The biggest bummer is Sam putting together that last drive to tie the game is going to give Rhule the chance to blame the loss on execution again. "We were right in it and just couldn't execute at the end" incoming. 

He’s probably gonna say we weren’t tough enough…and he is right

I can't blame the defense. They've looked so bad late because they've been on the field all game long. I would like to know where the fug our pass rush has been though.

 

Sam Darnold was stellar on that last drive. He put the team on his back right there.

I’ll blame em…we were damn lucky not to lose in regulation 

then let the vikes drive right down the field and beat us

Just a lousy performance

So tired of these excuses. Either make a play or not. "elite" defense my fuggin ass

I get your point to an extent but have you ever even played football before? There is a reason why they only play one game a week and watch players snap counts. The defense was just out there way to long today, i was praying we won the the coin toss so we could receive the ball cuz i had a bad feeling about defense on another drive. These guys wear down over the course of game at a fast rate they dont gain more energy. It was just bad situation for our defense.

those days was not that great we get up big lead then let off and have to just prey we can hold on.

Like I said Rivera and friends. They had a lot to work with and still could make a great thing terrible at times. Nonetheless. those great times were some of the best this franchise has ever seen.

I don't know how you guys can call the defense horrible when they were on the field the WHOLE GAME.  Darnold had 99 yards passing until we scored a touchdown toward the end of the game. They were gassed;. 

Defense can't make plays consistently to get off the field. Coaching sucks. Darnold has no one to check down to. CMC, Dan Arnold, and Zylstra are all he had going into the season.

    • Sure want him to play if possible!!!!
    • Which would be 8-8-1. An improvement.
    • Not sure who you are talking to. Everybody maybe? Anyhow the family cat woke me up so….  Saturday, I will be in the playoff frame of mind for that game don’t worry about that. Will be living and dying on each play. Pretty sure everyone will be. That is still a few days away though.  Right now it is yes we made the playoffs. Backed into it with some convoluted 3 way tie breaking magic. It took a heroic finish - not by us, but by Atlanta. I don’t hardly know how to feel about it. I don’t feel like we won it. It is just sort of, well okay here we are, somehow. Our number came up. We were lucky. And that is what we were. Not good, lucky.  As far as here, this discussion, I think people rightly feel like, look at the offense. And it is kind of, what offense? They shut our run down and we become totally stagnant. Some people have faith that the QB can beat people with his arm but we aren’t doing it. We went into our bye off a big high. In or tied for, first place. We control our destiny. 4 games to do it. And we freaking finished 1-3. That control our destiny thing? We didn’t control poo when it comes down to it. Lost in the mix is basically a huge collapse. No one really called it out, it got lost in the excitement of the chase. But, 1-3 with the playoffs on the line - every week. Not inspiring. I mean, you don’t call that trending up, and if we hadn’t lucked into the tournament that would be our finish headed into the offseason. Not what you want. And if we don’t win Saturday? 1-4 to finish the year.  Limping out.  Okay that said I do hate going into playoffs on a winning streak because you are almost due to end the streak and that loss ends your season, so dropping One before the elimination games start is almost a comfort. But 1-3 with a 54 yard passing total in one of them? Followed by 14 points in a must win. Hmmm.   I am supposed to be optimistic? Sorry I don’t think I can be. I can hope, that’s different. It has just been a rough 8 years, and the excitement of having a winning record is in the rear view this week. About the only way we can have one is make the NFCCG I think.    Anyhow, on offense, where are the signs that we can beat people who stymie our run game? I suppose it could happen out of the blue but we haven’t really been able to pull that off.  Beating Tampa Bay was good. That was it though. Our other last little bit of glory is two plays on 4th down where they didn’t really pay attention in the back end, somehow, and we got two really nice results.  Not once, but twice back to back. Honestly it was so out of character it felt a little fluky.  And here we are, depending on that to happen Saturday. At least I guess is what we are hoping for. Good luck to us.
