I got roped into a fantasy league this year with some cousins, and that totally warps how one follows the action. I still root for the Vikings, but I should probably keep my nose outta here unless I watch the game.
November 21, 20223 yr If anything good came from this loss, it’s that I’m kind of glad that Cousins touchdown streak ended. Maybe now Paul Allen can relax. ? Anyway, on to the next.

Anyway, on to the next. The only good thing to come out of it is that I can now fully expect to be bounced right out of the playoffs. It makes taking the loss easier when you don’t have false hope.

If I don’t see it posted elsewhere, i am planning to look up the worst regular season losses by teams that eventually went to the Super Bowl. I’m betting that no team has ever lost a game by this many points and then went to the Super Bowl that season. A team completely dressed down like this just isn’t good enough. Like you said, expectations should be somewhat checked now. The #2 two seed not getting a bye is going to hurt, too. Unless the 49ers make a charge, the Vikings are still the inside track for that.

The 1976 Raiders, 1994 San Francisco 49ers and 2020 Tampa Bucs all lost a game by 30+ points and went on to win the super bowl. There’s no sugar coating what happened yesterday. It was an embarrassing game. Frankly, it was the perfect storm for an embarrassing performance: - Darrisaw and Cleveland getting knocked out of the game exposing what we all knew - OL depth is non existent. - Coming off the most emotionally draining game of the year. - Tomlinson still out at DT, and Dantzler/Evans out at CB. We weren’t going to finish the season 16-1. More losses will happen before the end of the season. Doesn’t change the fact that the Vikes have the division locked up and the NFC is wide open for the taking.

I always felt like the 1994 49ers were legit one of the best teams in history, and they lost a game 40-8 that year. That actually does give me some consolation about the game yesterday.

Unfortunately no one is going to confuse our cornerbacks with Deion sanders

November 22, 20223 yr I was going to watch the game as I happy when Minnesota beats Dallas but now I am glad I could not. Write up on the game all, that I read, that the one point wins made the 8-1 record very, very suspect and this game showed why. Que sera, sera.

This will be the coaching staff's biggest test; can they game-plan around the weakness that doomed them last week. Going against the greatest game-planner in league history, it seems doubtful.
November 23, 20223 yr Author No Andrew Booth Jr or Akayleb Evans at CB tomorrow. Darrisaw obviously out on the OL. Tomlinson is questionable for the DL.
November 25, 20223 yr Scripted offense goes right down the field and scores. Then the defense picks up right where it left off last week. Porous
November 25, 20223 yr Just now, Mike Sixel said: Most predictable three and out ever Lucky it wasn’t a pick 6 too.
November 25, 20223 yr We just get worked up front both sides of the ball. Can’t even run the ball consistently because we’re weak up front
November 25, 20223 yr This is going to be a rough night for the offense, which is tough because our defense is so terrible
November 25, 20223 yr Now terrible special teams followed by bad defense. Last drive needed to be a TD. We ain’t stopping ?
November 25, 20223 yr Extra point, missed. And he’s not even kicking it in to the end zone anymore. Time for a new kicker
