Just getting back from that debacle, getting kinda used to it being a fan over the decades.
Ever since TJH fumbled that ball today, I thought they would have a tough time and they did.
I knew the D would struggle this year and they have, but I was hoping the O would bail them out more often than not - and they haven't.
They aren't playing well as a unit and I sure dont like how they moved from setting up the run with the pass to running every 1st down, more Ham and heavy sets. F*&ck that.
Yep. This year’s defense is better than last year’s. I realize that’s a very low bar to clear but through 3 games it’s true. The difference is the offense hasn’t been able to bail out the bad defense, unlike 2022. In fact I don’t think I’d even consider our offense “good” this year. I’m guessing our yards are high but points wise there haven’t been nearly enough.
The defense is better than last year, but still not good. I think Flores was the right hire, but they don't quite have the personnel to pull off his scheme yet. I like his blitzes, but the success rate is low. I have not been impressed with Evans and Murphy at corner, but the safety depth is good, Hunter has done fairly well, though was quiet today, and Pace was a great find.
On offense, the OL has been bad. Injuries have not helped things and maybe with players getting healthy and Risner hopefully replacing Ingram, then things can improve there, but there is not much time for them to get the season righted and they have a couple really tough matchups with KC and the Niners coming up. The running game was better today, but Mattison is really struggling to protect the ball (nearly had 2 more fumbles today). Chandler showed some burst today, but we need to see a lot more from the ground game. They are in a great place with the receivers. Osborn had an off day, but Addison has been a really nice number 2 receiver. As for Cousins, I get frustrated with him holding onto the ball too long and he's had some times where he's forced the ball into tight windows leading to turnovers, but the OL and running game has been a bigger issue than him. I would still like to go in a different direction at QB longterm, but we don't have that on the roster currently.
Herbert was 40 of 47
K Allen 18 catches on 20 targets
Embarrassing
Sure, but good for my fantasy team.

Woohoo! Silly call to go on 4th down by Chargers, LOL!
That was a truly moronic decision that should've cost them the game. Unfortunately, the Vikings follow it up with one of their own by not clocking the ball, taking a breath and letting the crowd noise die down.
Thats cause we were all screaming to clock the F'ing ball lol!
Cousins leads the league in passing yards, Jefferson leads the league in receiving yards, Hunter leads the league in sacks. Vikings 0-3.

Vikings lead the league with TO's?
I believe we're at 9 now?

I don't know, but I'd be shocked if our TOs didn't lead the league. Story of our season really, followed closely by the fact that our blitzes are routinely managed by the opposition's OL.

Kirk wasn’t the problem. Any time he had +0.5 seconds he was fine. Looking forward to Risner starting next week.
That Jefferson injury didn’t look like cramps. It looked like an ACL.
I guess you could atempt a Jets trade with Kirko. Not sure what you’d get to save their season. If we’re 0-3 and hypothetically JJ came back on the field with adrenaline only??? Maybe it is time lol.
Yes he was, stareing down receivers, lazy in the pocket, poor ball placement, no recognition of game situation...he is most definitely part of the problem. Not solely his to bear, but at his position, his tenure, and his pay, very much a big part of this loss.
Agree with Jimmy on this, the last sequence should all be you need to see that he lacks leadership of a veteran in that situation. I mean close to the endzone, no timeouts, and the clock is running and he is waiting for a call to come in from the coach. Total lack of situational football.
Our defense is what it is, an undertalented roster that we’re
hoping scheme will help protect. They’re
going to struggle when going against good offenses, especially QBs that are
good against the blitz and with receivers that outclass our DBs. Our team is built for our offense to outscore
the other team in relatively high scoring games, and our offense just isn’t
performing to the level that they need to.
That said, I think we saw some good things this game. Our running game was “productive” and for the
first time in forever we saw some quick passes and they worked. Hopefully, they will continue to expand on
those two areas.
Really hard to believe that we could not win a game that was handed to us on a silver platter with the Staley 4th down call. I guess he was let off the hook because we choked but he should be shit-canned immediately for that one.

Good observation here. If Mattison follows Mundt and Oliver around the left side he probably scores.

I'm not some film savant or football genius but even I noticed a couple lanes throughout the game that Mattison could have hit and didn't. He still had a decent game but I think Akers is going to be getting half the carries soon, probably as early as this week. What he does with them I'm not sure but I have a feeling Mattison is going to be on the outs within the next month unless his play sharply improves. Chandler looks a lot faster than Mattison as well.
