Jordan Mason with his 2nd rushing TD of the game. Vikings up 41-3!!!!!!
Max Brosmer is the back up QB for today's game. Max could get a chance to play in the 4th quarter.
The Vikings signed Desmond Ridder this week but he is the 3rd QB for today's game and McCarthy was deactivated.
5th takeaway for the Vikes today😎
Aloha!
Until Flores law suit against the NFL somehow gets resolved or settled…there’s ZERO chance he gets a HC job in the NFL! End of Story!The amazing plays by Rodgers notwithstanding, the schemes by Flores in that first half probably got him a HC spot next year. Unless there’s some collusion going on he deserves it.
Last week Jake Browning in 2.5 quarters threw for 241 yards and 2 TDs. He lead a 15 play, 92 yard TD drive in the last 3.5 minutes of the game that ended with a 1 yard TD run with 18 seconds left to win 31-27. He lead Cincinnati on 4 scoring drives. Burrows lead one scoring drive during the first 1.5 quarters.
Today he has throw for 94 yards and they have 3 points in 3 quarters.
KOC just told Wentz he is now out of the game Max is warming up!!!!!!!
With a defense playing like that, if we get a QB with a 70%+ completion rate we’ll win a lot of games

Browning is a good QB and I wish we still had him. Until that last bad INT it was weird to see a team down 41-3 where the QB wasn’t to blame at all.

If we get 65% and a fair shake on injuries they will good. Two of the three seasons under Kwesi, KOC, and Flores the team has been 13-4 or 14-3 the other year Cousins missed more than half the season.
2022 Cousins was 66%
2023 Cousins season ending injury
2024 Darnold was 66%
This center now has 3 false start penalties in 2 games? Is it asking too much for the center to know the snap count? Very concerning.
To be fair, he wasn’t called for the false start there. 😝

Hopefully the starting center Ryan Kelly who missed a lot of last week's game and this game will be back next week.

The ref’s smirk was priceless.

My sister and brother-in-law and their two kids were at today’s game. I asked him to come up and see me and they said they couldn’t because they got there too late and they wouldn’t be able to see me and get back to their seats before kickoff. But I sent them this picture so they knew where I was at.
Midway through the fourth quarter my nephew text me saying he was at my section but couldn’t find me and sent me this picture.
When I first saw it, I was driving home. I said what vendor is still vending in the fourth quarter and leaving their tub is unattended. Thinking someone will be getting fired. Then I realize it was AI picture that my nephew created from the initial picture.
@skiier32, I can name a few vendors who would leave their tub unattended or vending in the 4th... lol
Gonna be a LLLLOOOONNNNGGGG season.

Yeah it’s pretty obvious this team isn’t built for playing from behind against a good defense, the game script was really what Pittsburgh thrives on, Rodgers does enough, run the ball, and let the defense pin their ears back on 3rd and long’s. It is what it is but it’s a tough schedule ahead and Detroit looks like they’re back since week one’s dud.

One thing that should not be forgotten as story lines are created this season. Kwesi's drafting record is absolutely abysmal and is going to set this team back, it is already in progress.

and didn’t they just extend his contract?

I’m surprised the Vikings are only -3.5 vs. Cleveland. The Vikings opened at -7. The Vikings have been I Europe for over a week, compared to Cleveland being there for a couple days. Both teams are playing their backups at QB. Unless I’m missing something, the Vikings are a safe bet at -3.5.
The Vikings have a TON of injuries including three starting offensive linemen. The strength of Cleveland is their defensive line so the Vikings offensive will likely struggle resulting in a low scoring game. The game will likely be decided by turnovers and when the QB is constantly under pressure turnovers are WAY more likely to happen. If our back up line can't run/pass block I can definitely see Cleveland winning by a score like 16-13.
The over/under right now on ESPN is 35.5 points so with the 3.5 point spread the average score is Vikings 19.5 Cleveland 16.
If the Vikings defense can stop the Browns rookie RB who is really good, get a double digit lead, and the Browns start throwing the ball a lot that could certainly lead to a couple INTs by the rookie QB.
The team that scores the first TD (assuming somebody does score a TD 😀) will have a HUGE advantage.
Yeah the CLE defense is seriously legit.
This will be a low scoring game, KOC should coach accordingly
Optimist me:
21-17 MN
Realist me:
17-14 CLE
Don't shoot the Bills fan. 😉

@gator Cleveland isn’t really playing their backup qb they’re trying to jump start the passing game and Flacco was just the old vet that didn’t do it for them at this point. Personally a rookie debut against Vikings defense looks like a step backwards this week but I’m thinking more mobility and a spark is the hope with them.

Drake Maye is my qb and need him to light it up but it’s totally cool if the bills win 60-59.😁😉

Wentz is injured went into the blue medical tent then went to the locker room
Aloha!
I’d rather see Brosmer, geezus wentz, run or throw just don’t hold it until you’re sacked

Big Win! Unexpected! GREAT LAST DRIVE by Carson Wentz! He’s my starter vs Philly 🦅 in 2 weeks! 😄 Thst was a SWEET ENDING!
Wentz leads a game winning TD drive!!!!!
10 plays, 80 yards, 2:40 off the clock and all three Cleveland time outs capped off with a 12 yard TD pass to Jordan Addison with 25 seconds left.
On the drive Wentz was 7 for 7, 71 yards, and a game winning TD Pass.
Vikings 21 Cleveland 17
Great win!!! Season still in front of us! Skol!!

laughing this one off 😂 me and the Vikings have one of those love/hate things

The Vikings are now 28-10 (74%) in one score games under Kevin O'Connell.
When something keeps happening it isn't an accident.
The Vikings won this game without 7 starters.
4 offensive linemen out resulting in having to play with a back up LG, a back up RT, and a 3rd string Center.
Starting QB and starting RB out
Two best LBers (Cashman and Van Ginkel) out
The Vikings are complete morons for letting Darnold walk.
I read somewhere that even if they franchised him, it would be $37MM. I dunno if I'd do that.

@the-rube then that is poor decision making on your part.
But I will concede it is tough for Kwesi because he can’t draft for sh*t and has to repair in FA every year which is expensive.
Also, the move wasn’t to franchise him, it was to sign him for 3. The Vikes F’d up royally.

Look at all the other pieces that the Vikings extended/kept/got. Then again, I'm on a couch and not behind a desk, lol.

Reichards 4th quarter FG try missed because it deflected off the sky cam wire and the refs didn’t see it.

There was another game where the ball hit the sky-cam, refs didn't know the rule (should have been a do-over).

The Vikings need to get some players back, because as it stands their pass blocking and run defense are not good enough for them to be dangerous come playoff time.
As for arguing they were morons for letting Darnold walk 🤣 🤣 🤣
Didn’t realize Addison was benched for the first quarter cause he missed a walk thru this week. You’re on a 2 week road trip what else are you doing?

Ryan Wright averaged 57 yards per punt including a 77 yarder. Kwesi gets a lot of 💩 but our kickers are very good

Before the bounce, I think it was a 67 yarder or some crazy stat.
