Honest feelings.
There is no way, up to this point, you can watch this defense and not assess that they’re the real thing.

And

The offense is absolutely horrific. We just threw (an unsuccessful) WR screen on 3rd as 17 because we have a QB that can’t throw the ball over 10 yards

Has anyone missed Jonathan Grennard? He was great, but Dallas Turner, my goodness.

Officially 2.5 sacks in the first half for Andrew Van Ginkel.

Current blitz rate: 88%. The Vikings have blitzed Jared Goff on 14 of 16 dropbacks so far, per ESPN Research. https://t.co/52VYt5TXEu

Brian branch back at it trying to hurt people. He was successful this time. Just got the wrong guy.

Kill murray that cocksucker

Get Kyler Murray off this fucking team

There’s no easy fix for this in November. This is BAD.

That int was the kiss of death. Just can't do thatt. This season seems meaningless at this point

Brian O'Neill is now sitting on the bench. https://t.co/2WOmlCDZDc

I mean, im not JJM apologist but what would this board do if he was doing this wk in and week out?

I am completely shocked that this offense looks this way.

Penei Sewell is having his worst game of his career. Best in the business but struggling massively against this front

2 false starts
1 holding

In the first half #SKOL

What happened to TJ Hockenson being the safety net in the passing game for Kyler?

If you had told me the Vikings' offense would have 7 points at halftime today, I would have guessed they would be trailing. But the Vikings defense has the Lions in the same blender as the rest of their opponents. 90% blitz rate. 4 sacks.

Vikings 7, Lions 6. HALF
