Pick 6 incoming?

 

[MenacingMonk]

Tired of seeing this Kelce dude all up in the videos.

 

[MVike28]

And yall still got no rings.

But fr my QB is slow and my coach is soft. I’m taking joy wherever I can

At least yall got a QB

 

[IIVI]

They still took off 3 minutes. Team is elite at controlling that clock.

 

[28 Gramz]

Weirdly enough, the Vikings have time.
But one of their potential scoring drives has to be QUICK and the Rams have to punt from here on.

They have no chance unless they force a turnover.

 

[Copy Ninja]

I see a safety coming

 

[Jmare007]

stafford keeper ?

If McVay just wanted to run the clock, might as well take a knee

 

[IIVI]

They had Warren G a couple years ago during their SB run against the Cardinals too.

 

[jerniebert]

Warren G looking like just Warren.

 

[zayk35]

Oh look there's Warren G

Vikings defense is basically outclassed.

Once the Rams offense stopped making mistakes this was done.

Thing is the rams defense is painfully average in every defensive category except for red zone defense according to official statistics. They’re ranked 5th, tied with the eagles by successfully defending their touchdown zone at a 50% rate.

Vikings are the second best ranked team in rushing defense. But it doesn’t mean anything because they cant stop the rams running game tonight.




On paper, the Vikings offensive unit of Sam darnold, Justin Jefferson, tj hockenson, Jordan Addison and cam Akers should overwhelm the rams defense. They have a better offense than the rams. The Vikings were ranked 6th in passing offense, 19th in rushing offense, 9th in scoring offense, and 19th in red zone offense, but overall ranked 12th out of 32 teams in total offense.

Rams have Stafford at QB , puka nacua/Demarcus Robinson/ cooper kupp at WR, kyrie williams at RB and parkinson at TE( replacing starter Tyler higbee for tonight’s game only)

Rams this year were 10th ranked in passing offense and 15th in overall offense. But they were ranked 24th in rushing offense, 20th in scoring offense and 25th in red zone offense.

The Minnesota defense struggles to stop the rams pass/Run game and the rams have a weaker offense than the Vikings. Imagine what the Philly offense would have done to them. Hurts/barkley/TJ brown/devonta smith/ goedert against the current Vikings defense tonight…..it would have been a human massacre.

Vikings fumbling and turning the ball over all game, they’ve played sloppy so far. Their defense is collapsing in real time. They’re Losing their composure and nerves.

 

[Piff Perkins]

Calling it now: Rams gonna smoke the Eagles.

 

[CourtesyFlush]

Lmao at wasting all that time like they're not down 18. Why are professional coaches so awful at clock management?

 

[Boonapalist]

At least yall got a QB

He’s just a JAG in MLF’s system until further notice.

This was supposed to be a down year for you guys anyways so . Two things the Vikings are good at is being consistent and bouncing back

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

gotta be joking with that flag
