London Calling - New York Jets (+2.5) v Minnesota Vikings (40.5), 9.30am EST (2 Viewers)

[bolldpt]

The offensive scheme is crap! How is Hackett still around?

 

[mr roboto]

The entire Jets leadership team needs to be replaced. As an outsider they’ve just been bad for so many years. How does the owner continue to never really have anybody there that’s putting a plan together to put a competitive product on the field?

 

[Osaurus]

Seize the Awkward ad is interesting

 

[Dacomish]

A.Jones hasn't played for now the 2nd drive, he was limping on the sideline without his helmet. Announcers said he was hurting a bit but didn't elaborate.

Edit - announcers mentioned Hammy. They showed him trying to stretch/jog it out.

 

[Proteus]

The perennial, inevitable Aaron Jones lower body injury has arrived.

 

[TheAristocrat]

I mean, it's not just a lack of execution, it's the stupidity.

You sure Saleh keeps his job for 13 more weeks?

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Vikings turnover on Downs, miss a chance on perhaps 3 points
Jets get the ball and drive down in scoring position in a 10-0 game and decide not to kick the FG and cut it to a 1-score game
A game where they have no business even being this close and they pass on it, that's gotta be on the Head Football Coach, yes/no?
There's a 6-pt swing in there

 

[Man In The Box]

Vikings over under on wins was set at 7.5. You may cash that by Halloween at this point. Major miss by Vegas so far.

No.

Did the NFL make kicking FG's illegal ?

If they’re under 55 yards, yes.

I thought they said it was a hip injury. But my kids are yelling so I may have heard it wrong.

 

[Judge Smails]

Terrible call.

 

[SoBeDad]

Terrible call.

Should've been a no call. Or OPI.

No.

You right, tho. History says Woody doesn't do that

Darnold was the No 3 overall QB in FF this past week, Major miss by the FF Community
The whole team was sold short and the rookie QB taken No 10 overall, has absolutely nothing to do with any of this
It's astonishing to burn that pick and then have this type of season so far
Not sure if the fans would like that one back but they could be even better had they drafted an impact player there

 

[travdogg]

I have no idea how that was PI on Sauce, Jefferson had a 0% chance of getting that one

They just showed his hammy wrapped/iced so you are probably right.

Kurt Warner, explaining how a play is changed. Quality programming and remarkable insight on the NFL Network.

Minnesota coaching staff deserves a lot of credit. Having the best receiver on the planet doesn’t hurt either.

You could be right, I'm only going on what the announcers said. Either way looks like he is done for day.

Vikings RB Aaron Jones is questionable to return with a hip injury, per

An argument could be made, that KOC is such a good offensive coach, that McCarthy could be even better than Darnold has been. I mean, Dobbs and Mullens were putting up numbers last year.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Dropped pick jets can’t catch a break

 

[massraider]

The roar from that London crowd is deafening.

 

[Man In The Box]

Vikings going Ham

 

[Yenrub]

Gardner typically gets away with these holds against lesser WR’s

 

[mr roboto]

Jets can’t cover Jettas without cheating.

 

[VikingFrog]

Vikings going Ham

While the Jets Lag.

 

[massraider]

That was scored by Ham.

In London, they call him Bacon however.

The Vikings have a plan to be good for a long time not just one time. The pick was good and not burned. This was the plan all along, injury or no to McCarthy.

 

[karl.Racki]

This game sucks

 

[VikingFrog]

That one on Addison looked like a big nothing burger. But as a Vikings fan, I’d gladly take the Chiefs treatment if the nfl wants to push calls our way.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Vikings opened up a 28-0 lead vs Green Bay last week and hold on 31-29
Any chance they blow a 17 point lead in London this week?
Doesn't feel like it so far

 

[Cowboysfan8]

That’s a weak hold

 

[Insein]

Well Addison with a 0 and not a good outlook on Vikings throwing the rest of the game. Going against Mooney Thursday and now this, the week is over before it starts.

:shakes fist at kids:

I'm guessing with the bye next week, and the 17-point lead, we've seen the last of Jones today.

ETA: Which really sucks. He was looking like he was gonna have a 20+ point week.

Vikings fans knew this team was better than the preseason talk. So did KOC. in several interviews, he mentioned that during training camp, he saw this team was special and started to talk to them about keeping their heads about them if they had a strong start.

National media is pretty shallow. All they saw was cousins left and Danielle Hunter left and Darnold is a bust so that means the team is going to be bad.

Apparently, nobody nationally saw just how great of a free agent class this was. Half the defense is new this year and Aaron Jones on offense is a game changer.

There are still a few national media people that can’t admit they were wrong, but for the most part, the Vikings have been getting their flowers in the last week or so.

This Jets offense is horrible. Green Bay is really good with a quarterback that can actually stand in the pocket and throw darts.

Aaron is old and done.

 

[rockaction]

Singing along to Oasis is the best part of the telecast thus far for a Jets fan.

 

[Army Eye]

brutal game if you're fantasy-invested so far. Jets doing nothing. Aaron Jones injured. Jets defense interfering rather than give up pass plays to Darnold/Jefferson. Penalties lead to Ty Chandler touchdown which would have gone to Jones

 

[FairWarning]

The ITV feed from England is great, no commercials and UK announcers.

 

[massraider]

Never been so happy a Tottenham game was about to start during an NFL game

It’s great if you started the Vikings defense

Maybe Pat McAfee will show Aaron how to read coverages on the show this week.

Don’t you give that credit to Chandler. Give the big hunk of Ham some credit.

Started Vikings defense against Darnold and Aaron Jones.

And after going against Drake London… these London results were what I was looking for!

 

[TheAristocrat]

Jets calling timeouts to preserve the clock is short bus special thinking

 

[Jayded]

Jets calling timeout here is like being on a really bad date and deciding to order another drink
