Ill tell you who else is an idiot: a person who bets on Philly when Hurts is out! Of course the good news is, at the present moment the Vikes still have a shot at a first round bye

Go Seahawks!

Kirk cousins has A-LOT of what I consider dumbass moment, like holding the ball too long, not seeing the wide open secondary receiver because he laser focuses on his primary, not running for easy yards when it’s right in front of him, taking sacks at times when he could just throw it away..but Kirk and the offense is what ultimately wins these games.. IMO, it is gonna be the defense that is what rips my heart out in the playoff against increasingly better opponents. 5 straight weeks of 400+ yards of offense given up, not a good precursor to playoff longevity.. I picture something like the 41-0 NFC title game. An opposing coach does the obvious, pass every down for 5-8 yards because the DB's are sagging off 10. Score every possession. Donatell is dead man walking, no way he returns in 2023. Our O is going to put up a doughnut? That'll be ugly Based on our 4 losses, it would not be a surprise.

Niners win so we are firmly the #3 seed

Todd M -> RE: General Vikes Talk (1/1/2023 6:33:37 PM)
Step up with a chance for the #1 seed. Vikings pass and step down to 3. Vikings gotta Viking.

A sigh of relief as the 49ers win. Assuming the Packers beat Detroit, a good chance the Packers get the monkey off their back and beat the 49ers.

marty -> RE: General Vikes Talk (1/1/2023 6:36:15 PM)
Giants will be no gimme, they play very tough in the 4th quarter. But I think the Vikings can beat them, then they likely get the winner of Dallas/TB. Gonna be interesting.

Todd M -> RE: General Vikes Talk (1/1/2023 6:38:06 PM)
It's gonna be nothing. There is zero reason to believe in this team. Even if we didn't all of a sudden have no right side of an OL. We're done.

Todd M -> RE: General Vikes Talk (1/1/2023 6:42:19 PM)
I tried to prepare myself for this Spent the morning saying to myself: they'll do what they do. And they did do do. One way or another it always end shitty.

Bill Jandro -> RE: General Vikes Talk (1/1/2023 6:45:37 PM)
It was very evident Cousins never fielded any snaps in practice from our 2nd string center. Hope O'Neal is ok

I don't think we have the resources to plug the holes. And good luck rallying that team to anywhere this team gelled to.

Jeff Jesser -> RE: General Vikes Talk (1/1/2023 6:53:35 PM)
What really sucks is the D came out and made a stand and we block a punt and have 1st and goal at the 1 and call the 3 dumbest plays you possibly could. The game was over right there. KOC never gave the team a chance.

Todd M -> RE: General Vikes Talk (1/1/2023 6:56:50 PM)
The Giants will look at the recent tape and see our weakened state (OL) and blitz us out of the game.

Hahaha anyone who thinks today’s loss changes anything about our prospects in the postseason hasn’t been paying attention all season long. We’re bipolar as it gets. We still have the ability to win three playoff games in a row. We also might get blown out in the first one. Or anything in between those scenarios. You think the opposing team will get some type of “blueprint “ from todays game? Why wasn’t there one after the Philly game? The Dallas game? We’re in no different spot right now than we were this morning.

Jeff Jesser -> RE: General Vikes Talk (1/1/2023 8:38:01 PM)
While I generally agree, I disagree to this extent. If we had any chance of making a bit of noise, we HAD to have home field. It was our only rabbit foot. It’s gone now.

Jeff Jesser -> RE: General Vikes Talk (1/1/2023 8:56:03 PM)
I’m ok with blaming 1 or all 3 phases for today as they all sucked 🤬 That being said……. This D cord continues to kill us. If they bring him back next year it may be my “Farve” moment. I may just say F-it and take a year off. Remember when we drooled over edge rushing monsters? If Hunter didn’t get his helmet knocked off and Z whiff in the backfield on 1 play, I would have wondered if they were inactive. And, it’s not the first game.

Tom Sykes -> RE: General Vikes Talk (1/1/2023 8:57:24 PM)
Going back to last offseason ... this team has vastly outperformed what I expected ... in the win column. The final minutes of most games have been a blast. Even up until kickoff today, I was willing to suspend my disbelief and hope for something more than just flukey end of game theatrics ... because I'm a sucker. Unfortunately, unless we win a playoff game, we will end up where I kind of expected six months ago ... third best team in our division.
