Darnold had Zero coaching with the Jets
And it didnt get any better
He went to SF for their coach to teach him
Will root for him
RN they are the best team in the NFL. Just wild what they are doing on both sides of the Football. Just a treat to watch. They are now the favorites to make it out of the NFC. Wild what's happened
Minnesota Vikings always break our heart, but I’ll be damned if we don’t have some truly magical and fun seasons.
2022 was stressful, but man was it a blast.
This team feels different. They are DOMINANT
The Lions are gonna be hard to stop
@@steviechampagne
this will be wordy....don't bitch about it, you were warned and I am bored tonight and that's all on you.
The famed Purple People Eaters were DOMINANT to....more on that latter...
It's only a blast when ya win it all. There are zero trophies for having a blast, but in Minnesota, I guess one has to settle for less and be excited about it given their history of failures.
That was a bit harsh but unfortunately Viking fans get a bit too giddy over entertainment vs results.
I've heard everything you said before...4-0 is nice but they've not shown enough yet when it matters most.
Great starts aren't unheard of up there, neither are bad finishes.
I'm sure fans thought the Vikings were dominant and different in the 70's and despite 4 Super Bowl appearances they went 0-4 setting the standard for futility which is shared with the Buffalo Billlls.
And those 15-1 Vikings were...ahem...different to, and most certainly DOMINANT....they were destroying the league until
they faced the Falcons who apparently didn't get the memo or gave a damn and instead the it was the Vikings who were eliminated.
And they were different and quite dominant with Brett Favre who had an incredible regular season, one of his finest, until that train also crashed into the station against the Saints who weren't impressed either...
yes, been there and seen that before time and again.
Do ya see the pattern yet?
They're 4-0 which is the best they can be after 4 games, a job well done, but let's see where they are at after 17 games...then if they make it to the playoffs, which is never a long term problem in Minnesota either, let's see what they can do with that opportunity, for a change which has been a long term problem for almost half of a century.
It feels different because ya really want it to be different, and frankly I don't blame anyone for feeling that way.
It's been 48 years since the Vikings won an NFC Championship, I'd want it to feel different to because teams can go even longer winning absolutely nothing, just ask the Cardinals, Lions & Browns who are enjoying 77, 67, and and 60 years of winning absolutely nothing with some seasons sprinkled in that were allegedly a "blast"
History cares little for blasts unless there is a Lombardi Trophy attached to it, which is why so many fans hated the Patriots during the Brady Era...they reminded just about everybody else how horribly inferior their teams often were....
which is what the Chiefs have been doing since Mahomes arrived, fans are becoming tired of them now, but it's not their job to stop themselves...it's the other team's job to stop them.
...and oddly enough it was Tom Brady who has given those Chiefs their only hiccup at the Super Bowl level, but I do digress...
I'm sure many Viking fans are wondering if they'll live long enough to see that first ever Super Bowl championship team in Minnesota. Anybody 50 and over should be very concerned, history is not in their favor because it's a trend...
62 years so far...with zero world championships and 48 years removed from their last Super Bowl appearance as NFC Champions. That's a poor resume.
Darnold is right about one thing, they're not being taken very seriously, nor should they be taken very seriously.
They haven't earned it yet.
Your QB is Sam Darnold not Patrick Mahomes, let's see how he ranks at season's end.
Cautious optimism....very cautious optimism might serve you a bit better, but hey....you do you.
But I'll level with you on three things....
1. I think there is a very good chance that the Vikings will be going to New Orleans in February, 2025....as spectators, of course.
2. On the bright side, the Vikings do have an amazing-looking stadium, so ya got that going for ya.
3. Just to show that I'm not the Grinch who stole Xmas from the state of Minnesota...If they somehow manage to win the 2024 NFC Championship Game; I'll actually root for 'em as long as they're not facing my team.
The touchdown throw to Jefferson was a laser guided missile. Go Sam ! GO VIKES !
Hope he beats the Jets. That would be awesome. Sam deserves it.
After only putting 9 up against the broncos that’s not asking much 😂 SKOL
Any given Sunday man @@vBadCo
@@vBadCoany given Sunday
Kevin o Connell also played for the jets
And the way he got cut was awful
Seattle lost…. only 2 undefeated teams left and my Vikings are one of them. SKOL
Vikes fan here: Lions looked amazing on monday nite
@@srobeck77both defenses looked horrible on Monday. No chance Goff goes 18-for-18 against the Vikings lol
I listened to all the "experts" before the season yacking about the Bears & Packers being the new kids in the north. They almost all had Minny winning 4-6 games. Funny how it's working out so far.
SKOL
Well the Seattle conversation just went down the toilet.😂
Vikings have the 4th most points for, and the 3rd least points against this season for far, as well as being tied for the biggest point differential in the NFL, purple and gold firing on all cylinders.
The team hasnt trailed in points since half way through the 1st quarter of week 1.
That's balance, that's fun football.
Peaking too early I think
@thenightwolf6458 not even.
They haven't had their All Pro TE.
Wait until their offense has all their weapons
Rich, please still love us when we hand the Jets their hearts. SKOL!
As a Vikings fan I'm pleased but very confused. I hope this is real and turns out to be sustainable. I was prepared for the 6-win season.
Well if I were you I'd stay confused, that way, when they fail you'll be too confused to realize it and that will dull the painful reality that is the Minnesota Vikings.
As always I'm here to help and you're welcome!
Flores went prevent in the second half which gave up big chunk plays, not a fan of that. I would have liked to keep them struggling versus letting them back in and to hang around but i get it. You don't want to put schemes on film if you don't need it but whoa, it got pretty close
Gotta give LaFleur some credit as well. He has a way of preventing his QB's from getting pressured, and I think it was pretty clear that was what was happening in the second half
They didn’t want to injure their players, it’s a long season
Probably a result of the powerful cushion, but it got scary when GB started getting things dialed in. Maybe a tad too much confidence that his guys could get it done under any scheme. Aside from an absurd special teams play, and a really bad call on that “interception”, and the second half would have been quite different.
I viewed as a ripple effect of sorts. It was painfully obvious KOC was trying to force feed Jones to get a TD to rub salt in their wounds and it wasn't working. Offense kept going 3 and out and the defense was basically living on the field for the entire second half. They were GASSED and couldn't keep up with anybody. The pressure totally evaporated and Love picked them apart with ease. Crazy how fast bad playcalling and fatigue can snowball.
My exact point. You don’t want to put scheme on film..
When JJ is healthy, who are they gonna go with? It seems like Sam maybe found his home.
Trojan fans have always known who Sam is. We are happy that the rest of the world is finally getting to see it. FO SAM!
I am a Los Angeles born man from a USC family. I also went to high school in Duluth, Minnesota. I consider that state to be my second home. This is glorious.
Love seeing an SC (that's San Clemente) guy playing great for my Vikings!
4-1 rich has a curse ...everytime he has something good to say about the underdog they lose or get injured
That Zach Wilson line was insane I'm crying
I really do not blame Flores defense for the comeback except for Greenbay’s final drive. A few bad turnovers on special team and offense lead to short fields. We can and will be better.
Even you know later in the season when love isn’t throwing interceptions and the team is playing normal and not dropping every pass and fumbling it’s going to be a different game. Vikings are considered one of the best teams in football packers lost by only 2 after one of the worst games I’ve seen them play in a long time. The future is bright see you near the end of the season!
@@jessematheny3636 believe or not that was also the Vikings worse game thus far
@@jessematheny3636it’s took several bad calls and mistakes by the Vikings for yall to get back
Vikes offense has a new nickname, my three sons. Jefferson Addison Hockinson.
Might I suggest, Sam and Sons
I like it😁
@@mattpatterson8633 Sons of Sam have another feeling
Darnold and the Vikings being 4-0 is by far the biggest surprise of the 2024 NFL season. I seriously thought they'd be the worst NFC North team in a crowded/tough division. Not sure how far they'll go but it's exciting to watch and hella refreshing
You clearly don’t know football. @TheAireaidLord and your username is just silly Lord lol.
Grow a pair learn the sport
soon as the vikings got darnold, i said they would win 10 or 11 games. but so far, they've BLOWN away even my expectations
@@chadsummerchild1120 What are you talking about Chad (dumb name BTW) ....EVERYONE thought the Vikings would suck at the start of the season....except maybe some Vikings fans....that is why there is so much hype by analysts now.
@@lunatune3714 everybody thought huh🤔.. u mean the MEDIA thought we would suck.. u must B a niner or packer fan🤡.. anybody wit even just 1 eye could see just purely based off of personnel were Uber talented an just needed a decent QB to lead the ship.. so guess what bud.. leave the THINKING to us😂 your clearly incapable of doing that successfully bud💯💯
@@taetay2x21Little triggered there buddy 🙄.. I'm a Viking fan and I never once said I thought that... though I was a little concerned when JJ went down ... and yes, the media... the analysts, the quote...unquote experts that get paid to analyze teams... the vegas odds makers... everybody, which is why the wins are so damn sweet . maybe you should hook up with Chad ... you both seem... hmmmm..... sensitive....
Sam and KOC revenge game coming up!
Year of the Ginger 🛡️🏈⚔️
Justin Jefferson is a great decoy. On the first touchdown to Addison the safety followed Jefferson which took the lid off the deep end
He's more of a legitimate threat than a decoy, but I get what you mean
My Vikings are going to make the Jets look like a JV team! Rodgers is 40 and washed on 2 bad legs. Foh
They nearly lost a 28 point lead
@@MyChannel-ol1zz nearly dont count and never has, fella
PAckers are fraudulent couldnt beat any good team smh
I wouldnt go that far. Not when they only lost by 3 to the Vikes.
@@srobeck77Refs kinda helped that score.
@@srobeck77 7 points came off a muffed punt by minnesota and another 7 against prevent defense --> 15 real points scored.
To put it in other words. The Vikings had 6-7 great offensive drives while GB only had 1-2 really good drives on offense.
Flores shut them out for 3 QTRS (Fluke muffed punt doesnt count) and thus all the packers did is score in garbage time.
I’m most impressed how the Vikings O-line is doing. That GB front are beasts, and they kept Darnold pretty clean. That’s three excellent defenses in a row. Keep it going against NY!
Anybody else getting hit with these 30 second commercials now on a regular?
Geno Smith and Sam Darnold were both cast off from the NY Jets. Both are finding success with different teams. Do the Jets fans still want Trevor Lawrence?
Skol
As a Vikes fan, all the free agent signings n draft had me excited for the season. Told friends to watch out, Vikes will surprise people this year. Felt so good about this team. I flew to MN from AZ for the Niners game in US Bank stadium. This team is only going to get better, the D flys to the ball. So far we’ve beaten 3 playoff teams from last year that have high expectations. Niners, Texans, Packers.
Sam Darnold is finally getting his fair shot in the NFL now that he's playing with a team with great offensive weapons & NOT the poor Jets who even with Joe Montana at his prime could make them that much better. SKOL!
The Vikings did to GB what GB did to the Cowboys in the playoffs.
Remember that game? Cowboys were up like 26-0 by half. At one point Lafleur had the backups in but Dallas stated putting up points and he put the starters back in.
The final score looked "close" but the game was never in doubt.
That win against the Packers gave me chills of 2022, disappointing win.
We’ve only trailed for 3 minutes all season.
We needed SOME sort of adversity. Now you can be sure that we will NEVER take our foot off the gas no matter what the score is.
The end result is a Win, and it’s a win for the players and coaches too. Think of it as a free lesson
I almost feel sorry for whiners like this that are "disappointed" from winning. Like how bad do u got it irl, that lead you down this path?
I could see the Vikings getting their first loss against the Lions. Lions are a good team and destroyed the Seahawks putting up 42 points. But since it's a rival game, we'll see what happens. It can go either way. But I highly doubt Vikings will go undefeated. And if the Vikings lose to Jets then prepare for the shitstorm that will come and everyone saying Darnold is back to his old self
He says um a lot😊
He's saying UM translation GoBLue!
Not everyone is a polished public speaker
So does Mahomes. They’re football players, not trained public speakers. He actually says a few things with substance, unlike most of them
Prolly need to get a hobby or 2 instead of hyper focusing on non-sense like this
He says um because he's the master at not offending anyone especially the league he shills for.
I love the guy but he's bought and paid for.
Tf are you talking about?
@Dwayne, what an absurd and idiotic thing to say. Care to elaborate? I’m guessing you won’t.
His personality tends toward the quiet and modest … the type of person who prefers to let his actions speak for him. Standing up in front of sports reporters who’re trying to generate copy to attract eyeballs is not something he looks too comfortable with. But he knows it’s expected, so he gives it his best shot. I don’t find the ums distracting. I’m glad to see him get some positive recognition.
The comment is about Darnold, not Rich Eisen. 🤣🤣🤣
@DwayneAyles-tc3dv so in typical hypocrite fashion, you mean to tell us that you go to work each day for free or are you also "bought and paid" for?
