Aside from the MHJ touchdown, this was another nothing burger from this year's draft class. Actually, it was way worse than a nothing burger, as Adams had a big penalty, and Tip seemed determined to false start his way to defeat.

Also, I know it was only his game as a pro, but Darius Robinson made very little impact today. The times I watched him, he seemed to get handled pretty easily by the Vikings O-line.

My overreaction is we should have won but a young coach made poor choices, a young team made key mistakes, we fought an uphill battle on the penalty side, and Kyler shrank in big moments.

All of that and we lost by 1 on the road in a place we never win with a much worse roster.

I think we are so close it's maddening.

I’m still puzzled at this decision. Did Conner getting hurt forced this decision???
What's the solution going forward with this offense?

I think we can execute in the redzone better. Its just tough to get explosive plays right now.

Eh the rest of the game everyone was bitching about petzig being too conservative in the red zone. As usual, if the offense fails he can’t win with whatever he calls. That’s not defending petzig’s calls, but rather pointing out there is no way he’s winning no matter what.
Dawg I don’t care what other people were bitching about, I just I know I hated the hell out of that call. 1st & goal inside the 10 & instead of running the ball like we were doing that drive, we go 5 wide for no stupid ass reason which started the snowball effect. Just a completely stupid ass call from Petzing & his worst call since his tenure.

And it’s not even the conservatives vs aggressiveness right there. I’m okay with passing. Just don’t make it so damn predictable which is clearly was cause I knew wasn’t gonna QB power since he’s not Josh Allen or Anthony Richardson’s frame. There should have been a RB in the backfield, NOT EMPTY. @Ouchie-Z-Clown

Sam Darnold entered today 0-23 in his career as a starter when he trailed by 13+ points in a game. He's now 1-23.

Only the Cardinals!

To me the key there was time. We were just over 4 minutes on the clock and it's first and goal from the 10. You obviously want the TD but you have to play the clock there too run the ball and if they stop you they have to decide do they call a timeout or not. The pass not only cost us the penalty, 15 yards and the down, it only took like 5 seconds off the clock. If you run there unless they call a timeout the next snap is going to happen 35 seconds later than it did.

as soon as we lined up empty I was furious

There was one play where we blitzed and I think got a sack where DR was right there so if the guy who got the sack didn't, he might have
