2023 Vikings Regular Season Thread

[Aggies7]

I’m so sick of Dallas. All the media attention and hype every single year. Struggling with Seattle

Ha, I said that weeks ago and everyone boo’ed me soundly. The longer the season goes, the more teams appear to be in the market for a drafted QB.

The following teams could draft one IMO: cardinals, bears, giants, falcons, saints, Bucs, rams, falcons, patriots, jets, and possibly Vegas and the broncos. Pretty much all those teams will finish ahead of the Vikings except for maybe Denver. The position is so important to success and failure, teams will overdraft on QBs. Remember, Zack Wilson went TWO OVERALL. He doesn’t even appear to be a competent backup at this point. 
 

Vikings went on a run and hurt their draft status. And they may not even make the playoffs, at the benefit of the packers. Worst of all worlds

Man, wouldn't it be something if the Bears said, "**** it, let's roll with Fields" and then drafted Harrison and traded down to get more picks?

At this point they would have two top 5 picks since they traded with Carolina last year. I wouldn’t be shocked if they drafted a qb

Absolute ref show tonight in favor of Dallas

Prescott is playing the best football of his career, but their defense is getting cooked at home against a Seahawks offense that has been up and down this year. Exciting game, far better than most clunkers we're getting on primetime.

It is exciting but the incessant flags are a joke 

[Aggies7]

Seattle drops to 6-6 and and 5-4 in conference. Vikings are 6-3 in the nfc so they are currently the 6 seed 😂

Outside of Philly, no one in the NFC looks great. Lots of incomplete teams. If Cousins hadn't got hurt, we could have made some noise in the playoffs.

Just saw a mock where six QBs go before the Vikings even pick. Of course, I think they'll move up about four picks....

[Aggies7]

Lions jumped out to a 21-0 lead in the first 7 minutes against the saints and now only lead 27-21. Too bad we didn’t win Monday.

[Aggies7]

Saints with the ball down 5. 6 minutes left 

[Aggies7]

Famous Jameis missed some wide open receivers or the saints could have won

[Mike Sixel]

Reports are it won't be Hall......blech

[Aggies7]

Love watching the eagles get trounced and seeing their crybaby coach whine all game 

[Aggies7]

Really needed the browns to beat the rams. Not looking good 

[Aggies7]

Of course the browns miss the would be tying extra point. Rams threatening to score. Would be 6-6 and right in the playoff mix 

[Danchat]

Pretty crazy how we beat San Fran, and they just undressed the Eagles in Philly. Fully healthy, they are a scary squad that we probably aren't beating again if we do encounter them in the playoffs.

I for one am not interested in seeing the Vikings play the 49ers in the playoffs. Or Dallas.

Agreed, I'd rather watch them lose to someone else, assuming they lose.....

[Aggies7]

Packers up 14-3 on KC. They have by far the easiest schedule after tonight. I can easily see them passing us by, especially with a win tonight 

[Aggies7]

Shaping up to be an all around bad day for Vikings fans lol GB just intercepted mahomes with about 5:30 left, up by 5. Four teams would be 6-6 if the packers win. Still have the best conference record  among those teams 

[Aggies7]

Hate the packers but there is some absolute horse 💩 officiating going on in this game

[Aggies7]

Now an absolute dog 💩 call that benefits GB lol

Don't know how they called interference earlier because of a slight grab at an arm and then let the Packer defender go through the receiver to knock the ball away. I didn't think the contact in the end zone on the Hail Mary should have drawn a flag. 

[Mike Sixel]

Looking like they are going with Dobbs, and I am not amused. It's Zimmer all over again. Seriously, between this and getting all conservative at the end of games, I am wondering who the coach even is at this point.

An article on line said that defenses against Dobbs now concetrate on stopping his running game.

One reason he did not do better against Chicago.

[nicksaviking]

I don't like it. O'Neill got destroyed by Montez Sweat, which was probably a big reason why Dobbs didn't roll out to his right. Now he's going up against Maxx Crosby, who's even better than Sweat.

[gunnarthor]

I'm ok with rolling with Dobbs. Worst case, we lose every game and get better chances at a QB in the draft. Best case, he's capable like he's shown at times. KOC has to change some calls but with Jefferson back, Dobbs should be better. Also, the NFC is full of flawed teams. We beat SF and they destroyed Philly on the road. 

[nicksaviking]

I like the idea of JJ McCarthy, but I keep reading about speculation that the Vikings are interested due to Adofo-Mensah's connection to Jim Harbaugh. If Kwese drafts a QB due in any part to his relationship with the QBs college head coach, he shouldn't be GM. Hearing similar reports is going to turn me off of McCarthy.

Another thought to go along with that one: If Harbaugh is done at Michigan and returns to the NFL, will the team that signs him be the presumptive landing spot for McCarthy? Urban Meyer wisely (the only thing he wisely did) drafted Trevor Lawrence over Justin Fields, but it seemed there was consideration otherwise for quite some time.

I actually am beginning to think they and Detroit are the three best teams in teh NFL.....and the Cowboys are also good, and GB is trending right. At the same time KC and Buffalo and Cincy are not....
