VIKINGS-BEARS RECAP: WINNERS & LOSERS!

[@Imposter-B]

The T.V broadcast team gushing over the bears and Caleb Williams never once talked about how good the Vikings are

[@mikemaricle9941]

After the V's first TD, they show the B's scoring drive. WTF?

[@Sonicfan640]

They wanted the Bears to win that game so badly. Disgusting to watch.

[@NoChylDyl]

Yeah they stunk

[@tsix8987]

I loved the replay gushing over Caleb showing AVG being held by the neck the whole play. No mention of it, no flag. Story of the game. These teams have learned to just hold or interfere with Jets most plays and they will only call one or two of them a game.

[@finlaymaccorquodale4017]

never normally complain about the broadcast bias but today was actually difficult to listen with the way they were glazing Caleb and bears new OC

[@skolshred]

Nick Mullens was a huge winner today!

[@rogerforsberg3910]

Absolutely!

[@That85Scorpio]

2-2 on the season in clutch moments

[@nathancollins69]

I say he deserves a try if Sam has another terrible game. Sam played pretty good today tho!

[@JimBlueFitness]

Should have gotten a game ball, even for only two plays!! 🙂🏈

They play to the level of every team they play.

[@robertcronen3517]

Gotta stop turning the ball over in the red zone

[@rv4017]

Darnold played a great game, hoping he can keep it up! Defensively need to get a pass rush up the middle and stop giving up long pass plays

[@luvtasinga]

3 is FREE! At last 😊

[@Q1ller]

I’ve been saying for weeks… USE HIM!!

[@bryanmachin2152]

Once again, they miss a TD opportunity, and the result was a game that was closer than it should've been. That said, pulling out the victory on the road against a division rival that IS better than their record, even after the horrible bad luck on that on-side kick, is a sign of a truly tough team--and a playoff contender. Nice work Vikings!

[@henryflemming]

Time to start talking about Blake Cashman as the team MVP. Haven't lost a game with him in the lineup. 1-2 when he was injured

[@ariejohnson1944]

Vikings need to keep Nick Mullens as QB2 for next season. He is not exciting nor do we really think he can be "fixed" like Darnold but at the end of the day he knows the offense, isnt afraid to sling it and can read the field fast(maybe even faster than Sam). Please no Daniel Jones.

[@samphilipp4997]

The hitman wont retire quite yet💪

[@ryannewazada2102]

The Vikings 👀 👀 👀 avoided getting their feet stuck in a trap game. Yet, they should have won in regulation time by 14. The opening drive was a pace setter, but the fumble killed any chance to put this game away early. 🎉😮❤😊

[@jaywysard]

Yes...my feeling exactly. They should have won by 2 TDs. I mean, how many red zone TOs have we had this year? It feels like about 19 or so. Jesus H. Christ on a stick.

[@AlantisPrime]

Hockenson proved, "you can't cover us all". also, i want the entire defense to run laps

[@derekbaker3279]

Great list Andy,. Just three thoughts... (a) Your only omission for the list? The iDL, for having ZERO quick interior pressureson Caleb Williams. He had a clean pocket for nearly the entire game....and as we saw, even a rookie can have a great day without any pressure on him! (b) BTW, Andrew Van Ginkel was 'spying' on Williams, but even AVG could not prevent some of Williams runs & throws from outside the pocket. (c) Regarding the 4th & 1 call from KOC (who called a great game today IMHO), I agree 100% that going with an empty backfield was not very smart...it removed the guesswork that the defence would have had to do, it allowed the LBs & DBs to be free to clog up the space behind their DL, plus the Bears seemed to read the play right away (they did some good film study)....BUT...at that point in the game, I seriously doubt that our under-manned, under-sized O-line would have cleared a big lane for a RB...so play action would have been the best call. Once we got to OT, it appeared that the Bears DL had shot its bolt & stopped physically dominating our mediocre OL, and so KOC called some runs & short passes that were effective.

[@Cam_Natsarim]

Officiating was awful as usual. The bears were holding almost every play. Three times they were offsides and they didn’t call it. And an unnecessary roughness call they missed where Powell was clearly hit out of bounds. Also a couple times the bears should have been called for delay of game the clock was at zero and the ball wasn’t snapped. The Vikings didn’t play the best today but the refs definitely didn’t help either.

[@bryanmachin2152]

Yeah, I saw one snap at zero on the clock, and another that was damn close.

[@BradBenner-oe9iw]

YES! Also in the 4th the Bears were able to snap the ball with 22 seconds left and the clock, run a play, score a touchdown, and magically there was still 22 seconds on the clock! I wonder how they were able to have 3 seconds left at the end for the field goal that tied the game? 🤔🤦🏻‍♂️

[@Dancomycin]

Winner : Dave Quessenberry, i think he gave up one sack but overall good fill-in performance when Cam Robinson went down

[@ryanmclellan8740]

A win is a win me boys! 😊

[@joedidonato6977]

These are games the Vikings used to lose. I'll take winning ugly.

[@Bluboy30]

I'm happy that Darnold has been taking care of the ball in the last couple of games. But he's still holding on the ball too long and almost threw a pick when he again forced a throw to JJ.

[@Charles-t6w2d]

Just because the TV broadcasts team doesn’t talk about the Vikings its doesn’t makes the Vikings a loser

[@JC-vikings]

Aaron Jones told Mike Florio today thst the Vikings hear and see things. They knew Florio picked Chicago to win. Glad Aaron called him out. Still think Darnold took unnecessary sack.

[@nathancollins69]

On the 4th n 1 Sam should have took off n scrambled!

[@codykoch8342]

Chicago tried everything to win and call these bad calls on Vikings ridiculous bears holding was insane today

[@nathancollins69]

Should have been a blow out! Our offense looks uncoordinated half the time!!😂😂

[@TonyBoyOhBoy]

This is a good team. Unfortunately, it's got a problem. They are mistake prone and have a very bad habit of losing focus once they have a lead. You can get away with that during the season against mediocre and bad teams. You don't in the playoffs.

[@tsix8987]

The refs were 100% trying to tilt this game. Horrible officiating, and the announcers were equally bad and biased towards the Bears.

[@KenHeying]

Mullins played well. I think It makes Sam nervous.

[@davidpaulson4590]

Daryl Johnston was just atrocious on the fox broadcast! Could not listen anymore,hit the mute button.

[@paulcolon9527]

We have got to get a better rotation to see if these other guys can play. Mix in some Theo Jackson Moreau Ty chandler . Need more team Speed ! Secondary is way too slow

[@christostsirmbas3527]

The Chicago head coach F up in the 3rd quarter. He went for it 4th and 2.

[@paulcolon9527]

Cmon please send BP to the bench! To small to slow and can’t separate. Trent has been playing well in crucial situations. He is bigger stronger and faster and plays way more physical!

[@bobw21]

We have had at least 3 defensive quarters that were disaster.

The Vikes D didn't play good but they made some good plays...if that makes any sense.

[@bryanmachin2152]

Not as good as the last two week. But they did the job in OT!

[@pelandes1980]

So the onside kick recovery is not considered a turnover?

[@robertharrie4513]

I don’t think so because they never actually had possession but I’m not sure

[@bestaff]

To wash the stench of "frauds" off.... unfortunately we will have to win a playoff game or two (unlike 2022) Until then that's how sports folks will look at us

When you can only dress 43 guys it's hard to justify a roster spot for that alone. If they play dline or TE sure but it's a waste otherwise.

[@bryanmachin2152]

That wasn't really his fault on the onside kick. But then they've got a lot tight ends now...

[@jimbo92107]

This game proved one thing: Even the lowly Bears organization cannot completely ruin Caleb Williams. He's going to be a top-shelf quarterback in this league. Vikings were lucky to catch him before he starts eating defenses alive. He almost did it to B-Flo's D.

[@KingTroll1250]

He's still gay

[@everlastinglife5978]

There is no team in the NFL I don't think we can beat.

[@BHYJA5166]

At our best I agree but the offense stalling out at times is a worry as well as our old secondary that always seems to get gashed if the pass rush can't get home.

[@Birr58.]

​@@BHYJA5166it would help if the secondary had some help on 3rd down with flo bringing 5-7

The hold on AVG when he had a for sure sack that they showed a slow motion replay of was just one of many. Oh and a nice delay of game that wasn't called on the same drive. I could go all day.

[@fittestover40]

There was only one loser Brian Flores. Hes coached some great games but I don't understand when it comes to the Bears. Last year Justin Fields literally could complete a pass more than 5 yds until the end when Flores went to prevent with 3 man rush and suddenly Fields completing passes down field for 1 td and victory. Year later 11 point lead Flores thinks they can't possibly score a td get a 2pt conversion, recover onside kick get in fg range make fg and than win coin toss to give themselves a chance to win. No Brian they can't do that if you let your defense play like men and not pus--es. We didn't deserve to win this game. Haven't been this disgusted since Blair Walsh missed fg.

I totally disagree on winners. It was another embarassing win. The Bears dominated the first half ( time of possession )and they proved why the Vikings are overated, particulary on offense ( Sam Darnold or play call ). Thanks to Nick Mullens third down conversion. Thanks to Jonathan Greenhard's sack in overtime. Otherwise, blah! blah! blah!

Ahh another loser trying be different 9-2 buddy this was supposed to be a rebuilding year and if your goin to call anybody overrated look at Washington
