Here we go again

No defense will not win many games

Who’s the idiot calling the defensive coverages? Zimmer needs to go now!!!!!!

Every friggin game is like a roller coaster with this team.

I was kind of following the game, but not closely. Did we stop them at all in the second half??

Hard fought game, but in the end it wasn’t good enough (again)

Coming into the game, I thought the Offense needed to perform flawlessly to win, so I was not big on our chances. I am surprised we were able to keep it that close with all the offensive mistakes and injuries.

Hate to say it, but the 2021 season looks like it is going down the path of 2020 injury-wise. If Kirk plays like last week, the season ends this week. If the offense doesn’t score 30-plus, I think we lose to the Lions.

Apparently Michael Pierce is finally going to suit up today.

X2. Taking the Lions to cover the 7 points.

I wonder who decided those Detroit uniforms were a good look?

For reasons unknown to me the game is on CBS.

Agree on the injury front.
The lions have put up 20 pts once this year.

The Vikings haven’t really laid an egg this year. I think today may be the day

well………..so far its a really big egg!!!!!!!!!!!

Not really surprised by how the first half went down. Losing 19 on the first series was brutal. The Vikes only hope now is that the Lions think they have already won the game. I don’t see that happening. This really isn’t even embarrassing. The Vikes just don’t have the horses to be competitive in this game.

…..and the worst TD dance in the NLF is being done by other players and has a name – “The Griddy”

I wouldn’t call losing with 50 seconds left in regulation “laying an egg.”

They haven’t been blown out in a single game this season may be the more correct terminology.

Fire Zimmer right f****** now!

I’m not sure if this is performance or play-call, but the defense appeared to be in some sort of zone, and not 1 but 2 CB’s were in a position to cover that TD pass but were playing way too soft and deep.

Gotta love the grit and fight in our Vikings. They almost won!! Poor Paul Allen, gonna be excuse a Rama tomorrow for very entertaining radio

All the analysis in the world doesn’t matter. The BS falls on the head coach at a certain point.

Darrisaw is hurt again, the Vikings season is over, and Mac Jones and the Patriots are marching towards the playoffs.

I hope they clean house thoroughly

Anybody ever think that we just aren’t very good?? Starting over won’t help, this team hasn’t changed in decades. They are what they are

But, they make money

They’ve whiffed on too many first rounders in my opinion. They neglect adding draft capital to the defensive line, they failed to address the OL until the past few drafts.

Ding ding ding! As long as they sell out every home game, no reason to change a thing.

Fooled me for the last time today. Every other team deals with injuries. We got handled……

They layed an egg. Embarrassed the fan base on national TV.

Prevent defense with three rushing lineman ? Four rushing was tough enough, but 3 ?

Goff ain’t great, but he is seasoned enough to pass his way to that victory. Just think of where he was a couple years ago leading the Rams.

Core players on this team are excellent players and they have played well against some teams that should push deep into the play-offs.

Remember that we also have a rookie OC that earned his job primarily via his last name ??

Something they are actual pros at doing!
