Congrats to bears...

Honorable mention to Malik Willis for coming in to the situation and performing as he did. Romeo Doubs totally messed up. Caleb Williams is still inconsistent. Here's hoping to Packers, Bears and Lions getting their asses kicked in and out of the playoffs

That's just VDS, Viking Derangement Syndrome. It's where most Viking fans think their team is far worse than it really is. It has a cure though: Context and the naked truth.

So tell me what a great job Flores has done with personnel, the 3 CBs he cut are better than everyone in our secondary with the exception of Murphy.  He let Bynum go and replaced him with Metellus who is more of a hybrid LB.  He brought in two DL who are invisible and the CB he really wanted Rodgers is awful.  Flores does great against poor offenses and bad QBs, but can't stop a good offense.  So beyond overrated and I don't appreciate the comment.  I have been a Viking fan and football fan long enough to have my own educated decision without having some BS remark about it.

Man, have we been watching the same team?! I think what BFlo and the Vikings D has done this year is nothing short of amazing. 


I thought that shallow pool of DB's would get torched this year, I was so wrong...

The Vikings are #5 D vs pass:

Heading into NYG, they have not allowed a TD pass in 5 consecutive games:
The Vikings' secondary was noted as the first since New England in 2019 to achieve this feat, showcasing a significant defensive accomplishment for the team in late

Same.  Our D has been lights out since getting Gink back.  DBs are playing well.  QBs are struggling to find any rhythm.

When did Flores become GM?  I doubt he gave the blessing to let Bynum go.

If any other team beat the Packers like that I would have loved it. But it's so hard for me to enjoy a Bears, Lions or Packers win unless maybe we need it to help with our playoff picture. And this year ain't that.

I would have been much happier with a tie, so both teams could go home disappointed.

6 games without a p passing TD = impressive and rare.

Yeah, this Flores criticism is just oh so fandom at its silliest. I mean, Minnesota is one game away from Detroit and 2ish from Green Bay in a year where JJ struggled badly early on and the team gave away wins. If Minnesota would have held on to beat Chicago the last time they played, they'd have a shot at the playoffs right now. But injuries are back on the offensive line and Ryan Kelly really needs to retire sadly. 

If JJ's hand is hurting and bothering him, you can't play him. Its his throwing hand. I think PF mentioned it, I have zero interest in watching the last two games if McCarthy is out. Problem is its a quick turnaround this week and so I'll put JJ's return as the last game of the year.

This is exactly what I’m talking about.

Vikings go 6 games without giving up a passing TD, something that hasn’t been done in 37 years, and they do this against the best offense in the NFL…not to mention Sam Darnold, Jayden Daniels and Jordan Love. And all Vikings fans can talk about is how shitty Brian Flores is.

They've had a heck of a year so far.
