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.

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

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

Looking back, 4th down from the 5 yard line with 4:30 to go.
A td wins the game. Play to win. We took the fg KNOWING a td would mean we lose the game.
Had we failed the Vikings would have had to drive at least 60 yards to TIE the game and 95 yards to score a td.

Bottom line, this staff chose to put it in the hands of the defense. It tells you what they think about this offense.

Kicking was the right call. If it’s on the 1-yard line with James Conner it’s a different story. The defense couldn’t deliver one last time.

FWIW I don't have a replay to dispute it but Vikings fans are insisting someone on the right side of our OL jumped on the play where they called it on Reiman so they are saying the call was correct, the refs just got the wrong guy,.

Again I have no replay to confirm that

The lack of interceptions from the defense continues to be a problem. Byron Murphy has 5 picks this season. All of our DBs combined have 3. None of our safeties have one yet, which seems almost impossible through 12 games.

The defense does produce some fumbles, but getting a pick or two here and there would be huge.
