Vikings throw WR cross-field passes while we can't even execute a screen.

Defensive TDs are only way Colts can win and they're doing it.

End zone INT, missed FG, strip sack returned for TD….not good Vikings offense.

A coaching staff/team that is distracted and/or partially mentally checked out.

There's been hints all year, like the 4 ST penalties against SF last week, the 4th and 1 too many men on the field today, giving up a score on about 8 fucking drives in a row across two straight home games, so on and so forth.

It'd be difficult either way with all of the injuries on defense and the fact that we literally don't have a starting caliber RB, but it's obvious that the team itself is distracted, listless, unfocused, and all the things you'd expect with a lame duck HC coming off how last season ended.

But he got mad and threw the tablet down today.

Fire the entire staff outside of Al Harris. Make him the interim HC. Even though his group has been shitty, he’s been saddled with Zimmer’s scheme. They were all world compared to what we’ve seen since forever. Don’t lose him.

IR that shitty QB. Sit #60 because he doesn’t deserve to start. Release Zeke. And field trades for Parsons because he’s peaked and will only be less effective and beat up from here on out.

Draft a QB or two after Ashton Jeanty and look for help along the defensive line.

Someone drill holes in Jerry’s yacht before the entire family sets sail next time. Steal the life jackets and the dingy. Sabotage the radio.

We’ll be back to winning in 2 or 3 years with Elon Musk as the owner.

For those worried that Graham is another Mazi..



He didn't have a TFL or sack in the box score but from what I can tell that's about 2-3 QB hits, another pressure that looks like it led to a INT (or at least it should have), absorbing a few combos against Troy Fautanu in the run game, and one very interesting play where he lined up on the edge and actually showed enough burst to get Fautanu to open up his hips.

And that was against the Washington OL that won the Morris trophy, there's a reason he's a consensus top 10 prospect.

It's very obvious when watching other games how inconsistent the effort is from our defensive players. The aggression and sharpness of the angles just doesn't look the same when watching a defense like the Colts who are looking to knock heads and gang tackle downhill constantly.

You see the aggression here and there from our defense but as soon as things start going a bit sideways you can see them kind of getting back on their heels and loafing around.

Obviously there are personnel issues but it's pretty clear that the vibe/culture around the team is completely rotten, I guess you could say they haven't fully quit yet but that's most assuredly right around the corner.

Feh. This team isn’t worth nauseating you people over.
This season was clearly cooked after the Lions game, I don't get why anybody is fretting over anything.

Just laugh at the dysfunction and hypothesize on who the next HC will be if you want something to talk about.
