Nice drive by Cousins. He's actually done that several times this season. One ended with a Cook fumble and the other was a missed chip shot field goal.

I have thought many times “That is the most Viking thing ever.” And then they just outdo themselves again and again.
Never leave Kirk Cousins with 32 seconds on the clock!
I was at the game and decided to start heading out after Goff took back to back sacks with about 4 mins left...
...and watched the last minute of the game on the light rail via phone. Whoops.
I'll take the dub, though. Ignorance of the terrible football between is sort-of bliss, I guess.

Half of Spielman’s first round picks I would label as busts. He had no input on Ponder IIRC.
Edit: you are correct. He was GM for the Ponder draft year. He’s horrible. Always has been.

Him and mike are short for the world with the Vikings in my opinion
Yep, the Vike’s only two victories are over two of the worst teams in the entire NFL! Gotta beat the good and better teams, starting next week!
Are Rick and Zimmer a package deal? I wonder how much of the endless CB bust picks and huge contracts to defensive players while they've had years with a practice squad level OL has been Zimmer pushing for it.
The Vikings are still 8th in the league in cap allocation to the defense and 19th in offense. Interestingly enough they are 9th in scoring defense and 19th in scoring offense. In yds/g the offense is better and the defense worse. So it will be interesting to see how it plays out, but it looks like neither unit is really over/under performing, and they are even in TO margin. Basically it's the recipe for a .500 team unless something changes. And I'd say losing to Cincy and Arizona probably means more like a 7-9 team. They should beat the Panthers and come out of the buy 3-3, but then the schedule has a really tough stretch.
Sure, but GMs are fired independent of coaches and vice versa. Over the last couple of "Black Mondays" more often than not one or the other was fired, not both.
When you're jumping up and down postgame for barely beating a winless Lions team, it's time to show Trader Rick and Zim the door.
This win was pointless and the staff needs to go. They are stale, and unimaginative. Not much of an identity on offense at all so not really sure what Kubiak is doing. Need to start fresh and get some energy into this franchise. Ain't winning a damn thing with this current staff.
This right here. What is their identity? What are they really good at? Are they original or innovative? Will they ever be able to beat 3 great teams in a row? If not, time to move on. Will always be mediocre at best.
I know it was one game.. But Darrisaw needs to start every healthy down for the remainder of the season...
Looking forward.. If this offense can settle the LT position.. We are really only 1 piece away from being ELITE. Upgrading from Bradbury is the #1 priority and a new offensive minded coach would be GREAT! I hope the Wilfs are already courting Brian Daboll (Bills o-cordinator). He's young, on offense and is a Belichick disciple. Sign me up
The defense way lose Hunter this offseason, which means a complete rebuild around Smith and Kendrick's. Someone with fresh eyes and plays a modern defense would be awesome. Bring on the 3-4

With 5mins left and the game up 10, I muttered "got to drive and score here or it gets ugly." Basically a 3 and out, followed by a minor sign of life Detroit fg. Then the drive with 2:30 left, Zim should've been fired on the spot, YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME!.
I have been a hardcore Kirk hater, and still am (nice drive to take this Lions game back though), but its now very clear to me that coaching is the main issue. Bye Zim.
If the cousins experiment is to continue, it has to be with a new coach, and might as well do it now, this season is a loss anyways.

Took a last second fg... That is not impressive. Even this team should beat Detroilet handily. This team is headed nowhere so why wait until the end to can some people and head a new direction?
