[@Vari___]

I forgot. When did he retire again? Cuz the last time I saw him was when he was with the pantherA in 15

[@jayNicks10]

He was so fun to watch. And as a Vikings fan, I’m flattered he signed a 1 day contract with us so he could retire a Viking of all teams he was with. (Kevin Williams did the same.) I hope they both make it into Canton.

[@hannahhilar1766]

and now Kyle Rudolph had signed a 1 day contract so he also can retire a Vikings!

[@DerrickRG]

The only silver lining in what was an awful season.

[@KingGayCockroach]

SinikkaL possibly, and I say this without sarcasm, the worst season the Vikings have ever had

[@tbirum]

Yeah 3-13 just two years removed from going to the NFC championship game. it makes you wonder how AWESOME the Vikings could have gone had Adrian Peterson had his 2012 season numbers in the same season as Jared Allen's 2011 and then combine that with Brett Farve's 2009 season.Brett Farve had his statistically best season in 2009, Jarred Allen had his best Sack season in 2011 and AP had his best year in 2012, I think with might have gone 19-0 and been SB Champs had those three seasons all lined up in the same year. How do you stop the run? how do you stop the pass? how do you stop Jared Allen from wreaking Havoc on your O-line?

It's 2017, and man what a year he had with us. Thanks Jared Allen

[@justinpearson618]

guitar man we gotta stay humble, Keep Slaughtering the teams we play, and yes I think we will be on the super bowl. Skol

[@justinpearson618]

guitar man what’s up bro. I live in andover. Mn. Where you live. Next, Atlanta is playing terrible football this year. Carolina is our only possible threat in the next 2 games. After that are the packers, ONLY if Rogers is back from is injury. I’m guessing we will lose 1 more game, maybe 2. What’s your take

[@justinpearson618]

guitar man we are actually running the ball better with Murray and McKinnon. And that’s why our passing game is so Phenomenal. Offense of line is 1,000% better which gives our quarterback time to go through his reads. I’m just so exited and happy 😊 that case plays well in our system. Really fun to watch guitar man.

I was there at the last game against the Bears. This was one of the greatest games I’ve ever been too. Jared Allen is a Minnesota legend

[@adamwicks9387]

In his prime he was incredibly fast off the line. He didn't use many finesse moves. He used straight speed to blow past the OT

[@Kjames99Gamer]

Always be one of my favorite Vikings. What an athlete

[@charlesgorman4919]

Jared Allen was a beast. One of my favorites growing up. Future Hall of Famer if you ask me.

[@brianmartin5920]

One man wrecking crew. Amazingly 21 of his 22 sacks were solo. Of all the great Viking linemen like Doleman, Randle, Eller, Millard, Williams and Marshall, no one could completely take over a game like Page or Allen. He 100 percent should be a first ballot HOF’er.

[@kevinhearn5466]

[@coreylaubenstein870]

1:20 that is an unreal snap read, timed his rush absolutely perfectly

[@hellookie]

thats why he was so effective!

[@enaid5373]

The part that made this even more impressive was that the Vikings were terrible this year, and so were often playing from behind with the opponent in run-out-the-clock mode. So Jared Allen did this with far fewer pass rush opportunities than a DE would normally have.

[@zogood3495]

R.I.P Chris Doleman

[@drakeevans3642]

All that effort anddddd his team was 3-13

[@djbo0tyt1me68]

That is what makes him great is he doesn't give up

[@lightyagami3492]

He didnt let it affect his play. He just played football the way he wanted to play it.

[@reef9273]

They had a trash coach and one dimensional offense

[@christophersalinas2722]

Frazier was shitty and team rest of the team was not that good.

[@guyincognito9831]

Which makes it even more impressive. His team was usually trailing so it’s not like opponents are constantly throwing the ball late in games.

If he played like that now he would have 0 sacks and 22 roughing the passer calls because the nfl has turned to flag football where you have to ask the qb to please sit down

[@markymark0417]

I was just going to say that! And they're all clean sacks in my opinion.

[@jacksond4164]

Roughing the passer applies if the QB throws the ball. In every sack Allen got the QB still had the ball, therefore no roughing the passer. I bet you believe players before 2000 were faster and stronger too.

[@BBgamerz261]

Jackson D the reason the rule is stupid is because if you start hitting him while he has the ball but follow through with momentum and he throws its away then you will get a roughing the passer call.

[@curlybearington1734]

This video reminds me of why I was so sad the 09 Vikings never made the Super Bowl. That team, especially on the defensive side of the ball, had so many underrated players who never got the credit or limelight they deserved, that they might've gotten if we'd been to the SB. Allen, Winfield, (both) Williams. All truly amazing players and were right at the top of their respective positions for years, and outside of this year for Allen none of them really get the credit they're due.

[@Feroxing12]

09 team had great defensive line but linebackers and secondary were mediocre.

[@curlybearington1734]

​@@Johnhargrove18 Every player I named was on that year's NFC pro bowl team, and 2 of them were first team all pros. That Vikings team had an additional 3 first team all pros I didn't name. So there's that.

[@curlybearington1734]

@@Johnhargrove18 That Vikings team was ranked 6th in total yards allowed and 2nd in total run defense. They were also the 4th ranked scoring offense - which will inflate points other teams score in garbage time/blow outs. Considering that the 20th ranked scoring defense won the Super Bowl, and their opponent was the 8th ranked, that doesn't seem to be a great metric for a successful team.
