I expected growing pains, but this is MUCH worse than that. Much.

Yeah, don't listen to excuse makers on drops or the offensive line, this is still primarily on the quarterback.

Very true.  But Skule is a matador

100%, but he wasn't on the field for the first three quarters.  :)

Hard pass. I don’t want a Shannahan special game manager. He might be good for a team that’s looking for a Kirk Cousins ceiling.

I want a QB who can drag a team to the Super Bowl, and I’m willing to draft more JJ McCarthys until he they get it right.

 Everyone is trying to do that. You’ve got to get someone who gives you a chance. Fans can wait, coaches, FO’s and players can’t. You think KOC and your star WR want another year of this???

[Mike Sixel]

two field goals. Zero offense the entire 2nd half. Just brutal. Truly. Glad I hung out with friends, worked out, and showered for most of this game...

[Vanimal46]

That might be the worst half of football I’ve ever seen from the Vikings.

Worst you’ve seen yet

[Aggies7]

The average tenure for an NFL coach is 3-3.3 years. The average playing career is 3.3 years.

The team is not going to punt on the next year hoping McCarthy figures it out. They’ll will be bringing someone in, almost certainly IMO. KOC isn’t going to let himself get fired for the long term future possibilities of the Vikings organization.

We’re approaching Josh Rosen territory. McCarthy is catastrophic for this offense

Man, i truly hope this is rock bottom

This is going to cost the GM his job. Almost certainly.

[Aggies7]

Jameis Winston out here converting 3rd and 17 against the lions.

Maybe, maybe not. He and KOC just got four year extensions. The last GM missed in a few qb picks - ponder, Bridgewater, Bradford. Wilfs seem patient

I mean, he has one really good pick in 4 years (two if you count a kicker).  That's not going to cut it. They dealt for Hockenson, and got 2 years out of him (he's bad this year). I don't see how anyone thinks he's doing a good job at this point.....last year's record built on guys either he didn't draft, or who he let leave this year.

Choosing McCarthy over Darnold will get you fired, by itself. He made the big gamble. What did they see in him to make that big a gamble? I was alright with it because of how Darnold ended and I assumed McCarthy wouldn’t be this terrible. But it’s looking like that was the wrong choice.

Most of that with guys he didn't draft, and let leave after last year, as that post stated.....this team is mostly his, other than Jefferson and Smith and the OTs.

I think the decision is something that isn't going to be made after six games. This was a bad game by McCarthy, no question. If he doesn't show improvement by the end of the year, Vikings are in an ugly spot. But going with the draft pick over Darnold was the right decision, regardless of whether it works out.

[Aggies7]

I’m sad. I was hoping for improvement.

I agree.....but choosing McCarthy sure looks bad at this point. Bo Nix would look great in this offense....

[gunnarthor]

Detroit doing some amazing clock management. 😃

14 wins to a top 10 draft pick is good, right?

Currently tied for 10th with 3-4 other teams, I think?

With our GM’s track record? I wouldn’t trust a top 5 pick 

[Aggies7]

We’re getting to that point where even if he does show improvement, are 6 better games going to make you not bring a new guy in to compete for the job ? Considering how bad it’s been ?

[Aggies7]

Gibbs to the house. The giants are a great 3.75 quarter team 

[gunnarthor]

Bummer. Lions won.

Depends on how he looks in those games.

It always should have been this way. Don’t know why it took so long.
