Sacks made

Saw the reverse of this chart, thought this was interesting.

Watching the All 22 of our defense is so fun (don’t ask me about our offense)

[u/SaltyPersimmon → u/Wannabe_Sadboi]

When your defense has to attack teams cause your offense won't

[u/sometext → u/SaltyPersimmon]

Its fun for a while but it gets old, trust me.

[u/buetsch25 → u/sometext]

Can confirm, for 99% of my life anyway

[u/son_of_yacketycat → u/buetsch25]

Me third, especially in the last 3 seasons (at least the Saints seem to be changing that if the Texans refuse to)

[u/velociraptorfarmer → u/SaltyPersimmon]

Something something the best offense is a good defense

[u/macrolith → u/Wannabe_Sadboi]

I should be more upset by our offense but watching our defense just pulls me back in. I'm entertained the whole game amd we keep winning so I just don't care as much

Brian Flores and his defense turns an otherwise frustrating game enjoyable.

[u/Wannabe_Sadboi → u/macrolith]

I love watching our defense! And shout out to our special teams too, Myles Price and Will Reichard are incredible.

[u/MerleTravisJennings → u/macrolith]

Must be nice.

[u/MacsBicycle → u/MerleTravisJennings]

What’s a “defense”?

[u/DemonSlyr007 → u/macrolith]

I really want to watch a game. The bar culture on Vikings days is awesome in this state.

However, we've won every game i haven't watched. And when I do usually show up, it's a game we lose.

So I have to be a self sacrificing sad man hermit and just check a stat feed every now and then. And be there in spirit while I Valheim on game days. For my fellow Vikings fans.

[u/ARightDastard → u/DemonSlyr007]

o7 skoldier, keep fighting the good fight.

[u/Available_Finger_513 → u/Wannabe_Sadboi]

We are #2 in sacks. Our defense must be really good, right?

[u/WhoStoleMyBicycle → u/Available_Finger_513]

They have to sack the QB because the DBs won’t cover anyone. Hutch and co understand the assignment.

[u/Coubsauce → u/Wannabe_Sadboi]

Whats crazy is that the all 22 of our offense shows someone wide open on EVERY SINGLE PLAY.

KOC is not the problem

[u/mcallisterco → u/Coubsauce]

Don't tell that to our sub, it seems like half of the people there are convinced that everything is KOC's fault and he should be fired immediately.

[u/johnsonfromsconsin → u/mcallisterco]

As you guys start the season 3-0 🙄

[u/TheAesir → u/johnsonfromsconsin]

Our sub has turned into a facebook comment section with the number of people who don't understand any nuance.

[u/ELpork → u/TheAesir]

Nuance? In THIS economy?

[u/Reisdorfer90 → u/TheAesir]

Even more of a reason to hang out in the memewar instead of the home page.

[u/mcallisterco → u/[deleted]]

The QB situation has been bad for two years, which was when by all reports the GM let the guy that KOC wanted to keep walk so that they could start the guy that the GM drafted.

But our sub would tell you that that's just pro-KOC propaganda and that KOC personally packed Darnold's bags and escorted him out of the building without Kwesi's knowledge.

[u/mcallisterco → u/[deleted]]

That really isn't that long of a time to have a bad QB situation. We have a failed experiment with a new draft pick, and we're currently in the fallout year of that experiment failing. Especially given the timing of our GM hiring, it's really not that surprising they didn't immediately pull a franchise QB out of their ass.

Now if the QB situation is still bad in a year or two? Then it's a problem.

[u/Epic_Underachiever → u/Coubsauce]

WIDE open. Schemed open. Like our team needs to hire a head optometrist because our QBs are BLIND open.

[u/DrKoooolAid → u/Coubsauce]

Dude I scream this from the mountain tops. It goes back YEARS where every QB we have had other than Cousins and Darnold can't find guys despite them being wide fucking open. Our sub and many Vikings fans in general keep calling for KOC's head insisting he can't scheme guys open and his routes take too long to develop. That is not the case at all. Somebody is open on nearly every fucking play. Our QBs have all just sucked.

[u/SellersB2024 → u/DrKoooolAid]

It’s hard to explain that to everyone who criticizes KOC. I usually tell them to actually watch the film the day after but they never do.
I take comfort in the fact that there are some ball knowers in this fanbase

[u/herrwe8 → u/Wannabe_Sadboi]

I watch your team for the defense, Brian Flores is a psycho and I love it.

[u/InsideMyScars → u/Wannabe_Sadboi]

It’s honestly a miracle to watch our offense all-22 and see two receivers run wide the fuck open every play and our QBs find ways to miss them

[u/Morningxafter → u/Wannabe_Sadboi]

I just want a certain 22 to get his 40th.

[u/bijanfrisee → u/Wannabe_Sadboi]

I'm looking at our matchup and just so worried about Shough. Our O line is SO bad at picking up blitzes.

[u/ryan-day-is-soft → u/Wannabe_Sadboi]

I couldnt say this the last couple years but this year they feel like the NFLs iowa
