• Way to go Sam…! SKOL

After a terrible three game stretch, I think Cousins has a bounce back game. But not enough to win it. Atlanta is good, probably the best team we've faced since the Rams game way back in October, but the Vikings are the better team, and they're playing at home. Hard to see them dropping this one. Vikings 30 Falcons 21.

Standouts: Jordan Addison, TJ Hockenson, Grady Jarrett, Drake London. Jamin Davis gets a sack.

Kinda nailed it with the Jamin Davis and Jordan Addison predictions.

Hock was solid.

Grady Jarrett stood out more for his offsides penalties.  Ray Ray was the standout Falcons receiver.  Drake London should have had one less catch (and another INT for Kirk since Griffin had 2 hands on the ball and Drake had one).

I thought we would've had more sacks/pressures than we did...I dont think they wanted to Blitz Kirko much till they had a bit of cushion on the scoreboard.

I saw Turner flash a bit today too!!

350 yards, 5 TDs, 0 INTs, 157 passer rating.

Amazing...Oh my how he's making it hard to say goodbye. 

I agree with Olsen today, Sam is taking his game from manager to off-script excellence. 

Testament to him and KOC/coaches. Vikings better have a real deal QB in McCarthy, or they are going to be skewered for letting one walk out the door.

A little off topic but interesting how the Rams went toe to toe with Buffalo and beat them in a shootout.
They could be a tough wild card team if they make it into the playoffs.

Its not necessarily the ones you fear all season,  its the ones that hang around and quietly lay a smack down in the playoffs that scare me most.

Today was the most points a KOC team ever scored...

That kinda concerns me,  but at the same time not really.  Is KOC to comfortable with a 2 score lead and lets off to early,  or is he always playing chess and trying to keep something in the back pocket for when we need it most?

I just love the fact that our reclamation qb clearly has far more upside and better performance than the guy who milked every last dime that he could from the franchise at the behest of building a better team around him.  Sam can make so many kinds of throws that Kurt can’t even contemplate.  He also has an entirely opposite mindset and likes to go for the dagger.  I like Kurt as a person, but always had a chip on my shoulder about his steadfastness in having to drain every last penny from the team to sign.

I so badly want to hear a Penix chant, Kirks a great human, but i really didnt care for his business approach and am grateful that they finally moved on.  Him leaving MN supposedly because he didnt want to be a mentor ( which honestly shocked me at this point in his career and being the type of person he is) only then to have Atl take one of the premium QBs in the draft really made me chuckle (especially when i called it months ahead of time after he signed)  still kinda bummed we didnt end up with Penix.. but totally happy with our consolation prize.

It's worse than that.   He has only won 1 playoff game and has made almost 300M.  It's crazy
