Great coach, owned 100% of all results of the game. Watch the tape, take the lessons and move forward. It’s only a loss if we don’t learn anything from this game. Shake it off, grow and move forward.

    @Dante Booker wow, you’d think we were 1 -16 with that view, geez…2 games give ’em a little slack…..just sayin’

    Dale E

    @Dante Booker Shoulda hired Hackett for sure right?

    Spindog

    I figured out the new Vikings defense,… “Prevent”,..CB and safeties played horrible. This might get ugly quick.

    Spindog

    He’ll say the same thing next week after a Detroit loss,…” It’s my fault”,..never want to hurt anyone’s feelings or be honest. Your QB making $50 million a year to come thru in those high pressure moments and KOC days,..” it’s my fault”,..gonna get old quick,…”my fault”

Hard to play in Philly that crowd is amazing really brought out the weaknesses on how prepared the Vikings were

Kiekokat

We allowed 500 yards of offense. Too much soft cover two with no man coverages. Or SS blitzes. Not sure why our CB never jump routes the plays were so telegraphed coming from the eagles. Also how many blown up RB screens do you run before you change it up.. I will say Kirk looked good when allowed to Audible out of the play based on what the defense was giving him.. two things PP had a rough game and Hicks… Man he failed in coverage and open field tackling. They played for each other tonight. We did not. That game was winnable tonight for the Vikings. We miss great opportunities today. One game learn and come back ready for a tough lions team. Skol

    It hurts. Skol power till I die.

    Derek

    Hicks sucked last game as well. Dude couldn’t tackle to save his life, I’m counting the days until Asamoah gets the start and shows out

    Briana W

    @Derek I thought/heard he had 14 tackles

Josh Skolvik

I love this guy! We are going to win with him.

    zach rizzo

    Kirk is owed one season with KOC, but they really need to get their own guy by next season

    Spindog

    I love how he doesn’t address crappy QB play!!! Says it was his fault. Paying QB $50 million a year to come thru and produce in those pressure moments,..not fold.

    Jesushates6969

    No you’re not

Skolney

Rookie coaches have to learn and grow just like rookie players. We’ll be fine.

    Skolney

    @Briana W A rookie coach? At least 2 years unless year 1 is a Les Steckel type fiasco.

    Briana W

    @Skolney even with this “group of talented players”?

    Skolney

    @Briana W Yes. They weren’t going 17-0 BTW.

    Kenneth Fox

    This is where I disagree. Our defense stunk last night and our DC is about as experienced as they come. Our talent is subpar as it was last year. KAM thought a new coaching staff would be the X factor this year. But I hope he is finding out the Vikings lack overall talent to compete at a high level in this league. They need an overhaul to avoid years of .500 ball….or worse.

Clinton Reisig

Respect the honesty in the new coaching staff. RESPECT

    Spindog

    Mr nice guy!!! Doesn’t address crappy QB playmaking and decisions. Just says “it’s my fault”.

Ucantseemeverywell

they had our number. whenever we got to the qb hurts made a significant pass, it felt like zimmer all over again. we will learn a lot from this and come back stronger

    Pariah

    @ALPHA Fitter No they didn’t, Eagles were just content to kill the clock, they didn’t need to do anything because the defense had your number

    turrski

    @Pariah this^ that defense did not change at all, all game. Silly

    Rich Deschamps

    @Pariah we had the ball inside the 20 twice to make it a 1 point game and kirk threw 2 picks he’s a bum

Rory S

I’m sure a lot of it is just recency bias, but I could probably only name a couple games in the entire Zimmer era where I thought the team as a whole played this poorly. There were zero redeeming qualities, almost every single player sucked and the coaching was awful. I’m glad Zimmer’s gone, but my god this was just a complete failure on every level (outside of the random field goal block or fluky pick that really didn’t matter when it happened). Can’t draw too many conclusions on this just as you can’t for week 1, but this was beyond rough.

    Arvie Weathers

    Wow its only week 2 bro lol. So im taken it when we won week 1 u felt we was going to go undefeated if u know football then u will know new offense takes weeks before u see full running engine then u can say what u said.

    J. Franklin

    Monday Night Football is never good for Cousins, and The Eagles played well, shutting down Dalvin Cook. Really the Defense is the most troubling aspect of this match. The Eagles are hardly a top 5 offense. How will we fare against stronger teams?

J R

Well said. He’s doing what a coach is supposed to do. I’m still Pleased.

Cody Heard

Maybe not in the next two years but I think we will eventually win with this guy as our coach.

    Spindog

    Lol,..😂

ALPHA Fitter

Irv Smith cost them the first half. Cook was awful too. Then JJ early in the second half and then Cousins late in the game came unglued. Just not in sync at any point. Defence played better in the second half. This is not in the coaches he’s just standing up for the players and using it as a tactic. Hopefully that works because sometimes it is better to call them out and get them to man up. We’ll see next week

Gene Evaro Music

we are so blessed to have a coach who tells the truth..New coaching staff new culture its all going to be AMAZING..PROUD to be a VIKE FOR LIFE..!!!!!

Really thought some run game should of been more incorporated to gain the offense some momentum and time on the field. Should of gave Maddison more plays then he had, he was great in week one. He’s a powerful runner.

TJ 803

The great teams don’t lose 2 in a row too often, lets see how we bounce back 👌🏽. Got 2 division games in the next 3 weeks , going 3-0 in the division would be HUGE

TJ Odegaard

We’re gonna bounce back. One bad game isn’t everything. We got this. SKOL 💜💛💜💛

Dave P

Awesome coach he lived up to responsibility class act

LJ Shannon

Hats off to the eagles–they really brought it last night- I remain hopeful with this Coach

tzsful

Fantastic coach!! He has the insight and humility to do an Extroardinary job!

Travis Caswell

I love our new coach! We will get it figured out!

DrecalGod

Love Kevin’s vibes man he’s gonna be a great coach. I wish we would’ve did some more quick pass play action. And run then mix the deep ball break down that deep coverage
