Three Keys
1) Please, for the love of God, stop doing dumb things – It’s not just the offense on this one. We’ve seen lapses on defense, untimely penalties on special teams, and lots of other things that have made things more difficult than they need to be for this football team. The Vikings don’t have a whole lot of margin for error at this point, and so they need to find the discipline that has eluded them at key points throughout the season if they want the competitive portion of 2025 to continue.
2) Force some turnovers – The Vikings’ defense has not been forcing turnovers at nearly the same rate this season as they have the past couple of years. With the offense having its share of issues, it would help if the defense could steal the occasional possession and/or put the offense on a short field every once in a while to help them out. I’m not sure if they can do it against this offense, but it sure would be helpful if they could.
3) Keep the faith at quarterback – Yes, it’s hard to watch a young quarterback go through the kind of struggles that J.J. McCarthy is currently going through. However, it’s also easy to see why the Vikings think there’s something there. At this point, #9 needs the reps to continue his development and, hopefully, we’ll start to see the consistency from him that he needs to provide at that spot.

As always, we will start a brand new Open Thread at the beginning of each quarter, so keep your eyes open for those and be sure to move the discussion along accordingly.
Here’s hoping that in about three hours or so we’ll be able to talk about how awesome it was to pull off another significant upset and keep hope alive, if only for another week.
SKOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL VIKINGS!!!!
