Not Too Shabby

Nearly 40 minutes of TOP.

Murray sucked out loud today but I’m glad he dinked and dunked his way to some stats just in time to save the game for us. He and Hock and Jones stepped up. Maybe we’re turning a corner or at least peeking around one with the thought of turning it in the future.

Been years since I seen that lumbering sack of potatoes catch 10+ balls in a game. The big lug came through today when we badly needed him. Salute.

BFlo and the defense I love you.

Jefferson, Mason, Thorson (?) after the bye and maybe we’ll even score a touchdown.

Oh you betcha.

2nd half, Murray finally looking better/average. He threw some nice balls today/ no ints/fumbles. Sacks were on OL.

27/37 250 no TO’s 91 rating.

That QB rating/play puts us in the playoffs, esp as noted with getting Jj/Mason back.

Was it me or did it seem like O'Neil got his ass kicked all day?

Nope, he was a turnstile.

It was the Dolphins. Worst team in the league. Yeah, great leader. Hardly beat the absolute worst team in the league.

I hate the happy feet! Also, he looks like a middle school kid running around.

Big enough in the 4th quarter. 😂

Did somebody make an adjustment?

Gee - Now I feel MUCH better

Glad I missed this game due to travel. Sounds like it was the equivalent of being lobotomized. Does anyone know the status of Darrisaw or Jackson? Serious injury or not?

It's the unhappiest 4-0 fanbase in history lol.

Personally I'm having a good time, even when we're winning ugly. I said after Tampa that KM needed a few weeks to settle in and I think today was a step. He's never gonna stand tall (no shit) in the pocket chucking deep balls all day for whatever this stuff Kevin O'Genius thinks he's calling an offense is.

Movement, finding open guys the way he found Hock today in the short to intermediate game, being accurate and protecting the football, that's his game and even the full of his own 💩 HC is going to figure it out, he will have to in order to avoid embarrassment if nothing else.

I will close with a quote from the noted football philosopher Al Davis: "Just win, baby!"

He played better late for sure as I mentioned in another thread. The home crowd was booing the offense SO much most of the game, crazy stuff. I'll focus on the positives and the run game is certainly one of those. And keep in mind: if TJ doesn't do the very smart thing and lay down before the goal line, Murray would have had a TD pass on this stats as well. Game would have felt a little different to some fans with a 22-10 ending, which for all intents and purposes it was.

Still left as a fan not exactly sure what kind of team it is. But damn if 4-0 doesn't look great. 👍

I dont blame Viking fans for being impatient with the QB's. But most of Viking nation was impatient with #15 too, so you go figure it out.

Is K1 starting to round into shape? Hope I saw some of that by q4 yesterday

• I think KOC needs to tailor the offense more

• TJH is finally getting the balls he deserves, should continue to eat well with K1

I'd like to see the offense with Jettas and Mason both back

Not sure if we go into Nola with a left side of the OL intact or not? Probably not is my guess

Kyler Murray threw for more yards this week than Patrick Mahomes, Trevor Lawrence, Brock Purdy, Sam Darnold, and Jalen Hurts.

Without Justin Jefferson. With his offensive line getting banged up. And without turning the football over.

He delivered when the Vikings needed him… pic.twitter.com/Ef2xO5cVdJ

97% of us wanted Sam Darnold out of town, so you can count on us for objective reasoning. Seems half the board doesn't like our 47-25 Head Coach.

This offense is going to be fine, Murray was pretty good yesterday, that seam throw to Hock over the LB's head was a thing of beauty. Great to see Murray and Hock start rolling, just makes me think we can be "Dangerous in December".
