When other teams win a lot and always win the same way, they've found a winning formula. If that formula is "strangle them with your defence", you're frauds.

My wife is suspicious that I’m appreciating her team. She thinks it’s backhanded. It usually is, so she is reasonable. But it’s actually because there’s one other team that’s been my main team, the mid 00s Eagles.
Flores is the highest % blitzing coach since 2005. That coach in 2005? Eagles’ DC Jimmie Johnson, a man who knew how to make a fun defense.
It makes even low scoring games interesting because it becomes more chaotic, special teams gets used more, so good.

Honestly it's the best thing that could happen to us because you know that if Will the Thrill is sitting with a perfect season and the game on the line in the playoffs that it doesn't matter how good he is destiny would take that kick from him. This way, there's no dramatic irony at play in the postseason.

Losing more and more faith that KOC is some kind of offensive genius. Clearly a great leader of men / HC but I haven’t seen anything from this offense this year to feel like it’s anything special. Offense should not be this hard with Justin Jefferson.

u/MaruhkTheApe Vikings 1d ago
I've said this in more than one place, but his best ever offensive DVOA is 15th. Zimmer, who I'm pretty sure literally hates offense, averaged 13th with his teams. Pat Shurmur managed 5th with Case Keenum at quarterback.
He didn't call plays when he was in LA. He shouldn't be calling plays here.
17
u/MostBoastToast Vikings 1d ago edited 1d ago
Murray isn't elite by any means, or even good, but he isn't the WORST QB in the NFL. The offense continues to be less than the sum of its parts. The JJ McCarthy lead Giants just put up 27 on the Texans, that's more than the Vikings in 5/6 games this year. The Vikings offense is broken.

u/PokerChipMessage Chargers 22h ago
KOC has an uncanny knack of scoring just enough to win.
He never gets up two scores. If they get down two scores they immediately close the gap. And with two minute left in the game his teams almost always are taking the lead.
I'm sensing a pattern at this point.

Because even if you defense can shut the other teams to under 20 points, the offense should be able to get at least 21

This still doesn’t really answer it because the inverse is equally applicable. Just look at the Bills. They’re an elite offense with a future HOF QB and score like 25PPG in playoff losses, but the defense gives up 32.

This isn't the Vikings winning on flukey plays and just every bounce going their way. They've won every game pretty much the same way, Defense being absolutely suffocating creating short field opportunities, special teams being nearly perfect, and offense using every advantage given them to do just enough to win the game. It's their identity and it's not pretty but it's not like every week they're finding some new way to win.
