46 comments

1. Sounds like KOC isn't going to evolve and play to JJs strength but force him to learn his style which is not going to win in the playoffs especially outside in the cold.

2. He talks, but yet he says nothing 😡 fire O'Connell!

3. not again rodgers is calling don't answer

4. Sam Darnold getting ready for a playoff game as the 1 seed this week

   KOC and Kwesi really fucked up

5. I have never heard someone speak so much and say so little.

6. I'm sick of this guys dialog….sick of it ….should allow him 5 min time…because all the shit he talks starting to stink up the place ….TIME TO MOVE ON….

7. Addison is fine …we are not all angels ….

8. Jordan Addison is in trouble again oh man what a disappointment dang dang it

9. Judd is so necessary man. The only person in the room willing to ask tough questions

10. The Vikings are a Total loser organization.the

11. Pizza HUT!

12. Minnesota Vikings, welcome the the NFC north basement for the foreseeable future. You have the worst HC and QB in the division. Good luck

13. I hope you’re really watching these NFL playoff games and learn from them in your play calling situational football. I hope you do honestly let’s go come on Kevin O’Connell hopefully we will have a good draft and see where you can improve

14. is there no structured order as to when sports reporters ask their questions? seems like every single time they are battling for the next question and cutting each other off. like do we need to go back to the grade school method of raise your hand and the coach can choose the next person??

15. Are the people in these comments even Vikings fans? Yikes.

16. So happy last night cheering on Drake Maye & the Patriots win. The Vikings arn’t a serious organization & will never win 🏆I’m sorry guys, but I’m out until KOC, Kwesi & JJ are gone

17. The Vikings lost four consecutive super bowls and five NFC championship games and let's not forget the Mike Lynn Walker debacle amongst other disasters iam pulling hard for Seattle and darnold and getting rid of the dei hire from Ghana kwesi.what

18. I love 3 as a player but man he cant stay out of trouble lol

19. You should be gone

20. Crazy how we beat the bears 1st game of the year but yet we are sitting at home right now & they are in the divisional. Somehow someway we always end up on this side of the fence. Tuff man.

21. Judd is Sports Dad for a reason. He is a dawg! Go Judd! He’s the man!

22. You KOC didn't do enough. Not "we" learn the importance of running the ball or next year you'll be fired

23. "Best fans in the league" yet you continue to fail us!!!

24. He’s been saying “I have to be better” for the past 4 years. When are you actually going to get better?!

25. KOC will be working at KFC telling the drive thru customers in detail all about the chicken

26. Has he said “First and Foremost” yet

27. Brian FLORES VIKINGS ASSINANT HEAD COACH

28. That game lost by kick coverage. Just say it lol.

29. JA needs to get himself corrected hes playing a high level high paying job/sport. 🙄 hes not paid shitty. Brother needs to keep his ass outta trouble and stop doing dumb ass shit. Hes fuckin up bad

30. Addison is a distraction through and through. Just who he is but a great football player. Tough decision coming up

31. We need to continue to develop and invest on JJM. I firmly believe JJM will take us to the Superbowl.

32. If Bflo leaves I’m not watching Vikings football next year

33. He’s absolutely clueless

34. mccarthy was the 2nd youngest qb this year. That's with him being drafted a year before the youngest guy…

35. These comments are terrible man

36. I can't believe KOC just can't let it go about JJ missing practice for the birth of his son. Week 2 is 100% on KOC. If it bothered him that badly that JJ missed practice. He should of benched him for that game. If he would have done that JJ wouldn't have gotten injured that week. It's also on KOC that he let him play and then didn't pull him when he injured his ankle.

    It's also on KOC, being so stubborn on his scheme. Trying to force a young QB into his scheme. Instead of modifying the scheme to help the growth of the QB. He should have leaned heavy into the run game way before week 14. Any team that is having a lot of success, especially in the play offs, has a good run game. You can't just run the ball a couple times and then if you don't have success, bail on it. You need to run the ball and scheme so you are quickly getting the ball out of the young QB's hand. Then as the QB gets more confidence and experience work more of the deep game into the scheme.

37. Word salad.

38. There are no Daniel Jones types out there available that wont get straight up starting jobs. Jones left because he knew the Colts job was gonna be way easier to win than beating out JJ.

39. Why not play McCarthy in preseason? Oh ya you didn't want to show your ego. You got one more year. Tired of your locker room speaches. Watch Darnold win a Superbowl.

40. 14:33 KOC was covering for McCarthy and how bad he was playing. That’s why what you hear during press conferences is about 80% BS and 20% truth.

41. Draft a really good running back jones to fragile

42. Addison is now another miss for Kwesi. He’s like 3 for 22 in the draft. And traded away lots of draft capital.

43. Talk about being able to fill up 27 minutes of time with words but not say anything at all.

44. Love you KO but you gotta get that hair transplant my guy….it's time

45. KOC wants feedback???? Stop calling plays.

46. Fire TJ Dropenson, he's trash
