All Things 2024-25 Vikings Regular Season Thread

Bynum with a pretty catch.

 

[GopherGrit]

Darnold had a rough day.

Luckily Mac Jones had a worse day.

Sam is human. I don't think we can judge him off this game alone. Granted we've seen some concerning signs in other games.

Would like to give him the benefit of the doubt. 2-0 out of 3 so far on this AFC South tour. Grinding out a win on the road in the NFL when things are going bad, that's still worth something.


Even if Darnold made the Pro Bowl, it may not be the best thing to sign him again nor perhaps could we afford it. Not sure there. Will be interesting

So much for Darnold being more than a one year transition QB.

I never thought any differently.

 

[Ope3]

A fitting end to this football contest and the march to a Wild Card berth.

Skol.

Darnold regressing, ugly

Tied for second best record in the NFC at this posting with Commanders - I’ll take that for a rebuilding/resetting season.

 

[gophersfan]

HAHAHA Kirk Cousins with the game on the line.

A win is a win is a win!

We're not taking pictures, just keeping score. Survive and move on!

 

[MUgopher32]

I'm just gonna look at the positive side

We are 7-2

Brings back good memories.

Aaron Rodgers at the half.

7 of 12, 40 yards

YIKES

I’m not judging Darnold off this game alone. I’m judging him off the fact that he has been god awful his entire career. No idea why everyone thought he would all of a sudden turn into some great QB. KOC is a great coach, he’s not a miracle worker.

Bye, Bye McCarthy

Bye, Bye Zimmer

Bye, Bye yet again, Dallas

Not everyone thought that Darnold was going to turn into some great QB, or had turned into one even when they started 5-0.

I attended this game in 2002. The year the Bears played in Champaign. Had a college buddy that was a Bears fan and another that was from Champaign.

You might recognize the QB that came in for the Bears after the starter threw 4 picks. Today wasn’t as bad as this game was but it did remind me of it.

One half down, one half to go.

Goff ain’t the second coming of Montana, if he gets pressured.

Hope all them D-Town Denizens haven’t purchased their Super Bowl tixs yet.

 

[Ope3]

Turns out the current 6 game heater that Goff is on, 82.8% is the highest for any QB...EVER.

And the Lions got multiple #1s when they took him off the LA Rams hands.

It worked out for the Rams too. One of the most fascinating NFL trades ever, IMO.

So this week, Goff has doubled his INTs for the season. 4 total up to this evening. Already thrown that many tonight with essentially another half of football to go.

One was an end of half Hail Mary, but still...

Now 5.

Now 5.

And despite Goff's follies, it's all tied up at 23.

The Texans are letting them off the hook.

Job done, Lions move to 8-1, by a whisker inside the left upright.

 

[Ope3]

Goff had 17 incomplete passes combined in the previous 5 games. Tonight 15 for 30. (240 yds).

7 game winning streak. Next 3 games: Jacksonville @ Indianapolis & Chicago (Thanksgiving).

To get to the Super Bowl, someone is going to have to go into Detroit and win.

I love their chances.

It looks that way. Philly may have a punchers chance at the #1 seed. They are a game back.

The most challenging games for the Eagles are Washington (X2), @ Baltimore & Pittsburgh.

Lions in addition to hosting their NFC North brethren also get Buffalo at home and are @ San Francisco.

Not impossible for the Eagles, but yes Lions are the favorites to get the Bye & Home Field.
