Game opened with the Vikings at -6 but since the Colts benched Richardson it's moved a couple points closer. That's Viking luck for ya. Get the Rams on the first day back for both Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp and get the Colts right after they give up on AR.

If there is any legitimacy to the 24 squad, they "should" be able to go .500 out of the next 6. They better find their road warrior pants:

Indy
At Jax
At Tenn
At Chicago
Cardinals
Falcons

That would be 8/5 heading into the final 4 (where it gets more difficult). 9/4 heading into this final stretch sounds even better:
At Seattle
Chicago
GB
At Detroit

No excuses, win games or lose them determines what you are as a team. 5-2 currently. This should be a win quite honestly: at home against a beatable team. Won't be a cake walk, Indy won't be a pushover.

I think this game needs to be looked at as a barometer of what they should do prior to the trade deadline, a loss this week, making it 3 in a row, says things in the 0-5 start were likely more mirage than reality and the focus should shift from that of playoff focused to 2025 and beyond focused. Look for pieces to move that you can get more value from now, vs hoping the compensatory fairy sprinkles a few picks on us. We dont have many tradeable assets on the roster, but if they dont fit the puzzle for the next couple years... Sell baby sell.

I like the Vikings to do better than .500 over the next 6, but I don't like the Colts game one bit. I like how we match up in the next five though. I think the Lions schedule gets a little tougher down the stretch too. They still have Texans, Colts, Packers, Vikings, Bills and 49ers. Wouldn't surprise me too much if the Packers ended up winning the division.

I don't feel great about this game either but I'd like to see our offense run the ball and find a way to get a second passcatcher like Addison or Hockenson much more involved.

On defense-- man. Try not to get completely cooked for the third game in a row.

Im ready for a new fucking Center. This is enough already of no push, getting his ass run over, and slow to the help.... GB is a good athlete, but as an offensive lineman he just doesnt get the job done to often.

And likely won't unless we make them 1 dimensional and he has to stand in there amd hold the ball.

And there it was again with our IOL.

Lol this couldn't be a worse first half. Darnold reverting back to Darnold on the INT. Interior of our offensive line being pushed around..again. Reichert doing his best Blair Walsh impersonation, and the list goes on. We look like total dog shit

Darnold is Darnold again
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?
