Vikings get some good news with Bryce Young returning from injury and getting the start. No, I don't think Young is bad. He could easily slice up this Vikings defense. But the Vikings record the past 5 years against marginally talented veteran backups like Andy Dalton is ghastly.

Just played an Uno reverse on them with that turnover/touchdown. This is a seriously ugly game by two teams trying to find out which is the sloppiest

Davenport showing up today. Our defense has looked great today but it helps when the opposition has no playmaker and a rookie quarterback who is a midget.

There is 0.0 pass rush when we go straight up.  We have the tools on offense but this defense just has no playmakers outside of Hunter.

No pocket collapsers. It's why we are the most blitz heavy team in the league. Davenport has hit the quarterback more today than he did the entirety of last season

He did look good. Still not sure that Frank the Tank wasnt the right direction.

It still could be. Chiefs and 49ers in two of the next three weeks. 

Nice to win. Ugly game against a team that really is hot dog shit. They could legit end up picking 1st overall and the Bears have their pick..

I didn't watch the beginning but saw the last 7 minutes.
The last play was intentional grounding. That's what Adam Thielen was talking to the refs about. Which is a loss of down so  possession would go to the Panthers. I don't know if the rules would allow an un-timed down in that situation.

Meh, he looked outside the pocket. He should have taken a knee.

Yikes!!

Today is how this team has to win this year. Opportunistic play from D, KC to JJ. 

I actually liked what I saw from Akers today.

Good go see Davenport flash and get on the field. Maybe that'll still end up being a nice signing.

Yup because we continue to kill ourselves with penalties and turnovers. Our margin of error is paper thin as the mistakes amplify things and make it difficult to overcome our talent deficiencies at certain positions. 

Nice to get the running game going a little today and made our play calling balance almost even for the first time this year. When you struggle in pass protection like we do, that's big

I said that to a friend right after it happened. I dont know why Cousins did not just back pedal and take a knee. We had just two seconds to burn.

Well, we can look at it this way;
If we get away with things like that 584 more times then we'll be even.

 it was amazing how much more effective he became when he actually blitzed the QB instead of the retarded looping blitz we have seen the first 3.5 games.  first half today he was blitzing upfield and then trying to turn and rush the QB in the pocket ( I am assuming this was about taking away the teams desire to back side boot,  but for fuck sake, lets make them actually do it first?)  but then, suddenly he started targeting the QB where he actually was and ... fuck me!!! he started affecting the damn play.
