All Things 2025 Minnesota Vikings In-Season Thread

Would it be too much to have 1 Minnesota men's sports team that is really good. Just 1.

Ravens are a 4.5 point favorite.
Each week, ESPN has 3 reporters pick the games and nfl.com has 5 reporters pick the games. All 8 predicted Ravens to win Sunday.

Many are not yet convinced Vikes are for real. That is a pretty large spread going against the home team.

A big task Sunday. We have dug ourselves into a hole. A win against the Ravens would be huge. A loss means we need to go 6-2 or 7-1 rest of the way.

Well, damn. You were right. Was not able to watch the game, but checking now looks like we were not competitive in this one. McCarthy throwing 2 picks probably didn't help. No idea how defense did or how they were expected to do against an MVP like Jackson.


We were never going undefeated through this stretch of the schedule.

There are some broke dick dog losers on this thread who treat every single loss as if it's the end of the world. They need to set the keyboard down and stop posting here or watching the Vikes for about a month plus, is my prescription. Anyway ...

Goal should absolutely still be to make the playoffs. Winning at Detroit still proves that it's possible.

I was born and raised a Vikings fan, but I’m sure glad I have the Seahawks as my second team.

Atop the list of abhorrent fanbases in the NFL, one would likely find the Cowboys fans, Eagles fans, and Seahawks fans (I'm sure I'm missing one or two more?). It was barely 15 years ago you couldn't give away tickets to a Seahawks game and now they suddenly want to call themselves some great fanbase; the "12", LMAO...

I have to say as far as the heavyweights in the NFC as it sits right now, the Rams, the Seahawks and Detroit sure look really good right now. I was 100% wrong when I thought the Lions would take a big step back this year with the coaching losses and the OL losses. Those 3 teams are going to be tough to beat. The Eagles might be in that group if healthy, not sure; I don't buy Green Bay being anywhere close to that tier of teams

We actually outgained them 365>321.

If we didn’t set a world record for false starts and were cleaner with the ball, this was a very winnable; the Vikes beat the Vikes.

The killer TO was Price’s fumble on the kick return, which gave theme a short field for a TD.

Besides the aforementioned yardage stat, Henry was held to 75 yards and defense held them to 12 points until 8 minutes left in the third quarter, 4 FGs, with 3 of those being in the Red Zone.

The offense needs to play better, like we did against Detroit. JJ wasn’t accurate today.

At end of first half, didn't run clock and instead gave up a field goal.
Shot ourselves in foot.

Early second half, Price's fumble led to a Raven's td.
Shot ourselves in foot.

Not to mention the penalties, batted balls, missed open receivers, etc.

So much foot shooting.

I agree we still have chance at playoffs, there is just so little margin for error anymore. Would be quite the feat if we pulled it off at this point

don't really see a reason to get a QB. If JJ goes down, the season is really going to be about evaluating what they have on the roster as they weren't going to find a FA or trade deal gamebreaker anyway so see what you have in Max to find out if you're going to cut him or keep as your clipboard guy if need be
Especially as next year they NEED to hit some things in the draft so you need all the draft capital you can have

Welp.

4-5

Keep preaching, and the more you do while not watching the game, the better I guess. LOL

If they aren't false starting 8 times or calling schit plays on 3rd down........they'd have put up 30 today.

3 turnovers to 0, 12 penalties, and stupid, mindless plays and we were in the game. It's a miracle they had a shot.

Just like the Eagles game, there for taking.

Showing up and playing well in all three phases ala Detriot game isn't a big deal; being consistent weekly is.
