    Let’s talk about this defense. One of the most dominant nose tackles in football (Phillips) is lined up next to a first round pick 5T (Tillery) and an elite run stopper (Bullard). Rushing the passer we’ve got the league leader in pressures (Greenard), second on the league in sacks (Jones), and a Swiss army linebacker who leads the league in non-offensive touchdowns via pick sixes (Van Ginkel). At off ball, we have a guy that gets a pick every time he starts (Grugier-Hill) and two guys who are everywhere the football is (Pace and Cashman). If, by some miracle, you manage to survive that, you have to throw at a secondary with a hall of fame cornerback (Gillmore), a pro bowler (Griffin), an elite free safety (Bynum), the active career leader in interceptions (Smith), and a Jack of all trades that can play all 13 positions on defense that’ll take your head off if you get too close (Metellus). Your lone chance are quick hitters in the slot against Murphy, but I’ll take that lone weakness 10 out of 10 times

    I think what is being under stated is the last 6 quarters the Vikings are getting away from what got them 3-0. You look back to those 3 games Darnold was spreading the ball around to multiple different guys and then the second half of the Packers game KOC was force feeding Aaron Jones then against the Jets it was like he was trying to force JJ open. People who think Darnold is "Regressing" doesn't know how to watch football. Did Darnold struggle against a top 5 jets defense absolutely but KOC's play calls the last 6 quarters have been terrible. He needs to get Darnold back to spreading the ball around the Vikings have to many weapons to not be able to scheme different guys open instead of just force feeding one. If one guy is your offense then it becomes so much easier to take it away.

      @TimothyAustfjord ok where to start on this one. First off i know that KOC doesn't throw the ball that's on Darnold BUT this isn't madden my guy yes there are plays designed to get the ball to one particular player just about every pass play has multiple reads a QB has to go through and great offensive play callers scheme multiple guys open the last 6 quarters KOC has failed at doing that. If that's not good enough for you let me ask you a question. How efficient is 6 catches for 92 yards on 14 targets? Not very? Or how about 30 yards on 14 rushes? No again? Meanwhile Nailor had zero targets in the game. That is an inability to scheme a running game and an inability to scheme past a player who was taken away from you. That falls on KOC and he knows it. Did Darnold struggle against a top 5ish Jets defense? Absolutely. But KOC didn't do him any favors and he hasn't been since halftime of the Packers game.

    FWIW, this team is just a couple of additions from being absolutely dangerous, and I have a hunch that we're going to see Detroit expose the few areas that could use additional upgrading. I would definitely love to see the Vikes use some of their cap space for a dominating DT (Simmons? Dexter Lawrence? etc), and/or an upgrade to talent/depth for the iOL (even if Reisner is returning), and/or depth at CB (it's not the most physical group, so attrition is a concern...). And yes, Andy's suggestion for more depth at RB is a wise one (although IMHO Ty Chandler is good).

    I remember when KOC was hired he talked about putting an emphasis on winning the “middle eight” as in the last four minutes of the first half and first four minutes of the second half. The last two games have been lacking in the middle eight which allowed momentum to swing the other way so the packers and jets could get back into the game in the second half. Hopefully coach can get that point of emphasis corrected moving forward. SKOL!

I think some adversity may be needed for our team to retain their grit throughout a game. They start strong and seem to wrap things up strong, but that middle section is nerve-racking.

Evans... no need to even get that close to a guy that called a fair catch. No excuse for an athlete of his ability, he was 5 to 10 yards away when the fair catch was being called for.

    Wright is good at pinning them when we're punting from good field position, but his leg seems pretty weak. To be fair, punting from your own end zone is tough. Priority in that position is just to get the punt off. But even punting from say the 20, he isn't hitting any booming punts this season (and if I remember correctly, neither was he last season).

      Any qb without Jones would suffer.

    Bro the Viking will give up a TD if the team starts on their own 1. They need to stop letting these 95 plus yard drives happen
