It's a little concerning that Brandel is a better option than Jurgens. Vikings were high on Jurgens when they drafted him, but it just doesn't look like he's who they thought he was. Swing and a miss on that one maybe. Rouse from the same class isn't looking much better.
Brandel's PFF grades at center weren't particularly good, but I think maybe what the Vikings like about him is his experience. He's a 6-year vet so he likely knows the offense and the line calls better than anyone. He's going to have his hands full today with Jalen Carter.

That's a common theme with this front office.

Brandel versus Carter and Jordan today is a mismatch.
Brandel is gonna struggle today.

Brandel again with a penalty that costs us a TD. Can we cut his ass at halftime?

Cut the DC that leaves a C isolated against a 3 man rush.
Or has a DB playing 10 off with no S help with the game on the line.
Or the HC and QB that seems about as clueless with the clock and situation as I have ever seem in football.
This game was was still a potential win with 5 minutes to go, it was total shit from there on.
If we see Wentz start again heads should roll. He was a total shit show today.

He threw scuds all over the field especially in the red zone.
I thought he'd play better. He hasn't cleaned up his game.
He looks scattered and off

Easy for me to say in retrospect, but this was not a stellar game from BFlo or KOC. I'm surprised we had a chance to win it as late as we did tbh.

That was one of the worst calls ever, was not a hold, the defender slipped and fell and Brandel shoved him down as he was falling, no chance that would have been called on Philly. No excuse for a NFL ref to make a call like that.

That call didn't look right, and it took points off the board that changed the game.
