@@MrJaberwocky777 It's true, although I think most were assuming Darnold was going to suck and get pulled after a they were out of playoff contention. Nobody thought he'd being doing this well.
It’s an undisputed fact that KOC said that Sam Darnold was the starter and QB1. Only the media was saying it was a QB battle for a day of news after the first preseason game. That’s it. Yes, plenty of fans also commented that Sam would be done after the bye week and JJ would start. But the Minnesota staff was clear the whole time. It’s Sam and always was this year.
Yea Vikings is shocking me no doubt but almost blew it with 28-0 lead. They playing good football now,but Darnold & Vikings still to me on Pumpkin Watch.
Even by your own rankings not having the Vikings at #1 doesn’t compute. The Lions have beat the Rams, Cardinals, Seahawks. Only one of those teams is in the top 15 of your ranking. The Vikings, on the other hand, have beaten three teams in your TOP 10!!!! Cmon Florio, open your heart to love again. Ride the purple wave and let it take you where it takes you. That’s what football is.
This is the chemistry you're missing with the new guests.. The way you guys go back and forth with each other is what makes this show worth watching. Myles isn't quite on Simms level, but for me he’s a close second.
Mike Florio is a true Vikings fans because in honesty he’s thinking like a true fan.. he’s hesitant because of past trauma as a fan. He’s the only news reporter I will say gets a pass on his thinking with the Vikings because he’s always been for us
How many wins do the Vikings need to be #1? If they go 5-0 this week after the Jets will they still rank the Lions higher if they win also? The Vikings are the only 4-0 Team in the NFC. They should be at least #2.
IN OTHER WORDS, Vikings QB Coach Josh McCown wasn’t the problem with Bryce Young last year, as smart people knew. He didn’t have a QB with any elite physical tools to work with in Bryce Young. That was the problem.
@@JohnStockton7459 Keep crying Packers fan. #4 scoring defense, #4 scoring offense and 2nd most takeaways while beating 3 different contenders doesn't add up to a fluke.
Ravens at 11 is legitimately the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Anyone with eyes knows they are better than the majority of teams you have in front of them. Just feels like you are trolling.
The Broncos are above the Seahawks? After the game they just had on Monday night? Can't even call it immediacy bias to disregard how soundly the Seahawks trounced the Broncos in week 1. Florio just disrespects the Seahawks.
MIN should be #1. SEA should be #4. BAL and KC should be like #5 or 6. BUF and HOU should be #7 and 8. ATL should be #11. DEN, CHI, MIA, NYG are ranked too high. LV is ranked too low.
@@Random_Person1023 I agreed with Mike putting DET at #2. SEA was actually a contender in the game against DET. It wasn't like how BUF lost to BAL. It was more similar to how DET lost to TB. Also, if SEA played Mike's teams #5 and below, or my #5 and below, then I think SEA would likely win.
Idk how Florio can say he's a fan of the Vikings, yet also not give them their flowers even when they are objectively one of the best teams in football
Injuries aside, when have the Chiefs ever looked anything better than average since Tyreek left? They don't blow anyone out. They win by single digits - but they win. They win so much they are back-to-back champs. That should tell you something about appearances. Chiefs continually prove they are #1 until a team on their schedule proves otherwise.
Small sample size. Vikings have been the best team and I dove off that wagon when they got rid of AC. That was over 30 years ago. But the ViQueens are playing great. Lions are the team in that division I actually believe in. Vikings might make the playoffs but the Lions are playoff ready already.
I'm not sure I believe in the Vikings yet, but based on the quality of opponents and wins, the Vikings should be at worst #2 and probably #1. Chiefs, I don't have a prob with them at 1 or 2 either because they're the defending champs and haven't lost yet. The Lions...they lost. They shouldn't be ahead of a team who hasn't lost yet and beaten better competition. The Vikes could be overachieving, but if these power rankings are based on results and not hype, the Vikings should be 1. 2 at worst. this week.
Ravens at 11???????? Oh, pleeeeze. 6 spots lower than the team they just demolished. Do they just let a chicken run around the stage until it pecks something??
If only the rankings allowed for teams to rise and fall on a weekly basis a case could easily be made for Vikes at top and if they should stumble, pull out the ol Negative spots graphic drop😏
I could put the Vikings at number #2 but since the chiefs are undefeated after winning the Super Bowl last year means they are still #1 even if they aren't playing as-well this season as the Vikings(I am not a Chiefs fan).
Florio is a true vikings fan. We are all jaded, cant accept success, always thinking the wheels are going to fall off. Yea, its a miserable existence. Skol!
You’re holding back the Vikings because they’re your team and you don’t care to jinx them. I’m a diehard Chiefs fan but the way we’ve played so far this season has been bad for the heart as so many nail biters and stressed situations yet somehow we managed the wins so I’m happy for our record and hope to go undefeated this season and get the three peat Super Bowl win history on two fronts.
Exactly but when is viks where winning by 1 score we were fake and blah blah but now that other teams are winning the way we dis they are ok to do so. Everyone hates in Minnesota even fans
They won't go undefeated, but it would be no surprise if they win the Super Bowl. Especially as the AFC looks weaker than it has been in a while. Only really three contenders and they will probably only have to beat two of them. The Fighting Strouds could be the biggest rival by then. Winning big in Sept isn't the best route to the championship anyway. It's hard to play great for 5 months.
I've been a Vikings fan for the better part of 30 years, I've seen this movie before, until the Vikings prove otherwise, the other shoe will drop eventually.
Florio has severe PTSD when it comes to the Vikings. He's more concerned with being right that they fail, that he hedges his bet to fit around that narrative.
Whole convo about Minnesota staged. Team with a 7-10 record doesn't get put up at #1 this early with an unproven QB. Give them props for their wins tho
if any other team had wins vs the 49ers and texans in basically blowouts and was undefeated every media member would be calling them Super Bowl favorites but because its the vikings they dont even get top 2... ok
Vikings maybe should be #1 but when they play the Lions - it's going to become very clear the Lions are Kings of the North. Fancy defense stuff meh - Monty and Gibbs rammed down their throat...
This whole chiefs refs narrative has gotten so insane on social media. The Chiefs have been top 5 in penalties and penalty yards since Mahomes became the starter. The Bengals game that was the correct call, it was clearly PI. The Ravens and Chargers games had nothing to do with refs. And the Falcons game yeah it was PI on Pitts, but the next drive the falcons got 3 first downs off penalties and then got stopped on 4th down so the missed call didn’t end the game. People just hate seeing a team have sustained success.
Brother it doesn’t matter that they have a lot of flags called on them… it’s all situational. The chiefs get all the calls their way when the game is down to the wire, they get every single flag their way when it actually matters. It doesn’t matter that they get a lot of flags early in the game. Look at the stats when it’s the last drive of the game. Never seen the refs not help them when it’s the last drive and they need to score to win
People can't rationalize how the chiefs keep winning. It's a combination of this, anger, and jealousy that makes up a majority of the discussion on the flags for the Chiefs.
@@jacobsims8307that stat is completely misleading. Half of those interceptions were on free plays, so he threw a ball downfield because he knew even if it gets picked off it would be overturned

This is just my opinion so don’t come at me, if you’re not in agreement with me on this one? It doesn’t matter lol just ignore it hahaha
No Florio, you’re just a terrible fan, that’s why you have the Lions over the Vikings and don’t understand ( obviously) that power rankings are about now and your superstitions should have zero influence.
Packers are winning the superbowl. Enjoy your fluke wins and power rankings banners Vikings and Lions fans, but the Packers win when it matters most, and they are better than every team in the NFC.
