Aaron Jones looks old to me
Bradbury should never play another snap for the Vikings
Is Flores a “Genius”? One guy goes missing in the defense and they can’t get to the QB. Sure they haven’t scored, but Flacco is old and nobody has been within 10’ of him.
WTF happened to Will the Thrill. 2 misses on easy Enough FG’s
Quick throws need to be called, and stop running screens to Jones
Ingram is not good
Wasn’t expecting much this year, but why set us up with those early wins?
First miss was 50+ they happen.

Amd apparently hes dealing with something.

Dealing with?
I’m watching the Peacock broadcast and listening to PA on the radio.
BTW, WTF is Darnold thinking? Throw the ball and stop waiting to get sacked!

Hes got something going on with his right hammy or quad. Wrapping it and adding heat when not on the field.

Defense won the game. Sure were a lot of doubters and I was one of them when the offense was sputtering around. This team may not be as good as I thought they were, but they sure have the talent and potential to beat any team. Pretty good coaching in this game.
I also want to give a big shout out to our new left tackle. Very nice job.

Still pissed about that td when Darnold got hit in the face. Kudos to the defense. Turner made some nice plays. Jefferson and Addison made plays. I liked using both Akers and Jones. Lord have mercy Darnold had some rough moments. The first half was brutal

Well.....I guess it's finally put to rest about Darnold. He's always going to have certain tendencies. So glad we got McCarthy, especially after watching college ball yesterday and the crew that's upcoming in next year's Draft. Hate to see Will the Thrill have a game like that, time to get his hair cut. I've noticed that even his makes were leaning toward the right part of the upright.
Don't have the best taste in my mouth after this win, it definitely wasn't as close as the final score. But its a W. Defense improved in play, no doubt.
RE: Colts @ Vikings - The ghost formerly known as PG - 11-04-2024
It feels like the absence of Cashman is a pretty big issue. He had the green dot and was our leading tackler. Haven’t heard anything substantial on when he’ll be back.
As far as the offense goes, the sputtering going on is maddening. We played some damn good defenses during the win streak and handled them. What changed? We even got TJ back now. Darnold threw 2 atrocious INTs. He is seeing some ghosts now. I hate his give up throws at the feet of the nearest receiver when he’s escaping pressure.
I’m certainly not checking out on the season but I can definitely say I’m looking forward to 2025 and JJ as our QB.

This. IMO, this was the most important game of the year so far and the Vikings won it in convincing fashion. Vikings offense played well. 415 yards and a ridiculous 29 1st downs. Darnold was 28 of 34 and threw 3 TDs. He had his share of boneheadeds, but they were largely inconsequential because the defense showed up big.
48 yards for Taylor (his season low)
6 points (season low for the Colts)
0 red zone drives (season low)
13 first downs (season low)
227 yards (season low)
-0.35 EPA/play (season low)
2 turnovers
4/13 on 3rd + 4th down
4.6 yards/play
23:06 time of possession

Yep, just read he's injured. It bothered him all week and then he made it worse kicking last night.
