[@saraxiong]

Lol it’s ok. Nick is a pretender too. Nick is salty because he’s lost on his bets against the Vikings.

[@ahastar1141]

He bet against the Vikings and hard for the bears.

[@lissas4152]

​@@ahastar1141 oh, he's one of those

[@jaredpribyl]

Nick is an embarrassment. Having the Vikings that low, when they are playing better than anybody, shows an insane bias. Zero logic

[@travisoshea]

How the Vikings are not even above Dallas is just ludacris

[@JWLSports]

Yeah makes ZERO sense.

[@cronoesify]

ludicrous. ludacris is a rapper.

[@ginjazz4179]

Nick Wright picked the Bears to go to the Superbowl with a rookie QB. He is biased against the Vikings and they do look like contenders. One of the most balanced teams I've seen in sometime.

[@ericbauer2059]

Should be removed from any show for a take that terrible

[@johnswanson3741]

If they can keep up the pace. The fudge-packers will be a crucial game for all the talking heads. Do they continue with high praise or simmer down with all the hype? Can't wait for the Lambeau leap by Jones. He only gets one chance at it this year! Skol in their face!!!!

[@Pill-Cosby]

As a viking fan i love it because it just means they end up looking stupid 😂

[@otero3rdRD]

I want to know what sport Nick ever played? He played the toilet paper bowl , his opinion is crap

[@chrishenrichs4197]

Nick is a really bad analyst in my opinion. He’s got a hard on for the Lakers and certain NFL teams. You could take a dedicated NFL fan and they could do his job better. Never understand how he still had a job.

[@est8793]

Darnold is playing better than Mahomes.

[@surinder474]

And playing better than Lamar, hurts. Dak. Nick Folks, Eli Manning were better than cheater tomy in SB.

The only way to SILENCE the critics is to go out and kick Green Bay's ASS!!!

Probably committee of Bears, Lions and Packers fans. He doesn't know what Nick is talking about.

[@James-truth]

Why packers fans? We don't care about the vikings. They will comeback to the mean

[@emeraldamb4771]

Nick just doesn't want his Bears to end up in last place, behind Sam Darnold. l😂

[@nikkie2226]

😂well that don't mean they wont.. we going in... I'd like to hear him crying with his excuses

[@s0ta21]

Getting blown out by the Eagles doesnt even make the top 5 in painful loses this franchise has endured.

[@JWLSports]

I disagree. Getting blown out by a backup QB after having your own miracle play was heart wrenching for Minnesota.

[@s0ta21]

@@JWLSports 1. Gary Anderson missed kick. 2. The first NFL use of the term, "hail mary" 3. Brett Favre disaster vs the Saints. 4. Darrin Nelson's drop 87-88 Conference championship game. 5. 41 -0 Eagles isn't even in the top 5 for conference championships loses. This list doesn't even include their Super Bowl disasters.....

Haha ok ok.

[@nkanz21]

@@JWLSports For most franchises, it would be a top 5 most painful loss, for the Vikings, yeah...

[@travisoshea]

I did some studying and watched a clinic on what Flores is doing with his defence and it’s much different than what he’s ever done. Has some old stuff that he uses but, he’s running a lot of new looks and schemes and pressures. He uses 5 man fronts with FiRE ZONES and playing quarters behind it. It’s pretty awesome

[@JWLSports]

It's crazy! I wonder if his success will be sustained. If so it's the top defense in the NFL. Which when fully healthy would put the Vikings as genuine Super Bowl contenders

[@travisoshea]

@@JWLSports after watching this clinic and a brekdown of how he runs this defence they are coached very very well. Like running FIRE ZONE blitzes from a 5 man front and running quarters behind it is wild!!! Harrison Smirh is such a massive asset on this defence. This is one of the reasons why I didn’t like the Zimmer hire in Dallas. You need that guy who is soo cerebral and athletic enough to do what he asks and also ensure alignment and communication is on point.

[@JWLSports]

Was this on KZbin?

[@travisoshea]

@@JWLSports no. I follow a guy who has a website called “match quarters” his name is Cody Alexnader. He has written a couple of books and has coached some big time high school programs and at college

[@JWLSports]

Ohhh interesting! I’ll definitely add that to my list to check out.

[@brianhenry7983]

Nick Foles actually married the sister of a guy I knew in high school. I was wondering why she was walking funny after they started dating.....

[@JWLSports]

lol it's actually because she has POTS!

[@jeffreyseverson135]

Nick Wright should never bet on sports and I would think fox has better options with tv analyst's then this bozo.

[@EvilTheOne]

How many people could picture Mahomes hoisting the Lombardi Trophy right when he replaced Alex Smith as the starter in KC?!?! So that's a flawed argument. People either win the Super Bowl or they don't...only one of 32 teams makes it to the top of the mountain.

[@youngzeassy]

Nick doesn’t know any football he’s just a hater…and loves his chiefs

[@gkenney-reed9550]

Real talk. Who in the world likes Nick. How are you on T.V.?!? You make me like Skip!

[@joshlindemeier2434]

Nick Foles is proof that it takes 10 other guys and a coach scheming to your players strengths to be successful

[@joshlindemeier2434]

Nailed it…the Darnold this is based on “Feelings” and that is the problem as a whole in this world because people ignore facts and place their feelings above any objective metric.

[@Peruvian07Prince]

This isn’t luck for darnold it’s what he needed to flourish. He could go somewhere else and fail but here I think he will be a top QB as long has KOC is here.

[@Michael-yk8nv]

Nick is not biased …he’s incompetent!

[@IhaveseensoIbelieve]

I would like to see what he looks like around week 10. But he has improved since he was with Carolina. Also he does have a top 3 WR to throw to, and Nailor isn't bad either..

[@modernlegend_gaming]

People really dont understand how good foles actually is.. he never really got put in the right situation after leaving philly. The eagles should have kept foles and him and doug would have won another superbowl together if he was his starter

[@codybeekmann7064]

Nick wright is so bad at these takes like chiefs look bad especially mahomes rn in fact the falcons should have won vs the chiefs …

[@surinder474]

Colin Cowherd is even worst in his takes. He changes every week. But Nick Right is consistent with his picks. This is on top because of Nick Right.

The year the eagles went to the Super Bowl. Jalen hurts was good against the blitz as well

Great stuff 🎉

[@kylekernan8086]

What about Trent Dilfer or Flacco who led the Ravens SB teams that were held up on their defenses? I’d argue that Darnold is similar to Big Ben on Steelers teams. Physical, durable, big arm and is showing can play out of sequence

[@johnswanson3741]

Jeff Hostetler, Doug Williams, Jim McMahon, etc.

[@midw3st845]

Dude don't know Offense if he's still Hating on the Vikings. Let alone Football as a whole. The numbers don't lie, if you can't understand the stats and numbers go back and watch the tape. Look what the O-Line did to the Texans Edge Rushers. SHUT DOWN. What the Defense do to the 9ers offense with like 7 all Pros. SHUT DOWN. Keep barking we keeping Receipts!!

[@lissas4152]

Ignore Wright, he's bias against anything that makes his favs look bad.

[@l9o6p7a3k4a]

Foles was 100% lucky wentz got hurt and he fell into arguably the best set up for post season success a back up has ever had. That was the most talented team in the league by far that year. I agree with the other analysis about foles but he was undoubtedly lucky they traded him for a reason he had a 13 - 10 TD to int in 2014 and for him to end up back in Philly after they completely rebuilt and getting an opportunity to take over late in the season that’s 1 in a million IMO Julian

[@modernlegend_gaming]

[@modernlegend_gaming]

@l9o6p7a3k4a not getting in a keyboard battle. All I'm going to say is foles played perfect in the superbowl and not other qb would have beat brady that game.. foles in the right situation is a really good qb. He never got a good chance after leaving Philly. People who can't play football need to stop with there hateful opinions and give qbs there credit.. that superbowl was not luck and Wentz wouldn't have even made it to the superbowl. Let alone out duel brady

[@willbennett08]

Let’s see what the Vikings look like after week 8 or 9. If they’re still hanging around, then they may be worthy of high praise. Right now, they’ve had three good games. It’s early to anoint them based on how they’re performed historically.

[@tkuebler9561]

They last three games are history... I'll base my view on them from that, as at least a 1/3 of the roster turned over from last year. It would be stupid for me to base an opinion on the team, from players that are no longer there... or further back from past coaching regimes.

[@moderndayjay9109]

I’m tired of hearing about their placement…listen I’ve watched enough football for years to know that even with their D being great..ultimately they will fail because of their qb now if they do that after the first round of the playoffs then hey good for them but ultimately bad qb’s can have one good year every now and then look at the year case Keemun went to the nfc championship game against us….ultimately having a bad or mid qb will handicap the team and they WONT make it to the superbowl so I could care less about a 3-0 start
