Yep the offense is struggling today without A Jones and Hock.
The Jets have a good defense. They are doing a good job of putting pressure on Darnold while doing a pretty good job in coverage when they aren't holding our receivers.

Darnold sucks
Aloha!
Darnold is broken. His last two passes weren’t within 10 yards of his intended receiver.
it may be time for Mullens
The defense will have to carry this one home.
They are who we thought they were!
Penalties are killing us. 11 penalties
Darnold with two nice passes. One to Jefferson and one to Mundt.
Vikings at the Jets 27 yard line up 20-17 with 3 and half minutes left.
Vikings kick a FG to give them a 23-17 lead.
D has to make a STOP up by 6. ARog & Jets in 4 down mode
Gilmore with the PICK!!!!!!
The Vikings D picks of Erin 3 TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Kwesi signings continue to come up HUGE!!!!!
5-0!!!!!!!! SKOL VIKINGS LETS GO!!!!!!!
Getting badly out coached by the Jets should be a huge wake up call for O'Connell and Flores
I don’t watch a lot of football. Aa-Ron Rodgers is still a thing? When will he go away? 😂
Veteran Super Bowl winner experience paid off on 50/50 ball, never turned his head & Gilmore made the clutch pick! Aaron Jones getting nicked up & a series of really dumb penalties kept Jets in game. But the veteran Gilmore provides the Dagger! Also having a rookie kicker who hasn’t missed a kick through 5 games. Off next week, hopefully Jones will be back in 14 days. SKOL😉
KOC definitely got bailed out for just awful second half play calling. His incessant desire to pass for no reason when leading and you need the clock to run is just mind boggling done. Not forcing the Jets to call time outs, just bad strategy all around...
And can we can calm down a bit on the Darnold extension talk.
Buuuuuuuuuuuut
5-0 baby!!
The Vikings D had 6 three and outs along with 3 INTs facing a future 1st ballot Hall of Famer.
Two of the three INTs would have been additional 3 and outs if the Vikings would have dropped the INTs.
Nine possessions were the Vikings absolutely D dominated Erin & the Jets offense.
The two Jets TDs were 31 and 42 yard drives that were set up by a long punt return and a Viking turnover.
The Jets FG was on a possession the Vikings stopped but the Jets got a second chance due to a roughing the punter penalty.

Vikings adopted this tendency of early enthusiasm and points and then hanging on. Need to clean that up.
Best play of the game was whiner Rogers with his hands up looking for a penalty on the game-winning INT. Then he ran over to the ref pleading his case. I won't miss him when he retires.
That doesn't excuse the offensive choices...

It's never Erin's fault don't cha know!
@handyman Anytime U wipe the Smug Grin off ARog face…is a good Day! Even when he’s 40 years old! The duder has leveraged a lot out of winning a single SB Homeboy. Farve still more beloved by cheese fans, despite those 2 years in purple. 😄
Darnold is good when he is not getting pressured. The Jets did a good job of getting pressure today which with a solid Jets secondary and no A. Jones and no Hock lead to a bad day for the offense. The offense will have much better days this seasons.
The Vikings were predicted to have 6.5 wins this season. If the regular season ends with 11 wins Vikings fans will be pissed because they lost 6 games. Talk about raising expectations during the season.
The team is still growing under Kwesi, Flores, and KOC. They are in great hands.
I am RELLY looking forward to how good this team will be in two years after JJ McCarthy has some play time under his belt.
I’d like to hear why KOC kept passing when we needed to run the clock out in the 4Q knowing our passing game was brutal.
run, run, pass, punt is much better then pass, pass, pass punt

Might have been different if Jones was in the game. Chandler looked average at best and the 2 longer runs he had were called back. The first one was a 30+ yard run that was called back cause Jefferson came in motion and then lined up off the line leaving the T exposed, no bueno.
Maybe but two yards and the clock moving is better than 0 yards and the clock stopped. Bad choices and overthinking...I mean it wasn't like Darnold was having a day or anything he was average.
The gamble paid off but it was still not a smart choice...especially when you are in FG range. Kill clock or force timeouts...basic stuff.
A non banged up Rogers is deadly there.
But...
5-0
