He’s gonna have 48 yards and no scores and we all won’t know what to think. Then next week Tommy Bahama is gonna have 172 yards and 3 scores and we’ll be back to being confused
Considering Kirk Cousins always lights us up and we just gave up 35 to the lions? Yeah, I see a 200+ 3TD game for Jefferson. I sure hope our offense is movin! We're going to need to put up some points.
We still don’t know if our good offense today was a result of playing a 3 win team’s shit-tier defense.
It’s gonna be any given Sunday for us most of the season. We can beat anybody and get beat by anybody
Yeah with a day to sleep on it I’m choosing to believe that the Lions had a great offseason and are a low tier playoff team and we just don’t have the context to see it yet on Week 1
Last year we beat them 44-6, they looked a LOT better yesterday so I’m thinking they’re more middle of the pack than the 3 wins from last year.
Also their pass rush was legit, Hurts was making something out of nothing all day, the OL needs to be more consistent.
The defense did not look great though, carved us up on the ground and it seemed like we barely got a pass rush. I’ll give Gannon another couple of games since week 1 with no tackling is usually sloppy, and we have a lot of new faces, but holy shit he needs to scheme better ASAP
The Lions aren’t necessarily a playoff team but by the end of the season I could see them floating around the .500 mark so imo we beat a solid team. But yea next week will be a much tougher test.
That was also the Lions Super Bowl. They completely sold out to win that game and you can only get that type of emotional peak a couple times a year. First sell out in that stadium in a few years too. Campbell had to do it with all the hype and they still couldn't pull it off.
There might be some recency bias here. Lions might not be as bad as we think and we took their best shot and survived. I think we can hang with Minny, we'll see.
As much as people have made a big deal about Hurts this off-season, I dare say we might be fucked no matter who we play if Gannon can’t make use of all the talent we have on defense
its not justin jefferson whos gonna murder us. Its the vikings RBs and TEs.
Our coverage looked outstanding on the outside for the most part. But my god TJ Edwards cannot cover at all, he is just too slow. I don't care how smart he is.
Vikings fan here, rest easy on the TEs, Irv Smith Jr is the only TE we have worth a damn and he was pretty mediocre yesterday. IMO one of the worst TE rooms in the NFL
Pass rush still blows but the lion ol is top tier with us so not to overly concerned they needed to knocc off the rust we’ll be fine gardner looked good at times and really so did everyone at some point and time just gotta get it together coaches will get us straight we’ll be fine might even be a blow out next week and we go 2-0
Shit without their too 2 gaurds we still only managed one sacc and one of them is big V we know how good he is I would rather say there ol is good than our dl is that bad
Packers secondary is arguably better than the Eagles and Jefferson’s on his way to being the best WR in the NFL for a reason. No one can cover him consistently
whether it’s him or kupp i don’t understand why teams don’t completely sell out to stop them. their QBs stay locked onto em without looking at anyone else. i’d rather let theilen get 400 yards than let JJ destroy us
We played just okay against a very weak team and are facing a team who just dominated the Packers.
Not giving up on the Eagles but you'd be a fool not to see some cause for concern.
Yea you heard me right have you not seen our roster compared to last year? It was one game lets see how it plays out before we go shaking in our boots.
32-6 against the Falcons to open the season last year was against a better team than the Lions and with a worse roster than this year's. not sure what about this was inspiring other than that the offense didn't choke when they had the opportunity to do so
Im not saying this game was pretty at all. Youre right honestly. Idk all im saying is we should have a good team going forward. People are already looking for reasons to upset their expectations too early in the season. Relax and enjoy whats to hopefully come.
This defensive scheme let up 31 points against Jared Goff and a good, not great running back and a young, unproven WR corps.
Next week we play a QB who routinely puts up good numbers, a WR who just dropped 150+ yards against the Packers and a great running back. Gannon is going to get his shit wrecked.
I feel like we didn't get to the QB much or didn't have enough pressure against Goff. Really need our d-line to at least pressure Cousins or make him think twice about trying to stay in the pocket to get the ball to his playmakers. Hopefully we learn from this week and shake that rust off
They gotta get the protection calls better, and they need more check downs. The lions were doing 7 and 8 man blitz’s vs 5 man or 5 man + chip block protection packages almost every third down.
Call me crazy but I think our secondary actually played pretty great? One series in particular we had 3 straight PBU’s to force a punt…even Charks TD was well-covered. The run defense is the new concern for me.
Kinda unrelated but why do Vikings fans hate us? We literally just beat their asses. No shit ot rules, bad calls… we literally just destroyed them. What’s to hate about that
Vikings fan here. We don't hate you, we just dislike you :D
The playoff beatdown was fair and square. The "hate category" is more like packers and the saints.
We’re gunna have to win 56-49
But at least we won't have allowed a big play.
I swear, if Hurts doesn’t clean up his poor tackling we’re going to get motorboated…
Only if we get lucky
When did Jalen switch to defense?
He didn’t……But some people want to pin any defects on the team on him….
How in the world did 32 people up vote that post? When did Jalen start being a two-way player?
twas but a joke. sarcasm
r/woooosh
😂😂😂
Unacceptable. I will allow nothing less than 69 to 42 with 0 left on the clock.
Nice
But it's also primetime Cousins.
And night time Cousins, he doesn't do very well in night games
He’s gonna have 48 yards and no scores and we all won’t know what to think. Then next week Tommy Bahama is gonna have 172 yards and 3 scores and we’ll be back to being confused
This is the Philly way
Aka fans don't know shit
Tbf, Tommy Bahama has been due a breakout game for a while now. We all saw that potential at the University of Nassau.
Considering Kirk Cousins always lights us up and we just gave up 35 to the lions? Yeah, I see a 200+ 3TD game for Jefferson. I sure hope our offense is movin! We're going to need to put up some points.
We still don’t know if our good offense today was a result of playing a 3 win team’s shit-tier defense. It’s gonna be any given Sunday for us most of the season. We can beat anybody and get beat by anybody
Don't sleep on the lions this year bro is all I'm gonna aay.
Lions seemed competitive at least.
Yeah with a day to sleep on it I’m choosing to believe that the Lions had a great offseason and are a low tier playoff team and we just don’t have the context to see it yet on Week 1
Last year we beat them 44-6, they looked a LOT better yesterday so I’m thinking they’re more middle of the pack than the 3 wins from last year.

The Lions aren’t necessarily a playoff team but by the end of the season I could see them floating around the .500 mark so imo we beat a solid team. But yea next week will be a much tougher test.
It’s Kirk Cousins on MNF. Either we’ll find a way to win, or he’ll find a way to lose
Exactly. It's an L next week. Gannon is gonna get us murdered.
Jesus relax
Nah I'm not Jesus
That was also the Lions Super Bowl. They completely sold out to win that game and you can only get that type of emotional peak a couple times a year. First sell out in that stadium in a few years too. Campbell had to do it with all the hype and they still couldn't pull it off.
What does that have to do with the Vikings who are a more talented team?
There might be some recency bias here. Lions might not be as bad as we think and we took their best shot and survived. I think we can hang with Minny, we'll see.
Reagor revenge game
So what? 2 catches?
33 total yards 😤
Positive PR yardage 😤😤😤
only 1 muff 🥶
For the season?
He's going to return to the hous....and it's a 7 yard return
He'll have 7 catches for 100 yards, knowing how ex-Eagles often prove us wrong.
I saw a lot of potential this week, but potential will get its ass whooped next week if it doesn’t become execution.
Not to mention Dalvin Cook We can't tackle for shit, I can see him going for 150+
He’s the one I’m really worried about.
As much as people have made a big deal about Hurts this off-season, I dare say we might be fucked no matter who we play if Gannon can’t make use of all the talent we have on defense
I won’t lie, this is the first time I’ve been worried to face the Vikings in a while. Defensive game plan needs to be on point this week.
So 10 yard cushions all game? Gotcha.
Rush 4, drop 7 back. That seems to be the only gameplan.
hey now he called a 0 blitz one time
After what they did to the Packers today, you'd be crazy not be at least a little bit worried.
We are nothing like the Packers, toughen up
Our offense will be cooking, but our defense just needs to keep up or else we’re fucked
its not justin jefferson whos gonna murder us. Its the vikings RBs and TEs. Our coverage looked outstanding on the outside for the most part. But my god TJ Edwards cannot cover at all, he is just too slow. I don't care how smart he is.
The dline not getting home didn’t help him
Very true, even more we know he doesn’t have sideline to sideline speed so Gannon did him dirty too
Vikings fan here, rest easy on the TEs, Irv Smith Jr is the only TE we have worth a damn and he was pretty mediocre yesterday. IMO one of the worst TE rooms in the NFL
Pass rush still blows but the lion ol is top tier with us so not to overly concerned they needed to knocc off the rust we’ll be fine gardner looked good at times and really so did everyone at some point and time just gotta get it together coaches will get us straight we’ll be fine might even be a blow out next week and we go 2-0
How can it be top tier without their 2 top guards.
Shit without their too 2 gaurds we still only managed one sacc and one of them is big V we know how good he is I would rather say there ol is good than our dl is that bad
Big V was one of the OL out
We have two amazing CBs. If we can't stop him nobody can
I mean packers might have the best secondary in the league and we saw what happened today
I don’t know about that one chief
Why not
Packers secondary is arguably better than the Eagles and Jefferson’s on his way to being the best WR in the NFL for a reason. No one can cover him consistently
whether it’s him or kupp i don’t understand why teams don’t completely sell out to stop them. their QBs stay locked onto em without looking at anyone else. i’d rather let theilen get 400 yards than let JJ destroy us
Becuz selling out to stop him will get you burnt.. you sell out to stop the QB
i don’t think green bay was selling out to stop anyone tbh they just got killed
The secondary isn’t what wins is this game it is the line.. you stop Cousins not Jefferson
we have a good CB and a serviceable CB
Slay is arguably the best in the NFL
DJ Chark beat him real easy for that TD
Not easily at all, considering Slay was right on top of him. It just was a really great catch that he breaks up 9/10 times.
I don’t even feel confident talking shit this week because of how close this game was. So many weaknesses were exposed
Week 1
Hopefully that’s all it is
The good news is I have Jefferson on my fantasy team. The bad news is he's gonna go off for like 209 yards and 3TDs against us
JJ AND reagor
Damn everybody really going down hard on this team after game 1. Have some confidence were miles ahead from where we were these past years.
It’s pathetic
We played just okay against a very weak team and are facing a team who just dominated the Packers. Not giving up on the Eagles but you'd be a fool not to see some cause for concern.
4 rushing TDs and a pick six *only* winning by a field goal against a 3 win team from last season is "miles ahead" from last season?
Yea you heard me right have you not seen our roster compared to last year? It was one game lets see how it plays out before we go shaking in our boots.
32-6 against the Falcons to open the season last year was against a better team than the Lions and with a worse roster than this year's. not sure what about this was inspiring other than that the offense didn't choke when they had the opportunity to do so

*jalen reagor
Gannon better do some Oklahoma drills in practice or Dalvin Cook going to have a career day with our run d
It's still Kirk Cousins.
Yes, who always kicks the Eagles asses
This defensive scheme let up 31 points against Jared Goff and a good, not great running back and a young, unproven WR corps. Next week we play a QB who routinely puts up good numbers, a WR who just dropped 150+ yards against the Packers and a great running back. Gannon is going to get his shit wrecked.
Nah, Slay’s gonna shut him down! Right guys? …right?
And only winning by 3
As a Justin Jefferson owner I’m slightly happier about this possibility.
Since we are talking trends, isn’t Week 1 always a crapshoot because Week 2 features game tape?
Shhhh let these noob bitch and moan
Everytime I hear his name I get pissed all over again.. the Easiest pick of Howie's career
I feel like we didn't get to the QB much or didn't have enough pressure against Goff. Really need our d-line to at least pressure Cousins or make him think twice about trying to stay in the pocket to get the ball to his playmakers. Hopefully we learn from this week and shake that rust off
This didn't age well
I see this as a week to figure out how to get the ball to Devontae Smith for fkc sake
The Vikings are gonna kick our ass. We barely beat the Lions when they were down both starting guards.
[удалено]
He wanted to move to safety, the team isn’t forcing him.
I wonder if I'll ever get to the point where I can talk and appreciate JJ without getting that sinking feeling in my gut.
Cousins was chilling in the pocket all day, y’all are drama queens
Eagles defense allowed a not great lions team to put up 35. Fire gannon
I think the right side should be: Lions putting up 35 on the Eagles.
They gotta get the protection calls better, and they need more check downs. The lions were doing 7 and 8 man blitz’s vs 5 man or 5 man + chip block protection packages almost every third down.
Call me crazy but I think our secondary actually played pretty great? One series in particular we had 3 straight PBU’s to force a punt…even Charks TD was well-covered. The run defense is the new concern for me.
And they play AJ mothafuckin Brown
Kinda unrelated but why do Vikings fans hate us? We literally just beat their asses. No shit ot rules, bad calls… we literally just destroyed them. What’s to hate about that
Vikings fan here. We don't hate you, we just dislike you :D The playoff beatdown was fair and square. The "hate category" is more like packers and the saints.
There’s probably not any of y’all that actually hate us, it’s just y’all we’re hella excited after that crazy touchdown to win the game before
Howie giveth and Howie taketh away
I'm for sure gonna start Jefferson in Fantasy. I'll also stsrt our defense cause i think they'll have a couple sacks and a few takeaways
>I'm for sure gonna start Jefferson in Fantasy daring today, aren't we?
Put reagor in! (zero catches last week)
