1. Nobody minds being beat last possession in a coin toss game but this was embarrassing, defense fair play they did their best, offense was a mess, I do blame KOC for this honestly, there was zero imagination in the red zone – misdirection, overloading, nothing

2. The way Judd bashes Sam Darnold is uncalled for! "MENTALLY VACANT" go have another one their Judsee.

3. Don't think it's KOC or Darnold or culture it's an potential albtrose Please let's all be optimistic hopefully just one hiccup. Actually more disappointed in this game than the first time thought they played better first time

5. The one thing that makes you weak in the legs?! Tell William to lay off the nookie

7. No answer against Detroit blitzing.

8. Acting like this was a close game is laughable. In terms of the NFL, this was as lopsided as they came almost. Quit trying to justify only being down 4 at half or “still being in it in the 4th”

9. Gotta tell you guys: I’m fed up with this fanbase. I was poking around the MN subreddit at various points last night. Just an absolute house of hot s*** talking about fire KOC, Darnold needs to be let go by halftime and start Mullens, etc.

   Trash takes by trash fans.

   You don’t need to be rah-rah for the team no matter what. It’s important to be critical. But the second something goes wrong, these people are jumping overboard. Settle down ya Neanderthals.

10. Just like the Vikings were 5-0 they lost the next two games to Detroit and the Rams this is a repeat right now they will lose to the Rams next week on Monday night it is not a successful season being 14 and 4 one and done in the playoffs just like 2 years ago 13 and 4 and lost to the sorry Giants

11. mackey, you think we beat the rams?????? lolololol

12. Trey very fickle

13. 21:03 judd said it perfect

14. Maybe someday the Vikings front office will learn that you need big nasty offensive lineman to dominate in the NFL. Hopefully they can address the week interior line next off season. That said, fun year. Can't wait to see what JJ McCarthy does with this roster.

15. The hard truth of the matter is the NFC side is incredibly lacking in quality teams. The Vikings beat what 2 TEAMS with a winning record all year. Yeah, 15 wins against mostly dog crap teams. The NFL is not what it use to be. The parity, which is really just crap teams is clearly evident now.

16. KOC just lost coach of the year with this primetime performance. I think Dan just locked it in.

17. All the good will built up and positive vibes just went "poof" last night. 😂

18. A lot of un-called PIs

19. Sam darnold doing sam darnold things. Go lions!

20. Huge stat here that’s being overlooked: this year Goff has been sacked 29 times. Darnold has been sacked 46. However, Goff has been knocked down 53 times vs Darnold’s 44. With us knowing this, I saw a huge lack of play design to get the ball out quick, KOC likes to have long developing routes. We have to run more slants, picks, screens when we get in this situations. That being said, Darnold was awful.

21. IF DARNOLD COULD HIT THE BROAD SIDE OF A BARN……

22. Can anyone tell me why we are running deep routes against 6 and 7 man blitzes? Lol where are the quick slants and cross routes like idk maybe DETROIT WAS RUNNING ON US!!!

23. Hell if we start JJ you'll be calling for his head after his first big loss

24. Dan Campbell knows the refs made a HUGE difference in this game.

25. This is exactly why the Vikings get no recognition. After watching this team for nearly 40 years, every time they have the opportunity to win a big game, they fall flat on their face, and hurt the hearts and minds of all fans. Now, they will be playing against the only other team that they loss to all season so, after that game, arexwe one and done in playoffs once again? We saw the undoing of Swinging Sammy, and why he is not worthy of a big time contract. Go away Sam!!!

26. Koc in playoffs will be 0-2

27. You could feel this coming from a mile, something is missing from this offense. To me it's a combo of QB, o-line and scheme. They depend way too much on making big plays but really struggle to pick up short yardage situations. I've never seen a team loaded with more offensive talent struggle to get 1-2 yards when they need to have it. Idk, too many excuses. The lions are just better than us and are now 5-1 against KOC. Also, I'm at the point where I think we need to move on from Aaron Jones, he's still a good player and I like him but we are seeing why the packers moved on from him. He's at that age where running backs start to regress and he's constantly hurt. It was a good move for this season but I think they need to get younger and better at RB. If we do retain Jones it better be for the right price and I think we need to add a better guy to go with him.

28. Why was Brandel standing up and looking back at Sam on almost every play? Could he not hear the play or what? He’s dog shit btw!

29. 1:24:55 "if you had a real option behind him, you would have made a switch". You do have another option who has actually won a playoff game but we won't even activate the guy. If Darnold is this bad next week in the first half, we should go to Daniel Jones.

30. I know the writing on the wall for Sammy D in Minnesota seems clear, but we'll be singing a different tune if he lights up the Rams. Then we'll see the Lions again (if the first round goes as expected with higher seeds winning). I'm not saying the Vikes SHOULD sign or tag him, but the conversation could flip one week from today.

31. I laughed when they said they locked up JJettas… what… he would've had 2 tuddies if Sam wasn't sailing the rock… the corner back only stuck to him one play… by then Jefferson was frustrated with Sam's off throws

32. I love this woulda coulda shoulda theater. Suck it up buttercup. Take the L. Lions are superior by miles. And Dan Campbell would destroy KOC in an Oklahoma drill.
