Chris Long: The Vikings Are A Team You Don't Want To Go Play

[@robe2504]

This is by far the best fairest, most insightful, perceptive, objective assessment of the Vikes I have heard all season anywhere, and I watch a lot of these things. The only analyst that even picked up the importance of the Lions winning in SF for the tie scenario. A tie is only a 2-3% possibility - but the whole game is often determined by inches, and seconds.

None of this is to say Sam is Joe- but he’s finally playing with confidence and is in a great locker room. Love to see it.

Appreciate the analysis and respect as a Vikings fan. You get so tired of the pundits not doing so because of Sam Darnold's history.

[@bojangles11111]

My take for the Vikings coming into the season was that they were going to be awful or they would surprise everyone and be a threat to win a lot of games. They looked like one of the best teams last year before Cousins got hurt and the rest of their team got hurt. They made great FA changes on defense. It all depended on Darnold who I thought looked nice in relief against Baltimore last year, so I had hope he would be solid, but I did not imagine he would be as good as he has been. Very happy. Need to pay that man his money.

[@VikingsFanSouth]

Your take was either they would suck or they would be good? Well done sir.

[@bojangles11111]

@VikingsFanSouth Yeah, just ignore everything else. Try not being a jackass dude.

[@robe2504]

I predicted they would start 5-0 or 4-1, because Flores would bamboozle that run of rookie QBs with his new bought to order D, then as Sam settled into the offence and got TJ back they would finish 14-3, 15-2. I ignored 2023 because they lost their QB1. So compared to 2022 when they won the division: 1. KOC has much more experience at HC and Flores is a MASSIVE upgrade over Donatell 2. The better offence looked upgraded with Sam vs Kirk (watch Sam's games at the Panthers - he was decent there), the addition of Addison, TJ and Aaron Jones, and O Line in general 3. The infusion of 10 FAs into that starting defensive rotation, with their versatility and depth screaming that they were handpicked for Flores' scheme and could potentially be a top 5-10 group. I was hoping they would open at +2-300 for the division in the betting markets, so when they opened at +950 - lets just say I have 5 figure returns waiting from betting agencies in two countries if they win on Sunday, and twice as much again for both the NFCCG and SB.

[@tcplaya2882]

Sam Darnold went from draft bust/career back-up to throwing for over 4000 yards and 35 TD’s (with one game still left to play) in his first season with the Vikings. That’s mind blowing. It really just makes you wonder how many QB’s have just been destroyed by incompetent organizations.

They never showed an angle on the encroachment call on the FG. There’s no doubt it was a blown call on the Harrison Smith low block penalty that helped GB get into FG range on their first score. Also, Minnesota would have still had the ball with plenty of time to score at the end of the game if they were down one. Alexander was out when GB’s defense was supposedly great the previous five games (against injury riddled offenses). I think it’s funny how no one ever mentions Minnesota’s injuries. Perhaps because the guys they either had as backups, or obtained, have been so good filling in.

As a vikes fan, I agree vikes fans have a complex (mostly ptsd of past failures) but I think this year it’s due to them being on the eagles and lions heals all year rather than the preseason win total. National media was losing its mind after the hot start but then completely gave up on them after losing to two of the best nfc teams in four days (with travel). Since then they’ve been a wagon, sometimes defensively and sometimes offensively. There’s a serious argument for best hc best dc.

As a lions fan, I think where we’ll get you is in the second half… the Packers almost did it Sunday, it’s how the first lions game turned out also.

All these guys are replaced by players not good enough to be starters, and now backups not good enough to be backups. That game last night between the 9ers and Lions was pathetic. 49ers suck, yet they only punted once and missed 2 field goals. I'll give you that the 49ers also have no "D". Lions will not be able to put up the numbers against the Vikings they did against the 49ers. Could someone show me one team that has been able to do that against the Vikings? Only team to even come close was the Rams, and the Rams needed a fumble recovery caused by a HUGE face mask grab the referees never called. The game would have been a lot different otherwise, and Lions won with a last second field goal to win in a game our best defensive player, Cashman, was out. Now the Lions "D" is decimated. Defensive linebacker Cashman is our defensive QB, and he was out for both the Detroit and Rams game earlier. With him in the game the Vikings have not lost a game. With him healthy in the game the Vikings have not lost. Cashman eats up the middle underneath that allowed Goff and Stafford to feed off of.

Immediately posted wait a minute people now why would he suck. Look at who’s he got too throw too. 🤷‍♂️Now why would he suck. !!!! They Love him now. I wish I could show that post. Prove it😃😃

Well we don't have to worry because they are not getting the 1 seed.

[@originalredphoenixx]

We are in a rebulding year lol😂. 6.5 wins was a joke. I picked 15-2 and sb before preseason started. I had a belief. Our defense improved. We have the beat offense around for a balanced attack. Say what you want, but this culture is about players, fans and winning for both

[@originalredphoenixx]

Just some autocorrect fixes

Best POD in the world and it's not even close. Also, FUCKING SKOL!

[@wynstonwilliams8208]

Shout out to Chris long man dude is unbiased and talks ball

[@GreenLightPodcast]

Thank you!

The Eagles were not untracked when they played the Pack.

[@EstPatriot1979]

I never called Darnold a bust. Far too long the nfl keeps awarding shit organizations with top picks and it ruins careers of talented players.

[@johnswanson3741]

It's called "league parity!" And it seems to be kinda working! Just not enough quality kids coming up to support all the teams in the NFL these days!

[@oogoozoo]

Too bad Jaire couldn’t be there to see his dad win that game. I heard Jetta dropped him off at daycare for the game.

[@lynnkirk396]

the lions should of gotten a big ass penalty on hitting patric jones low that would of changed the game big time!!!

[@Djturnt]

Yall keep gassing the Vikings but keep this energy after Sunday night

[@jerrykunze3929]

Just to set the record straight we were calling for Sam and send cousins packing

[@brotherdaniel9415]

First time listener here. Good conversation guys: very interesting, insightful and to the point. No need for the F-bombs though fellas; makes you sound less intelligent than you obviously are.

[@RibRiles-x3t]

Gonna suck for lions fans when the owners jacks the price of tickets next Sunday… no more 87 dollar seats.

[@tylerjohnson3195]

Y'all are forgetting about 30 years of failure and crumbling under their own success. That or dirty as Saints late hit a 44 year old QB for an hour.

[@richardbeucler6425]

Chris,I hate to say you’re wrong,but we call Cousins a bust.

[@electriccontrol7680]

Why is it that this shit never happens in a RICH man's neighborhood!???

[@MM-fp1dz]

My dream is for the Vikings to beat the Bills in the Bowl and flood the streets of NO with purple. The cherry on top would be if Sean Payton was still there.

[@Chimp_Handzee]

Dude, as a Vikings fan, please don't pander to these soft fans who are more focused on/concerned with winning the media popularity contest than they are on/about how fucking lucky we are to be experiencing this incredible season that has far and away exceeded all expectations. Those types of fans need to stop bitching about their team not getting enough attention & validation from the media. You know what other demographic is desperate for attention/validation & gets pissy when they don't receive it? Teenage girls. Grow up. Our team is having an insane season that nobody saw coming. Even if they get bounced in the first round, it will still have been a better season than 99% of you expected during the off-season. Stop with the bitching. It's embarrassing.

[@lynnkirk396]

I am going to hold my breath. I will not cheer intil It's over. my stomach rolls just thinking about it!!!

[@benjaminbrown3951]

Karl brooks played great but everyone else besides cooper was crickets..nobody won the 1v1s

[@mikaellund1404]

Only talk show worth listening to. The rest of the talking heads just cant be anything but biased.

[@benjaminbrown3951]

Holding on sean rhyan that negated jacobs td sucked..sean rhyan pancakes the guy. We scored 1 minute later..but thats 1 minute off the clock.
