All Things 2025 Minnesota Vikings In-Season Thread

[Spaulding!No!]

Let’s go to Ben Leber on the sideline.
‘Uh guys, we have a lot of players focused on Caleb but we need to put more pressure on the edges.’
Another amazing Leber report.

 

[Border Gopher]

When is Drake Lindsey draft eligible?

 

[Gophers1992]

Turns out playing QB is harder when you don't know the other teams' signals and don't have 7 seconds to throw every pass.

 

[Gold Vision]

Well this is a giant downer to open the season.

 

[upnorthkid]

Same is somewhere around 1000x too fast for McCarthy right now. Thankfully the bears are too dumb to take their points so we’ll see. One drive out right now

 

[Border Gopher]

Bears field goal might end this

 

[stocker08]

4/7 for 20 yards. Sweet.

 

[Gophers1992]

Yeah after seeing how sharp JJ looks I get why he didn't really need to play in the preseason.

 

[Slim Tubby]

4/7 for 20 yards. Sweet.

That's 2.9 yards per pass attempt. Aggressive.

 

[Roland Brooks]

Poor click management

 

[Roland Brooks]

Clock

 

[upnorthkid]

That was much more McCarthys strengths. He throws those deep routes so much better

 

[howeda7]

Went about as bad as possible and it's 10-6. Let's not panic.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Lavelle E Neal the 3rd is rolling in his grave.

 

[Gophers1992]

Went about as bad as possible and it's 10-6. Let's not panic.

Not panicking but I was hoping to eat crow on my JJM skepticism. So far not doing that, but time will tell.

 

[upnorthkid]

Have to let jjm push it downfield more in the second half. You’re not going to go down the field 3-5 yds at a time consistently. Also liked the no huddle early. Simplify for him, and tell him to stop audibling repeatedly lol

 

[howeda7]

Well...

 

[Border Gopher]

Your quarterback needs whispering to

 

[Unregistered User]

It’s almost like it’s harder when you don’t have someone stealing signs for you.

 

[stocker08]

I've seen enough. Put in Brosmer.

 

[Gophers1992]

We wagered the future of this franchise on a kid who wasn't even trusted in big situations in college.

 

[Roland Brooks]

The second down toss play before the pick way to vanilla and safe

 

[GophersInIowa]

Gonna be a long year if we can’t take advantage of a bunch of backup DBs.

 

[howeda7]

No choice but to take the training wheels off now...

 

[From the Parkinglot]

Any chance we can start a play with maybe 10 on the play clock vs say 5.

 

[Gold Vision]

Caleb Williams is light years ahead of JJ. It’s not even close.

 

[howeda7]

Not playing him more in the preseason was really foolish by KOC.

 

[stocker08]

Any chance we can start a play with maybe 10 on the play clock vs say 5.

Or we snap the ball with negative seconds.

 

[upnorthkid]

Any chance we can start a play with maybe 10 on the play clock vs say 5.

It’s a massive problem how long it’s taking to get plays in

 

[stocker08]

Not playing him more in the preseason was really foolish by KOC.

Rypien and Howell needed those reps to be ready for the season.
