All Things 2024-25 Vikings Regular Season Thread

5-0 at the bye, wow!!

Offense was awful without Jones, hope he's fine. Darnold looked like Darnold pre Skol, but hopefully we can work on that over the next two weeks.

The defense is fantastic as is our rookie kicker!

SKOL VIKES!!
 





Is it crazy to think that the top 4 teams in the NFC are all in the north?

I'm about ready to make that case.

Washington and SF are certainly better than the Bears and right there with the other 3 IMO.

San Fran lost again today and is 2-3. they look like schit.

Washington is a maybe. They sure are putting up the points.

That was ugly but shouldn’t apologize for 5-0. Bye week coming, figure things out and keep winning.

We all should have known it was going to be this kind of game when we saw that Scott Novak's crew was doing the game. One of the worst refs and crews in the NFL, Novak thinks people came to the stadium and tune in on TV to see him and his crew. Just awful, across the board.
 

Watched the second half of the game at a bar in LaGuardia Airport in NYC while waiting for our flight to be called for boarding. outside of my family members, there were several other people rooting for the Vikings. One guy said that he thought US Bank was the nicest stadium in the NFL, and going to a game in MN is on his bucket list.

surprisingly, considering that the Jets were the opponents, didn't see a lot of people openly rooting for the Jets outside of one bartender.

my sister was yelling at the TV and we had to ask her to use her "inside" voice - but she pretty much ignored us.

I may be in the minority but I don't think US Bank stadium is anything special. It's a fine place to watch a game but there's nothing unique about it IMO.

I have never been to another NFL stadium but it would surprise me if it is the nicest out there.
 

It actually seemed like there were a higher percentage of Viking fans at the game yesterday in London than a lot of games at the Zygi Dome. Lots of local fans/season ticket holders have been enticed to make a few bucks to offset their Seat Licensing fees by selling their tickets to those visiting Minneapolis.

I think the best part about it is the amount of natural light, and sometimes natural air, that comes through with the glass roof/large glass doors. It doesn't feel like as much of a domed stadium as the other domed stadiums feel.

I also think the Vikings crowd is one of the best in the country.

I agree. Only been there 2-3 times but I wasn't overwhelmed. I do base most of my impressions of NFL stadiums on how it's like in Club Level but I didn't LOVE US Bank from that perspective.

This I agree with for sure.
 


Even at 5-0, we're still a coach killer...Saleh has been fired by the NYJ. Now we'll see if they trade for Davante but if I were him, I'd push to go to BUF or BAL.

While there is a lot to dislike abut the NYJ, I don't get the move.

They were still only 1 game behind the Bills for the Division and at 2-3 still well in the mix for WCs in a 17 game season. They are playing a 40 Year Old QB that had only taken 3 meaningful snapes in the past 20 months coming into the season, the defense still was respectable.

If they had that little faith in Saleh, why didn't they axe him in January?

Not surprised, at all.

Saleh has been one of the most idiotic and moronic HC's in the league in the last handful of years. Just flat out incompetent and an imbecile behind the microphone.

Shit leadership and management in that organization though so will it get any better with a different HC? Unlikely, without more changes being made.

Saleh ran their defense which is their team strength. Their OC has somehow managed to relegate two (2) extremely talented RBs in Hall and Allen into non-existence.

I wonder if someone can enlighten me as to why the OC still has his job? 😉
