Am I reading right where Tricky Ricky would pay Kwesi-Adofo-Mensah and Vikings are going cheap looks like bye bye Justin Jefferson
Vikings only with 41 yards on the ground, 7 by Cousins, is not nearly good enough. That must improve ASAP, said Captain Obvious. The Vikings only attempted to run the ball 17 times out of 64 offensive snaps. Seemed like every run attempt they tried the Buccaneers were in an 8 man box, which is very effective towards the run. I didnt see hardly any screens to the TE or anyone out of the backfield, maybe a little more creativity on offense will keep the defenses a bit more honest. Cousins had real nice numbers, that INT was critical, but none the less he played very well for his first game action. Defense looked much better. Hopefully they can click on offense next week and right the ship. Maybe they ought to keep a close watch out for a Kareem Hunt type out there.
Things get tougher for Minnesota too. On short rest, they play Thursday night in Philadelphia. Prime Time for Cousins? OY
I'm starting to wonder is it time to fire Kwesi-Adofo-Mensah does this guy want to win, it never changes it's the same old game every year be careful what you wish for you might end with something worse man I thought Tricky Ricky was bad I was wrong Kwesi-Adofo-Mensah is a nightmare cause you never know what he will do Kwesi-Adofo-Mensah I do not TRUST!
Game 1, 34 yards rushing by the RB's, Game 2, 28 yards rushing... does it take a genius to figure out this is all sorts of F'd up? What in hell is wrong with Kwesi? What in hell is wrong with Wes Phillips? Do something now, trade, beg borrow or steal, just do something! Absolutely unacceptable! Hell, even I could do that with my crippled crooked legs, wtf!?!? Im venting.
Udoh and Darrisaw down with injuries and still no Bradbury. The Vikings have no offensive line. Try to win in the NFL with depleted trenches... It doesnt and wont work. Defense gave up 259 on the ground too.
KOC, today... “You lose the turnover battle 4-1, with all four of them being fumbles, 7-1 in turnovers in three games and we’ve lost by a combined nine points to two playoff teams from a year ago,” O’Connell said. “Clearly, I’ve got to coach it better from the standpoint of something we talk about every single day. Ball security is a major, major focus in our football philosophy, but clearly, I need to do a better job, and our staff, we’ve got to go back and continue to find ways to re-emphasize how important it is when you have the football in your hands, playing for the Minnesota Vikings. We’re really not giving ourselves clean opportunities to win these games the way we’ve started. I’ve got to do a better job.”
I don't know what it will take for Kwesi-Adofo-Mensah to wake the hell up èver since he became the GM it's been a mess sometimes I wonder does he have the Vikings best interest to be the best they can be can't he see.the O-line and the D--line needs help and yet he does nothing no fixing the O-line or D-line and what the hell is going on with Justin Jefferson Kwesi-Adofo-Mensah is not a football GM he might have football people around him BUT HE'S NOT AN NFL GM
KOC enough of the talk show us you tighten up the ship and plugged the holes stop with the damn turnovers
Vikings tackle Oli Udoh’s season is over. Head coach Kevin O’Connell said on Friday that the quad injury that Udoh suffered in Thursday night’s loss against the Eagles will end his season. The injury occurred in the fourth quarter of the game. Udoh started at left tackle on Thursday because Christian Darrisaw was a late scratch due to an ankle injury. David Quessenberry replaced Udoh after the injury. Udoh was a 2019 sixth-round pick in Minnesota and he has appeared in 43 games. Thursday night’s game was his 18th career start. With their depth compromised, Darrisaw’s health will be even more significant as the Vikings try to avoid an 0-3 start against the Chargers. PFT
The BS Mattison has endured since the Eagles game from people on and from social media is a disgrace and sickens me. These ass-holes are not Vikings fans, they are evil and they are fake and deserve to have their skulls smashed, period.
Kevin O’Connell sees “some encouraging things” about 0-2 Vikings The Vikings are, at the moment, all alone at the bottom of the NFL standings, as the only 0-2 team in the league. But Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell says he sees plenty of things to be optimistic about. O’Connell praised quarterback Kirk Cousins for the way he has played so far this season, and he said that the Vikings being competitive to the end of both their games despite being minus-3 in turnover margin in both games tells them that if they can fix the fumbling problem, they’re going to be in good shape. “Although the results these first two weeks have not gone our way, I do think that there’s some encouraging things about our team right now from a standpoint of certain aspects of how we’re playing, whether it be Kirk’s performance last night, the way our pass game continues to keep us in football games, despite a lot of things that negatively affect us as far as turning the football over with the fumbling issue,” O’Connell said. “Our team’s fight to be an onside kick away from having a chance to win that game in a very, very tough place to go win on a short week. But there is, no doubt, some major, major areas of improvement from a standpoint of ball security. You just can’t be minus-6 after two games in the turnover differential. It goes against everything we do believe with our football philosophy, and we’re already in the process of finding new and hopefully more results-based ways of getting back to the basics of drilling and techniques and fundamentals of every rep we take to make sure ball security becomes a premium.” The fumbles were a huge problem for the Vikings on Thursday night. They fumbled four times, with three recovered by the Eagles and one going out of bounds in the end zone, giving the ball to the Eagles on a play when Justin Jefferson was less than a yard from scoring a touchdown before he dropped the ball. The Eagles fumbled once, but they recovered their own fumble. Ball security is obviously a problem for the Vikings right now, but so is bad luck: The ball kept bouncing the Eagles’ way after it was fumbled. Bad luck on fumbles tends to even out over the course of a long season, and O’Connell believes the Vikings are doing a lot of things right if they can catch some good luck. “I still believe in this team,” O’Connell said. “I believe in our players more than ever. I believe in our coaches.” At 0-2, the Vikings don’t have much margin for error the rest of the way, but O’Connell thinks they’ll prove over the next 15 games what kind of team they are. NBC
I heard about this hate Mattison is getting from bandwagon fan's you have a so so O-line I think he's doing ok for not having good blocking
About time what took so long is he the answer to O-line problems no he's not but it's a good start i know the Captain is happy my feet have been rescued now make a move to get a D-lineman ìn the draft but I do feel better cause the Ɓears Lions Packers lost anyway GO VIKINGS
Kwesi-Adofo-Mensah this guy better not even think about trading JJ don't know if my heart can take it I've been though one heartbreak with Randy Moss I remember going to bed waking up to the shock of my life he's a member of the Raiders...not kidding I'm really scared òf Kwesi-Adofo-Mensah cause you just don't know what kind of a crazy moves he will make
Good ol 'Moss and Carter at WR, Culpeper at QB... I'll never forget that team. Maybe one of the all-time greatest teams to never win a Super Bowl... at least one of the all-time greatest WR combos. "This was the easiest decision when ranking the great wide receiver duos. The 1998 Vikings were 15-1 and rolled over opponents because Carter (12 TDs) and Moss (17 TDs) were destroying defenses. They combined for 24 touchdowns in each of their next two seasons, as well." In eight seasons as a member of the Minnesota Vikings, Moss appeared in 113 regular-season games with 108 starts. 587 receptions for 9,316 yards and 92 TDs were the result. Not to be outdone, Carter played in Vikings purple for 12 seasons (188 regular-season games with 177 starts) and collected 1,004 receptions, 12,383 receiving yards, and 110 receiving TDs. _________ ____________________ Vikings now have, Jefferson and Addison. If I were the owner, Id shove a picture with those stats in a few peoples faces and say; No way in hell is JJ going anywhere, period!
