I didn't pay over £100 for a ticket at Tottenham to see the Vikings tank. Plus if kwesi is that bad at drafting, wouldn't tanking be pointless?

Though surely no-one expected us to challenge for the division with essentially a rookie quarterback?

I think if they go something like 6-11 or worse then questions will be asked about the futures of KOC and Kwesi.

I agree about the rookie QB comment, but they are definitely in win now mode if you look at basically every other area of the team and the money they are paying players. Might be a bit victims of their own success as well based on what they did last season with a historically poor QB in Darnold as well.

If McCarthy and Turner don’t do much in year 2 considering the amount of draft capital given up for them then Kwesi at least should be under a lot of pressure

I guess the situation in the Vikings is in theory better than that of some rookies that come into teams who say have the first overall pick, but even still, you'd think the ownership would at least for this season not have the highest expectations in terms of absolute win numbers, but who knows

Though I'm annoyed that JJ probably won't play in London. Even if he's only out for two weeks, they probably won't play him in London especially as the bye is immediately after. I'd rather see (hopefully) the future of the Vikings than some journeyman whose glory days are long ago. It's literally 2017 all over again...
 
Jake Browning is so bad, this should be a comprehensive win.

It’s the Vikings though so they’ll probably lose
 
I’ve never understood that rule. Surely it’s already been seen by the replay officials so why can you challenge the ruling?

I think it’s a first down but I don’t understand why they can challenge a play that’s already been reviewed

Oh well, they still couldn't do anything! Lead up to 17 now.

Yeah this should always have been a blowout once Burrow was injured. The Bengals are a very top heavy team with Chase/Burrow/Hendricksen eating up so much cap they can’t have much anywhere else. Burrow getting injured is a nightmare for them.

Won’t learn a lot from today, but be good to get a win and Addison back next week should help
