Crazy that this was the most points scored by the Vikings this season considering all the offensive talent.

Great win, but I am not sold on either coach, KOC's play calling and game management is still questionable and the last drive made us forget that the defense got completely run over with 12 runs in a row all the way down the field for the potential winning TD. Not sure how Flores makes no adjustments there. We gave up 28 to Heinke and not a great offense, not a Flores fan.
The defense with virtually the same players got run over every drive last year. Imagine what theyed look like with a few studs.
How you going to afford those studs if you keep Cousins? ( please don't say push more cap hits down the road )

Atlanta should be embarrassed by what we did today.
The Vikings coaching staff is elite. You don’t get “lucky” as often as we have without a team and a culture that has wholey bought into what they’re doing.
Dobbs made some great plays today, but our defense allowed us to stay in the game. A defense that was a major liability last year.
Get a rookie QB in to sit behind Cousins and get ready for a great ride. I’m convinced KOC is the coach to finally bring a SB to MN.
LOL. That was my lasting impression after the game too. How bad do the Falcons have to be to get beaten at home by a team without Cousins, Hall, JJ, KJO, Darrisaw and Davenport??

Coaching is getting better. . . but why do we need to keep Cousins? Give me a rookie with this staff and a better defensive line. There is a lot of talent on this team to elevate a young QB
We’re going to play ourselves out of drafting Williams, Maye & Mccarthy and Penix is a big injury risk.
Im not sure any are ready to lead a high octane offense in 24.
After USC's slide this season (and after Williams' meltdown on Saturday), I would not pick him in the third round even. Maye overrated. Penix or Bo Nix (Oregon) maybe. Either way, the grass may not be greener on the other side of the fence...Hall and Dobbs may be the answer...check back with me in two months.

Yeah, the shine really starts to wear off these QB messiahs under more time and scrutiny. How they eventually go off the board will likely be completely different than how they're currently ranked.
Dobbs isn't the answer, but Hall might be. The team is going to have to find out what they have in Hall before the end of the season. And unfortunately we weren't able to see enough of him to say one way or the other.

LOL! So passing for 300+ yards with 3 TDs and no picks and scoring 42 points while only having limited possessions cause you were on the short end of a 35-25 time of possession cause you defense is so bad, that is a melt down? He was the consensus 2024 #1 pick in 2022 and today there has not been a player since Payton Manning who is more of a sure thing to go #1 and be a NFL star. How about actually watching him play. I have watched every snap he has had at USC and especially Saturday all I can think of when I watch him is Patrick Mahomes, the only other player I have seen who can do what Mahomes does. Big time talent.

How do we know they're not already on the team? The 49ers turned some very average looking guys into great players. Maybe we'll catch some lightening in the bottle.
