    I’m honestly okay with them not taking that trade if the Texans weren’t willing to eat some of his contract.

    @Detroit24 i really hope josh allen plays on sunday. obviously i'm very pleased with how well the vikings have played thus far. but i also CAN'T WAIT to see how we fair against these tougher opponents. hopefully you guys don't embarrass us lol.

    if i had to guess, i would say josh allen won't play. my reasoning is because they obviously need allen for more important games (playoffs) once it gets late into the season. also, the vikings and bills are in different conferences. losing to an opponent that isn't in your conference doesn't hurt as much

    How do you feel, if the Vikings end up getting the number one seed? I’d think eagles will blow a few games maybe not. Cousins can hit Jefferson really well, for already having a good chemistry together. You have a solid team and elite offense. Hopefully Cousins doesn’t fold in the playoffs. I’ll be rooting for the Vikings to win it all, when it comes to playoffs.

    agreed, no need for Josh Allen out there considering how serious this Injury might be...

    case Keenum time! Connecting with Diggs lol

    Are you shocked with how well the Vikings are playing? I didn’t expect them to be this good. I knew they had talent of course...but new coach has really made a difference

    @dna hits really doubt we'll end up with number 1 seed, but it would be cool

    i'm shocked that we only have 1 loss at the midway point of the season. i thought the season would be a good one...just not this good. but as i said, we're going to find out how good the Vikings truly are once we go up against these tougher opponents like the bills and cowboys.

    josh allen hasn't practiced all week. usually when that happens, they don't play. but they have him listed as questionable...so we'll see

    If the Vikings actually lose to the cowboys, I definitely won’t be watching Skip and Shannon for a good 2 weeks. The only way Vikings lose is if their offense completely folds. Or injuries. Cowboys aren’t a real playoff threat, when they only average around 15 points. They wouldn’t be able to score as much. The offense is trash, and the cowboys only beat s--- teams. And they got blown out by the eagles.

    Which shows they’re not ready to compete with teams that can actually score.

    Probably Pollard these days tbh. He clearly showed he can juke people and break td runs. Not saying he’s a Chubb or Mixon. But Zeke gets 2 yard gains, he doesn’t seem to have breakaway speed. I’d just use Zeke as the power back. Give pollard a fair chance at 16-20 carries a few games.

    skip and shannon actually talked about this exact topic on their show recently. skip wants to see pollard get more carries because Zeke isn't explosive the way he used to be. but shannon says that some backs aren't meant to carry the load. shannon's point is that if you give pollard the majority of the carries it'll wear him out/ he won't be able to handle it/ he'll get injured

    Wow. Jefferson is an animal. That was a s-----y qb sneak. Bills lucky as h---. Well nvm. Didn’t see that fumble coming.

    That was maybe the best regular season game I've ever seen holy s---, that was wild.

    Vikings are legit. GOAT catch by Jefferson.

    @Detroit24 WOW that has to be the game of the year! that was so much fun to watch.

    honestly man, i only had a little bit of hope once we got down 2 scores. but somehow the Vikings were able to stay in it. i'm just happy that we were finally able to compete with a good team.

    100% agree...game of the year

    thought it was over when we stopped cousins at goal line and changed the channel...then I saw Vikings were up lol crazy

    anyone questioning Vikings record....just saw what they are capable...def Super Bowl contenders

    Justin Jefferson is unbelievable

    must say that trade worked out for both sides

    That was definitely game of the year. It’ll be hard to top that. Cousins passes surprised me tbh. I thought they were insane trading Diggs, but it’s working out. I’m not sold on Josh Allen on clutch situations in games. He’s d--- good. But the type to throw one of those critical int’s.

    Skip already saying that Jefferson catch only happened because Lewis fighting for the ball and keeping it alive for Jefferson to finally snatch it away. He obsessively wants people to start saying Lamb is a top 3-5 WR, that will never happen. He views any elite wr as a threat for some reason.

    Vikings fans itt owe me an apology for angrily doubting me when i said they were true contenders at the start of the season. It was quite obvious with a Sean McVay offense coming in to pair with the unreal weapons they have

    I'll admit I was wrong about them, but still a long ways to go for them to actually pull off a playoff run.

    On the negative side, they've still had an easy schedule and almost all of their games have been decided by 1 score or less. The defense has been average but tends to get a big turnover or 2 that swings the game. The breaks are all going their way so far and it just seems hard to believe that'll keep up. Plus I've seen Vikings teams get my hopes up before, and then the playoffs arrive...

    Long ways to go, but yeah they're certainly better than I thought at least..Still wouldn't shock me to see them bounced in the divisional round, if not the wild card round...Imagine Green Bay or Tampa Bay snagging that last wild card spot, then Vikings have to match up with Brady or Rodgers in the wild card round...Ugh.

    They've also had basically no injuries all season lmao, it's insane how things are going...just seems way too good to be true still.
