Vikings fans...

X Rhoades has got to go. He is a severe liability now. It's sad to watch.
Very fortunate to pull this out today.

They stopped going at Rhoads in the 4th qtr and tried going at Waynes but Waynes made some great plays. I was nervous about that because he gets called for PI a lot, but he held his own.

I hope we trade Rhoads and maybe some desperate team wanting a veteran corner will give up a 2nd round pick. Realistically though I would expect a 3rd or 4th rounder. I wouldn't mind drafting Diggs' brother, he has some good coverage skills.

Cousins and Stefanski won this game

Vikings have a top 10 offense and defense this year. Neither unit is consistently dominate, like the defense was for a couple years, but either unit can win you a game. The offense is a bit ahead of the defense right now.

Cousins and Stefanski won this game

If all those five yards passes in the first half were dialed up by Stefanski, I'm glad he figured out that you've got to throw down field, at least occasionally.

The first half was atrocious, but the last 20 minutes of football were fantastic, and most importantly, enough to win.

Cousins won that game today in spite of garbage defense and no running game to speak of. There is no other explanation.

Let the record reflect that Kirk Cousins won a game from 3 scores behind, and a 20-0 halftime deficit -- a feat teams were previously 0-99 in completing.

They are now 1-99, and that 1 is Kirk Freakin' Cousins, everybody.

Wasn't Cousins the last QB to come back from 20 down when he was in Washington? The infamous "How do you like me now?" game.

He definitely thrives when everyone is against him. He got the big contract, and was ok last year, then started off pretty bad this season. The fans and everyone else started to turn on him and he's been fantastic the last 4-5 games. He was really bad in the first half today, then tore it up after he and the team got booed going into half time.

Something like that yeah, but this stat I believe is limited to just >=20-0 halftime scores, hence the 1-99 record.

Insane. Against a top-5(?) defense, that's taking control of a game.

JFC that was a hell of a 3rd qtr by the Vikes tonight.

The offense didn't come back out after halftime.

 

[AuH2O]

offense has put them in some tough spots but this Vikings defense is so ******* overrated. Spend pick after pick on CBs and trot ******* Rhodes out there. Huge contracts all over the defense and they miss tackles and get worked up front.

They've been out there almost the entire second half.

 

[BCClone]

All seems to be fine to me.

Meh, spending the picks and contracts they have and having a defensive minded coach I don't think giving up fewer than 34 is a real big ask.

The offense turned it over twice inside their own 30. Maybe the offense shouldn't suck so much.

Minnesota Vikings = Iowa State Cyclones of the NFL.... sigh

 

[cycloneG]

I honestly didn't think I could see worse special teams tonight than what I saw on Saturday but it happened. Amazing.

Yeah weird that they skimp on $ and picks in the OL and it sucks.
I'm not saying the offense did its job, it did not. Put up yards but couldn't score and turned over with two short fields.
But if you are going to spend picks and contract dollars like they do on defense it should absolutely carry the team. Giving up 450 yards and 37 points is bad regardless of the situation. Gave up almost 400 yards to the Broncos with Brandon Allen at QB.

Vikings have the highest cap allocation to defense in the league. They need to be better.

They have a conceivable chance too win their 1st super bowl or perhaps a 8th postseason win since 1989
