Waste of a first half

The Vikings just can't close. A good team would have finished this game with a win. This was Matt Moore....lol. Road games are rarely easy but this was oh so winnable.

No way Minnesota is part of the NFC elite. 

I was just going to watch the game and someone blurted the score...Dayum

So Diggs, Thielen, Johnson: combined 2 catches for 8 yards?

Am I reading that right?

WTF?

pathetic gameplan on both sides of the ball. So many overpriced players on defense as well.

The 91 yarder by Williams was a gut wrenching fluke play.  The D played an explosive team as well as I thought.  We had a sack on the QB with a fumble but couldn't get the recovery.  Griffin played great as did Odenigbo.

But the first half was cutesy and gimmicky and an utter waste of our running game.

The OL couldn't block. Cousins had some throws sail. The play calling sucked. The secondary was old and slow. The defense was having issues tackling. Running game was not utilized enough. Diggs had 4 yards. But other than that, it was what it was. Reid gameplanned well. He negated the pass rush with the hurry up. They moved the chains. On top of all that, Thielen reaggravated his hamstring.

The old Cousins returned. Couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.

Thats what I figured seeing his box-score of 3 td's and 0 int's... ;)

Kirk missed plenty of throws, but this wasn't his worst game by a long shot.  I wasn't just him though.  The entire team just looked a bit off on both sides of the ball.
They aren't good enough to win and not be at their best, especially on the road.

He has always put up good numbers. Champions get the ball in the fourth quarter, drive down and win the game. Cousins goes 3 and out. Point is, he didn't lose this game, but had ample opportunity to win it and with his 50% completion stat. he failed. That's KC. 
The game was lost from poor line O-play, Lack of D-line pressure until late in the game, poor scheme and/or Coaching on offense and defense.
The defense let some guy I never heard of run about 125 yds in 12 plays, including a 91 yd. td. And all their great zone coverage wasn't so great.
So no, KC is not the reason they lost. But he could have won it and that's a disappointment.
