Minnesota Vikings 2019 Season Thread

Another quarter to play and sure looks like 49,ers got this !

Too bad they couldn’t at least show some fight rather than fold like a cheap suit

Gods have mercy!
I lost reception

Knew it may happen as NBC is iffy where I’m at. Good timing so I can focus on my smoke/grill on my new vintage kamado featuring a small chuck roast. I hope they can pull it off.

the doupleganger team won the toss.

Two random thoughts:

1. It’s a good thing Stefanski interviewed for a head coaching job Thursday and not now.

2. I feel like, all things considered, I can view things with a silver lining knowing the Vikings overachieved and I have probably seen Rhodes in a Vikings uniform for the last time.

The Pack won’t have a chance if they win tomorrow, they still need at least another year to recover from Ted Thompson rein as a GM. Thank god the sperm dumpsters still suck.don’t need to listen to their crap for another year.

Whoa

Another typical Vikings year.

Next year, next year is our year. Kirk will be ready.

(Serious sarcasm)

Kyle shanahan is the real deal.

Sorry, there here to stay.

“It’s a good thing Stefanski interviewed for a head coaching job Thursday and not now.”
I want to believe he has been throttled by Zimmer. Why I say this is the track record supports this.

Two things:

The 49ers are the better team. However,

The play calling absolutely sucked. Typical conservative crap. Wish Zimmer would be gone..

The night and day difference in play by the O-line per game is quite staggering, Cousins had no time to do anything…Elflien cannot play guard period. That 49ers defensive front is young and fast, let’s hope we can fill some holes in the draft…

Now to cheer for the seachickens tomorrow….

How can the play callers get creative if Cousins can’t even plant his feet before getting sandwiched between three rushers?

That was maybe the worst O-line performance I have ever seen, particularly from Elflein and Reiff. It was like they were playing patty cake. They lost the game. They prevented Cousins and Cook from getting anything going.

well they were a 6 seed so roughly the 10-12th best team in the NFL. they finished higher than 95% of the nation thought and took out the 3rd best team in the NFL so it finished a little better than it should have.

Wholly carpet, 10 points? Well we know green bay is out
The fix went somewhere totally unexpected.

Stefanski is brutal with his calls the last 2 games and I sure hope he aced his interview with the Browns! Zimmer is here to stay and his conservative style does irk me, but they need a couple more playmakers on D and Elflein needs to be REPLACED if they plan on playing against the big boys.

You don’t have to bring family issues in on a Vikings thread. The Vikes lost a game and GB will tomorrow. No biggie. But keep family issues at home, eh.

Can I ask the score of the game here? I did actually cancel my cable on September 24th. So I couldn’t get the game.

I would goggle the score but I have no internet service. Thanks.

Just one player away from the super bowl, oh wait, that was last year.

Now there’s an adult comment.

The offense was abysmal other than one big play to Diggs. The defense looked worn out and tired especially in the second half. Plus the niners looked so much fresher with having a bye last week. They will likely be representing the NFC in the super bowl.

Simply a ugly game for the Vikings. They were totally outplayed in every area. Sadly they need to improve in way to many areas and this owner is not likely to open his checkbook to fill all their needs. I’m sure the owner and this poop coach will think this was a good season. One win in the playoffs and I’m sure they think the season was a success. Typical Vikings team. Give the fans a little bit of hope – then come out and play like a week college team. I’m keeping my vow. If Cousins, Zimmer, and Rhodes is with this team next season I’m not watching 1 game. More time to fish and hunt and a lot better on my Blood Pressure !!!

Similar to the Gophers this year; outplayed expectations but those that thought they had a chance for a deep run in the playoffs were dreaming.

Horrible spots to take sacks but I didn’t understand punting in the 4th quarter.

Thanks Titans! With the 25th pick in the 2020 NFL draft, the Minnesota Vikings select?

I think the Wilf’s are great owners who aren’t shy when it comes to paying players. I also am confident that just advancing in the playoffs won’t satisfy them. It’s obvious they want a Lombardi trophy badly.

Their playcalling is a rollercoaster and today they were playing not to lose.
They get outcoached fairly regularly, a good OC is darn near as important as the head coach.

And by the way, the 49er’s are a very good team!

they played not to lose last week and got lucky. not sure who is making the calls but those are fireable offenses. they played tired and did not take the steps to play like a champion. its all fun and games until someone gets punched in the mouth. they got punched and did not retaliate. what can us fans do? nothing really…….I’m going fishing tomorrow!

Dying to hear what kind of play calling would have worked once the run was shutdown and Cousins became one dimensional. Did Cook take a dive or just not show up?

Ya’ll may want to remember the guys on the other side get paid also. Their guys were better then our guys. Their coaches were better then our coaches. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that.
