Cardinals at Vikes - Solo GDT

[60WinTim]

I am probably solo today...

Good stop. Great return and a nice score. Everything seems good.

Then the past 4 weeks creep in. Cardinals score. We go 3 and out. Barf.

Tim, are you noticing a trend the past couple week? I am, the Wolves and Wild lose disappointing Saturday games and the Vikings keep the trend alive by losing on Sunday. Sucks being a Minnesota sports fan, which is the opposite of what I said just over a month ago.

We knew the Vikings offense was going to struggle as they lost one or two linemen per week, but the fact that the defense sucks now too is shocking.

How about 2 challenges for TDs though...never seen that before. And both were so obvious even to the naked eye.

And they miss the extra point...

Bring back Walsh, bring back Walsh...

I've been trying to be a little productive during the game so just checking in now. Mostly been a good game hopefully the D can get some stops.

Heck of a sack there by Robison beating a double team rushing from inside. There was likely good coverage too. It would be nice to see the offense get another score at least a FG.

Alright they got a FG yay Forbath!

What did you guys think of those personal fouls?

Ok so Bradford is just a QB but how many times does a WR get payed out just standing behind the line of scrimmage?

I thought the hit on Diggs the defender hit Diggs in the head so I don't think it was a terrible call. I think both calls were breaks for the Vikings but I don't see them as terrible calls and earlier there was a couple calls as thought went against the Cardinals so i am not just being a homer.

I don't think I've ever been more wrong about a player in any sport than I have about Patterson. He's a player who looked completely disinterested his first few years and I believed he'd never contribute consistently to any offense. Wrong. The guy isn't a superstar by any means, but he has had a positive impact on this crappy offense since they gave him a chance.

I really think it's a combination of him putting in the work and them making more of an effort to do some stuff for him and the new offensive coaches may have had something to do with that. To me though he clearly looks more like a legit receiver this year than I have ever seen. I've always thought he still had a shot at being a legit WR because he was still so young (still 25) and he did come into the league as a fairly raw young player.

The pass rush seems to be back.

One thing I like about Wayne's is he seems to be a pretty good tackler in run support.
