I have a question on the last INT in the Hawks game.  I do so enjoy the talking heads putting that INT on Geno, but he looked pissed after that lazy route by the all talk DK.

Did anyone else see this?  He ran like he wasn't expecting the ball, which makes me wonder why?  Supposedly their best WR in crunch time.  

I do so enjoy watching the hawks get whooped at home.  They are still chirpy, emotional seahags that can't lose often enough for me.

Perhaps DK is like that, not the most crisp route runner. I believe one of the announcers had commented on the route during the replay of the int. Geno did look a little pissed ad DK.

With that said, Geno was very lucky the D dropped a couple of potential picks earlier in the game or it probably wouldn't have been close.

True, not defending Geno, he is an adequate NFL starter.  But that was a horrible route IMO.

That was mostly on Metcalf for not running a crisp route.

But some defender was right in Geno's face when he threw that ball too. I just cant remember who - but they are an unheralded hero imo.

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

That was Ward #52.

DK was barely targeted after the first TD catch. He's an emotional guy and Geno struggles to get him the ball and keep him involved. I guess I ain't gonna fault DK when the dude is out busting his ass trying to get open all game and Geno doesn't treat him like the #1 WR on the team.

Announcer seemed to think it was on the WR, however we had 3 defenders in the area, so was well covered either way
