Considering EVERYTHING these players and coaches have been through the first 5 weeks?
ITs amazing they are 5/0
That SF/Vikings game will be a doozy...
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

Could you imagine if we're playing for all the marbles then? That would be absolutely wild. We are going to need to get more efficient on offense to be able to hang with the NFC elite.

Could have #1 seed in the NFC implications...
5-0 is one thing, but winning all of those NFC games is another. Lots of home games left on the schedule. I believe Mexico City is Viking's fans territory. The plan on offense isn't all the way there yet, but its getting closer each week...bring in the A team after the bye...
If you get this version of Kyler Murray that we saw in Week 5, with what Brian Flores' group has been doing on the defensive side of the ball, the Minnesota Vikings are not only going to win the NFC North - this is a team that could be in the final four once playoff time comes. https://t.co/A5hYtAsDCS

Getting Mason, Hock, Darrisaw and Addison back is going to a nice boost. But the biggest thing is Kyler Murray and KOC continuing to get more and more comfortable with each other. If the trajectory we've seen over the last 6 quarters or so continues, there aren't many teams who are going to be able to hang with the Vikings.

I loved Canty’s take that if Kyler plays like this, the Vikings are a top-four team. If Kyler proves he can do it consistently, the talent on this roster is absolutely there.
What I really liked, though, was the host’s point about KO. I’ve said this repeatedly: one of the marks of a great leader is surrounding yourself with people who are smarter than you in their respective areas, finding people who complement your strengths and compensate for your blind spots, and then getting out of the way and letting them do what they do best.
A great leader doesn’t need to have all the answers or be the best at everything. He needs to recognize talent, empower the right people, trust their expertise, and give them the support to succeed. That’s how you build something bigger than yourself.
KO doesn’t have to be perfect, and I’ve certainly had my criticisms of his play-calling and offensive decisions (not as often as most other fans). But if he can continue building the right staff, trust the people around him, and put the pieces together, this team has the potential to be special. Now we just need Kyler to play at that level consistently and turn that potential into a Super Bowl. SKOL! 💜
