No flex until week 11. Vikings will be on primetime once again.

Because it is almost like trying to intentionally lose a game, I suppose I will listen to the post-Vikings game call in show, appropriate for Halloween coming up.

Well the good thing is that the defense held the other team to under 30 points.

Welp, I've officially started drinking this evening. All that excitement for a killer season going into Sept has completely dissipated. Looking forward to the draft.

Can't wait to read Wobby attempting to take any positives from this abysmal game tomorrow.
My kingdom for a franchise quarterback.

That game was over in the first 3-4 minutes - I've never seen that happen, before.
A successful coach needs a patient wife, loyal dog, and great quarterback - and not necessarily in that order.

I posted this thought earlier - I honestly think Frazier threw this game, just to see Freeman for the whole game. Even the announcers were wondering in the early third quarter why we would not pull him.

They obviously don't know Frazier too well if they were seriously putting a lot of thought into that. ;)

Defensive game ball for the Vikings: Hakeem Nicks.

Reuban Randle looked like Randy Moss on that TD pass. Why didn't they throw to him 20 times? He was the best receiver on the field tonight.

Anybody defended by Chris Cook becomes Randy Moss.

:rofl: So true! Has anyone told our CBs that they CAN try and catch the ball too?!! Drives me absolutely nuts when they make NO attempt to make a play on the ball! A lot of times they don't even look up; don't ever SEE the ball!!

LOL! That TD Cook gave up was brutal. Does he think defense just means running with the receiver? He made no effort to make a play on the ball. He just ran and got beat, despite being in decent position to actually break up the play.

Ha, ha. I was editing my post above while you were posting yours I guess. I was adding the same thing you said about making no effort to make a play on the ball. Ridiculous!

Cook never makes plays on the ball. I know I say it a lot, but we have started this guy about 40 times and he has more
criminal arrests than forced fumbles and interceptions. Our secondary is inexcusably bad talent wise and scheme wise and coaching.
