They are the best team in the NFC right now.  Sounds like they may be getting Crosby from the Raiders now as well.  Wonder if the Vikings are thinking of any big moves before the trade deadline.  

If not the Vikes I’m pulling for the kitties. Fun team to watch

Yeah, missed a face mask but that didn't lose that game.  Stafford only pressured 4 times?  4?  With Kupp and Nacua you're screwed there guys....sorry.

I'm fine with KOC calling the plays but someone needs to do a better job of getting in his ear on the game management side of things.  Uff it's bad at times, borderline terrible.

Darrisaw getting hurt is the same play calling karma that got Kirk.  What are we doing there?  Now without him for a few weeks at least.

KOC definitely seems to struggle at in game adjustments.  Fast out of the gate, then they constantly get outplayed.  The defensive pressure was abysmal.

My biggest issue is game management in regards to clock management.  The Green Bay game.....Up 28-0 with a minute left in the half....3rd and 1.....run the damn ball Kevin.  If you don't get it the half is over with.....Green Bay isn't taking a time out to get the ball at their 10.  Instead its 28-7 now because we tried a slant route to our 4th WR (also our punt returner), who got hurt then Nailer (backup punt returner) fumbled the Packer punt and we gave them a freebie TD.

Same game....up 28-7 on the Packer 20.....2nd and 1.....run the damn ball Kevin.  Instead we try to play hero ball and Green Bay gets the ball after we throw an interception.  Instead of two minutes off the clock and at least a 31-7 lead, Green Bay has new life. 

Last night, you get the ball back at the 45 at the end of the 2nd half.  Jones has been pounding them in the run game....under 5 minutes left.....run the damn ball Kevin.  Instead we give them the ball back with a chance to score because we lost 10 yards on first down trying to run down the field routes.

And now Darrisaw is out for the season and possibly some of next season.  Going to be really tough to win that division with a backup left tackle.  Not sure what is available in the left tackle trade world.

A win is a win I guess.  I'd assume Indy will go back to Richardson at QB.  Ugly football game to say the least....

I'm fine with the Vikings playing at noon on Sundays.  These late night games mess with a guy's sleep cycle....

One of my teams won this weekend!

go Vikes!!

Would've made for a dreary weekend if the Purple hadn't won last night....

Sets up an interesting matchup in Jacksonville.  The Jags played Philly really tough, in a very very tough place to play.  They took the Packers to the limit the week before that.  I've got a lot of respect for coaches who have won a Superbowl, and Pederson can beat you on any given week.  Gotta find a way to win the next two weeks to get it to 8-2 heading into Chicago.  I'd take being 8-3 coming off of this three game road stretch.
