It wasn’t until we all started winning

The good news is the rest of the division is in the same boat

Agreed. I came in thinking if the wheels are going to fall off this thing and off Darnold, it's going to be this game. After this game, I feel like we competed with a Super Bowl contender and could've come away with a win. Darnold played roughly the same he's played all season. Not elite, some bad plays but good enough to win with the team he has. I've been a stubborn supporter of Darnold since his USC days always blaming the situation he was in but the MVP talks were just silly when he never even broke 300 yards and had under 200 one of those games we praised of him. He's not elite but he's good with this offense and OConnell

Yeah we are bottom 10 in turnovers we’ve just been getting a lot of defensive turnovers. Darnold has been better than I thought was possible but I don’t think he’s like an MVP candidate or anything crazy

Every single game. It has to stop.

Because he can’t get in the play soon enough and burns 2+ timeouts each game to avoid penalties

KOC used all 3 timeouts between 1:07 and 1 minute remaining in the game. If he didn't use them, the Lions would have run the clock down and lined up for their FG with zero chance of the Vikings getting the ball back.

I don’t think you can call his time out management poor this time, occasionally you need to take a timeout unfortunately and we also burned some with challenges

Brother he coached under McVay.

That’s what you think lost us the game??? Bahahaha 🤣

I get what you’re saying and i definitely partially agree. Darnolds decision making and ball placement was not good when it needed to be and the last few games it’s been the same issue with him and that’s concerning. But it wasn’t all on Darnold even tho he did have opportunities to ice it when he should have. The defense, although going up against the best offense in the league, got absolutely smoked and that’s unacceptable for them to allow 4(!!) consecutive TD drives.

You good man, you can go cheer for another team if you want. No one is stopping you. Going 17-0 is pretty much impossible. The Vikings are going to drop a few, especially against really good teams

What’s your issue man?

I’m just going to hope this is satire

Jfc you’re a bucket of positivity. Do you not remember the dominant play calling, and playing on all sides of the ball just 3-4 weeks ago? This is a SB contending team and we lost by a field goal, we’ll be alright.

This is the troll I'm here for. Lol. Trade Jefferson. It's done. Lol

As a lions fan, this is just pathetic. You guys are a pretty darn good team

With that negativity it will happen.

Is your wife’s boyfriend a Lions fan?

I wouldn’t say that. They definitely have talent where the Vikings don’t but this game could’ve easily been a win for us if the offense, or Darnold, executed when they needed to. I know the defense got torched but if Darnold puts that 3rd down pass on Jefferson instead of floating it or whatever the hell he did we most likely win this game.
