Vikings Fail To Reach 40 Minutes TOP Again

Kyler 24/30 229yds, 1 td, 51 yards rushing, 109 passer rating. The fraudulence continues!! 😋

Free drinks to whoever reminded Kyler he can use his legs at halftime. I was impressed with the team big time today in the second half. First half was more of the same-- Defense and Reichard. Which God bless em. But Jefferson being back was gigantic and Murray had his best game in purple for sure. Exciting times heading into the Bye Week

Without the fumbles we easily put up 30.

Lots to clean up but Kyler finding his legs adds a dimension. 3 first downs curtesy of Murray.

Hock going out immediately was concerning seeing the bond that was forming. 10 different receivers catching balls.

D was again stellar. Game warn jerseys should be sold at a premium as they were barely used on D.

Bye comes at a bad time as the O has been on an upswing. Vikings open as a 10 favorite vs the bye.

I don't like the early bye but OTOH we have a buncha injured guys, let's get them healthy and then it's time to face the Colts who often give us fits. Let's get the purple SB train rolling homeboys!

We still have a ways to go but I'm breathing a lot easier right now than I was before the game. Murray can play better and I think he will when Darrisaw and Addison return, but I was very happy with his performance today.

Murray was certainly more efficient today and this was the first time his legs and scrambling ability were a big factor. We needed that with all the injuries on offense. Still not convinced Murray is a significantly better option than Wentz in this offense, but as long as we continue to stack wins and Murray continues to progress...all good. Keep it going.

Kyler using his abilities is the best thing about this game. It should open up the play action much more.

Steady improvement peaking in February.

So, pretty good, huh?

Absolute dominance today. As stated, without this 2 fumbles, it was a blowout.

Saints found a bit of success stopping us for a bit, but then KM used his legs.

What excites me most is, there is still a lot of meat on the bone. I expect steady improvement peaking in the playoffs. If they stay healthy it isn't hard to envision.

If Kyler can just continue to improve than we have something.

Remember what KOC said..."with average QB play we are a playoff team"

This Bye is coming at just the right time for this 5-0 team IMO. And then the Colts at home. So much time for the team to rest up.

KOC was giddy after the win, did you see his little giggle and jump in the air out of the stadium. 😂 He's seeing the ascension of Murray now, I take off the quote marks because its happening finally. Nobody can say that Murray isn't getting more comfortable, he is big time. KOC is speaking very confidently post game now, like we'll be 'a tough team for anyone to beat'. He says that because he believes it. His choice to move on from JJM and sign Murray is working....and its only going to get better. If you aren't enjoying this ride right now in this moment and time, may as well get off the merry go round. This was the game for me to see the vision and I can, although there's still work to do....which is pretty cool actually.

Very happy they cleaned up the penalties as well. That really held them back the last two weeks.

I have been on the train since week 1. Climb aboard, plenty of room still.

All without....

#1 RB

#1 TE

#1 LT

#1 LG (Props to Huber. Been playing phenomenal)

#2 WR

Bye week and then Indy to sharpen up the offense a little more with everyone on the field. I feel like KOC started gearing the offense around his QB finally. Less snaps under center giving better vision to Murray and also better scrambling vision and time to react from the shotgun position.

A bit giddy right now. As usual the "Hopium" has started but this isn't my 1st time being a Vikings fan. As soon as there is a ray of light something happens.
