yeah i observed those stats. check it, regarding points scored and allowed, offensively and defensively, they are MID. but yet they're still top 3 in ppg scored and allowed. this proves that this team is extremely EFFICIENT on both sides of the ball 👍
This team and it's fans have been through so much heartbreak, hope to see them win it someday. I really wanted to see how J.J. McCarthy would do in his rookie season but ah well gotta wait till' next season.
Next year should be considered his redshirt rookie season. With Darnold and McCarthy I’d say we have a good 5-10 SB window, optimistically 15 if we can keep a majority of our younger players.
Sam Darnold didn't become the starter. He was the starter when he was signed. He was the starter throughout training camp and preseason. He's BEEN the starter.
Not sure why every media source keeps saying jj was supposed to be qb 1 the gameplan as communicated by vikings staff has always been that Darnold was going to start.
We haven't been Darkhorse since preseason ended. We frontrunners right now, barring injury to key players we can and should continue to dominate week to week. The best part is that its not happening through Sam Darnolds arm, its happening with exceptional coaching and team wins with everyone doing their part. We lucky it has created opportunities for Sam to do well so far, like all games he will face his adversity this year but the roster will more than make up for it. Thanks for the great video!
Darnold deserves more credit. He's making big time throws in crucial parts of games. Plus he has more confidence and poise and less hesitation than Cousins. And ironically, the fact that he's not being pressured to win games solely off his arm -- mixed with the defense and special teams playing lights out -- has him winning games with his arm. It's definitely been a team effort but he's more than just keeping up his end of the bargain. He's playing like an mvp.
We ❤ you too. Great analysis brother. I just subscribed to your channel. I agree with you 100%. Vikings is one of the best teams early this young season. We can be confident in our abilities but we aren't cocky. Let's just concentrate to win each game, one game at a time.
To be fair to Darnold, it was the plan coming into the season starting him and letting McCarthy sit. McCarthy was looking good in August and might have taken the starting spot, but the injury pretty much took that out of question. Darnold doing really good, but we have yet to really see them play from behind, that's the biggest concern/question that still out there for Darnold. Because right now, Vikings is doing really great keeping that pressure off of Darnold. Definitely look like they can make the playoffs and possibly some noise, but I would like to see Darnold play from behind because playoff football is a whole different animal!
Sam Darnold has picked up a lot from Shanahan,McVay, and O'Connell. Some of the greatest offensive minds in the game. Darnold may have a future in coaching after picking up all this game.
'69 Vikings.......came out of nowhere with a third year coach. The defensive line was legendary! Can history repeat, only the Vikes demolish the Chiefs this time around! Skol
At this point in the season and how they're playing both offensively and defensively the Vikings sure seem to be legit. I'm way more confident now in this team even from preseason. From the day that the Vikings let the "King of trash stats" walk the Vikings instantly became a better team. Too bad for the rest of the league that the Vikings now have a decent competent QB who cares about winning and not building up "trash stats".
Sam Darnold was good for the Panthers for the first three weeks. I’ve seen to much pad play to trust him yet. Maybe if he keeps playing well for a few more weeks, but not yet
What have the Lions or Packers shown that makes them a better team at this point in the season? I understand that we all know how the Vikings typically play throughout the season. Their history certainly speaks for itself. However, objectively the Vikings are better than either the Packers or the Lions so far this year. Not Justin win loss record either.
No offense, but as a Vikings fan I'm not looking to you for hope. I already know the team is better than the Packers in Detroit. Just waiting for a chance to prove it. It's the same narrative before every game so far this season." Yeah they beat a good team but they're not that good."
The Vikings all they do is brag big then choke in the post season. You still have to beat the Lions and the Packers .Then their a possibility that you choke the post season.
Vikings should be the favorites to win the division at this point. Top 3 in both points scored and points allowed. This is a SB caliber team.
yeah i observed those stats. check it, regarding points scored and allowed, offensively and defensively, they are MID. but yet they're still top 3 in ppg scored and allowed. this proves that this team is extremely EFFICIENT on both sides of the ball 👍
Amen! SKOL!!!
Wait till we get tj back and we have all of our weapons
Scary hours!!
Call us the Minnesota Ghosts
And Addison
This team and it's fans have been through so much heartbreak, hope to see them win it someday. I really wanted to see how J.J. McCarthy would do in his rookie season but ah well gotta wait till' next season.
For sure! The fan base has been thru hell

That may be true, but JJ was trending upward for sure
According to the local talking heads in the media.@@MetroSportsYT
Jj was never starting. If you know anything about Koc you’d know he wouldn’t do thatb
Not sure why every media source keeps saying jj was supposed to be qb 1 the gameplan as communicated by vikings staff has always been that Darnold was going to start.
That may be true, but based off preseason performances I think it’s safe to say that JJ was trending upward.
If JJs floor is Darnold and ceiling is Mahomes/Josh Allen we will be in good hands

Thanks man! The team has a lot of talent! Hopefully they can keep building on it

Yessir!! Thanks for the love! I’ll be rooting for the Vikings throughout the season!

The Vikings WILL win the NFC North! They will start this Sunday by beating the Green Bay Packers in Lambeau. SKOL!!!!!!!
LETS GOOOO

Who knows maybe!!
This team was bad ass outta the pre season gate , showing the insane depth
'69 Vikings.......came out of nowhere with a third year coach. The defensive line was legendary! Can history repeat, only the Vikes demolish the Chiefs this time around! Skol
Been a long time since 69 man
Lot of games left to see before talking SB, they're looking real good though.
Facts! Lots of time
At this point in the season and how they're playing both offensively and defensively the Vikings sure seem to be legit. I'm way more confident now in this team even from preseason. From the day that the Vikings let the "King of trash stats" walk the Vikings instantly became a better team. Too bad for the rest of the league that the Vikings now have a decent competent QB who cares about winning and not building up "trash stats".
I wouldn’t say Kirk is bad. He’s a good QB
If the Vikes win even just both divisional games against the Lions & Packers, that should put them in a great position to win the North
I think they’ll have to go like 4-2 in the division to give them a real shot to win the division, assuming they handle business outside the division
Big Vikings One game at a time don’t have Super Bowl dreams early in the season!
Facts! Take it one at a time!
Everyone out of the Vikings sphere thought jj was gonna start over darnold. But us Vikings knew darnold would start jj would sit the whole season
Sam Darnold was good for the Panthers for the first three weeks. I’ve seen to much pad play to trust him yet. Maybe if he keeps playing well for a few more weeks, but not yet
Fair enough! Let’s see if he can keep it up!
If the Lions are by far the best team in the division, they would be playing like it, but they aren't.
Bottom line the vikes actually have mojo,on both sides of the ball, basically like they did n the 70s ,
Swag!
What have the Lions or Packers shown that makes them a better team at this point in the season? I understand that we all know how the Vikings typically play throughout the season. Their history certainly speaks for itself. However, objectively the Vikings are better than either the Packers or the Lions so far this year. Not Justin win loss record either.
You also have to look at history too. Packers have always been good, and Detroit made it to the championship game. So take it all into account
as a vikings fan. no, they're not. even if they are...be quiet 😅 you'll jinx it.
Facts!
No offense, but as a Vikings fan I'm not looking to you for hope. I already know the team is better than the Packers in Detroit. Just waiting for a chance to prove it. It's the same narrative before every game so far this season." Yeah they beat a good team but they're not that good."
alrighty
The Vikings all they do is brag big then choke in the post season. You still have to beat the Lions and the Packers .Then their a possibility that you choke the post season.
😳😳
whoa, whoa, whoaaaaa!! slow down yo! ask if they are PLAYOFF contenders first
At this point if they go .500, they are guaranteed a spot
lol facts!
LMFAO
HAHAHAHHAHA
Lions are overrated.
Are they?
We know about the like and subbing so when you beg for it right away i dislike since you think we are stupid and dont know...
I’m pretty sure every UA-camr does the exact same thing lol! Why are you getting so upset over me trying to grow the channel lol
