TWO passes when you need 1.5 yards. Awful 

That's on KOC. He needs to get better at things like this

[Aggies7]

Wtf are we doing? Run out the bleeping clock!

[Aggies7]

KOC showed his youth over that final two minutes.

The bad play was third down. Too many times this year they throw deep on third and short. The fourth down was just a good defensive play.

Call me crazy, but I think it’s more important to see how close we are to the elite teams in the league like Buffalo than winning this game. I’m glad Josh Allen was able to play today so we see them at their very best. 

The Vikings are certainly in a tier below Buffalo, Kansas City, and Philadelphia.

Agreed.... But being the sixth or so best team isn't bad. It's just not good enough. Other than the trade down in the first round, it's hard to argue with the decisions of this front office so far.

Just another year of almost being good enough. 60+ years and going strong

[Aggies7]

It was funny seeing the commentary that our pass rush would make the bills regret starting Allen. Has he been touched in the pocket all day?

[Vanimal46]

Holy cow that was a bad INT from Kirk. 

[Aggies7]

Perfect pass by Kirk right to the defender. I really like some of the things he’s done but the guy just wilts against better teams, especially on the road, in big games. One big playoff win. That’s it.

It doesn't help they are always behind because of the defense..... But they aren't 7-1 without him this year. People really seem to forget how bad the defense was last year

They definitely are not 7-1 without him. I like him, he gets too much hate. But he doesn’t deliver against the better teams. The offensive line is also terrible which doesn’t help.

[Aggies7]

Losing 6 yards on a toss play because thielen just flat out didn’t block 

[Aggies7]

Good grief they’re just eating our lunch up front 

[Aggies7]

Why are the plays coming in so late?

[Aggies7]

Self inflicted errors all day

[Vanimal46]

Andrew Booth Jr. having his welcome to the NFL moment. He went from ST player to shadowing Stefon Diggs. Good luck. 

[Aggies7]

Outscored 27-3 since the opening drive touchdown kind of says it all

[Vanimal46]

Dalvin!! There we go!!

[Aggies7]

Seems like we’ve been waiting for that to happen all year 

[Aggies7]

The ol 12 yard cushion given to diggs 

[Aggies7]

Wow. What can you even do there 

[Vanimal46]

That catch by Diggs is unreal. Wow!

[Aggies7]

3rd and 15 and 3rd and 16 converted. Horrendous 

[Aggies7]

Defense can’t get off the field when it matters. 

[Vanimal46]

Booth Jr. is so overmatched trying to guard Diggs. It’s just painful to watch. 

[Aggies7]

Oh no.

[Vanimal46]

The tides may have turned… Pat Peterson gift INT and Josh Allen appears to be injured badly. 

[Aggies7]

Another timeout burned with slow play calling

[Vanimal46]

Oh god.
