Jones = Darius Taylor. Will never stay healthy long unfortunately.

FWIW, he set career highs in carries, rushing yards and yardage from scrimmage.

We need him to stay healthy as he gives us an explosiveness Mason/others don't have.
 



What in the world is going on with Washington tonight. getting beaten 28-0 to Seattle.

When he does play, he gets dinged up and misses the 3rd/4th quarter of the majority of games.

he crossed the Rubicon for NFL RBs this year, into his 30s. hopefully he's healthy enough for our Push into the Playoffs and playoff run

Darnold is something like 16 for 16, for 282 yards, and 4 touchdowns.

Washington was my pick to flop this year as they played a schit schedule last year and got every break. This is pathetic, though.
 




Brian Cashman led the team with 14 tackles (6 solo).

Second most tackles were by Jonathan Hargrave and Byron Murphy. Both with 8.

BC and JH had both been non factors this season. For different reasons. Nice to have them back.
 

My hope is Vikes get to 9-6 going into our last two games of the season. Home against Detroit and GB.

Go 3-2
Balt
Chicago
At GB
At Seattle
Washington

Go 2-0
At Dallas
At NYG

Not going to be easy by any means to get to 9-6, but after today seems like a possibility.

Gotta win next week, otherwise today doesn't matter much.

Vikings open up, from what I've seen, as 3.5 pt underdogs to the Ravens.

Not sure about must win next week. I had thought it would be pretty decent if they came out of Lions-Ravens-Bears winning two of those 3. The later part of the schedule doesn't look like the gauntlet it did just a few weeks ago either.

2-0 in the NFC North, that's a good place to be right now
 

Idiot of the night away goes to the Washington coaching staff. you down 31 and you still have your starting qb in the game and goes down with what could be a season ending injury.

That's failing Load Management 101 to have Daniel get wiped out in that situation.

Uffda.

yep get why they're playing him in a situation to get him back into game form, etc., but you also then need to not call plays he's running directly on. it's a fluky thing but you can leave him in there for rhythm while minimizing his danger taken if you really feel the need to get the reps to get him back up and going

Enjoy the excellent article from Mr. Lewis today, man he's a good writer.

I think the bank will be rocking and so will the Vikes, I'd take those points and enjoy another W.

The boldness of the play seemed remarkable under the circumstances, partly because McCarthy had completed only 13 passes all game and was playing for the first time in 49 days.

These were good reasons to research what other teams have done when:

• Leading by no more than one score
• Having 2:00 to 1:00 on the game clock
• Facing third-and-3 or longer
• Possessing the ball at their own 40-yard line or worse
• Facing an opponent with one timeout remaining

The 64 teams facing those situations over the past 15 years have passed 56 percent of the time, with only 39 percent of those throws traveling to the first-down marker or past it, per TruMedia.

The Vikings became only the third team over that span to complete a pass traveling longer than 15 yards past the line of scrimmage for a first-down conversion in that situation. Seattle did it with prime Russell Wilson against Philadelphia in a playoff game after the 2019 season. Indianapolis did it with veteran Matt Hasselbeck during a victory over Houston in 2015.

Alec Lewis is just fantastic, I'm a huge fan. I should probably try his podcast but I have a few in my queue already. I think I heard it once. He really does his homework, hard to remember a better Vikings beat writer
 


The second to last throw in this clip was legit (as were others). Fading to his left and able to put that much zip on the ball across the field is tough.

 


JJ looked great. I’ll take my lumps and enjoy the rest of the season watchin Captain JJ bring the ship home. Now off to Everest mens health.
 

Gibbs had over 160 total yds in both the first and the second game against us last year.
Yesterday managed a career low 28. Also gave up QB pressure on 7 of the 16 snaps when he was asked to block.

Very large credit to Flores. Cashman just a monster game.

Really proud of how the term Gink is topical. Early adopters do take some abuse but it is worth it. Gink!

You think they looked past us?

Could be. They scored so easily their first possession as well. Who could blame them for thinking it is was going to be a cakewalk.

Will have our answer if Ravens bury us Sunday.
