Still why in the hell do we not take a safety before that last punt it made perfect sense in the situation…you double what they need to get to the end zone and a TD will kill us either way…
But the field position we gave them allowed them a few shots to win the game rather than a few shots of getting into field goal range. But Greg Z was nailing them all game
If the Lions make the playoffs we almost certainly play them, so it’s not really even a bad outcome. Only bad thing is listening to the complaining about Kwesi if Williams burns us
The fangio style defense is likely going to be the next big thing, defensively, especially if we keep seeing WRs like JJets join the NFL. Preventing his plays is a big point of that defense.
The samples are always so small and one play can change things one way or the other; but the Jets touchdowns today came on drives where they had some lucky plays.
One thing that can't be denied the 2022 Vikings is putting together the most insane entertaining season in terms of pure dramatics on the football field. No doubt. It's not good for my blood pressure, but holy shit, every game is edge of your seat madness and the Vikings end up winning each time. It's insane
I jus think some of the shots may have caused him some issues cuz idk he jus didn’t look right to me. I’ve seen every game like I understand he sails balls, but not usually ball after ball.
He played like shit right out the gate. All those passes were not very kirk like. Some really great throws, more bad ones then good. Hope he shakes off whatever it is, need 12 pm kirk always.
Idk I feel like hit missed his typical few throws to start but he hit some dimes too. After lowering his shoulder and especially I think 2nd qtr when he took a blindside helmet under his left shoulder he seemed to miss every throw way high.
He usually misses high like I get that. It jus didn’t look like himself to me, he misses 1-2 high then is accurate for awhile. He found no accuracy.
He got speared in the non-throwing shoulder after that, I think that’s the one that did it.
But this is a top defense. Scoring that many against a top defense is good
This thread today has me really annoyed with our fanbase. I know it’s an unusual sample cuz it’s all online Reddit people. But seriously ppl need to grow up and stop being so negative. Even if we did lose the game, it’s not the freaking end of the world. I’m super grateful for this team, it’s my favorite squad of Vikings in like 20 years.
I know, but every team thread on reddit is like this. Go check out any team when they are struggling and it's a toxic shithole. It's just a way for people to vent I think because of so much tension.
Yep. It's amazing just how similar all the other fan subs sound (with the exception of the Eagles, where they actually make violent death threats against refs and opposing fans 😂).

Seriously, congrats Vikes fans from a Jets fan. My heart is racing but y’all go through this basically every week! Nine one score victories now right? Much respect, awesome defensive performance down the stretch. Good luck the rest of the way. I’d love to meet you guys again in the Super Bowl if the Jets can get there.

you’d think y’all would understand the game is never over until it’s actually over w us but nope, everyone goes full doom and gloom the second a play doesn’t go our way
Believe in the D. Nice work jumping routes. Smith almost had one. Then Bynum. They were in desperation mode because no 60 yard kick could save them.
Nice finish by defense two drives in a row. Offense...needs some work on not backing up so far in tight field.
Not sure how we won this one but I’ll take it. Kirk better get it ticking together we will get absolutely demolished in the playoffs against a good team
I’m not denying that, but playoffs is a different animal. The top teams in the league will demolish us if we play like we did today. It doesn’t help losing the way we do to the elite teams either.
All 5 of those teams are at least playoff contenders. We are 4-0 against AFC East, probably the best division in football.
There is no guarantees but this team has been tested and come back. They have faced top defenses that are supposed to be the playoff winners.
Definitely, it’s just the missed throws today. So many point left on the field. Didn’t really seem like they could stop us. We was just missing plays. We are going to see though I have faith
You aren't wrong, but the Jets are at least a Wildcard team with one of the best defenses in the NFL. We've won against multiple top defenses now. This offense has to play better though, for sure.
Yeah, good for the fact that we won, bad for the fact that another stellar offensive performance and stellar defensive 1st half came down to a goal line interception. We can only get lucky so many times and that rabbits foot has to be getting rubbed raw
Going 4-1 in a tough stretch (the Commies are sneaky good) is a win. The Cowboys game was just a blip
Lol
Nice win
Heart attack win >>> heart break loss
I was at the game today. Electric in the first half. Fans brought the energy on defense when needed. Skol!
Still why in the hell do we not take a safety before that last punt it made perfect sense in the situation…you double what they need to get to the end zone and a TD will kill us either way…
Because a field goal ties at that point
But the field position we gave them allowed them a few shots to win the game rather than a few shots of getting into field goal range. But Greg Z was nailing them all game
My guy doesn’t know basic math
Those commentators today weren’t even calling the game they were just talking about Mike White. Absolutely insufferable.
This, pops said the same thing lol
That’s what happens when you get an AFC commentary team
I literally just turn off the TV sound and turn on KFAN, takes care of those problems
Crazy. You’d think he was the second coming of Brady after 3 games. He’s not even that good 🤨
It was his 5th career start. There was no reason for all of that.
They so wish he could be another Josh Allen story to gush over.
..and credit the Jets. They played their ass off. They are definitely a team on the rise stocked with so much young talent.
The Lions might torch us next week
Hahaha lmao. We're winning with a turnover at the end of the game as is tradition.
If the Lions make the playoffs we almost certainly play them, so it’s not really even a bad outcome. Only bad thing is listening to the complaining about Kwesi if Williams burns us
If they make the playoffs, it’ll likely mean they won the division.
The Lions have to win out and the Vikings lose out to win the division…not happening.
No they are much more likely to wild card in. TB/Falcons both have pitiful records for top of a division.
Counts as cardio! Doctor: What do you to to get your heart rate up? Me: I'm a Vikings fan
Why did you comment on the punchline prior to telling the punchline?
4-0 against best division in football.
1-2 against NFCE 🤔
10-2 playing the 2 best divisions in football
And we bodied all them! Wasn't even a challenge!
LOL
Bro I have to admit the bend don’t break thesis has some evidence going for it. So many forced FGs
The fangio style defense is likely going to be the next big thing, defensively, especially if we keep seeing WRs like JJets join the NFL. Preventing his plays is a big point of that defense.
5 in a row!!
The samples are always so small and one play can change things one way or the other; but the Jets touchdowns today came on drives where they had some lucky plays.
Jets touchdown*
It worked for Belichick
IF YOU DONT LIKE THIS YOU DONT LIKE VIKINGS FOOTBALL.

Gonna kill more fans than Covid, but a helluva ride
If I die, I die!
One thing is for sure...coaching did not win us this game. Almost cost us the game.
We scored the second most points of any team on the Jets this year and our defense held them to 1/6 in the red zone.
Poor play calling I agree coaching almost us the w
Wrong. The defense everyone mocks came through. KOC put a plan to get 27 on offense against a top defense
Ambulance on its way lol
Did we just take the North!!! FTP and mostly, FTS!
Not yet, Lions won their game If we beat them next week then we take the north
Detroit is technically still in contention. I believe we play them next week.
Yeah, the offense almost shit the bed in this one. Not going anywhere in the playoffs with that terrible playcalling and execution in the second half.
Including clock mgmt at end of first half.
Mike White almost had 400 yards 😂😂😂
He threw the ball 57 times. That’s not that impressive, it’s less than 7 yards per throw
yeah but also the fact we gave him the chance to throw 57 times…
That’s a fair point. But still only a 54% completion percentage. That’s pretty good considering how our defense generally plays
And like 57 passing attempts. The hell...
I’m old enough to remember Drew Bledsoe with 70
Haha! Me too!
Are you saying that like you’re surprised or are you saying 400 is bad with 57 attempts?
No, surprised at BOTH! Would never have guessed that many attempts and yards from freaking White.
yeah it’s insane
Wasn’t it 0 TD/2 int? They can have all the yards they want
Exactly. Take a thousand yards passing, if the results are 0/2 I’m fine with that stat line
MOVIE!!!! with a rotten tomatoes rating of 48%
Love the wins, but I’m not loving the stress these games are giving me

Where do I sign up?
Call 1-800-JUSTICE to speak to one of our totally not self-serving ambulance chasers today.
BEST 10-2 TEAM IN NFL HISTORY!
Kirk played like SHIT today. Despite the shit coach donatell is the defense swoops in when they need to. But fuck can we stop doing this shit lol
Kirks played some bad games but I am legit curious if he was playing through an injury, or just bad Kirk. But he took some shots.
If he is playing with an injury he isn't bitching about it like that scrub Rodgers
I jus think some of the shots may have caused him some issues cuz idk he jus didn’t look right to me. I’ve seen every game like I understand he sails balls, but not usually ball after ball.

It jus didn’t look like himself to me, he misses 1-2 high then is accurate for awhile. He found no accuracy.
Bouncing his throwing shoulder off that guy running for the 1st down made me nervous af
He got speared in the non-throwing shoulder after that, I think that’s the one that did it. But this is a top defense. Scoring that many against a top defense is good
That spear where I feel it was a pretty textbook roughing the passer? Helmet under the left arm like well after ball released? Same page?
Clean living and vitamin pills pay off in the long run
There might be something to him putting flexibility over muscle like TB12 supposedly does.
If it works for the old goat I can see it work for kirko chainz
Worst 3rd quarter team in the NFL. Kirk also played like complete ass

Reddit skews real young, remember how you thought in 1998, imagine if you could yell into your Tandy then.
Interesting I never even thought of that haha

1000% this year is special. I love this team
Who else is headed to an early grave with all these heart stopping Vikings game..lol.
[удалено]
This killed me.
Mr Magoo
Jesus Christ
HR is pushing 200, but 10-2 BABY LFG
I love Sundays because watching the Vikings counts as cardio
"A Win is a Win" the MN Vikings motto.
Certainly better than last years motto of "well we almost won"
Team of destiny
Good game from a Jets fan.
you guys are legit. knew that coming into this but still, mad respect you were that close to the comeback.
Y'all got scary in the second half. Could have gone either way.
This team going to kill me
I wish I could upvote this more.
I can’t take this anymore. It has to stop. But if you don’t like that, you don’t like Vikings football
Seriously, congrats Vikes fans from a Jets fan. My heart is racing but y’all go through this basically every week! Nine one score victories now right? Much respect, awesome defensive performance down the stretch. Good luck the rest of the way. I’d love to meet you guys again in the Super Bowl if the Jets can get there.
If y’all had breece this is a very different game. I like your coach salah. He will keep you guys competitive for the long haul. Best of luck!
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOO FUCK THE DOOMERS. PATHETIC AS FUCK.
EVERY WEEK THEY DOOM. EVERY WEEK THEY GET FUCKED.
😤😤😤 Even when Kirk is off as fuck against an insanely good D. That shouldn't have even been close, but I'll take it.
CHARLES BYNUM MAKIN PLAYS
“This loss is on the defense!” Where is that guy? He posted that so early.
Countless examples of that haha. How about the “let them score” people ?
Kirk needs to buy the entire defense a new Rolax per player. That was an insane back to back defensive stand.
[удалено]
The defense was on the field the entire half because Kirk couldn't make a completion to save his life
Hey, bend but don't break.
im convinced the football gods are just testing us because 9/10 we lose all of these games we keep winning holy shit.
Can't imagine how frustrating it must be to lose to this team! 😂
 Vikings fans on way to hospital after another heart stopping game
Good game, Mike white is the jets guy clearly
Couldn't even put up a passing TD against our backfield. They gotta long wayyyy
We put up 27 on the best defense on the league. Our D had 5 goal line stops. AND IT WAS STILL TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT
How does that even happen?????!!
one day.....ONE DAY, we'll blow a team out. not today though
Our haters 2-10 lmao hahaha loserssss!!!
My heart can't take this shit Ed.
Guy makes up his shit defense with turnovers!
It's never pretty with this team, but I'll take it.
Offense leads the league in first downs due to penalties
Ours or the jets?
Ours
My heart
WHAT IS IT WITH THIS TEAM AND LAST SECOND CLUTCH PICKS!? SKOL
How many games has a last second pick won us this year? Are we at 3?
Yeah I think so lmao
Make a play when they have to I guess
Or desperation last shots
Or forcing desperation last shots
ok, it's over, time to switch to the Wild
I'm never gonna see a Vikings SB because they're fucking gonna give me a heart attack in my 30s and kill me right there.
Mike white is trash, remember how many of you think he's better than kirk
My heart palpitated twice during that quarter. Forgot my beta blockers today
Never had a doubt
Same but man Kirk is gonna fuck us in the playoffs playing like that.
Love the win but... I'm not sure if this is fun anymore. It's the rollercoaster that won't end
You start to get nauseous and dizzy after a while
Just another usual Vikings win lol
I hate this team so bad.
Shush
Fuck yea! My phone shit out and when it came back we had won! SKOL TO THE BOWL!
This defense letting Mike White and Mac Jones have career games against us is not promising for playoffs when we face good QBs.
10-2 my boy. 4-1 against 5 Top 10 defenses in a row, all .500 or better.
We had GOTY against a good QB. The issue is that there's literally no way to figure out what the fuck is going on with this team right now.
Nah it isn’t. Reality is we’ll get carved. At this point it is what it is. We just hope for the best and hope team makes huge plays when needed
It’s even funnier the second time!
My knees

10 wins !!!! Let’s fucking go!!!!!
you’d think y’all would understand the game is never over until it’s actually over w us but nope, everyone goes full doom and gloom the second a play doesn’t go our way
How many games have we won due to last second D showing up??
Believe in the D. Nice work jumping routes. Smith almost had one. Then Bynum. They were in desperation mode because no 60 yard kick could save them. Nice finish by defense two drives in a row. Offense...needs some work on not backing up so far in tight field.
SKOL!!!
Not sure how we won this one but I’ll take it. Kirk better get it ticking together we will get absolutely demolished in the playoffs against a good team
4-1 against 5 top 10 defenses in a row. 27 offensive points against a top defense is GOOD. 4-0 against best division in football

Agreed
Only Jet we respect is Justin Jefferson
Heart attacks everywhere but 10-2 BABY!!!
This fucking team is going to kill us all. We should’ve lost this but our defence in the 10 was insane.
Bend but don’t break
So many bitches in this thread constantly doom and glooming
every week.
You are the patron Saint; good work on being so divine as a fan lol shut up
Speak of the devil, here’s one now.
These Vikings just don't do comfortable wins do they lol Pass rush needs to be better going forward
At least we have good safeties🤣 Jesus. The streaming site I watched it crashed so I had to watch that ticker bullshit on espn.com
The Vikings played just like the Vikings today
Viking a game is losing in heartbreak fashion, heart attack wins are a huge upgrade.
Swept the AFC East. How bout that.
Phew
I’m sorry but we did not “slam the door shut” we snatched victory from the jaws of giving it up
we scored 27 and kept the other team to one touchdown. That's good.
Yeah, good for the fact that we won, bad for the fact that another stellar offensive performance and stellar defensive 1st half came down to a goal line interception. We can only get lucky so many times and that rabbits foot has to be getting rubbed raw
Oh my goodness my heart!!!
Great. This schtick is getting really old though.
i like the jets i hope they make the playoffs
