From what I see, the biggest reason for so much disdain my posters on here is that this loss was to the Packers. It still counts as only one game in the standings. Sure, it is a division opponent but ultimately no different than the Bears or the Lions. The Vikings still get to play the Pack at home. When is the last time the Vikings started out a season like 6-0 and anything really good came out of it? Better to go 10-6 making the playoffs and winning three of four December games than to go 11-5 and lose three of four games in December limping into the playoffs.

My .01 cents (probably not worth .02)

1. Other than the obvious bad calls by the refs, there were at least 2 times that the play clock ran out on Rodgers by a good 2 seconds that were not called. On time was on a 3rd down conversion. I hit rewind on the DVR on the 2nd one and watched it multiple times. Easily 2 seconds between the clock hitting zero and the snap.

2. Not to make this about the refs but for them to make a booth review and overturn that play TD was just ridiculous. Nobody can convince me that the play was clear and obvious.

3. Great game from our d-line after the 1st quarter. They put a ton of pressure on Rodgers without blitzing. That is what helped turn things around

4. The D is fine. Zimmer needs to stop having these games where they come out asleep though

5. I’m done with Cousins. Started at the end of last season. We are stuck with him and I’ll root for him. But I don’t expect anything other than average play. I’d take Keenum back in a second. At least he can run. Cousins is lost in the pocket.....lost.

Too mad to go on. The game was there to be won

Anyone else think Zimmer should have challenged the Hunter Strip-sack where Rogers came down on top of Danny and didn't touch the ground before Hunter took the ball away?

Hunter needs to run to the sideline and tell Zim to challenge that.
Or have our guy in the booth who reviews plays (that we must not have, d'oh! because we suck at challenges) tell him.

I hate losing to the Puke, esp that D--K Rogers. [X(]

Want to get even more mad? I counted at least 2 times ARog threw the ball away from the pocket w/o a grounding call. As bad as Cousins was in the red zone, he still made the big throw to Diggs to get us back in the game....not to mention the play to Beebe where he waited as long as possible, and the other TD to Diggs that was overturned.

As bad as many are saying Cousins played watch how horrible Diggs played the first half. He had at least 3 drops if I remember right. I don't think he (Diggs) has been practicing much and they moved the coverage to Thielen in the 1st half.

Yes, forgot about the throwaways that should have been grounding.

Despite all that, we had a great chance to win the game if we just were able to punch in a TD instead of that horrible throw. That is after we fell down by 21....on the road...in an extremely hostile environment. We will have to overcome Cousins but we have some great weapons and a very good defense.

Im fighting the whole idea NFL has gone WWE in semblance of reality...

But there was some heavy sway going on for sure, beyond Marty's need to point out even... Much likely due to the fact that the boss Goodell and bunch of Packer Greats were in attendance for the 100 year NFL celebration...

There were so many home team calls it want even close to being away fan conspiracy theories with tin foil hats on...

Still we had a chance to win... F ing Packers....

Now if we have a last years Bill's moment/game next week with the Raiders at home its going to get ugly for all involved...

How about glass half full. That was Cousins' first red zone interception as a Viking. Last year, inside the 20, he threw 20 TDs, 0 Ints, and inside the 10 he threw 12 TDs, 0 Ints.

Since 2017 (the time frame people are referencing lately), Cousins has 37 TDs and 4 Ints inside the 20, and 19 TDs and 2 Ints inside the 10.

What we saw yesterday hardly typifies his play the way some are suggesting.

Are you saying that we maybe got the best Kirk Cousins we will see and it's all down hill from here?

Did they say in yesterday’s tv broadcast the Vikings have the 5th best record in the NFL since entering the league and every team above them has won at least 4 Super Bowls?

My god if that is true that is about as snake bit as it gets.

Damn I wished I liked a better team.

For me it’s because Cousins shits his pants almost every big game.

Not sure what “It” is but it’s obvious Cousins doesn’t have a drop of “It” in his body.

They cut the guy that had "IT".

Now we are stuck with Cousins and Mannion.

What the **** are you doing throwing into double coverage in the endzone? Throw it a way and take another shot next play. Down by 5 fourth quarter 3rd and 10 is not the time to take big shots downfield. It is imperative to keep the sticks moving at that point.

You Cousin B****ers better re watch the first half....watch Diggs drop at least 3 passes. He played horrible that half. Also watch the pea Cousins threw to Diggs for a TD. Then watch the play to Beebe.....but nope you hold on to the red zone INT and don't mention Diggs in your rants.

FYI, what is Mr. Keenum and Washington's Record?
