I'm not surprised you're deflecting after all the terrible defenses of this team you've made. But hey, like I said, the results speak for themselves. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TecmoSuperJoe Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Damn I really thought the Vikings would win at least one game. Defense in the playoffs is just too vital. Can't blame this one on Cousins? Didn't see most of the game live, so I don't know the buzz on how he played overall, but yeah...giving up 31 points to the Giants at home in the playoffs is bad. Good on NYG though. What a great coaching job by Daboll. He's got to have secured COTY even more so now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn’t lucky at all that JJ had maybe the greatest catch ever on fourth and long and then Josh Allen fumbled the snap in his own end zone. It wasn’t lucky at all lucky the Colts blew the largest lead in NFL history. (Anyone got more of the top of their head?) They just had a really good offense!!!(that couldn’t win a shootout vs Daniel Jones) No luck needed! At all! I read somewhere that it was because they had grit and worked harder than most to achieve those consecutive 1 score wins in the regular season. shame they weren't able to show that in the biggest game of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apparition Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 (edited) to me, this is just a bad play call. Why not run a crosser at the sticks with Jefferson or Thielen in that situation? Barring that, why no hot route in the middle of the field? Edited January 16, 2023 by Apparition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giants defense on the other hand gave up so many open throws. They better clean it up before next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasquatch Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 When you’ve been as futile as the Vikings have been their entire history, it’s easy to see why Vikings fans jump straight to silver linings, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they liked that matchup and wanted to isolate Hock. If it was an option route, going inside was probably the better one as you remove the sideline as a defender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TecmoSuperJoe Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Jefferson only had 47 yards on 7 catches. Ouch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the 4th down play, as someone else said, was just another block in the meme-ability of kirk cousins (throwing short of the sticks on 4th down) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
