  1. Kevin you suck. Wentz suks. The play calling suks. Your ol could not stop jerry kids. Excuses excuses. Etc etc. Brian flores. What the farge with the coverage. You need help.

  2. Let’s face it. Wentz is a disaster. He couldn’t hit an open barn door! How many piss-poor throws did he have? If we have to go forward without McCarthy Leta’s thrown the Brosmer kid in there. We simply couldn’t do worse!

  3. What are you talkin about?Saquon was rushing the ball being tackled to the ground.His elbow and ball hit the ground and the ball popped out.That is totally different than a tight end.Pretty much dropping a pass.In the end zone, he did not complete the possession of that catch.That was as clear as day for anybody to think that was a catch.They need to have their head examined

  4. Oh come on now 🫤.. I kept telling you Guys about 2 weeks ago why Philly let Carson Wentz go.. He is NOT the same Wentz we knew a good while back.. And Kevin, you don't have to make excuses for a Quarterback that has been done since the Dinosaur ages🦖.. And you can forget about about JJ McCarthy because he wouldn't have made a difference either.. No disrespect.. It doesn't make a difference because the Vikes has been an up and down team every since they had Randy Moss.. Who I think we should have won 2 or 3 Superbowls back then.. And what's up with the defense letting Philly win this game at the end 🤔.. Now the Bears 🐻 is ahead of us, let alone the Packers.. You can forget about the Lions 🦁 because they are red hot 🏈🏈

  5. Fire this Kevin guy now. Don’t blame any players, the problem is you. Vikings owner you are wasting times n money on this guy. Same shits every weeks n years for so long. Embarrassing. Kevin you are not an NFL level coach. Don’t blame anyone. It’s you the problem.

  6. Trash ass coach for real. Mr one and done. Since this guy took over and with all the talent the Vikings have on offense how many times has he called a game and put up 30 points? Games are always low scoring and close regardless of who the opponent is. like we don’t have some of the best weapons in the game. Getting sick and tired of this clown. Zimmer made playoffs every other year but at least he won playoff games. This clown has zero playoff wins and definitely not making playoffs this year.

  7. Why have you not allowed Max to shine in your Offense. It was obvious wentz was not on his game. You know that Kid can maintain the game with the fewest mistakes.You of all people should have known by the 2nd quarter.

  8. This is not a serious team. No identity, no discipline, and can’t get it done. If you keep doin what you’re doin, you’ll keep getting what ya got. Simple as that.

  9. This man don’t have a clue how to coach, he is just cosplaying as a big mind. Meanwhile 4 years in zero playoffs wins he’s still making the same excuses. Demote him to OC or at most QB coach!

  10. Could not believe Vikings offense 4 yards from a touchdown… Chose to throw the ball 3 times in a row 💩Incomplete Incomplete Incomplete. For the love of Mason – Run the Ball! Minnesota spent a ton of money on its Offensive line and RB Mason to seal TDs and victories in the Red Zone. Tough day for offense in the red zone.

  11. This guy is a terrible head coach. He is an OC. Go back to the Rams and be an OC. We need a head coach that knows how to build a championship team from the oline and dline out. We need a head coach that can spot and retain talent. We don't have an NFL caliber QB on our roster but we let Daniel Jones, and Sam Darnold go. They are 2 of the best QBs in the NFL. What a freaking joke.

  12. Wentz is the back up quarter back the number vikngs is 3-3 he have did what's asked like the other NFL teams win one loose one he 2-2 let him bounce back against San Diego … Vikings let's go
