This is a very good Vikings defense. You can tell they’re demoralized because wentz is such a bum. This almost reminds me of the jets in 2023

Max Brosmer. Undrafted rookie out of Minnesota

You can't do worse by starting Max in the 2nd half. Lets see what he's got.

Oh I agree. What’s the worst that can happen? Brosmer takes a lot of sacks and turns it over? Okay so basically just more of what we’ve been getting from Wentz anyways

I do think this does play a part in it.

But I also think this defense isn’t nearly as good as the numbers say it has been. Rush defense has been trash all year long and last week Hurts put up a perfect QB rating against them.

They just got lucky with the QBs they’ve played so far this year. The good QBs they’ve faced this year so far has done basically whatever they wanted against this defense

Is Andy Dalton still around?

If worst comes to worst, find Joe Flacco or Andy Dalton.

Yeah the rush defense hasn’t been great but Flores is one of the best in the business. Earlier in the season they were flying around and forcing turnovers. Maybe I just have that Rogers game stuck in my mind

Ya I’d say that was more Jake Browning than Flores that game haha.

I said this last year, but I’m kind of tired of Flores. I think he’s the offensive version of Mike McDaniel. A lot of flash, and when it’s working it looks so unique and so fun. But it tends to fail against a well coached team. Good QBs can tend to just dice it up.

I remember when the Chargers were bringing Herbert in, some fans were saying "he will get rid of Herbert and draft McCarthy"..

I was thinking "C'mon, you don't get rid of a QB like Herbert who is breaking records and stuff".

Come on Vikings. Lets just get some momentum going and see if you can turn this game around a bit. We get sleepy on the east coast if it ain't exciting.

Herbert has had a lot of batted passes. Kind of weird when he is 6'6. I was just about to say before that the offense looks so much different...and better, like night and day, with a healthy Joe Alt. But I guess me thinking that jinxed them.
