    So we can lose. ?

  • False start?

  • Last two offensive drives we played not to lose. Maybe we had to maybe we didn’t. 
     

    Secondary got exposed a little too.

    Vikes did their homework and called a great offensive game.


    Johnathan Vilma is annoying 

  • Covered at +4.5

  • We need a new coach. This was horrible coaching. 

  • Covered at +4.5

    I’m so tired how inconsistent they call false starts on the tackles. Absolutely no rhyme or reason on it, and Vikings tackle clearly kick stepped early on that TD play.

    I am again going to call out Kevin- the timeouts they called and when were objectively fucking horrible decisions.

    Got it Friday on Draft Kings

  • Damn if thrash had laid out he may have been able to extend the ball to the sideline and got out of bounds with 1 second left. I don't hate the cover 2 call on the Addison td it was just a perfect throw to fit it in behind corner in front of safety

    At that point time left on the clock wasn't going to be the issue of the Vikings scoring a fg or a td. They were already in range,  so Stefanski was calling timeouts to try and preserve time to have a chance to score before regulation.

  • That, was really hard to watch..

    I disagree, the Vikings only had one TO left. If Kevin would’ve saved the TO’s the pressure would be on the Vikings.

    Instead, he just snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

    They were already near the 20 yard line at worst they're attempting what is an extra point to send the game to overtime. If he started calling them at the 50 yard line I would agree with you but they were already in "chip shot" fg range when he started using them and there was 70 seconds left when he started calling them. 

  • Offensive play calling is just terrible, 3:00 minutes left in the game with a lead and the ball and you can’t close it out !  Well you deserve to lose

    Yeah a play action roll out when they were so geared up to stop the run would have been an easy first down and ran at least 40 more seconds off the clock and made the Vikes burn all 3 of their timeouts.

    I just watched that last minute of the game, the Viking had the ball on the 23 yard line with one minute on the clock when Kevin started burning timeouts.

    A chip shot FG sends it into OT, I could live with that.

    If they score a TD we still have all 3 timeouts left.

    We ended up down 4 points, with 70 yards to go with 21 seconds and no timeouts.

    Let me know how Kevin’s clock management worked out for us? ?

    Obviously not great but it doesn't make it the wrong decision. Let's say on 3rd and 4 from the 17 with 59 seconds left the browns get the stop and force a fg. If Minnesota makes it the browns then have 50 seconds left to get in fg range and it looks like a great decision and then you're praising the timeout usage. If the Vikings didn't have a timeout themselves I would agree the browns shouldn't have called timeouts but the fact is that they had one. I have the same viewpoint regardless of the outcome the timeouts were the right call.  He was playing for the win in regulation which I always want my team/coach to do.

    I have no problem with burning timeouts, you just don’t start using them with a minute left in the game.

    I would rather be in the situation you stated than if they had scored with 3 seconds left and we had all 3 timeouts left
