This low point in the season, feels similar to the end of the 3rd quarter against the Bears.

Along came JJ McCarthy, with an electric 4th quarter.

Now if we can either convince McCarthy it doesn't matter what the opposing teams secondary looks like, or if we can get every opponent to field a similar, injury ravaged 2ndary as what we saw against the Bears. ......

Best offseason addition: RB Jordan Mason

Acquired via trade from the 49ers, Mason has proved to be a powerful and resourceful runner. He is averaging 2.02 yards after contact per carry, part of the reason his first-down rate is 28.4%, which is 11th best in the NFL and by far the highest for a Vikings running back since coach Kevin O'Connell arrived in 2022. Mason's four rushing touchdowns might seem modest, but they are only one short of what Aaron Jones Sr. produced in all of 2024. -- Kevin Seifert


There hasn't been a full game yet where KOC has leaned on the Running Game....closest is the 2nd half against the Bears and also the Cincy game for a half.


That's what happens when you're playing from behind.


He doesn't focus on the run early in games.....he passes to run.

Wentz should sue the Vikes (KOC) for not taking him out of the game. Now he needs surgery and his season is over.


You say a lot of dumb things on the Vikings thread.

This one is way up there.

Just know that if Zimmer had handled it the same way, he would have been called a neanderthal. You know it. We all know it.



wentz himself said they all knew he needed surgery after the browns game... just figured he'd have it after the season was over...

o'connell telegraphs the run/pass...he has the highest percentage in the league of passing on 2nd/3rd/4th down and 2 yards or less....

moving forward from here is a test for o'connell - has he learned it's necessary to call a game plan his young quarterback can manage?...i hope so, but he has yet to show that he's willing to scheme an offense that will help mccarthy get up to speed....

That doesn’t excuse the beat down.

I respect Wentz for being a team player but needing surgery before the Chargers game … vs the ultra-pampering JJ has gotten for a high ankle sprain … is ludicrous.

Seems neither situation is up to the player … nor apparently the team doctor mainly. One is disposable and served his purpose, the other has been given all known time and space to get 150% healthy before being put back in harms way. JJ’s not only a savior for this regime, its like they’re grooming him to colonize a new planet and rescue our species.



Bill Jandro -> RE: General Vikes Talkk (10/29/2025 10:42:17 PM)

O'Connell clearly rode Wentz like he was a human trafficker while he has treated JJM like a new born prince.
