Super Bowl even though you have already "beaten" the Vikings in the title game? Is this some alternate reality that some Lions' fans came up with or you're just not that bright?
@@subiseth Well yeah but it depends on the results of the Packers and Eagles game. If the Packers upset the Eagles then they'll face the Lions since they're the number 7 seed. But if the Vikings beat the Rams and Eagles beat the Packers, then the Vikings will face the Lions again for the 3rd time this season, not 4th.
@@subiseth Yes, 3 + 1 equals 4. But the Vikings and Lions played each other 2 times this season, so if they meet each other again, it will be 3 times. Are you a child or just isn't that bright? 🤨
I know Jetta’s is great but start looking for other options in the red zone.If Justin is in super tight coverage some one else is open.Don’t expect Sam to make a perfect throw every time.Run the ball 4 times inside the 5 yard if you have to.
Hey, we were supposed to be 6-11, we lost to a really good team, we missed four red zone opportunities, let’s just hope they are confident and they play their best football on Monday
Go on and win for all the fans supporting you and to prove all the doubters wrong go on and win for all the fans that were assaulted by lions fans in the crowd SKOL!!!
Lions could have played much better too. As much as I would like to see a 3rd matchup with Vikings coming back into the Den, I think the Rams are the scary team. Other than the Lions and Philly in the NFC
Cam Akers had the biggest play of the night and you stopped running the ball you saw it was too much for sam he was off and you needed to pound the rock..
Hoping to see improvements in Vikings Red Zone. A) Vs Man coverage, Receiver & TE Rubs executed well are a nightmare for defenses. B) In Redzone open the playbook. Make defense defend Run & Pass by utilizing combinations of Hock, Oliver, Mundt, Ham in Red Zone C) Viking coaches & players are top units this year. Make opponent have to defend BOTH Run & Pass in the Red Zone. KOC is an awesome coach. I am hoping Vikes Red Zone offense becomes less One Dimensional. 3 WR routes in tight area is not ideal due to all the holding the DBs get away with in playoff games. TEs are big, can box out and are always open. TEs are engines for both Run & Pass. They are also Sam Darnolds best friend in Red Zone - SKOL
A fan of both teams, the Lions looked more consistently focused and intense throughout the game. The Lions attitude toward nearly every play seemed more urgent, where the Vikings seemed uncharacteristically to be taking their own talent for granted. I've seen a lot of games this year that were billed in advance as likely to be very close shoot outs, but if one team or the other is a bit OVER confident, it gets lopsided fast. I too hope this loss helps the Vikings up their focus and intensity with the Rams (who I also like).
All season we have been hearing about the "complete game" and since it's the playoffs where there is no next week if you lose, will we get to finally see the Vikings unleash this " complete game"?
Sam missed 5 TDs where receivers were wide open. He missed high, he missed low. This was not a scheme problem and they didn’t not blanket the receivers. I really hope he can bounce back, but that was a bad time to have your worst game. I think sometimes you need that wake up call. Go KOC! SKOL! 💜 💜
Was it? Certainly a better time to have a bad game than this week. It might have been the best time to have a bad game. There is an argument that week 17 might have been a better time, which would have made last week a virtual bye and back up game, but would you prefer to back into the playoffs with back to back losses? Maybe week 14 vs the Bears might have worked to spread out the losses, but then week 18 would still have been an irrelevant bye game.
WE play clean, they hold and hit before the balls arrive (See Hock grab by Anzeloni) How can we win when they hold every play? Are guys practicing swatting hands this week - both line and receivers and LB, and Edge...ok everybody.
My learning from the week 18 Vikings loss to the Detroit Lions: 1. When the team is in the RedZone with no touchdown on 4th down, please kick the field goal for the 3 points. Avoid the temptation of going for a touchdown on 4th down. All points matter. Don't leave points on the field with all the effort into every drive. 2. When the opportunity presents itself, the team will score touchdowns building upon the points gained from previous field goals. 3. Remember #1, having #2 in mind.
Y'all complaining about him doing an interview.. it's only about a half hour interview. I'm sure there's a lot more football throughout the rest of the day.
I'm done grieving the week 18 loss. let's use that lesson for fuel for the playoffs.

TEs are big, can box out and are always open. TEs are engines for both Run & Pass. They are also Sam Darnolds best friend in Red Zone - SKOL
"Facemask Guy" LOL
No more talk just win!
I love learning from all these head coaches in the comments.
FIRE KOC
Use hand signals on defense. Overcome crowd noise.
A fan of both teams, the Lions looked more consistently focused and intense throughout the game. The Lions attitude toward nearly every play seemed more urgent, where the Vikings seemed uncharacteristically to be taking their own talent for granted. I've seen a lot of games this year that were billed in advance as likely to be very close shoot outs, but if one team or the other is a bit OVER confident, it gets lopsided fast. I too hope this loss helps the Vikings up their focus and intensity with the Rams (who I also like).
All season we have been hearing about the "complete game" and since it's the playoffs where there is no next week if you lose, will we get to finally see the Vikings unleash this " complete game"?
comments didnt dissapoint!!!! we go full throttle next week
I like the energy in the comments. Its on to the Rams and the expectations are no longer there so hopefully Sam balls out!
Sam missed 5 TDs where receivers were wide open. He missed high, he missed low. This was not a scheme problem and they didn’t not blanket the receivers. I really hope he can bounce back, but that was a bad time to have your worst game. I think sometimes you need that wake up call. Go KOC! SKOL! 💜 💜
Was it? Certainly a better time to have a bad game than this week. It might have been the best time to have a bad game. There is an argument that week 17 might have been a better time, which would have made last week a virtual bye and back up game, but would you prefer to back into the playoffs with back to back losses?
Maybe week 14 vs the Bears might have worked to spread out the losses, but then week 18 would still have been an irrelevant bye game.
KOC completely zoning out at the beginning lmao
Man find ways to run the ball. Not being able to score on the 2yd line is embarrassing
Well at least we have intel on what the Lions can throw at us if we meet for the divionals or championship game. And we will meet.
WE play clean, they hold and hit before the balls arrive (See Hock grab by Anzeloni) How can we win when they hold every play? Are guys practicing swatting hands this week - both line and receivers and LB, and Edge...ok everybody.
I trust KO 100%
I hope 5,6, and 7 seed win in the NFC. I wish for chaos, and I also want to beat the NFC North as a Lions fan.
My learning from the week 18 Vikings loss to the Detroit Lions:
1. When the team is in the RedZone with no touchdown on 4th down, please kick the field goal for the 3 points. Avoid the temptation of going for a touchdown on 4th down. All points matter. Don't leave points on the field with all the effort into every drive.
2. When the opportunity presents itself, the team will score touchdowns building upon the points gained from previous field goals.
3. Remember #1, having #2 in mind.
McVay did the same thing in week 1. Sometimes you just have to experience it.
The Lion hangover is real, remember?
There's a big difference between an eight vs a four day window... This is gonna be fun!
Y'all complaining about him doing an interview.. it's only about a half hour interview. I'm sure there's a lot more football throughout the rest of the day.
SKOL 💜💛
Another knife to pull out of my back. It's groundhog Day again
Vikings looked like a tasty shiner hooked through the head on a glow in the dark jig for the lions. What you expect
