    we got off to a bad start and it just snowballed. obviously a poor performance as a whole, but i think the offensive line was the main issue. riley reiff really struggled today--cousins was under duress. and it didn't help that we got down early--so we had to pass pass pass.

    sucks, but it happens. this will be a good test to see how the vikings can re-group with a couple of tough opponents coming up on the road

    Can’t run the ball, QB can’t efficiently pass the ball, defense played well at first but two blown coverages gave up 14 points. Looking exactly how we did week 1... *sigh*

    Are y'all missing Jason Witten that bad on offense?

    No. We can’t run the ball & that’s really the big issue. Our offense is being entirely reliant on Dak & he can’t carry the offense. He’s not good enough. That’s not even necessarily a knock on Dak either. We’re a running team, we should be able to run the ball at will. Travis Fredrick being out is hurting our running game a lot.

    I have no idea what this team is going to do. We can’t efficiently run the ball even though we’ve invested EVERYTHING into being able to run the ball. Our QB isnt good enough to carry the offense & score consistently. Defense is the only glimmer of hope but even they have lapses & cant do everything. The coaching & game planning has just been atrocious this season. If we can’t get the running game going which I fear won’t happen unless Fredrick comes back this season, this season is toast.

    Pats D sucking early. Awesome.

    Malcolm Brown is playing f---ing awful. He's getting pushed at least 2 yards off the line of scrimmage every play and by one blocker lol

    He had 2 big runs that inflate that stat line. Not to mention, a lot of his yards came in the 4th quarter when Seattle was playing back & was just trying to prevent the deep pass. They didn’t care if we got 5-10 yard runs, they were running out the clock. If you watched the first half, we couldn’t run the ball. Just like we struggled to run against NYG & Carolina.

    Eagles won, but definitely didn’t look great doing it. I’m just glad to have Wentz back right now.

    The Rams are looking really, really good.

    Rams vs Chiefs will be the Super Bowl.

    Pats are not a good team. So many issues. I was wrong after week 1. I don't even care if they come back and win this.

    Everyone on defense got worse... From Malcolm Brown to Hightower to the McCourtey twins, etc.

    Gillmore and Bentley are the only highlights.

    Sony Michel runs like f---ing Maroney.

    Not good.

    Your defense is talented.. Ours isn't. Most of our key players regressed a ton.

    Hightower and Brown are getting destroyed off the line of scrimmage every run. You can't have that happen to your defensive tackle (who should be occupying two blockers to free up your linebackers) and your middle linebacker

    Ugh... So frustrating to watch. They might have to give Bentley the starting MLB role over Hightower.

    this week was a great reminder that football is unpredictable

    its too early into the season to know anything about who's for real and who's a pretender. everything becomes clear once you reach week 5 or 6
