Things we need before we even sniff a playoff win. 1. A kicker 2. Hunter to show up more. Smith cant do it all. 3. Ingram needs to get better. 4. Better WR play outside of JJ. Good playoff teams will just take JJ out and ai dont think an aging Thielen or Osborn will make any of them shake in their boots.
Somehow we keep escaping with 1 possession wins this year. But can it continue?

Typical vikings played just enough a-typical to win today. Nice job against a 3-4 team. We need to get *a lot* better before playoffs. 3-4 team that finally had all their players back and are now 3-5.

The play calling by KOC on the last two drives were a bit Zimmer-esque, playing not to lose. But, it worked out in the end.

But can it continue? 1. Jospeh there seem to be some holding issues. 2. Hunter had a great game not sure what game you were watching? He had a pass defense some tackles lost a sack on the mystery time out early in the game and caused the sack on final play of the game. He was the pressure on at least 1 of the INT's if not both and caused a number of incompletes with pressure. 3 Ingram does need to get better.

On first down everyone is expecting the run to get the clock moving, and this is where play-action could put the game away. You play to win the game! You play to win the game!

As far as kicking issues suspect Pinero might be looking for a job tomorrow.

As far as kicking issues suspect Pinero might be looking for a job tomorrow. Yep but in his defense, it was odd they ran the ball 3 times in a row so he could miss a field goal not long after his missed a game winning XP.

The defense has been playing better. The front end especially. That zone defense is still an issue, but those 2 INTS's saved our butts.

Dalvin Tomlinson said he doesn't believe the calf injury that knocked him out of today's game is a long-term issue; "I'm all right."

They just need to stop with the 50+ fgs for a bit. Far too many of Josephs attempts this year are at the long end of his range. Play field position a bit more and get him a few easier attempts. Heβll get it right. IMO heβs tweaked something in his mechanical/mental approach attempting all these long shots.

Five game winning streak won by an average of 6 points.
Last season weren't we losing games by that instead.
