• Mason is struggling in pass-pro.  Whiffed on Hamilton giving up a huge pressure and knockdown by Hamilton
  
• Refs seemed to favor Baltimore.  I know we jumped 8 times.  But calling it on a QB?  When does that ever happen?  At one point late in the game Baltimore only had 1 penalty for 5 yards.  
  
• False starts at home?  Something was up with JJ's cadence.  Either he was just amped and barking louder, or we were trying to get Balt to jump.  Whatever the case, it wasn't working.
  
• Jefferson seemed disinterested.  Seemed almost lethargic, getting tripped up on that deep INT and then not hustling.
  
• Absolutely no issue with the deep shot on 3rd and 1.  Jefferson 1-1 with no safety?  Who wouldn't take a shot on that matchup?  Those criticizing that play are hiding behind the 20/20 hindsight or just don't understand football.  How often do we complain that coaches don't go for the kill shot?  That was a kill shot and a great call.  Didn't work out, but it was still a great call.
  
• Our run game seems better, should have leaned on it more, but I really don't think play calling was the issue here.
  
• The INT was a big moment, but the fumble on the kick return was bigger.  Short field, the D rallied so many times holding them to FGs, but couldn't stop this one.
  
• Wonder where Price's head is at going forward.  Fumbled the next return as well.
  
• Nailor stepped up in a big way.  That 4th down catch where he double clutched it was huge.  The TD was a thing of beauty.
  
• How many tipped balls did our D just miss?  I think there were 3 that had potential, but just fell short.  Could have been a huge difference
  
• But the D played a tremendous game IMO.  Van Ginkel is such a great player.  Causes the other team so many issue.

I'm concerned for Price, too, because he was money up 'til yesterday.
Totally agreed on Nailor.

Jalen Redmond is on his way to being the next K Dub

You're tip-toeing around 2 elephants in the room Greed

I think KOC called a terrible game, especially given where the QB is at. I DID NOT anticipate this ever happening
Right now JJM intangibles far outweigh his production
Glad you're calling out Jefferson, he's deserved of criticism

The Vikings had 20 instances where they were in 3rd or 4th down situations ....

Total number of running plays in those instance = 0. Zero. Zip. Nada.

Another thing they need to stop the SKOL chant until the team is able to actually play like a professional team at home.  Its just stupid to do the chant and then have the team come out and lay an egg.
