    All of the talking heads on the radio the last few days are all saying the Vikes get their Azzes handed to them tonight. moon

    Did they forget how the Vikes play? Lose games they should win and win games they should lose? whistling

    Just sayin….

    Gim how old is your TV? That maybe what’s giving you an issue.

    I aint even talking about watching it on a smart TV. I tried watching it on a laptop and a tablet multiple times last season. Gave up by about week 5.

    Are those devices connected to the router via ethernet or wifi? You should do a speed test on your internet. SOmething isnt right. Even if you have fiber there could be something that is bogging it down.

    I have the same issues as gimruis. This is something that should just work and is doesn’t !

    I tried watching I think it was Packers and Lions last year. After about 5 minutes turned the tv off.

    Because Baker scored 10 points in the second half, which would have been 6 points if they didn’t call that lined up in the neutral zone call on the FG (which often gets a warning first at least). If anything it reflects poorly on Baker and their offense.

    Don’t forget that they limited the vikes to less than ten minutes of possession in second half. Which had more impact than the ten points IMO.

    The Bucs amassed 242 yards of total offense which puts them towards the bottom for week 1. I think Baker should just keep his mouth shut and suck silently rather than be obnoxious AND terrible. I don’t think Trask is the answer in Tampa Bay, but wouldn’t be shocked to see him get a shot by mid season.

    …or maybe the Vikings defense is good?

    Time will tell.

    If their O line wasn’t so banged up I think the Vikes have as good a chance to beat the Eagles as they have in a while. The Eagles are missing their top running back, middle linebacker, starting CB and safety. If they can keep Cousins from getting killed they have a decent shot.

    That doesn’t mean I’m very confident though because our interior O line is garbage even when healthy.

    I think the Vikings have very little chance to win in Philly. Hope I’m wrong but doubt it.

    It’s not the line it’s there coach.

    Haha I mentioned in a friends group chat that I wish I could see a map of all the Minnesotans that just turned off their TV and went to bed.

    If they win one (1) playoff game this year I say us IDOers organize a grassroots victory parade.

    Do playoffs really mean any thing… Viking fans need to start to hold the coaching staff accountable it’s not the players!

    Its not the coaches fault the players can’t hold onto the ball… I look at Kwesi’s 2 terrible drafts as an anchor on this team (besides Addison) zero help from draft picks… our best signing is an undrafted undersized linebacker who’s beating the odds…

    I think it’s going to be a close game (IF) the Vikings can protect on the interior. If they let the inside of that Eagles front eat, it’s going to be a long night for Cousins. If they sure some things up or even go max protect and get some play action stuff going on early downs…the Eagles are susceptible. At times last week Mac Jones and the Patriots garage sale of receivers were chunking them.

    Give me Eagles by 4, in a game that was close the whole way.

    I had Eagles by 4, ended up being 6.

    Kirk was able to gash them in spots when protected with 364 and 4TDs as I predicted. That Eagles defense isn’t exactly what it was last year, and the Vikings showed up for the most part other than with the fumbles. They’re going to have to address both lines. The front 7 on that defense got handled as did their o line whenever they went empty personnel.

    My early line on Chargers Vikings is Vikes by 7. The Chargers defense is bad and they’ll be on the road against a hungry 0-2 team.

    Patchwork JV o-line and 3rd & 4th string CB’s aren’t going to win you very many games… all that said, we gave the game away another week with turnovers…

    That was a very winnable game. I’ve been a vikings fan for about 15 years when I moved to this state. I don’t know how you guys have been getting jabbed in the eye with sticks every Sunday your whole lives……

    Udoh getting hurt made the offensive line BETTER. I can’t believe that guy is still on roster.

    I look at Kwesi’s 2 terrible drafts as an anchor on this team (besides Addison) zero help from draft picks…

    Nailed it. They’ve gotten Jefferson, O’Niell and Derrisaw and that’s about the only good picks they’ve made over the past 5 drafts. I’m guessing after this season is over we’ll be able to add Addison to the list as well.
