Latest / The Skol Hop / TSH Reacts - NFL Week 2 - Vikings beat the 49ers 23-17!
Transcript
- 0:20Speaker 1: All right, Hey, Vikings fans say, yes we can. We're back.
- 0:25Speaker 2: We're here at the IOWA Podcast Awards. We just finished
- 0:29Speaker 2: watching Week two Vikings versus forty nine Ers.
- 0:32Speaker 1: The Vikings beat the forty nine ers, which was awesome
- 0:34Speaker 1: to see school school.
- 0:36Speaker 2: And we also just finished recording our live episode here
- 0:40Speaker 2: at the IOWA Podcast Awards.
- 0:41Speaker 1: It was so much fun. We had a blast, except
- 0:44Speaker 1: for the push ups.
- 0:45Speaker 2: Except for the push ups we uh. Of course, if
- 0:48Speaker 2: you've been watching and following along, you know that we
- 0:50Speaker 2: spun the wheel of purple punishments last week and if
- 0:55Speaker 2: the Vikings won this game, the punishment was that we
- 0:57Speaker 2: had to do ten push ups every time we set
- 0:59Speaker 2: the Vikings, and I think between the two of us
- 1:01Speaker 2: we ended up doing like eighty push.
- 1:03Speaker 1: Ups or something like that. We said it at least
- 1:05Speaker 1: three times. I couldn't see after a few minutes, so
- 1:10Speaker 1: it was crazy, but it was a lot of fun.
- 1:12Speaker 2: The good news is we can say Vikings again because
- 1:14Speaker 2: we are no longer recording that episode. You'll probably see
- 1:17Speaker 2: that episode come out later this week. We talk about
- 1:20Speaker 2: everything that happens to the Vikings and tried not to
- 1:24Speaker 2: say the Vikings in Week two as they beat the
- 1:28Speaker 2: Niners at home at us Bank Stadium, and we also
- 1:30Speaker 2: looked ahead to the Texans game next week, also at
- 1:34Speaker 2: home at us Bank. But we've been trying to do
- 1:38Speaker 2: these like immediate reaction videos, so I wanted to ask you.
- 1:43Speaker 2: We do a lot of like, oh, what was the
- 1:45Speaker 2: best moment or what was the lowest moment. I just
- 1:46Speaker 2: have a new little like metaphor for us to use,
- 1:50Speaker 2: and it's something that I use with my daughters at home,
- 1:52Speaker 2: Roses and thorns. What was a rose and what was
- 1:55Speaker 2: a thorn? For you in this Vikings game against the Niners.
- 2:00Speaker 1: I just think my overall rose is that the Vikings
- 2:02Speaker 1: looked good against a team that is, you know, the
- 2:07Speaker 1: cream of the crop of the NFL. I'd venture to
- 2:10Speaker 1: say most experts didn't pick the Vikings to win this game.
- 2:13Speaker 1: We didn't pick the Vikings to win this game. And
- 2:16Speaker 1: it wasn't a lucky thing. Yes, Justin Jefferson had that
- 2:19Speaker 1: awesome ninety seven yard touchdown catch, which was a great
- 2:24Speaker 1: pass from Sam Darnold. Great everything about that play and
- 2:27Speaker 1: that was a huge highlight. But it's not like they
- 2:30Speaker 1: needed that to win the game. And it was the
- 2:32Speaker 1: last second desperation thing. The team just looked good.
- 2:36Speaker 2: Yeah, I think for me the rose was early on.
- 2:40Speaker 2: The defense looked solid, and there were some penalties, there
- 2:44Speaker 2: were some things that we wish wouldn't have happened, but
- 2:47Speaker 2: for the most part, they stopped the Niners, and the
- 2:50Speaker 2: Niners were moving the ball at times. They found Kittle,
- 2:53Speaker 2: they found Ayuk, they found Deebo Samuel, and of course
- 2:56Speaker 2: a good quarterback like brock Perty's gonna find his weapons
- 2:59Speaker 2: all the field, and he did that. But when it
- 3:02Speaker 2: came down to those key plays, those third and longs,
- 3:06Speaker 2: even some fourth downs that they went for, the Vikings
- 3:09Speaker 2: defense shut him down and made him pay or made
- 3:11Speaker 2: him kick a field goal instead of letting him score
- 3:13Speaker 2: a touchdown, and that proved to be the difference I
- 3:16Speaker 2: think in this game. So that was a big rose
- 3:18Speaker 2: for me.
- 3:18Speaker 1: What about a thorn? What was something that.
- 3:20Speaker 2: You wish we could do over or undo completely from
- 3:25Speaker 2: the game.
- 3:26Speaker 1: Yeah, My biggest thorn right now is just the performance
- 3:28Speaker 1: of the offensive line. There was a couple of times
- 3:31Speaker 1: Sam Darnold couldn't even look up, he barely got the snap,
- 3:34Speaker 1: and all of a sudden he had three forty nine
- 3:36Speaker 1: ers in the space, and it was just consistent. The
- 3:39Speaker 1: offensive line needed to step it up more and more
- 3:42Speaker 1: each play of the game. And I don't know what
- 3:45Speaker 1: PFF scores they'll have this week, but from the eye test,
- 3:49Speaker 1: they as a unit overall looked pretty awful. I will
- 3:53Speaker 1: say Joey Bosaid didn't wreck the game. I think he
- 3:56Speaker 1: actually came out for injury for a little bit at
- 3:58Speaker 1: one point, so saw probably did. Okay. It's not like
- 4:02Speaker 1: they had any specific defensive lineman for the Niners that
- 4:06Speaker 1: totally wrecked the game, and ultimately the Bikings won, so
- 4:08Speaker 1: it couldn't have been that bad. But maybe that offensive
- 4:10Speaker 1: line has to step it up if they're gonna do
- 4:12Speaker 1: anything this season. Yeah, I definitely agree with that.
- 4:15Speaker 2: For me, the thorn was watching Justin Jefferson go to
- 4:19Speaker 2: the locker room in the third quarter with an apparent
- 4:21Speaker 2: quad injury and we're hoping it's just like, you know,
- 4:24Speaker 2: pretty severe bruising or something and it's nothing pulled or
- 4:27Speaker 2: torn or anything like that. But you know, we watched
- 4:30Speaker 2: that guy sit out for what six or seven weeks
- 4:32Speaker 2: last year with a hamstring injury. We know how important
- 4:36Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson is to the Vikings. Team he was last
- 4:39Speaker 2: year and he continues to be this year. That ninety
- 4:41Speaker 2: seven yard touchdown pass that he caught today from Sam
- 4:43Speaker 2: Darnold is proof that he is absolutely.
- 4:47Speaker 1: Necessary on this team.
- 4:48Speaker 2: So to see him go out with injury is definitely
- 4:52Speaker 2: a thorn. You hope that he gets healthy, he's recovering,
- 4:56Speaker 2: and you hope he's back for the Texans next week,
- 4:59Speaker 2: especially with Jordan Adison dealing with that ankle injury.
- 5:02Speaker 1: Both ankles have had some bang up things happened to
- 5:05Speaker 1: them so far in this early in the season for
- 5:08Speaker 1: Jordan Addison, so yet, you hope the receiving core is
- 5:11Speaker 1: not down Jefferson and Addison for very long because that
- 5:13Speaker 1: would be pretty devastating.
- 5:15Speaker 2: And they're already down TJ. Howkinson until at least what
- 5:18Speaker 2: the bye week.
- 5:19Speaker 1: At least the bye week, and that's if his recovery
- 5:21Speaker 1: is going well. So we'll see Donald. We've been talking
- 5:25Speaker 1: about him how this is the best place. The Vikings
- 5:28Speaker 1: are the best team for Donald to go into because
- 5:30Speaker 1: of all the weapons. But I mean, if his weapons
- 5:32Speaker 1: are gone and injured, it doesn't really matter. So hopefully
- 5:35Speaker 1: they figured it out and hopefully this season is as
- 5:37Speaker 1: exciting as it could be. Yeah.
- 5:39Speaker 2: Well, to wrap things up here, an obvious rose I
- 5:43Speaker 2: think for both of us is just the fact that
- 5:45Speaker 2: the Vikings won. Oh my gosh, yeah, to beat the
- 5:47Speaker 2: forty nine ers at home, first home game of the season.
- 5:52Speaker 2: You know that crowd was rocking at USBL Stadium today,
- 5:56Speaker 2: That in and of itself is just a huge confidence
- 5:59Speaker 2: boost for the team moving forward. The Giants last week, yeah, okay,
- 6:04Speaker 2: you blew them out, it was twenty eight to six. Whatever, Yeah,
- 6:07Speaker 2: that's kind of to be expected. But to go in
- 6:10Speaker 2: and do what they did against the forty nine ers
- 6:12Speaker 2: is huge, and I think it'll It says a lot
- 6:14Speaker 2: about where this team is headed and what this team
- 6:16Speaker 2: is capable of, so hopefully a lot of.
- 6:19Speaker 1: Exciting Vikings games. Absolutely so. And to reiterate last week,
- 6:23Speaker 1: the Vikings were favored by one point against the Giants
- 6:26Speaker 1: straight twenty eight to six. The last I paid attention
- 6:29Speaker 1: to the betting line for this Niners Vikings game, the
- 6:32Speaker 1: Niners were favored by as many as five and a
- 6:34Speaker 1: half or six points, and that may have changed by
- 6:36Speaker 1: the time kickoff came around. But the Vikings are getting
- 6:39Speaker 1: the job done better than they're supposed to, so far,
- 6:43Speaker 1: and I think a lot of that is Sam Darnold
- 6:45Speaker 1: Aaron Jones. Even with that devastating cumble right at the
- 6:49Speaker 1: goal line which could have been a touchdown, I think
- 6:52Speaker 1: Aaron Jones is still in net positive for the team.
- 6:56Speaker 1: I'm excited and I'm ready for my eleven win prediction
- 6:59Speaker 1: to come true. You might be right.
- 7:01Speaker 2: The only way to find out is to see what
- 7:03Speaker 2: happens and make our way to January.
- 7:05Speaker 1: Yeah, real quick, thank you, major thank you to Five
- 7:09Speaker 1: Cities Brewing out of Bettendorf, Iowa. They provided our beer
