Looking like Wentz single handily is going to eliminate Washington from the post season

Did the NFL pay Ron Rivera off to start Carson Wentz? If not he's an idiot. He said he is starting Wentz because Heineke wasn't taking care of the football. So Wentz promptly trumps that with 3 ints 0 tds. You simply can't make this shit up.

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

It’s not cousins or the offense or KOC that is the problem…

It is the soft defense that lets journeyman level QB’s consistently put up career days and let’s offensive juggernauts, like Dallas and Philly, score at will and exploit a defensive scheme that has mismatched or improper personnel and scheming.

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.

That poor Philly backup QB easily outperformed Lord Cousins today!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Never believed in them but the wins are fun. KOC has a ton of work in the offseason

It was very evident Cousins never fielded any snaps in practice from our 2nd string center.

Hope O'Neal is ok

Might not be pretty. Tough choices will have to be made. I don't think we have the resources to plug the holes. And good luck rallying that team to anywhere this team gelled to.

With all our coaches there's no reason we couldn't have gotten competence...the guy was clueless.

Well we at least have a chance at winning one playoff game.

But by no means are we a good team.

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.

The Giants will look at the recent tape and see our weakened state (OL) and blitz us out of the game.

Feels exactly this. Went up in that fortuitous situation and shot blanks. Then realized the rest of the game we weren't packing.

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.

I wouldn't give ANY qb $30-50+ mil unless that QB had won me a Super Bowl. Did you win a Super Bowl on your rookie deal? Yes? Great! Here's your hugenormous contract. F it let's just run victory laps and love life. No? Good luck. Next!

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.

The Giants are sending us home I'm afraid.

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.

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.
