🚨SEASON OVER?! Vikings-Steelers INSTANT REACTION!

🚨SEASON OVER?! Vikings-Steelers INSTANT REACTION!

[Music] What’s going on everybody? Welcome in the Vikings now by chat sports. My name is Patrick Seatman here giving you guys my instant reaction to the 24-21 loss where the Vikings lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Dublin, Ireland. This was a hideous game. Started off incredibly slow. Tried to come back in the fourth quarter. you had a chance late, but that at the end of the day, it was not good enough. Clearly, a lot of problems with this team. Um, injuries probably the biggest factor why you lost this game. You lost Brian O’Neal early, you lost Ryan Kelly, you were already without Donovan Jackson, you were without Blake Cashman, Andrew Van Ginkle, Jonathan Gennard was in and out of the lineup. And it’s just a lot to handle going against a good Steelers defensive line. Um, but overall wasn’t good enough. And there’s a lot of reasons besides that, not just the injuries. and uh you fought the two and two in a game where you needed this. Like you look at the schedule after the buy, it is a gauntlet and you needed to get this one today. This is a heartbreaking loss. But this is why you also hit that subscribe button. I do want to say thank you. We crossed over 62,000 subscribers during a watch party. So I appreciate all of you guys uh for hitting that subscribe button. But if you guys haven’t just yet, change it. Hit that subscribe button today and we’ll keep you guys posted with everything you need to know around the Minnesota Vikings and maybe we can hit 62 and a half thousand subs off today’s show. All right, let’s start off talking about the quarterback. Um very Carson WCY game 30 of 46, 350 yards, two touchdowns. That looks great. You’ll take that. But the turnovers were an issue. He took six sacks today. I felt like, you know, obviously some of those weren’t all on him. Um the offensive line was just getting their ass handed to him up front. Um actually caught seven sacks today for Carson Wentz, but he was inaccurate with the football a couple times. Um clearly turnovers were an issue today. Like the two picks he threw were bad. Um he also lost a fumble today, which he got lucky that it didn’t land in the Steelers lap, but he he just wasn’t good enough. And you know, he is a backup quarterback. And I think today’s performance put the whole conversation of, you know, who’s the quarterback after the buy once JJ’s healthy. It is no doub uh no doubt JJ McCarthy, you got to let that kid develop. We know what Wentz is. This is who he is. Like last week against the Bengals, when you’re on script, when everything’s going well, yes, he can play some good quarterback play, but today when it’s going wrong, backs against the wall a little bit, like you even just saw like the ball was coming out of his hand, it looked wobbly, he was throwing behind receivers a whole lot. He just wasn’t that good today. But also, the offense as a whole wasn’t good. He couldn’t really establish any sort of run game. Jordan Mason, like he looked good in his carries, but you got really no push up front. Um, like as a as a as a team, he ran the ball 20 times for 70 yards, three and a half yards per carry, that’s not good enough, especially when you have a backup quarterback. When you have backup offensive lineman in, if you can’t run the football, you’re just going to behind the eightball the entire game. And also the offensive line, like it’s tough to even blame them because like Michael Jurgens had to step in. You know, Justin School, I think, is the worst offensive lineman in the league. He had to step in and that also just had a ripple effect on the entire offense because in the offense the whole game, like I’m sure once you go back and watch the film, TJ Watt, you have to chip him every single play. Like the Vikings over and over again had a tight end or a slot receiver in tight and he would just chip him. and TJ Watt, like that’s still him making an impact because you got to give him four eyeballs every single play when you lose Brian O’Neal, but if you would have had Brian O’Neal, you could have left him on that island a little more. So, that injury was massive. And then obviously Ryan Kelly going down. Um, also with both those injuries, I fully expect them not to play next week. Um, Brian O’Neal, he was down on this uh field for a long time. Everybody was taking a knee and Ryan Kelly, another concussion. I I honestly wonder if he might retire. like he’s had five concussions over the last three seasons. He’s had two in the last three weeks. This has been a problem for him. I hope all is good. Like hoping for the best, but I would assume he is for sure not out there next week and he probably I mean there’s a chance he’s not even there week seven, but the offensive line wasn’t good. Carson Wentz wasn’t good. I mean, this guy showed up. Uh Jefferson was fantastic. He slipped on that one play at the end of the first half, which was obviously a big- time blow, but I actually like the way they were using him a little more, getting him going over the middle of the field, those like short inb breaking routes. He was cooking early and that’s how you kind of manufactured a run game early in this game. Hit your back foot, get it out the number 18 quick, but it just wasn’t enough. But then you also went away from that in the third quarter. Like this guy, I’m pretty sure had eight catches in the first half for 99 yards, finishes the game with 10 for 126. Like, where was he in the third quarter? Um Jordan Addison had a good game. Um obviously a big chunk of this came off that massive play at the end. Um but I mean he was solid. You just got to get him more involved. He had that one drop which was uh you know bad but also just get this guy involved more. Um you know he’s a hell of a player. It’s nice to have him back but again this offense just as a whole needs to be better. When you have a backup quarterback, three backup offensive linemen still no Aaron Jones. Like it’s just tough. Um do want to give a massive shout out to this guy though. Uh Jaylen Redmond played his tail off, had two big-time sacks. He played some great football out there today. So, massive shout out to Jaylen Redmond. He is one of the best stories, you know, within this Vikings organization. He was a UFFL player uh uh just about a year and a half ago, and now he’s out here making massive plays for this team. Uh didn’t really see a whole lot from Isaiah Rogers today. Did have that one block kick, which was massive in the first half, but also missed a couple of tackles. um definitely was not his 99.9 overall PFF grade day, but it was still just uh just overall not good enough top to bottom. And you know, I hate using the injury card as an excuse, but you think about your top 10 players on this team. Van Ginkle, Cashman, O’Neal, Donovan Jackson, Ryan Kelly, like those are five starters who are also not just like like a Jaylen Naylor starter. Those are huge, huge pieces of this system and they’re all done. Um hopefully we get a lot of those guys back and you know, you’re just in the mud right now. You’re two and two. You should be 4 and 0. Um should have freaking won today. The Steelers are still not a good team. Um I don’t know. We’ll dive into the more here in just a second, but you guys let me know why did the Vikings lose down below.

But shout out to Prize Fix for sponsoring today’s show, Prize Fix. It’s good to be right. Um I’m just flatly pissed off. You just didn’t come out ready to play. Um you get a three and out, start the game great. I think the defense is going to be cooking. You storm down the field offensively. Got to settle for three. And then also Aaron Rogers. This guy’s not that good anymore. But also Rogers, he’s almost like a He’s almost like he feels like an all-time great MMA fighter who’s got like a broken arm or something where like he’s clearly hobbled, but like still when you allow him to have a clean pocket, no pressure, he can still spin the damn football. Um, and he was deciphering what Flores was doing at a pretty high level today. You know, if you take out that one 80 yard touchdown, the DK Metaf, he was 17 to 21 for 120 yards and no touchdowns. like he had that one massive play. Shout out to Rogers. He did just enough, but it’s not like he, you know, impressed me. What was concerning though, late in the game, the Vikings could not stop the run. Uh Kenneth Gainwell, 19 carries, 99 yards, almost had 100 on the day, two rushing touchdowns. I don’t want to give the defense an out, but when you’re on the football field that much, that’s going to happen. Like, this game felt so much like the Falcons game where it’s like the Vikings were just kind of hanging around. Now, obviously in this game, you had that breakthrough late in the fourth quarter, but the defense was just kind of keeping you in the game and then they started giving up a lot in the ground, but they still like the defense still got to stop late. The defense handed the offense the football with 50 seconds left, no timeouts, and a chance to go tie the game. And you couldn’t do it. And I I understand defense didn’t play as well as I thought they would, but this was not on the defense. This was on the offense today. you turn the ball over three times or two times, two bad picks, like you’re not going to win a lot of football games like that. And you know, DK DK Metaf is a loser. Um, this guy, he he loves talking noise when he’s up 21 to six. He loves talking noise when they’re up two scores. This guy keeps his mouth shut when it’s a tie game. Um, he baited Dallas Turner into a horrible penalty where he was just grabbing his face mask. I mean, they the referees literally let DK Metaf and Jaylen Ramsey act like fools the entire game after each play. They’re doing extra stuff. Just not a fan of these guys. Um, and the Vikings interior offensive line, they’re terrible. Um, Michael Jurgens is not a pro. Uh, Blake Brandell is awful. Justin School is definitely not a pro, but Keano Benton killed him from the interior. Three quarterbacks hits, one and a half sacks. And you know, TJ Watt, even though the stat sheet, he did not fill it up today, this dude’s impact was unbelievable cuz once Brian O’Neal went out, the Vikings had to chip or put a tight end on his side every single damn play. Wasn’t good enough. Offense got behind sticks. Also, the pre- snap offensive penalties th those have to get shered up. Like KC, offensive genius. Never really see this with McVey. You never really see this with Lefor Shanahan. They never have these pre- snap offensive penalties. Now understand when you have three backup offensive linemen in it’s going to be tough but uh so top to bottom team wasn’t good today. Um you laid an egg and now you’re behind the eightball because now also you got the Cleveland Browns next week. You’re staying across the pond. Hopefully that gives you an advantage but the Cleveland Browns got an unreal defensive line. They know how to get after the quarterback. The rest of their team stinks. But if they are able to get home and Miles Garrett, whatever you think of TJ Watt, Miles Garrett is that times two. He is one of the best players in the NFL. He is the best defensive player in the league. He is one of the best defensive players of all time. And he has been on a tear this year. So if you’re not ready to go O’Neal, which he probably won’t be, you got to find a way to navigate, you know, Miles Garrett a little better than you did TJ Watt cuz you know, listen, you just put a guy over there on TJ Watt’s side. Yeah, he didn’t wreck the game, but still having to do that over and over and over again, the offense just couldn’t get anything going. So, it’s a disappointing loss. Um, no doubt about it. Uh, don’t think the season’s over. It’s going to be a long year. Um, if you guys remember, the Eagles were two and two last year. When the Vikings made the NFC Championship, uh, game in 2017, they started off two and two, so they can go on a run. Um, but if you guys made it to the end of today’s show, just hit me with a skull down below in the comment section, and we’ll see you guys next time. As always, let’s go bikes. [Music]
