Or, play better defense and not let it get to the final play every freaking game.

    Puddin Tane

    Yes sir, I agree!

    Drew

    @Jorge Sarti that’s what I heard too lmao.

    Colin James

    Offense can be blamed at times too… like last week frost and third quarter were trash … it all comes down to Kirk if he’s on we are Super Bowl caliber…

    Gerardo Hernandez

    😂🤣😂🤣 I know what you mean. My heart palpitations in every game.

    Dee Sam

    @Colin James yes the offense is to blame also but if the Vikes dont get to a SB it will probably be the defense’s or the kickers fault. If you cant stop anyone on defense the offense will be under to much pressure and wont be able to keep up to teams like Dallas and the Cowboys.✌

Blitz more often! .. SKOL!

When is someone going to ask why they don’t give the same “they are not gaining a yard” mentality in the middle of the field?

    YouTube Algorithmic Safety Board

    How many times have you heard Donatell say, “Defensively we are a house and we have to keep a roof on the house”? The week prior, his explanation as to why Mac Jones had a career game against the Vikings was that he made a lot of good throws (hard to miss guys they are wide open) and some of those long completions would be incomplete if thrown outside in the wind. I sh!t you not. That was his explanation. At present, one could land a Bell helicopter in the middle of the field when the Vikings are on defense. Obviously other teams are seeing the same weaknesses on tape and are exploiting it week after week. Teams won’t stop until Donatell makes some adjustments. It would also help if guys like Kendricks and Sullivan would worry about making a tackle first and stripping the ball second.

Why allow a team to move the ball freely? Why allow them to get in scoring position, then clamp down? Yards leads to points.

Tristan Krohn

Ed must be getting really really high this season then

Keith Oltmans

If we truly want to do damage in the playoffs, we can’t continue to win the way we have been especially considering the teams that will be in it (e.g., Eagles, Cowboys, 49ers/Hawks, etc.). Defense has to clamp down before getting into the red zone.

    F Rey

    Very true

Hey Ed I know we are winning but please do better for my hearts sake. Much love #skol

    Rancid Fungus

    I am sorry for what your heart and all fans’ hearts had to experience today. Ed donatell is a bum.

Drew

Loved to hear him say that he let’s hit man have freedom to do what feels right. 22 needs to be in the hall of fame someday, dude has been big time for a decade

    oS Bam

    FR think about it. he prob hasnt had the chance.

DAG Vikings

They have to play on all cylinders to beat Detroit on their TURF!

Dennis Parisien

Just keep winning and win when it really counts

Blackchism804

Come on man our defense of scheme sucks time to change some things blitz a little or run some blitzing zone

    Nena Soriano

    ever heard of punctuation, or never learned it?

    Blackchism804

    @Nena Soriano don’t play with me boy

Glad to hear they are expecting most of the secondary back from this “illness”. I wonder if this “illness” plays a big factor in the lions being favored over the Vikings.

    YouTube Algorithmic Safety Board

    It doesn’t. The Lions have key injuries and guys that are sick too. Plus, the Lions were already favored before the Vikings even listed several players as being sick yesterday. The Lions are favored because (1) They are at home and playing very well, (2) They’ve won 4 out of the last 5 and had Buffalo beat, and (3) The Vikings defense is giving up acres, not yards.

    @YouTube Algorithmic Safety Board Thanks for the clarification bro 🙏. I get where Vegas is coming from, but I tend to shy away from their predictions, especially regarding 2 division teams. I learned to take Vegas with a grain of salt last year. We walked into Detroit all high, mighty and heavily favored as per Vegas odds only to have the Lions stun us with their 1st W. I don’t drink the cool aid anymore. Especially when it comes to divisional opponents with the title and playoff implications on the line for both teams. Anything can happen. Either ways I’m expecting a last minute thriller, as has been norm for the past 2 seasons.

    Dee Sam

    @YouTube Algorithmic Safety Board lmaoff. You comment that the Vikings are giving up acres not yards is hilarious!! I am a Vikings fan but that is a good one and true as well. 🤣✌🤣🤣🤣

    YouTube Algorithmic Safety Board

    @3quest O I agree. Divisional teams shouldn’t be clear favorites unless there are some injuries at key positions. Because division teams face each other twice a season and know each other so well, games are typically tight.

John Carolan

He is responsible for the worst defense in franchise history. Needs to be fired at the end of the season!

David Oldham

Blitz for God sake put some pressure on the opposing QB and help the secondary for once peterson has the smarts to defend the redzone but not the legs to cover mid field we are getting torched in pass defence every game let’s get nasty starting at detroit

    casey James

    Preach

Dee Sam

I love how Donashell says that he loves it when players have to make big plays at the end to win. He never explains why they give up acres of yards every game.

casey James

Wonder how that whole situational football will work on team’s like the Eagle’s, Cowboy’s and 49ers in the Playoffs?😂
I’ll blame Donatell in the end

Granger Death

He needs to do better as a defensive coach cause our defense is not very good

Tana Chum

I think this defense can blow out people if we play aggressive. Maybe playoff we can do that 😎

Stumped

Blitz and play man coverage more often. Not ALL the time just more often. I remember him saying his goal was to frustrate the QB as much as possible. Hard to do that when you do the same thing every play.

supremetrain

I love how he was so surprised to hear that stat because I know I was lol props to our boys making plays when the moment is greatest 🙌
