Lmao at the horn at the beginning 😂😂

as a vikings fans i hate to say it but that horn might be the vikings 2024 season...

Ann knows what she’s talking about!

[@Thorsrock]

Really good takes by both of these guests. Well informed and legit fans.

[@Razorbacks1]

I wish I could be more optimistic but this looks like a 6-7 win team. OL is mediocre, defense is still a work in progress, QB position is a question mark, no playoff in 2025.

[@StillKeepOnLosing]

All the better that we still have a 2025 1st

[@judithlambertson3604]

Ann was great. Glad to see a lady guest for a change. Hope you can invite Jade and Koda on sometime.

[@jimbo92107]

Totally agree on Sam Darnold. The guy took a relentless beating on the Jets, then slightly less bad on the Panthers. Finally he got a lifeline from San Fran, but still he didn't get reps with the first team until Purdy got hurt. Darnold flashed some serious arm talent in the few games they let him start... Now, Darnold will get the lion's share of reps with the first team offense. Will he blossom in a QB-friendly system? I don't see why not.

[@catsfordays6096]

Declan just be yourself, you dont need to talk like a news broadcaster robot to be a good host.

[@eddietoro9359]

If McCarthy starts week 1 we will make the playoffs. If we waste half the season with Darnald then we I’ll be a 6-7 win team.

[@eddietoro9359]

Let the BEST man win in training camp. Let’s all be honest with Darnald. We have no idea what he will look like either. Last time he played he looked terrible so he should not be given a starting spot unless he is truly better than McCarthy. I for one seriously doubt that

[@eddietoro9359]

Yes I believe if McCarthy is not ready by the coaches standards then play Darnald. I just want a true and fair QB competition between the two and let the best man win. I’m a HUGE JJ fan and believe he is by far the better player and leader this team needs this year.

[@eddietoro9359]

Got my McCarthy jersey on the way! Super Bowl window is now open! SKOL!!

[@brucemckernan9427]

Ets not forget Mary Tyler Moore washed her car in a Tarkenton jersey..why they’re were a lot Viking fans in the 70’s.

[@ryangreen820]

Can we send cottage grove randy out to pasture and have Ann be a new full time guest she’s great

[@AndrewJones-cx6kl]

The success defensive backs have in the NFL is large in part how much pressure the defensive line creates. And yes, the Vikings are is DESPERATE need of a 325 lb + nose tackle to get that important pressure up the middle of the line.

[@cinematicopinions6149]

I trust in Ann

[@smashjohnson3196]

Cody just got me so jacked up! When’s the last time you seen two running back sets, running outta the shotgun? Whooo!!!! SKOL!!!!!!!

[@snmr1318]

[@brettmerritt5469]

Anyone else worried about the undersized speed rushers? How are they going to set an edge, won’t be able to pin the ears back if you can’t stop the run

[@laserchiefwankoo204]

Undersized speed rushers? Not all rushers are 270+ lbs. Rushers in a 3-4 scheme do more than rush. They drop back in coverage too. You say undersized, i say versatile

[@bardsimpson1404]

The 3-4 defense claim really is nonsense. They use more nickel and dimes (both have a standard Le, ldt, rdt, re) fronts. The NEED real dts.

[@bardsimpson1404]

​@@RednGoneno pro level dts, means no rush whatsoever. Doesn't matter how "amazing" a de is, if the dts suck, then the ends get double teamed. The 1 common denominator in 20 yrs of sucking as a team, is - shitty oline AND shitty dline. And they STILL haven't addressed it.

[@Whtrulookingat]

Oh shit WINONA!!!!!

[@timboekhout7249]

Just remember, the Vikings were 0-4 to start the season with a healthy Kirk Ousins! They need to be more prepared to start the season this year! Hopefully they learned a lesson last year.

[@Alexander-lc7dx]

Ann crushed it

[@djsupetown9499]

Hell yeah lady. Ur absolutely right. Thank goodness Kirk is gone !

[@misguidednuke2143]

Playoffs, 10% chance at best.

[@terrypitt3743]

Sam Darnold is this years starter, get over it! He will take 1st string snaps, and if O'Connell can work his magic on Darnold, like he did on Cousins, he is the starter for the season! Darnold finished the season in the Superbowl! The only thing up for grabs is who backs up Darnold, McCarthy, or Mullins!

[@intrepidfool]

Darnold isn’t nearly the QB that Cousins is. He is in the same bin as Mullens and Dobbs. If the competition is legit, unless McCarthy is also a first round bust, he shouldn’t have any problem outplaying Darnold and winning the starting job.

[@terrypitt3743]

@intrepidfool You don't understand, it's not a competition! O'Connell has never said anything about a competition! No matter your opinion of Darnold, he's seen what the league has to offer, speed of the game, the numerous different defensive looks, too many to count. This offense is complicated per Mr Cousins. McCarthy is what I call a leftover, and I don't mean this in bad way, but a least 6 other quarterback needy teams either said No straight up, or said No to the trade up. So McCarthy has issues, determined by NFL coaches. He needs to set, to learn! Last year Houston caught lightning in a bottle, with Stroud, McCarthy is not Strould

[@903i9]

I just don't see the coaching staff dumping alot of time and energy into a 1 year insurance policy. Doesn't add up to me, but maybe.

[@terrypitt3743]

@903i9 Make No mistake the Wilfs are involved in these decisions, winning games is very important to put butts in seats! To win anything this year, it's Darnold or nothing, he knows most of the offense, was in the Superbowl last year with the 49ers, who use basically the same offense. This year the question should be, who is Darnold's backup!

[@StillKeepOnLosing]

Easy answer is No. You're sad team has a win total of 6.5 and yall thinking playoffs? Lmfao. Sad vikes fans. Try not to be bottom feeders of the north first

[@jerrystraka7856]

Until KOC develops a run game and screen game, defenses will just put their ears back and full out attack the QB. Mr. ONE TRICK PONY, KOC is too stubborn to diversify and develop an offense that will keep defenses honest. The lack of imagination and incorporation of a run game needed to effectively utilize play action will stunt any offensive growth or consistenty. I have zero confidence in KOC. He's a spoiled stubborn child .....

[@snmr1318]

good point, no draft is gonna fix Coach Kevin "didn't call plays for the rams".

[@bardsimpson1404]

Fans hate cousins, but TEAM MATES AND COACHES LOVED HIM. there is a reason for that. Fans know nothing. Everyone will get what they wished for this yr, when theyre 1,2,3 punt every drive. WRITE THIS DOWN - 50% of fans will wish cousins was still here by nov
