I would have kept feeding the Jefferson beast until they proved they could stop it...

You can call it conservative play calling, I call it no killer instinct.

Zimmer has always been that way. Get the lead, sit on it and hope the defensive can preserve the win...

Vikings offense is dead last in average yards to gain on 3rd down with 8.7. Stop running the ball on second and long and throw to your studs

Isn't this what Diggs was frustrated about among other things? Anyway Diggs was the cancer.

Can't blame him, he probably didn't want to have his QB sneak up on him again and pound his chest

Absolutely and now he gets to be utilized to his fullest. If they aren't careful, Jefferson could leave too.

He could have had 250 yards receiving with that secondary

I wonder if the playcalling and time management would be viewed differently by fans if they had won against the Bengals and Cardinals? Both games were well within reach for wins (on the road).

But, running out the clock beginning with the 2nd half is a little frustrating. That is not the halftime adjustment I care to see.

The Vikings seem to like sitting on a lead, even when they don’t have it.
