What the fuck

Really, WTF...

As good as Cousins played most of the game, he will be remembered by a Checkdown Pass that had no chance for a first down. Game over. Baffling. 

Meh

You’re going to blame another thing on Kirk? Was anyone else open? Had he thrown a pick, you’d be pissed about that too.

Had they won, you’d be pissed when SF blew them out next week. 
It was a good season with a lot of fun games. Super Bowl wasn’t even thought of at the end of last season or the beginning of the year.

The defense let this team down, not Kirk’s last throw. At the very least, question the right things. Kirk’s play this entire year kept them in games when the defense shit the bed.

Defense was terrible.

Kirk was great.

Giants out played us. 

Kirk’s last throw/decision was terrible.

These things are all true. This sucks. 

I’ve grown to like Cousins much more this year and I’m ok with him starting next year. Regardless, the Vikings should still be drafting a QB this year. Need to plan for the future and I think KOC could do a really good job developing a young QB.

Offense was outscored the first 3 quarters all year,  the D giving up points doesn't prevent the O from answering,  all year the blame has been on the D,  but the O has repeatedly failed to answer the bell until they are down a couple score and forced to get aggressive,   some of that is play calling,  but some of that is on Kirk and the rest of the O.  Remember when the damn O is going 3 and out for a quarter or more, its the D that pays the price and they didnt need any more challenges.

I don’t think it’s the defense that killed us. I think it was the defensive coordinator. How many times did we blitz? Once? When we actually got a sack? We had the players all year on defense. But we didn’t have was a coordinator.

The defense killed us period. Not enough plays on offense because the defense couldn't get stops. Hockenson had a great game but not much for Jefferson in the second half. Thielen was watching Hockenson try to get a first down and gave up on a screen to Dalvin and did nothing. And that attempt at a jet sweep with Jefferson throwing it back to Cousins with no blockers, I just can't. But the defense gave up a shit ton of yards again but got no turnovers.

I guess giving up 31 points is no big deal then?  Or letting the opposing quarterback being almost the leading rusher?

And that stopped the O how?  How often does 24 points win a damn NFL game?

If the defense holds the other team to 21 points...

That’s a weird spin. But, I guess you’re entitled to saying what you want. 
I guess the offense is supposed to score every time they have the ball. Because every other team’s offense does that. The defense was hot garbage all year. They played well once in a while. 
I blame none of this game on the offense. The one questionable play call was the throw back to Cousins. But that wasn’t on Cousins.

slitting my wrists....wheres my electric razor?

We all knew how it would end.  we wouldnt get past the Niners

If anything, the offense needs to figure out what went wrong with regards to the run game this year.

No doubt, it was a great year, but the 49ers are on a different level.

Last play on fourth down which determines the end of the season.  Why not throw beyond the yard of gain?  May have a low probability of success with a longer throw but a pass well short of the sticks also has a low probability.  IMO, a bad decision.

I would have watched the game against the 49er's but would give the MV a low probability of winning.  SF is simply a better team.

Today's game was lost by our inept defense.  The DC has gotta go and we need definitely need some new talent on the D side.  KOC and KAM have their work cut out for them.  Keeping the current DC will piss off a lot of fans...

One and done sucks balls and at least for me (tonight) casts a different light on a very successful regular season. I'll probably lighten up on it soon, but tonight I am po'd. 

That last pass from KC was a terrible decision, very triggering for me back to check down Charlie

Where the fuck were the plays to JJ the second 1/2? And getting back to that last play to TJH - throw it to JJ and let him go get it or probably draw the PI

That trip by Cook was very costly...He might still be running to the end zone. 

Dumb 3/1 call by KOC too

Oh well, I didnt expect a deep play off run, but my hopes got raised and then dashed - see my sig.
