This game pivoted on half a dozen individual big plays.
Chandler is baby Arian foster
Nothing but KOC rants… the bloom is off the Flores rose. Overall a great defensive turnaround but the blown leads late in games are mounting and always with the excuse you can’t hold them down all game. Well how about when it’s most important 🤬
Flores defense disappointed.
It must have been an illusion created by playing a series of bad teams in a row.
Giving up 21 late game points is inexcusable.
Allowing the Bengals to convert that 3rd-down-and-a-mile-to-go lost the game for us.
B Flo wont be a head coach anytime soon.
Another one-score game. So what else is new.
No organization in all of sports, HATES its fans as much as the 60 yrs of "competitive but incompetent" minnesota vikings. Doesnt matter who the coach is, doesnt matter the talent level, doesnt matter who the owner is, or even what decade it is, this GARBAGE organization is the EXACT same every yr. They need a couple empty stadium home games to get the point across. Thx for ruining every winter of my life, losers👍
This is the game, the lose where, if you didn't know by now, this team isn't very good. I'm tired of hearing about playoff scenarios for this team….WHO CARES! This team is a one and done operation. It DOESN'T MATTER!
Did we release Jake Browning in favor of Kellen Mond?
Where is CJ Ham in these short yardage situations???? Ridiculous
Nobody is talking about how our center got blown back into Mullins on the sneak!
We've had 4 QBs play this year. Give me a break. How many coaches would have a 6 seed at this point? Not to mention, the best WR in the NFL out as many games as JJ has missed, and 1 legitimate pass rusher.
I would love for you guys to count and point out all the incredibly poor play calls by KOC, this year. Man he just continues to outsmart himself. He has proven one thing, he can not handle the job.
I threw in the towel several years ago, and I have watched about a quarter and a half of Vikings football all year (none of this game), but this is exactly what I came to expect from them. They will find a way to lose. Typical.
so my mother was saying why not kick the field goal on that 4th down qb sneak and at the time before the play i was like joseph isnt reliable from there and didnt expect the same call again and now im like why not worst case the same fricking thing happens……
Mullens is out for me after seeing that game, just put in hall.
of course KOC is going to ignore Flores. To call a timeout when Flores tells him too would have validated Flores even further. This tire fire of an ownership group is 100% going to let Flores walk and keep KOC.
Fire O'Connell. The guy is the Brandon Staley version of a supposedly offensive minded coach. He's just hot garbage. Flores needs to be the HC of this team. Unfortunately the Wilfs are just to cowardly to do what needs to be done.
Lions fan here but this is must watch content every week! Great job!
I can’t watch vent line anymore. Most vikings fans don’t know what they’re talking about: blaming everything on one bad play call is absurd😅
I can wait for us not to make the playoffs this year.
In terms of Minnesota sports failures this isn’t even top ten. I’m not sure how a Minnesota fan can even bat an eye. Check out the total melt down of U of M athletics. It will get worse, wait for the Timber pups to collapse. Great time to be a sports fan in Minnesota.
There is no defending KOC.
I saw the moment in real time when Brian Flores is yelling at KOC to take the time out! I almost never see them interact during games unless Flores is trying to get him to do the right thing. He was literally over his shoulder yelling it to him and pointing.
I hope they pay this dude. My new team might be wherever he goes to be a head coach.
KOC is a coach for culture, gets everybody happy. He’s not a winner. Eventually players will value winning over pleasantries and he’ll lose the locker room.
This is just my opinion…..but what if…..now hear me out….we get the guy we’re paying $21 million dollars to block to push Nick Mullens on 4th and inches
This game was the result of two self inflicted wounds one commit to a game philosophy not helter skelter two not starting Hall is criminal enough trash
And AGAIN THANKS FOR MAKING THE NATIONAL MEDIA JABRONE HAIRCUTS RIGHT AGAIN!! Again this why we never get their respect. Of course you guys are going to protect him considering he was a host on your show
Jordan Addison deserves a generous gifting of Kohl's cash for this game.
KOC and BFlo deserve awards for tanking without looking like they're tanking for a franchise QB next year.
I think O'Connell will be Gone!
O'Connell doesn't deserve to be fired. That said, I think we should seriously consider parting ways with O'Connell if it's the only way to keep Brian Flores on the Vikings' sideline. In all likelihood, another team is going to make Flores an offer to be their head coach and we'll lose him–unless we make him the same offer. Flores is a proven success and, with all due respect, O'Connell isn't. In almost every game, Flores has kept our opponents' scoring low enough to give our offense a great opportunity to win the game–and he's done so with largely the same defense that was considered washed up last season. It would be great if there were some way to keep O'Connell AND Flores, but that's probably not realistic. If it's one guy or the other, we have a better chance of building a championship team with Flores at the helm.
This has definitely been the most aggravating Vikings season I’ve ever lived through, and I’ve lived through a lot of them. To have a team with Super Bowl talent screw the pooch as much as they did just makes me want to puke. Now they won’t even make the playoffs. Sure, there was a lot of bad luck, injuries, bad ref calls, etc…, but there was a lot of inexcusable mistakes as well. And yet they should’ve still won almost all of their games. How many fourth quarter leads did they blow? Every loss was by one measly score. To lose the way they have all season just ads insult to injury. On top of that they just kept suckering me back in this season just to kick me in the groin again. I’m not falling for it anymore. I said it last night, and I’m saying it again, I’m officially DONE as a Vikings fan. (I wish I’d done this years ago, but nothing’s going to get in my way of doing it now). I’ve just simply had enough of their BS.
I wish the vikings would of never got rid of Jake Browning, as a Vikings fan I always thought that Browning could of been the future qb, sad to see him go.
