...give up a slew of huge runs, give up 3 early points, go for a 4th deep in our territory and bobble it...

...and Atlanta just got another 1st down.

EDIT! Incomplete pass by Penix.

BARTENDER!!!

KOC, JJM, Flores...make a good plan, or you'll be following Kwesi....

Apparently, one early growing pain with our young QB is bad starts to games.....

I think it's the whole team starting slowly...

4 sacks already...rough to watch.

At least we just got on the board.

Hopefully, KOC, Flores, and co. are learning QUICKLY.

Why didn't they call for a timeout to avoid the delay of game? I understand there was probably some confusion on the play clock and the ref wasn't letting McCarthy under center, but if the clock is that close, take the timeout and keep it at the 1 yd line? That was a weird one for sure...

Nailor making some nice catches so far!

...and a pick, continuing this pain-fest.

I really hope it doesn't take 3 quarters to get things figured out, this time.

Pick looked more like Nailor’s fault than JJM’s. DB went for the catch while Speedy waited for the ball. 

Addison can’t come back soon enough.

Injuries really piling up. 2/5 OL out making a huge impact on this game.

The Vikings coaches coach, and the Vikings players play.

Injuries happen. Next man up.

Vikings got this!

As a Vikings fan it's never easy. Never ever ever never.....

Awesome finish to the half. Reichard really clutch on that kick! Now we get the ball. Hopefully it's Mason and we can move the rock some. Mccarthy looks on point, he's just showing way too much faith in his offensive line. Get rid of the ball kid!

Starting the 2nd half with what looked to be JJM's second pick...happily, not, but DAMN.

Already worrying about the AFCN run....

The worst part of this season is we’re going to have to watch Green Bay be good. This is a learning year. To many injuries out there gate.

JJM seems to only throw fastballs.

...and/or short/low passes in too often.

Growing pains are pretty brutal.

Almost the 4th quarter, will the team miraculously wake up, again?

Strip sack, just to make it more painful.

WOW, guys...KOC, I'm mostly looking at you. Flores, you're next.

GET IT TOGETHER.

Viking TEs thru 7 1/2
quarters.

4 catches 40 yds. 0 TDs

Sacks yielded off edge?

Was literally just wondering what we’re paying Hockinsen and Oliver for. Certainly not to catch passes, so… ?

Home opener, big steaming pile laid by our team.

Our whole team looks "off", minus bursts of of competence.

...aaaaaaand the Falcons got in.

Horrible.

Growing pains... JJM is going to grow and learn, I have no doubt... But man, that is a frustrating 7 of 8 quarters.

And a muffed punt to put a cherry on this turd cake... ?
