Yes I wanted a win, but at least the Vikings were in this fight, all the way to the end. That's better than the first two games.
I honestly think this team will find 6 wins this season. That would mean going 6-7 the rest of the way, which seems optimistic, but there's no doubt now that they are not going to intentionally tank and there are signs of improvement. If this was a young team being rebuilt, we would all appreciate those improvements.
But 6 wins, or even 5, will probably leave them drafting around #7-10 and beyond the reach of a franchise QB, and that won't matter anyway because Spielman and Zimmer will remain and keep Cousins and say that 2020 was just an off year jinxed with injuries and not enough time to prepare the team due to the pandemic.
I think Jefferson's emergence was a key to many of the other improvements like Cook's yardage. Without Diggs, we were simple for other teams to defend, but the offensive braintrust decided to give the rookie a shot, and look what happened.
