    BTW, Daniel Jeremiah picked the Vikings to win each of the first 5 games so far. In each year KOC has addressed the previous year’s inefficiencies. Coming in it was QB relationship, after the 1st year it was the defense, after last year’s slow start it was being prepared from day one of training camp and minute one of each game. It’s the second year of the Flores defense so that side of the ball was obviously going to be better, especially after the acquisition of “his” guys. The Vikings were overlooked for one simple reason … Sam Darnold. People didn’t give enough credit to Kyle and then Kevin’s choosing to develop Sam.

    The last 6 quarters have been poop on offense. The only thing that's different, is the LACK of rushing in these quarters. Jones isn't going to be reliable enough because of frequent injuries. They've got something special this yr, but darnold throwing 40 times a game to make up for no running game is a recipe for a 1st rd blowout. And what else could they do if no steady run game is available? If they are gonna try and trade for someone before the deadline, it better be a rb, and not a backup level back. Being able to slow drive, eats clock, gives the d a break, and breaks the opponents spirit. And it's how they owned the previous 4 games.
    Rb is no1 need, for this offense.

Mobility and complexion are their ONLY commonalities.

That means that 2025 1st rounder was meant to be traded so can we see that pick still be traded but at trade deadline for a player? If you think you have QB figured out then the next step is to get crazy with your poker chips and at 5-0 it sure like time to go full Rams!!!

    I still don't buy it. These second half collapses are indicative of a team thats not as good as they seem. Almost every year there's teams that start off hot and then struggle down the stretch. If Darnold plays well vs the Lions and actually has a dominant game with 300 plus yards and carries us to a victory and we win because of him then ill open my heart to believing. Until then I'll be a sceptic.
