The Vikings will stay in games, but.....
...they'll also keep the other team close. Going to be a long season of high drama.
Yep Sticky, they never make it easy
We don’t have an elite team. We have a good team. Its encouraging that weve been able to keep games close. even when its not a given that they should.
its all the dumb shit that happens.
like that strip sack
Also, they dont play well with the lead. There seems to be a a let up in intensity once they get the lead after trailing.
Giving me more gray hairs watching these close games .....
winning is winning
I know conventional wisdom is to run the ball and force the other team to burn timeouts but that damn near cost us the game. Know what else forces them to use timeouts? First downs. They had 2 consecutive 3 and outs down the stretch and only forced the cards ro burn 1 timeout. This has been an issue in previous games as well, KOC needs to get off that run run pass mentality to let the air out of the game.

You have to play to your strength and we are not doing that.
Lets see...
Winning close games is a f*&@ of a lot better than losing em.
6/1 is awesome and now there's more pressure on GB to try and keep pace tonight.
We'll see how they do when they face more elite teams in the coming weeks, but I like where they're at record wise.
We won by 8 and led pretty much the entire game! Bask in that shit... Save the complaining for tomorrow.
BOOM
There is nothing to complain about, we are 6-1 and have lost only to one of the top 3 teams in the league. I am enjoying the season alot. We are winning and still not clicking on all cylinders. If this team clicks we are a contender for the whole thing.
The only things that pissed me off today were the penalties, Kendricks trying to tackle the ball first allowing the TD and some dishonorable mentions for Joseph and Ingram.

In fairness to Ingram he is a rookie facing a future pro Bowler, im gonna cut him some slack.
Greg Joseph. Sigh. We had some hopes. Has missed 5 FGs and 3 XPs so far this year.

Weird thing is, he went 7-9 on 50+ yard FGs last season. I'm not kicking coach and never was a kicker, but it looks like he's trying to drive it too low and just needs to find his stroke again. Maybe we stop trotting him out there for 55-57 yd FGs too? Just go for it until we get into a more comfortable range for him?
