Always remember....Vikings only team to start 5-0 and miss the playoffs.

From what I heard before the game from Paul Allen....the Vikings have Super Bowl aspirations.

I’m gonna drift off to sleep tonight thinking of Paul Allen grinding over how mad he’s going be all weekend on that 4 hr flight home because a LB KNEW he grabbed mask and didn’t get called. It’s glorious and fuck Minny.

If they only played the Super Bowl the first week of October…

If you go back to the early 90s there’s probably about 10 seasons where Minnesota has started strong and fizzled out.

Not sure if that’s the same situation this year, but does anyone think a Sam Darnold team is capable of great things?  I don’t.  

I also don’t think that defense is as good as advertised especially on the back end.

If I had to guess the Vikings may end up a fringe playoff team which I’m sure many of their fans would gladly accept.  

I felt things were going to go the Rams way, after they held the vikings to a FG, in the 3rd Quarter. Time to put the icing on the cake and move ahead of these posers, in the standings, on Sunday! GO PACK, GO!!!

Glad we got to play the Rams without Nacua. He is a weapon.

Kupp does not look as good.

Kupp is their version of Jordy Nelson. He's as solid as they come. I read he might not play tonight. I'm very glad that he did.

The history of failure is there.  I also feel their D isn't as great as advertised.

I think that's why Flores does all the pre-snap games at the LOS - to cover up the warts in the secondary.

The Vikings should be credited for piecing together a semi decent roster but some of their adds weren’t exactly game changers and I would worry about their speed and athleticism on D.  

Against a good QB that has time to throw that team will get exposed.  

Plus, as good as Flores and his schemes may be, other coaches are pretty good as well and watch tape.  

Through the first month or so Minnesota snuck up on teams but not so much anymore.

That’s per Ian Rap, awful, and an injury that didn’t need to happen

That's 100% on the head coach for calling that ridiculous handoff at your own 2 yard line with seconds left to play in the half.

I didn’t see the game, why wasn’t that either called at the time or reviewed?  Looked blatant to me and a ref was feet away?

The umpire and the ref both said they were blocked on the play and didn't see it. Also face mask penalties are not reviewable.  Too bad, so sad.
