Wasn’t a vast majority of that gained on the long Akers run when he bounced to the outside? We just stink near the goal line with Brandel Bradbury and Risner 

No disagreement on the second point.  But most teams that are good at running do it in 2-3 yard chunks and then rip off big chunks so I wouldn't hold that against them.

In fairness, you can't run every play. And when he tried that other kind of play  the Benny Hill music came on and our QB looked like he had just arrived on the planet and didn't know how to use his arm or brain.  Then...snowball.

Right, but 22 rushes for the entire game is not many

That'll happen when it's 24-3 in the second quarter.

I don't want to necessarily be that guy....but the Vikings averaged nearly 5 yards a carry against the Rams from their RBs.

 

Yes, they were very good at running in situations where the other team doesn't know if it's a run or a pass.

When it's a short yardage situation, they absolutely cannot run the ball.

It was 10-3 with 4 minutes left until Samuel coughed up the ball on a pass attempt

Barkley HR run

Now it’s snowing pretty good. 

[Mike Sixel]

Snow!

Yeah antagonizing the eagles crowd is always a good idea

Did ya see that Eagles fan from the Packer game who got fired from his corporate consultant job for calling a female Pack fan an ugly c---.

[Aggies7]

Could be worse snow wise!

Yeah. Wearing another team’s jersey there is just asking for it. I went with my family in 2001 to the vet and we just wore plain clothes 😂

Yup, hence my Cam Skattebo love.  I want the Vikes to add some grit/nasty.

Becton would look pretty good in Purple next season. Mountain of a human being 

[Aggies7]

Rams just porous on D

Verse is insane

Another tick in the cons column for Kwesi. 

[Aggies7]

What a play call, wow. Almost disaster too

Kwesi needs to be gone.

I never really liked the excuses fans gave to Turner this year. Saying Greenard and Van Ginkel were so good we just couldn’t find snaps for Turner…. If Verse was on our team I guarantee we would have found plenty of snaps for him to play. 

[Aggies7]

This is a wild game lol

I'm not worried about Turner per se.  I think the problem is that clearly you could've had Verse in the role Patrick Jones occupied, but Turner isn't big enough for that.  It's a huge short term (and very possibly long term) miss, but I can see the bend/freaky nature of Turner that had their attention.

Which year? Because both those guys will be back... They used multiple potential starters to draft him. He has to be great or it was a bad pick

[Aggies7]

Saquon is something
