Stupid Dustin...finding positives. I mean, this team battled back from the dead at 1 and 5. No positives to he found here.

Yeah, and we did it with an incredibly tough schedule over that time.

The stats are not manipulated. You are portraying as darkness which is light. In your example, saying four out of five dentists recommend the chewing gum is deceitful. Granted. There is no deceitfulness with these stats. They are intended to share something interesting and even a reason to appreciate my team a little more. That is a good thing- not a bad. But if you see it as bad, go ahead and block me. I wouldn't want you to feel manipulated.

Holy shit! How did get to here from where we were? Jesus.

He's taking his twitter ball of deceitful stats and going home.

Best way to win this game is with pressure up the middle. Brady needs a clean pocket even more so than Cousins. If he has to move around in the pocket and has to throw off his back foot he can't get the zip he needs on his throws.

TB oline is similar to ours in that they are weak up the middle.

On offense we need to throw first to loosen them up so we can run a bit. If we try to establish the run first (against the #1 rushing d) we could be in for a long afternoon and even worse get Cook dinged up by running him into a pile of humanity over and over.

Maybe our blitzes should be up the middle too.

Revisit that gem of a game plan we used against the saints in the playoffs last season.

I finally watched some Carolina highlights - not play-by-play of last two drives, yet, though. Wow, Cousins was looking damn good. I apologize if I sounded positive - I'm sure they just cherry-picked all the good stuff.

What we REALLY need to do is play clean game for once. You know, don't give up any defensive TDs kind of thing.

I think I'm going to hope for giving up a pick 6 to start the 2nd half.
It's worked 2 weeks in a row.

It must give the other team a false
sense of security watching us stumble and bumble through the whole
3rd quarter.

Each time today in my head that I attempt to envision a pathway to a Vikings victory over TB, I forget that Kendricks is out.

The Bucs losses have come against:

The 2nd rank defense
The fifth rank defense x2
The seventh ranked defense
And the first ranked offense.

Have they not lived up to the hype, sure but they haven’t been losing to teams like the Vikings

TB destroyed GB with good film study, I expect the same with the Vikings, with TB coming off a bye.

Unless, like the Dallas game, where the refs helped Dallas, as more m money was on Minnesota. Hopefully there is more money on TB, the refs help the Vikes to keep it close, or at least an early lead.

I still see the Vikes losing, with or without help from the officials.

Anybody can beat anybody - especially with Greg Williams out of the league now (ha ha).

We'll just have to see which way that ball bounces today. No sense living like there's no chance

WTH happened to Bailey?

That xtra pt looked like a wounded duck.

We're simply not good enough to leave points out there like that.

Looking like the biggest problem with this current team is we can't get out of our own way.

On that last TB drive where got a FG. 3rd and 8 and Boyd is giving Evans a 10 yard cushion.....

Cousins held on to the ball a few times when he should just get rid of it vs taking a costly sack.

We either need to draft better pass blockers or get a coach that can teach them how.

Is it a coincidence that we finally lost the PS kicker and Bailey relaxes and goes in the tank?

Baileys performance today was the worst by an NFL kicker since 1961

(Vikings Spin on Twitter)

Should I be like this, now?

According to Five Thirty Eight the Vikings have a 64% chance of making the playoffs if they win their next two games.

Rick, Zim, Kubiak, Dennison all deserve to be fired for the oline.

I simply do not believe Dozier is the best we can run out there. Collins, Jones, Ezra on the left. Udoh, Ezra on the right.

The fact that our de facto starting RG is no longer on the team is asinine.

Too late for this season.

Only chance Dozier is out of the lineup is if he gets hurt.

No matter how much he continues to suck.

What happened to Rags (Ragnarok)?

Haven't seen him in a while. I was fully expecting the Cousins critique machine to come in with guns blazing.

- Anyone else wondering if Stafford beginning his slide and/or a possible helmet-to-helmet on the play that takes him out of the game is worthy of a penalty v. GB?

- Also, have they released him yet, or hasn't the plane landed?
