Is that a dirty little secret between you and Donatell? Maybe you mean holding the toothless Bears in a meaningless game to 13 points. We gave up 41 - 24 - 36 -34 in the four games before that. Maybe 'points against' are not a good indicator. Maybe you mean 'not being last in team defense anymore' (we've improved from 32 to 28 ... unfortunately still worst of all the playoff teams) https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2022/opp.htm

If the defense doesn't shine Sunday and the Vikings lose, the only "shiny" head of Donatell should be hitting the road.

The experts split on the Vikings game this week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYG_07jEER0

I think Vikes handle their business tomorrow. After that, all bets are off.

The more SF wins by this week, the more amazing it will seem when the Vikings upset them next week.

Todd M -> RE: General Vikes Talk (1/14/2023 6:28:44 PM)
Not feeling very good about things. Maybe we get 1 week to feel good about things before it all comes crashing down. Maybe.

Todd M -> RE: General Vikes Talk (1/14/2023 6:32:21 PM)
You do have to question how he was a 7th rounder in a very weak QB class. Some of it's luck. Right system, opportunity.

Ricky J -> RE: General Vikes Talk (1/14/2023 6:36:38 PM)
Too bad Detroit didn't get an opportunity ....

He sticks the team with talent and then plucks Purdy Lance will likely be available next year at a very cheap price If they’re gonna bring in Rosen, why not give San Fran a 4th rounder for Lance?

If Purdy is as good as everybody wants to believe he is (and I don't doubt it, jtbc) all 32 GMs suck at their job with regards to evaluating him, imo.

Most interesting post you'll read today. I guarantee it! I'm providing a link so you can read the 4 paragraph pic "snippet" of the play calls that I cannot cut and paste. Ben Goessling @BenGoessling ·4h Really grateful to Kevin O’Connell, Kirk Cousins, Nick Mullens, Adam Thielen, Justin Jefferson and others for providing this level of insight for my look inside the #Vikings' offense today. https://bit.ly/3WbE5Ge see rest of it: https://twitter.com/BenGoessling/status/1614375217920344064?s=20&t=8WqGHquy9GEDqowSaxLS3g

Very true. KR and Pick 6 in the Packers game and Blocked Punt and Pick 6 in the Colts game. Does it matter? At all?

Here is the Purdy the Vikings need to bring out next week: https://youtu.be/osa1SiwG-B4 (After getting by the Giants)

Chargers DC looks like a poor man's Donashell.

Bill Jandro -> RE: General Vikes Talk (1/15/2023 7:20:29 AM)
All this talk about how great a qb Justin Herbert is. He has just as many playoff victories as I do.
