That’s seven losses by one score. The universe is balancing things out after last year's 11 wins by one score.

I have to ask…why the fk does Philly have something like a 98% success rate on down-and-1, and every single team in the league isn’t EXACTLY copying their formation at this point?? Because the snap,Tuck, push for ‘smart’ players have them hesitate for that split second…Kirk was awkward when they ran it because of that ‘thought’ between the steps and Mullens and others the same… why push with the smallest player is on KOC … have a backup lineman that can throw a player forward 5 yards would be my choice

Said many times prior… but only Minnesota would do a power push with the 5’5 180 player … KOC should be fired for this stupidity … and Minnesota nice media will not call him out .. being a die hard fan of this franchise is a penance for something one of ancestors must have done . no guts at all. Thats all that call was...shear fear of calling out anything else because now he cant be blamed as NORMALLY youd do that on 4th. But you probably wouldnt do it with the same undersized personnel that failed the prior play. Otherwise nearly any other call would be smarter. He now gets to blame the players for not executing instead of himself for failing to give them the best chance there. And that is ALWAYS his goal, call the play that avoids blame. Heck, look at the last drive in regulation. Your opponent is taking timeouts to preserve the clock because they know you will be conservative and fail to get the first and they want to win.. when it should be YOU taking time outs to preserve the clock understanding that you need time to move the ball into scoring position for the win. That was crazy how much he is about eating clock instead of winning games.

It wouldn't have mattered who we had pushing Mullens on the final play because it was blown up before he barely got the ball. Saw that coming from a mile away. Mullens nearly fumbled the ball. If he had received a strong push he would have left the ball behind.

Pulling defeat out of the jaws of victory like usual. 144 yards rushing and over 300 passing for Mullens. The defense only giving up 3 points through 3 quarters. But red zone turnovers and head scratching play calls cost us again. Rinse and repeat.

With the lack of an offensive line push on the fourth down play, it seems like even a handoff would have been stuffed in the backfield for a loss.

Did anyone else notice even Brian Flores pleading KOC to call a TO before his SECOND consecutive “dumbest play call in Vikings history”?
Every single human on the planet knew that was going to fail. Somehow the only person alive on this whole earth who felt good about it was exactly the only person calling the play.

#FireKOC trending on Twitter. Keep it going. Maybe Wilf can wake up from his afternoon billionaire’s nap and do something

I’m just gonna say it. O’Connell is not a good play caller. His play calling and design just doesn’t make any sense at times. Sometimes I wonder if his football IQ I really as high as ppl think or think it should be? Seems like a smart guy, well spoken seems to be a great guy but .
Not that it matters but my respect for him as a coach and a play caller is Almost gone and I think changes need to be made. It’s his timing, his play design and his decision making that just boggles my fu—-ng mind. I expect more from someone in his position.

Never have had a second favorite NFL team in my life but now that we are out of it, I may be rooting for Cincy the rest of the way. Browning is real deal and their coaching staff is way smarter than ours. Im sure we are going nowhere with our coaching staff, that is a certainty. Heck, it was our coaching staff that didnt recognize Browning to be the player he is after 3 years on our practice squad and literally cut him ... for KELLEN MOND!
