NFL rank based on strength of schedule of games already played (1st = most difficult):
#Vikings
= 13th
49ers = 23rd
Seahawks = 24th
Giants = 27th
Eagles = 31st
Stop asking if the Vikings are a legit 7-1 team
They are
In an ESPN article published today,
#Vikings
WR Justin Jefferson revealed that he never met with former Minnesota head coach Mike Zimmer in his office during his first 2 seasons with the team
Where were you 21 years ago today when a
#Vikings
rookie by the name of Randy Moss obliterated the
#Cowboys
in front of the entire country on Thanksgiving?
According to
@wyche89
, Vikings QB Kirk Cousins addressed the entire team for 30 minutes after practice on Thursday
Members of the team described the conversations had during these 30 minutes as "absolutely riveting"
#Vikings
still have...
Dalvin Cook
Danielle Hunter
Harrison Smith
Eric Kendricks
Adam Thielen
Kirk Cousins
Kyle Rudolph
Anthony Barr
Irv Smith Jr.
Ifeadi Odenigbo
Anthony Harris
Mike Hughes
Holton Hill
Alexander Mattison
12 draft picks
They’re going to be fine
Records when throwing for at least 400 yards in a game (including the playoffs):
Tom Brady = 12-3
Patrick Mahomes = 8-2
Joe Burrow = 4-1
Derek Carr = 4-0
Josh Allen = 3-1
Jared Goff = 3-1
Kirk Cousins = 1-5-2
Tony Romo in the booth was kind of fun at first, but now I just can't stand to listen to him
We don't need an extensive coaching lesson after every single play
This season, Kirk Cousins finished with...
- More passing yards than Joe Burrow and Trevor Lawrence
- More passing TDs than Justin Herbert and Tom Brady
- Fewer turnovers than Josh Allen

First Super Bowl win as a HC
Bill Belichick - 7th year
Pete Carroll - 8th year
Gary Kubiak - 9th year
Tony Dungy - 11th year
Tom Coughlin - 12th year
Bill Cowher - 14th year
This notion that Mike Zimmer should be fired bc he hasn't won a SB in his first 6 years is ridiculous
If
#Vikings
QB Kirk Cousins throws for at least 20 yards and no INTs next Sunday vs. the
#Bears
, he'll become the first QB in NFL history to miss the playoffs twice after throwing for at least 4,000 yards and 30 TDs while also tossing 10 INTs or fewer during the regular season
Trailing 36-7 with 3:19 left in the 3rd quarter, the
#Vikings
had a 99.6% chance to lose, according to ESPN analytics
Instead, they scored 32-straight points and won the game
Really enjoyed FOX’s halftime segment where they previewed tomorrow’s
#Vikings
and
#Giants
game and every single analyst only talked about how NY should have a lot of confidence going into the matchup
What about the team that won 13 games this season?
Here’s a
#Vikings
stat to cheer you up after last night’s disaster…
The last 2 times Minnesota won the NFC North (2017 & 2015), they began their season with one win on their home field and one 17-point loss on the road
The Vikings lost by 17 last night
Hey
#Vikings
fans, can we just admit that they just ran into a beast last week and it wasn’t that they weren’t “prepared” or anything like that?
The
#49ers
are just really, really good
You’ve seen the post-game speeches where he gives out 17 game balls, but now we know what Vikings head Kevin O’Connell is like after his team loses
KOC reveals his inner Mike Zimmer below
In the last 2 seasons
#Vikings
WR K.J. Osborn has more receiving TDs (12) than…
- D.J. Moore
- Deebo Samuel
- Amon-Ra St. Brown
- Terry McLaurin
- Michael Pittman Jr.
- Chris Godwin
The
#Vikings
now have an opening on their defensive line to fill before the season
Coincidentally, there's a certain former Minnesota defensive lineman who is still in need of a team for the 2023 season...
Reminder that Justin Fields has scored more total touchdowns this season than Kirk Cousins..
The Vikings have $97m invested into their offence (8th most), the Bears have spent $55m on their offense (32nd.)
Fields does more with less.
January 24, 2010: The Saints beat the Vikings 31-28 in Overtime in the NFC Championship Game. The game would later be referred to as “The Bountygate Game.”
New
#Vikings
QB Josh Dobbs is also a rocket scientist
He graduated from Tennessee in 2017 with a degree in aerospace engineering, with a perfect 4.0 GPA
I think he’ll do just fine learning Kevin O’Connell’s offense…
The
#Vikings
are gambling on Justin Jefferson, Dalvin Cook, Danielle Hunter, Harrison Smith, Kirk Cousins, Za'Darius Smith, Adam Thielen, and Eric Kendricks to make up for the losses of Ihmir Smith-Marsette and Armon Watts
Andrew Sendejo (No. 42) definitely didn't have any hard feelings facing the
#Vikings
today and he definitely didn't try to knock Adam Thielen out of the game...
Luckily, his aiming hasn't improved since he left
I am far from a Kirk Cousins stan, but I don't care AT ALL that he chose to spend a few hours with his family at a baseball game when the nature of his job forces him to sacrifice hundreds of hours away from his family during the season
A few extra hours in the film room is not
You can’t be a true member of the NFC North until you’ve lost an NFC Championship in heartbreaking fashion
It took more than 2 decades, but the
#Lions
have finally completed their initiation phase
In 2020, the
#Vikings
were on the field for a total of 344 drives (offense and defense)
If 4 of these drives (1.2%) turned out differently, Minnesota finishes the season 11-5 instead of 7-9
