When it comes to winning the Super Bowl (which is all I want to see for the Vikings), records don’t mean sh*t. The 18-0 Patriots came in 12 point favorites over the Giants who were 10-6 during the season. The Giants ended up winning the game. It’s all about staying healthy and hitting on all cylinders at the right time. This Viking’s team can absolutely beat any team in the NFL on any given Sunday. All these rankings and predictions don’t mean squat after 11 games. Time will tell, and if Darnold gets more consistent and we’re not hit with the injury bug, our chances are as definitely possible.
Yup. Here’s one for you. I read an article that discussed QB play using advanced stats. It separated QB production when the game was on the line versus running up the score and playing with big leads or from far behind. Turns out, Darnold’s is one of the best when the game is on the line. He graded out as one of the most clutch QBs in the league. It’s crazy. And people won’t talk about it because the regular season is largely about flash, blowouts, style points and legacy. Those are the media favorites. But in the playoffs, clutch matters. In the playoffs, teams have to know how to find different ways to win. In the playoffs you have to know how to response when you get punched in the mouth. Darnold is improving and that’s a scary thing. Anybody can win it all.
The Vikings are like the buccaneers the year they won the super bowl with Brad Johnson they relied on their defense and offense did what it did scored when needed to
Media been talking shiit about the Vikings almost losing to the Bears, but yet they forgot that tne Packers almost lost just the week before by a blocked kick.
I agree the Vikings play zone defense and that’s where they get smashed the middle of the field is wide open if they can stop the short pass I think it would give the line enough time to put pressure on the quarterback
People gotta remember that this is Sam Darnold's first year with the Vikings and he's doing pretty damn good! He still needs some help in certain areas but overall I would much rather have him over Cousins any day!..SKOL
@@horrious8317 Have the Vikings improved or taken a step back since beating Buffalo at home in 2022? Because I don't understand where you're getting this idea that the Vikings are clearly subordinate to the Bills...... or the Eagles, for that matter. The Lions I can understand -- at least until we avenge the home loss; but there's nothing about the other 3 that would make them automatic favorites.
First of all, if the Vikings would have lost to the bears towards the end of the game, you would have been picking the defense apart! It's a good thing the offense was firing on all cylinders to bail them out. How can you say Vikes against eagles is going to be a hell of a game? The Bears gave them a hell of a game AND it should have been a cakewalk. The bears game should be a wake up call to shore up your deficiencies. No disagreement about a sneaky record. Win is a win but it is very dangerous to allow a record to misrepresent our capabilities against a good team. Clenching titles is not about your record. Look at the 2007 Pats. Yep, I am critically analytical.
Keep in mind that this is a divisional game, and they're always tough no matter who's doing better in any given year. The Bears had their backs to the wall and responded. I knew this game would be close. I just wish the Vikings would keep that foot on their neck and not let these teams back in the game. We need to be able to put pressure on the QB from DT position so the QB can not step up in the pocket. I can go on and on, but I've been saying this for 51 years. Control the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, and great things will happen. When have the Vlikings ever had that? We've had one or the other but never both. Look at the Patriots for years they had it and won many SB's. Now look at Chief's, same thing. We are in a window now and for the next 4 years. We can't waste this opportunity again.
We might be one of the only teams to miss the playoffs with 12+ wins. The NFC North is stacked and the Lions and Packers don't seem to be slowing down any time soon. Somebody needs to recalculate the odds of making the playoffs in a division with 3 or more 12 win teams (if it's even happened before). I don't think the "90% of teams who start 5-2 make the playoffs" stat even applies to us anymore. There's just too many other teams with excellent records in our division.
I don’t know about any of the other teams as far as depth on either the O-Line or D-Line positions are concerned, but the Vikings can afford a single loss. Losing Darishaw has already proven to be a major blow. Neither of his replacements haven’t been able to handle opposing defensive lineman. If they can stay healthy 🙏🙏🙏🤞🤞maybe they’ll be able to get past whomever they’ll wind up facing in the initial round of the wildcard round. We can forget the records, cuz whenever they start, everyone will be playing their a**es off.
I think this national media disrespect both us fans more than it does the Vikings organization. Our players should be pissed, and taking it out on the bext team ever single week. 🤬🤬🤬 SKOL! SKOL!! SKOL!!!
Actually, the Lions remind me of the 98 Vikings, and we all know what happened that year. Just waiting for the Gary Anderson moment they will have in the playoffs that will send then home crying.

You haven't seen a potent offense? We went up 28-0 by halftime in Lambleau. We definitely have a potent offense. Our problem is consistency and putting teams away late. We can jump out on anybody, including the Lions, if our offense gets hot tho.
DEFENSE NEEDS T0 STOP PLAYING STAND STILL HAPPY FEET AND GET TO THE BALL (HITMAN) VS BEARS CALEB DIME PASS SIDELINE TO HIS RB WHEN IF HITMAN WAS BALL Attacking THAT PLAY WOULD BE IN HITMANS HANDS DEFINITELY INTERCEPTION OR TIP BALL TO HIS CB FOR INTERCEPTION
Put the rush on Goff - make him throw it before he's ready - no rushing 3 - bring the heat and make him get rid of it - we get gashed when we fall back
Cant believe Patrick said Vikings are as good as the Eagles 😂 They beat the Rams, and we lost to them. Sam Darnold throws bad passes, does t run enough, and throws a lot of interceptions turn to McCarthy for 2025!
Go look at the Eagles schedule...compare it to the Vikings. Eagles really haven't played any good teams. Barkley goes down, and they're done. That's where they may edge out the Vikings...their running game....but.......
Whenever it is that the first coach or assistant gets fired from Detroit we’re going to hear about them orchestrating another spygate type scheme. Granted they’re good. But they went from good to unstoppable out of nowhere and when you watch them it’s like they already know every play the other team is going to run. I also don’t see them doing anything in the playoffs because the league actively clamps down on that type of stuff.
Vikings are the ___ best team in the NFL!

The Lions play the bills so I think they might lose that one
Vikings are the highly erratic best team in the NFL

Media has never given the Vikings any credit - it's always about how the other team lost
Tommy what should my Vikings get credit for!? They've done nothing kid shh!
@@cheddarcheese1030Look! It's a closet Cheesehead!
@cheddarcheese1030 that's right -
Actually right we don't get any respect from any big NFL people when we should when we are 9-2

Love the content king 👑
The Vikings are like the buccaneers the year they won the super bowl with Brad Johnson they relied on their defense and offense did what it did scored when needed to
My opinion is that the Vikings are the 4th best team in the NFL right now and second in the NFC!
Media been talking shiit about the Vikings almost losing to the Bears, but yet they forgot that tne Packers almost lost just the week before by a blocked kick.

The Vikings are the Wayne Gretzky of the league
You the man Pat
3rd Best Team in the NFL
People gotta remember that this is Sam Darnold's first year with the Vikings and he's doing pretty damn good! He still needs some help in certain areas but overall I would much rather have him over Cousins any day!..SKOL
I'm banking on the Lions and Eagles peaking now and the Vikings sneak up on one or both of them in the playoffs.
The Vikings are the fourth best team in the league
u put vikings over the chiefs lions eagles and bills?? yeah idk about that
absolutely not
We can beat any of the other top 5 teams on a good night. I don't know if we will but we've proven we can hang with and even beat excellent teams.
I put them below the bills, lions and chiefs, but I put them over the Eagles
@@horrious8317 Have the Vikings improved or taken a step back since beating Buffalo at home in 2022? Because I don't understand where you're getting this idea that the Vikings are clearly subordinate to the Bills...... or the Eagles, for that matter.

The media has never liked the Vikings. I guess being underrated can work to their advantage in the playoffs.
i don't anticipate atlanta making the playoffs. tampa bay is the more probable scenario

It wasn't really close except for that fluke onside kick
Keep in mind that this is a divisional game, and they're always tough no matter who's doing better in any given year. The Bears had their backs to the wall and responded.

NFL should implement conference standing as the NBA, best record overall no matter the division
1 lions 2 bills 3 eagles 4 ravens 5 Vikings
Chiefs almost lost to the 2nd worst team panthers and the refs saved them. Again. 😅😅
Why would mainstream media get behind the Vikings when their own fanbase can’t collectively get behind Darnold for a year?
We might be one of the only teams to miss the playoffs with 12+ wins. The NFC North is stacked and the Lions and Packers don't seem to be slowing down any time soon.

Cowherd.. florio.. rank.. warner...clark.. they all talk smack about the Vikings and never ever say anything about us being legitimate contenders

did he say bla bla bla and the vikes should bla bla bla no pass defense big problem
I don't see the Vikings beating the Eagles or Lions in the playoffs. And I haven't seen a potent offense almost the entire season. Inconsistent maybe
