Vikings didn’t give up a point after this.

great game, offense looked really good (and without cook), cousins is playing really well

defense had a rough half but locked it down

We gave up 4 points on nonsense at the end of the half. The penalty on the extra point and the conversion on 3rd and 20. It’s frustrating to see us continue to make stupid mistakes.

We need to get something going on offense.

If we didn’t give up these 4 points, we could have kicked a field goal at the end.

could be argued all 11 points could have been avoided - the touchdown was only scored after a penalty on a 4th down stop

we've been right on the edge of winning in all three losses. so many what if's

very frustrating to be so close and trip at the finish line so often

Unfortunately, the Packers aren't as bad as they looked week 1. We need to figure this out soon or it's going to be a lost season.

at least our game with the lions is coming up so we can (hopefully) get back on track

2. Not sure why Zimmer is so confident … he has lost
to more backup QB’s and rookie QB’s than I can imagine for a defensive head coach.

2. We have not addressed O-Line and QB since Denny Green era… until that occurs, we will never acquire a winning culture.

3. Vikings are far too satisfied and reliant on kickers… stop throwing for 5 when you need 8.

looks like darrisaw is in, that's good

That was miserable but at least we won.

such a weird game. pretty dull through 3.5 quarters i must not have been paying close attention but the momentum just kind of swung on that missed fg. then it somehow spiraled out of control and then we get the last minute drive and win it

its like we entered the twilight zone

hermes · Post #34 » by **hermes** » Sun Oct 17, 2021 8:56 pm

another ho-hum game until it wasn't. the punt block seemed to wake the vikings offense up and they looked good the rest of the game

bummed the defense couldn't get a stop on the panthers final drive

i don't even know what to say about kicking anymore, so i'll just try not to think about it

after years of wandering in the desert, the vikings may have finally found a decent 3rd wr in kj osborn

has kirk always been good in late game situations? or is it a recent phenomenon? the drive to end the lions game and now the drive at the end of regulation here and then punching it in overtime

hermes · Post #36 » by **hermes** » Sun Oct 17, 2021 8:58 pm

we're going to stumble backwards into the playoff race aren't we?

They just want to torture us this year.

It’s recent, but he’s been doing it all year. He had a last second drive against the Bengals to send it into overtime and the missed FG against the Cardinals. The only game where he didn’t come through was the Browns.

well its a nice development. kirk is so polarizing and people get so entrenched on their views that it sometimes seems like players aren't capable of change/growth/development but it does seem like something has clicked with kirk in late game situations

Zimmer defense flops again… he was the one that said “talk to the offensive coordinators across the league” as he has tried to defend his defense and HC position … to me it appears they want him to remain HC because they all believe they can beat him. They certainly don’t fear him or his defense.
