The Vikings Just Did EXACTLY What The NFL Feared.. | NFL News (JJ McCarthy, Minnesota)

[@TapeAnalysis]

How confident are you in the Vikings this year? Drop your record predictions below!

[@MeMe-in8tj]

7 wins baby, maybe 2025 will be over .500 tho

[@Tom-ut6ky]

17-0 until proven otherwise.

[@kingrigdig1585]

10-7 atleast

[@my2bit2cents78]

I’m gonna high/low this. Best case scenario I see 12-5. Sam Darnold or JJ go off and we mess around and make the playoffs. Worst case scenario 4-13. I know a lot of people think this is too low, but if it’s a hard year and we’re a bit unlucky it’s not impossible. It’s not the worst thing either because I still think we’re gonna be great in 2025 and a higher draft pick won’t hurt us. (This is not an endorsement of tanking by the way)

[@jeremy3770]

6-11

[@nathanlawson313]

I've been SOLD on JJ since his freshman year here at UM. I expect him to sit most of the year. But I'll also say this... He plays winning ball, and nothing he does this season will surprise me, at all.

[@jbus8810]

I think JJ will be one of the best QBs in Minnesota. I think he's extremely underrated n with being able to run with Jones plus his versatility, i believe he plays well enough that we franchise him n I'm excited to see this season get started!

[@stevedevries2891]

As a Lion's fan, and a McCarthy fan, I hope the Vikings lose 2 games this year. I'll have a hard time rooting against them.

[@jrunna198]

Can’t wait to see Jettas ✈️ back in action

[@Zoroark278]

12-5 just a delusional vikings fan don't mind me

[@my2bit2cents78]

I’ll take it, but I’m not expecting it this year. 2025, though? Watch out.

[@debsmith7861]

I won't.

[@alecrechtiene558]

With how much raw talent this team has, I don’t think it’s out of the picture, but I want to see progress, that’s what’s more important this year.

[@nikkicovington6389]

Well I am excited for the season to see what happens with JJ to JJ and the Minnesota Vikings and they might be undefeated with 17-0 go to the playoffs and win the Super Bowl for the first time.

[@williamsnipes9810]

JJ McCarthy is better than most give him credit for. It's going to depend on how he comes along. How he handles the rush. Small moves or scrambling. Rolling out. His protection to give him just a little check down time. He's a winner and he LOVES to win. Give him just a little time to learn and watch out.

[@pyrohectic7749]

Watch how many BandWagon fans we Aquire this season including beat writers and reporters

[@davidpipher5860]

Agreed...

[@kolfibrown6540]

[@avenue8822]

Ive never been a Vikings fan. But I am sold on McCarthy, and hope he has a great career.

[@midniitemonsta]

*They everywhere. For every team. For every sport*

[@mcshitums9362]

We will never get any good attention from the media. We can go 17-0 and they’ll still find something to knock the Vikings for

[@DJDonkeytron]

We need one more OL one more DL and one more CB and one more WR. All for depth to fight against injury bugs but that said 12-5 if everyone stays healthy and McCarthy starts by wk5 and is solid at least.

[@tommyt1052]

Want to see Sam D all season. Let JJ learn for a season!

[@Nicknursenut]

I think he should start the season but JJ will take over by like week 4 when we see that Sam isn’t an nfl starter

[@NamelessViking01]

​@Nicknursenut you have to give sam a shot. Dude played for the jets and panthers then backed up Purdy for 1 season. Dude was in a shit situation for what 5 years. He still is very talented but never had much help. It will be interesting to see how he does

[@CinQuefor]

@@Nicknursenuteven if Sam isn’t great starting jj that early would ruin his development

[@badbattleaxe5832]

Yeah, I would be good with that, let’s not expect a great year from the Vikings this year, but let’s shoot for the following year having a Super Bowl contending team

[@DJDonkeytron]

@@CinQuefor you don't know that - I am predicting wk 5 myself

[@odinskolnationragnar9528]

jj is excellent running and throwing on a dime something cousins could never do, today's game requires a run and throw QB like mahomes, winning for a reason

[@natejones4382]

Currently their schedule is ranked the #4 toughest. I'm guessing they'll end the year under .500, around 7 wins, with JJ making his 1st start around the Colts game. All of this depends on how they come out of the gate, those first 6 games are going to tell us a lot and MN defense will be much improved even with the loss of Hunter. The Vikings window should open next year once they lose Kirk's dead cap hits as well.

[@arnoldjanikowski7122]

i think i am the only person that knows a a ron jones is a 30 y.o rb. i'm more excited by ty chandler that dude is shifty and deserves a chance to be rb1 he was the only rb that could do anything last year with a weak interior oline we need a bulldozer at center for that last 2 offseasons we needed an upgrade and nada. short yardage situations have been weak 4&1's 4th and goal from the 1 we get crushed. i say 10-7 record for this upcoming season.

[@frankthetank520]

I know hes not in his rookie form but I feel like if ay ay ron just falls forward with the ball he will get double the yards per carry mattison had last season

[@bodimccall9073]

It’s a great one two punch to have both. Ty just gotta get better at pass protection. But as for the rest of the comment all I can say is, you clearly watch the games I can only agree ! We couldn’t punch it in from 4th n inches last year to save our goddamn lives.

[@Tom-ut6ky]

7-10 sucked, and there isn't a Viking fan who doesn't feel it ---BUT! Without 7-10 there is no way we would have gotten JJM OR DT, so let's be honest here. KC's Achilles injury sucked for him but was the best thing that happened to the Vikings in mabe forever.

[@jeremybruce654]

We actually did pretty good considering all the offensive talent that was injured last year.

[@Tom-ut6ky]

@@jeremybruce654 Yeah, I agree, although I'm still trying to figure out how Dobbs pulled out two wins. Those games were actually painful.

[@wesleywhite4782]

​@@Tom-ut6ky it's painful now. I don't remember people complaining when it was happening

It’s crazy that 21 is deemed young now days when that was the normal. Now we have 24-26 year old rookies

[@beaudroux21]

Cuz of Covid and injuries Won’t be normal moving forward

[@pauld6222]

I feel everyone's expectations are way too high. While we always seem to have a solid team and are capable of beating anyone, adding two players to positions we lost proven starters does not automatically mean we are going to be better. I realize we added some free agent players as well, but we have no clue if McCarthy is going to be a day 1 starter, play later in the season, or just a career bench warmer. I have high hopes for the team, but my common sense tells me not to expect too much until we see how our new players actually perform in the NFL or fit into our teams scheme.

[@debsmith7861]

You would be correct.

[@sudoCompetence]

The "start JJ" talk needs to chillout. Dude is ao young with so nuch upside. Dont ruin his career bwcause just because you want to see hom play. Patience. Skol!

[@martygras378]

It's going to take some time. I think the Vikings might win a Super Bowl in 2 years, but even so, I think they're likely to be awful this coming season, until JJ gets some experience

[@MeMe-in8tj]

They sure gave up a lot for Turner, but he does look good

[@rds990]

Sam Darnold could light it up !! He finally has a decent team !

[@tanachum7930]

13-4

[@michaelborchardt1527]

Darnold is goint to end up being awesome. Then we can decide to trade him for a high pick for next season or keep him.

[@bobbauslaugh8092]

He is only on a 1 year contract. Only way we can trade him would be during the season

[@jerrystraka7856]

WRONG ON THE RUN GAME..... The problem isn't personnel. It's play design and concept. Ty Chandler is a hidden gem. Emmit Smith quickness through the hole and an excellent receiver. However, his blocking needs work. But that's where design comes in. KOC has little imagination in designing a run game that attacks the width of the field or utilizes fakes and screens and misdirection. Not to mention quick hitters where Chandler could be past the linebackers before they know it WRONG ON THE RUN GAME IT'S KOC that's the problem. Not the personnel

[@freewayfloater]

I’m sorry but you can’t tell me mattison wasn’t a huge issue along with guard play Akers came and before Achilles was looking like he was about to takeover

[@Chunkyb514]

Ty Chandler is a beast. You’re exactly right. We need to actually utilize him. KOC gets too pass happy and it’s his downfall as a play caller. If he utilizes Chandler and the run game, this offense can be unstoppable. Maybe having a young QB that needs to develop will help him recognize it.

[@Chunkyb514]

@@freewayfloaterMattison was butt cheeks. Everyone that watched the Vikings knew Chandler was substantially better. If he actually utilized Chandler, the run game would have been much better. Mattison reminded me of Trent Richardson. He couldn’t see a hole at a strip club.

[@Johnhargrove18]

Exactly. Koc is beyond overrated as a play caller.
