All the Vikings News: September 20

Well did a good nights sleep help at all?

It was a clunker for sure. I’m excited to see how we respond against an up and coming division opponent this week.

As always, #skol

Uff da. That was rough. A rough game by the whole team at some point during it. Good news is it’s only been 2 games! With a new coach you’ve gotta expect it’s not going to be a piece of cake the whole season! Onto week 3! #skol

Kirk Cousins had a poor overall night, but he had a couple great throws to Irv Smith Jr. — the dropped deep ball and this one in the fourth quarter: pic.twitter.com/JHlljDQUHP

Kirk is a good, healthy QB who is there every week for us, he will bounce back.
I would like to see him step up in the pocket more and take a few more chances downfield.
Put this game behind us and move forward. Let’s all get behind Kirk, the team and the coaching staff. Skol

Not a good showing last night and the honeymoon is kind of over. Now we'll see what kind of head coach Kevin will be and how we bounce back!

Pressure on Kirk really got to him. We need to be better up front. Lets see what happens this week and get after the Lions.

It was 13 years ago today in 2009 that Vikings quarterback Brett Favre set an NFL record against Detroit with his 271st straight start. That broke the record of 270 DE Jim Marshall set with the Vikings from 1961-79.

Za'Darius Smith was really good against the Eagles, especially rushing up the middle. Through two games, he's been everything the Vikings hoped for when they signed him. pic.twitter.com/1G9bi5hI3G

After looking at all national power rankings, Week 3 odds, and Super Bowl probabilities, it seems all of the panic about the Vikings is fan-driven.

The non-Viking-fan masses were largely unaffected by the team's stinker on MNF. And that surprised me.
