What is that Pnk, 6 turnovers in 1.5 games?

Sucks to say it, but it's already beyond obvious that this team won't be worth watching this year. It's gonna be one of those years where I just won't be able to care about a lot of these games by halftime.

Here's what will happen this season - they'll barely eek their way to 5 - 8 wins. Not enough to care about or probably even make the playoffs (certainly not good enough to be more than 1 and done as a 3rd wildcard team or something), but good enough to wildly screw up their draft position for next year.

Such a common theme for this team. I was able to bear through it better in the past, but as you all know, it gets really old when you've been used to it for 30+ years.

i wasn't expecting much, I knew we struggled vs run, but holy shit

I'm ready to be done with Kwesi experience, but I suppose he'll get more time. But his first round pick last year can't beat out a practice squad player, his 2nd round pick can't block, his other second round pick can't do anything

Looks like Addison was a hit

can't run or stop the run and losing the turnover battle will not result in much success,

Hard to believe...

Jefferson 5,134 yards (3 seasons + 2 games)
J. Morris Bears career leader 5,049 yards

Jefferson or Chase are 1a and 1b who is the best in the league.

at least the Vikes won't lose today.

As disappointing as the start of this season has been, I have to be honest and admit that I haven't been able to get very hyped for a Vikings season in quite some time. Haven't been able to genuinely get my hopes up for a year since 2017.

Last year was a nice regular season, but nothing about that team inspired actual hope of similar success this year. Here we sit, wasting the talent of Justin Jefferson. It's like Randy Moss all over again. They'll waste a couple more years on the Kweski experiment before giving up, by which point they'll need to tear the entire thing back down to the ground. It's always the same story with this team.

When will we see Risner on the field...and will he help?

he's better pass blocker than run blocker, I don't think he starts this week, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him get subbed in

I do think he'll take over for ingram soon enough

A lot of it falls on our OL

we're last in league on yards before contact

Something stinks in Minnesota.

I think it's the Vikings.

This team is not only bad, but they're also soft. Just lose out and fuck up the first pick.

In my opinion, the Vikes should deal anyone that they can get some high draft picks for, that includes Cousin, Jefferson, Hunter, TJ..whoever...and they need a new GM and I'm not sold on the HC. Last two drafts sucked.

This team needs to rebuild from the ground up and it starts in the trenches.

Everyone knew the teams OL sucked, and they didn't address it in the preseason. Instead they added more offensive weapons...big fucking deal. That's like taking an old rusty car with shitty tires, suspension and transmission and putting a 500+HP engine in it.

WTF??

This team is not only bad, but they're also soft. Just lose out and fuck up the first pick.

Let's be real though, we all know they won't be smart enough to get a first or second overall pick. They've drag themselves probably to a couple draft spots or so of of having the faintest of prayer of trading up.

They needed to do a true rebuild years ago. Instead, Kwesi has opted to largely keep the Spielman era concepts in place, minus the good aspects of that time. It's too bad they'll give Kewsi a couple more years to carry on the tradition. Man, I only have so many years on this rock to see some big change!
