2024 off season thread

[Worm Guts]

The offense was pretty good outside of the turnovers. I thought both the interceptions were pretty bad. The defense looked great, although I’m sure part of that is a limited Colts offense.
Hopefully the Vikings can take care of business the next two weeks against the Jags and the Titans. That would put us at 8-2 for the stretch run.

[Worm Guts]

I thought we were going to screw that up. We blew so many opportunities, I thought for sure it was going to come back to bite us.

[hermes]

looking at the stats, we just dominated the game
defense was stout, offense moved the ball up and down the field
but the redzone was like the bermuda triangle - turnovers and just general ineptness

but i suppose sometimes you just have to scrape by on the road

[hermes]

i'm getting more concerned with darnold

earlier in the year we were winning despite his 1-2 mistakes, bone head plays. but now we're getting to like a handful of mistakes/bonehead plays a game. getting to be a lot to overcome

not much we can do i guess, and we are still 7-2

[hermes]

solid game
defense was great, titan oline did not have a good game
darnold still making mistakes but we continue to mitigate them

always nice to win on the road

[Worm Guts]

I thought we got kind of lucky with all the penalties from the Titans. And the big plays were kind of concerning (even though one didn’t count).

[hermes]

lot of weird stuff happened

darnold had a really good game, no turnovers
addison had a huge game
didn't get it to jefferson much, drew a lot of attention

williams might end up being really good. this defense has really given young qbs problems this year but he did pretty good

[Worm Guts]

Yeah, Williams has a ton of physical talent. If he figures out the mental part, he’s going to be a problem.
It would be nice if the Vikings would make these games easier. We get a stretch of home games now, hopefully we can take advantage.

[hermes]

completely missed (and actually forgot) about the game. was on vacation/holiday stuff with the family

looks like it was exciting anyway

[hermes]

great second half/fourth quarter

sam playing great, jordan and justin going off, great game

[Worm Guts]

I was surprised fans booed Kirk. The way the offense played in the 4th quarter was awesome though. Darnold is looking great.

[hermes]

not much fuss or muss, just got it done
darnold wasn't especially sharp but the defense was
cam robinson was not, had like four penalties

[Worm Guts]

Playoff birth clinched and more wins than I thought was possible.

[hermes]

went on the road, in the rain, against a team fighting for a playoff spot and we come back in the fourth quarter to get the win
that was big
jefferson is great, darnold is great and the defense continues to be timely

[Worm Guts]

Packers and Lions the next two weeks. We could still get anywhere from the first seed to the sixth seed. Kind of crazy.

[hermes]

dang packers always make it close

big win, darnold continues to look great and lots of different offensive pieces making impacts

[Worm Guts]

Very disappointing performance last night. It could have been different if we finished in the red zone, but we didn’t.

[hermes]

missed the game because i was traveling but didn't miss much from the looks of it.
with how good the year was, i really hope we don't lose in the wildcard round but the rams are good and being on the road i don't have terribly high hopes

[Worm Guts]

Yeah, I've tried not to get my hopes up too high this season, but losing in the first round would be a disappointment.
