I think of the emotional playoff win at home over NO [Digg's Minneapolis Miracle], followed by massive road loss at Philly.

This feels similar, and with injuries piling up, should be a big loss. But I think it will just be a close, competitive loss. Would be VERY surprised if the Vikings won.

Are the Vikings for real or posers ?

I expect them to go out west and get trounced.

Win this game and earn some respect please.

we cannot let them completely dominate and destroy our d-line...run blitz often...make garoppolo beat us with his arm in man-to-man coverage....

Watts, Lynch, Wonnum, and Jones.

If these guys can show we'll be good to go.

I'm particularly hopeful of seeing a Jones coming out party.

Let's go!

I hope you're right about Jones. Someone is going to need to step up or I'm afraid it's going to look like our last playoff game against them

Things I'd like to see us try on offense today:

Use no huddle and up the tempo. Playing Zimmerball plays into the 69ers hands. Throw to set up the run.

Use an extra offensive lineman instead of a useless backup TE. Other than Conklin, our backup TEs haven't done anything anyway. Give Cousins more time to make aggressive throws. Don't want to see our line overwhelmed again in a big game without even trying anything new.

Don't defer if we win the coin toss.

Pendejo with a late hit on Brady on a qb sneak earlier today. Surprised he's still in the league.

I worry about our D wearing out if we go up tempo but aren't successful.

Still in it, but not with this group. Slow death with the usual melt down.

2-minute offense. It's critical.

Having anything to say when we're winning would be something. Immediate availability and opinion after a loss though.

I have been ultra critical of Nwangwu ... the drafting of, the fan expectations of ... I of little faith ...

I was absolutely wrong ... hope his speed / athleticism converts to RB on some level.

Unfortunately, he is a minor highlight in an overall miserable situation.

I've got an idea. With five seconds left in the half, lets throw a five-yard out....to nobody. Just a total lack of awareness.

The play-calling on the first and goal in the fourth quarter was completely senseless. The second down call for a run was brutal.

Gotta cash in when you have your chances. It's why we are 5-6. Our teller is slow.

His cop out was that we wanted to get into FG range. And the reporters just nod their heads and don't challenge him.

Kirk Cousins

2021 base salary: $21 million
Total contract value: $150 million (2018 and 2020 contracts combined)
Fully guaranteed : $150 million

Biggest waste of money in history of NFL?

Doubtful. Brad has a B.S. from the Zimmer School of Self-Scouting.

Bad judgment on my part. Shoulder dislocation.

Nicklebacks are supposed to be quick and fast with good change of direction. Alexander looks the opposite of that.

Kirk Cousins lined up under right guard before a crucial fourth-down play on the goal line, forcing the Vikings to take a timeout before an incompletion...

10,000 lakes.
1 sinking ship.

The whole play was a cluster. WRs were changing sides, running into each other.
