As I've always said, against better competition in the playoffs you have to tweak your play calling. Minnesota needs to involve the TE's snd RB's in a short pass game. Simplify it for Darnold. Run the ball more. Then, that sets up the deep play action. The point is Dam needs to get the ball out of his hands quicker. If the play isn't there Sam needs to tuck the ball and run. Make your offense simpler but more decisive. Defensively don't change much of anything.
With the running game, I'd like to see it be more creative. You watch other teams and you see nice run plays, and think to yourself why don't we do some of that. Also use Aaron Jones in the passing game more.
@stxmisanthrope I agree.
Darnold carried this team 11 of the 14 wins. He needs better protection or plays need to change. He also has a run capability that has not been exposed by KOC because. I think KOC is/was worried about injury and perhaps rightfully so with not real backup. Now, he has DJ so I expect to see designed run plays.
Pete is that Charvel tele?? Go Vikes!!!
SKOL
Vikings got tackle better by the legs , when they body tackle they get dragged 4-5 yards down feild . Darnald has to release ball quicker just my takes and observations
The o-line is complete garbage it’s been a joke for the last 14 years
Notice Pete has to couch his words in order to protect his position with the Vikings..... whereas the other guy can lay it all out about the offensive line.
Well when one of your olfeensive line players has a bad day doesn’t make it where you just stay in the pocket. You have to adjust every game. KOC after half time had to make Darnold roll out of pocket. He didn’t. Thats all on KOC!! That is why they lost .. so in the rams game there will be. Break down , KOC has to make the adjustment . That ‘s what drive me nuts about KOC . He just doesn’t adjust enough.
Amen
LAAST WEEK WAS A PSY-OP, VIKINGS ALREADY CLINCHED THE SUPERBOWL WIN!
DUDE ON THE LEFT IS A HELL OF A YES MAN...
4SERA
Awesome show. You two good info, good vibes,
Yeah a Charvel tele,roasted maple maybe mahogany neck? rosewood or ebony fingerboard, nice!!!attitude is gonna win this game (mindset)head game
Darnold just missed at least 4 to 5 td opportunities in the first half which changes the game entirely
What's going to change this time 🤔
@ I wish I knew bc then I’d bet on the outcome. I made a decent amount betting on the Vikes games this year early on. They had one of the best records against the spread. If I had to bet on this game I say they lose to the Rams just like I bet they’d lose to the Rams earlier this season.
That made me seriously lol. Yup, missing 4 or 5 TDs usually does have a negative effect on the whole winning thing.
@ lol yup high level analysis I conjured up 🤣
@@michaeljohnson8353 Please don't think I was laughing at you. Just thought it was a funny understatement, like saying someone who got their head chopped off had died of excessive sudden weight loss..
Vikings have two Sam’s and they are both bad. So funny
What's Peperjack? Are you a misspelled WI cheese or creepy peeper (also misspelled) on Jacks?
If Sam struggles expect Daniel Jones to come into the game for the second half. He may be on a short leash, but I predict either Sam gets banged up and DJ comes in OR SD struggles and DJ comes in to win the game in the fourth quarter. I believe he goes on to beat the Lions with SD on the bench. The Rams and Lions will not be prepared for him as much as they are licking their chops to take down a QB both have beaten already this year.
SKOL Still delusional SMH!
If the Vikings do not make changes and adopt the three-step drop back and quick throws they have no chance to beat the Rams, let alone the Lions the next week. No chance. We need a HUGE day from TJ Hockenson and Cam Aikers, not just rely on JJ and Aaron Jones like we have been.
Would be nice to hit J.A. and Speedy some (a lot?) too.
The childish laughter non-stop makes it hard to like listening to the show
They just got overly aggressive with our offense up and down
Pete’s got a Telecaster
WTF I have been a fan for over 45 years this team has ripped us apart for the entire time of their existence let down after let down you don’t know anything 3 years what a joke you’re a clown don’t even try
The offensive line has been crap for over a decade
I think people react to their emotions at the moment. It was hard to watch this offense compared to what they were showing the entire season. We know they’re better than that.
Sam just wasn’t there Sunday. Things look totally different if those completion are made. He’s better than that way better
Skol! 🏈💜💛
Darnold got some humble pie...now .remember how it tastes and BEAT THE RAMS.....
Your sad vikes #1 beneficiary of penalties leading to 1st downs all year long vs the easiest schedule. Ya was just never good lmfao.
Cinderella shoe came off sunday night for sam dernard
The Vikings get to go to SoFi which is probably the second easiest away stadium to play in in terms of home field advantage. That is a break for the Vikings.
Just tell flores to make the defense hold and dpi every play like the lions. Refs aren't calling it every play and they know it. You have to cheat and vikings coaching are too dumb to do it.
Facts I seen that every time the wr and db got close .
Still the only team in the NFC that is capable of beating the Lions in the playoffs is the Vickings with a competent KOC. In the AFC only the Ravens, not the Bills, as for the Chiefs' match-up; the Lions' Oline 'll neutralize Jones & for D Anzalone neutralizes Kelce.
We were never going to win that game when the referee's were in the Lions pocket, And seveeral pass interference calls that should have been made. I'm in no way excusing Sam Darnold for his play, Or the offensive line playing offensive, But it sure didn't help. There was also a missed facemask call on Darnold, And a Safety that should have been called in the end zone that could have changed the momentum of the game.
Alec, you must learn the definition of mitigate. 😂
i may have said that a lot and messed that up multiple times lol
Thanks for being a positive yet realistic voice about the Vikings. The doom and gloom from fans is getting exhausting. Being disappointed about something means we had hope and joy, which isn’t a guarantee in this league. Great podcast, Alec!
haha, appreciate that!
Our WRs need to expect and play better through the physicality
Alec, I put this on KOC. Sam is still relatively inexperienced. He should have quick slants and RB passes to relax Sam and also slow down teh rush if rushing isn't working.
Great as always Alec! I believe in the bounce back from Darnold. It was more than just him having an off night.
thanks for listening!
This guy is good
Funny how discussion of playing the Lions was aawww, the Lions; now, it's, oh, we've gotta game plan and discuss this matchup....
Alec you are going a great job young man. Keep it up.
Face it Detroit Lions fans you're going to get your butt whooped we will outscore you and the biggest thing is we're going to have two takeaways as usual especially against the Lions you're going to see a defense like you've never seen in your life be ready
👍
Darnold will choke tonight
I missed the game. How bad did the vikings whoop the lions?
Minnesota Vikings 41 Detroit Lions 29 here's the reason why Sam darnold is going to go off too many receivers on the field for Detroit to defend Aaron Jones is going to have a 100-yard game might add Hawkinson is going to have a 100-yard game and two touchdowns to make up what he hasn't been able to do this is his first game to get to play Detroit again in reality
Jones is going to go off!! Their interior Dline is terrible!! Also Hock is just due to have a great game! SKOL!
Lol
Alec - Great podcast!
Vikings whooping that ass on Sunday night
Ok 👍 👌
I'm not sure why. But I'm not worried about the lions, I just know we are going to win.
The Vikings lost the last four. You might not be sure, but five is closer to one. Go Lions
@brokentubing we didn't have a qb last year.
Good luck. You will not meet the talent of the Vikings without your cheat shot dirty playing that Campbell coaches.
@@kbr6783 The NFL isn't cheerleading you want it to be. Real Vikings weren't anything like the soft Vikings that play football. You painted his hair yellow with barrettes and have him prance around. Safe worries to you
Hell yes we are! Have us winning 34-24 SKOL!
Lions 🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅
Agree ... stick with W.R.
This coaching staff, starting with KOC, squeeze EVERYTHING out of this team. I'm convinced that the 24' Vikings are a 9 or 10 win team with an average NFL coaching staff, and a 7 win team with lesser coaches. What KOC is showing us is that when his first string QB is healthy, his team is going to be relevant. When you put Flores in the mix it's almost perfection.
All your shows are awesome. This is one of your best!
I just am obsessed with your enthusiasm!!! Unmatched!
Thanks for answering the question Alec. Love your content keep it up!
