Vikings need a QB1, Wentz is a back-up and mediocre starter
1 td in 6 trips to the red-zone??
D couldn't get Hurts down, gave up crucial big plays to Brown/Smith
Lets get JJM healthy and playing...Lets see what we got

The offense was a bigger problem, absolutely...but, this was a "team loss".
I agree 100%

Absolutely! Add the ever revolving offensive line issues.

And what the fuck is with running the game clock down to under 5 ticks on every single damn play? KOC and the QB are their own worst enemy in most of these losses.
Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?

Winnable game, lots of blame to go around. I know the Eagles have a good line but we got zero pressure on Hurts all day. Wentz had his moments but too many misses. Need to rebound quickly with the short week heading to Los Angeles against a good Chargers team

To be fair Wentz hasn’t been a Viking for 2 months yet. I expect there to be communication issues.

Rodgers picked the wrong game to shit the bed. Not sure if he expected S help on the long TD to Smith.
Brandel was awful
1 for 6 in the red zone after being one of the better teams was frustrating.
Running game needs an infusion of speed. Mason is a great change of pace, but doesn’t have the juice to be RB1.
Turner walked back Lane Johnson all game

We got pressure on Hurts but just couldn’t finish.

I really thought we would excel at rushing the passer this year - without having to blitz.
Makes me question those big FA signings along the DL. Frankly, one of my bigger disappointments besides not being able to see JJM play as much as I wanted to.
2 sacks season to-date for Hargrave and 0 for Allen...Not sure of the pressures - but I dont see Greenard or Turner eating big on Sundays

Wentz played a tough game, took a lot of shots and kept grinding, can't expect a lot more from someone who is a backup and just joined the team before the 1st game. OL that was suppose to be so much better got dominated most of the game especially when it really counted.
Defense needed to step up and they failed on every big play. Offense playing with a backup QB, but no excuse for the defense. Pretty tired of hearing how great Flores is and see him come in unprepared on the first series of every game and totally get outcoached. Not sure anyone, but Flores thought that Philly's 5th corner was a starter, Philly sure knew the deal and exposed it all day. If Van Ginkel is not back next game, someone other than Turner needs to start there. Bummer, cause with a decent defensive game we win that game.
