Ortiz was good, but always hurt. McCarthy is not good and always hurt.
I would think that the steroids had a much bigger affect on Ortiz's getting better than switching teams did.
NYG: Hey, we're interested in JJ...
MN: Take him.
NYG: We'll give you a 5th--
MN: STOP TALKING. TAKE HIM. He's already on the plane.

The Vikings had 0 plays in the offensive red zone while playing Tampa and won the game 😎
Aloha!
am I the only one who thought the bears third string QB -Case Keenam-- would be an upgrade to the Vikings first string QB?

Yes. He has played for nine teams for a reason.
Go back to Wentz. Sure his numbers weren't great vs CHI but how much of that was the weather? 63% CMP and a 125 RTG vs GB. So far Murray has 1 TD, 2 INT, 53% CMP% and a 54 RTG.

I’m willing to give Murray another game to figure it out. His body language reads as disinterested and his play has followed. I think both Murray and Wentz are flawed, so it’s a matter of choosing who is the least worst as opposed to who is the best.

Won't happen now. Murray is for sure playing the next two games before the bye no matter what other than injury.
If the offense looks similar to Sunday the next couple of weeks then maybe Wentz after the bye. But I believe Murray has a pretty long leash especially if they are winning.
JJ missing most of the Tampa game is also a factor in judging Murray. He should prolly get a couple more starts before you think about doing anything
Was JJ missing during his brilliant start vs. Green Bay? Yes he went out early but 3/5 for 18, an INT and a 28 rating...

The Vikings defense continues to overcome the offense.
The worst 4-0 team ever could soon be the second worst 4-0 team ever.
YOU CAN"T STOP HOCKENSON!!!!!!
13 catches, 119 yards
The Vikings two 4th quarter possessions
15 plays, 60 yards, 8:30
11 plays, 74 yards (was 79 yards before 3 kneel downs), 5:41
Miami had the ball once in the 4th quarter
3 plays, 2 yards
The Dolphins can't mount a 4th quarter comeback if they never have the ball.
The Vikings extend the NFL's longest current winning streak to 9 games.

Actually the lack of offense will eventually matter. No team has ever made the Super Bowl with an offense ranked as badly as Minnesota's currently is.

1. Where is Jimmy Hoffa?
2. Where is Amelia Earhart?
3. The 2026 Vikings are 4-0?
4. Is there life elsewhere in the universe?
I’d argue #3 is the biggest mystery.

That is why I mentioned the short-field, AND the FIVE GAMES with no offensive TDs. That team relied on defense. Now, I am not going to even pretend that this year's Vikings D is comparable to THAT defense, that's just nutzoid. However, it CAN be done with some luck, or a little improvement on offense.
Note: didn't want to bring up the 1985 Bears, b/c that D was just one of a kind. Completely unicorn situation.

But that's my point - this Vikings D isn't as good as the 2000 Ravens so a last place offenese will 100% not be good enough. They have to improve.
They do have to score a TD here or there. Agreed.

The Modern Connection: This unique historical stat resurfaced because the Minnesota Vikings joined the 1922 and 1923 Chicago Cardinals (and the 1934 Detroit Lions) as the only teams in NFL history to start a season 4-0 while failing to score an offensive touchdown

You need to fix your factoid. The correct factoid is - "They're the only teams in NFL history to start a season 4-0 while failing to score an offensive touchdown in at least 2 games."

He could play this weekend due to The Vikings practiced without Jordan Addison on Wednesday, as the receiver worked through minor hamstring soreness. Jefferson, who missed Sunday’s game against the Dolphins with a sprained ankle, was limited in his return to practice.

The Vikes are terrible this season how can this offense be so bad week in and weak out.

That JJ throwback to Murray play needs to ripped out of the playbook, shredded, gas poured over the shredded pieces, then lit on fire so it's never, ever, considered for use again. Maybe even bury the ashes to be safe.

As bad as that play call was, it was even worse to call it when he did. They had a nice drive going and needed only to run down the clock and get 3 points to go up by 10. Instead, our genius coach installs a trick play that was loaded with risk. Really, really dumb. I have no idea where is head is at sometimes.
5 wins. 0 losses. SKOL!!
