5 wins in a row and 6 of 7 doesn't come easy in today's NFL. Dobbs looked real comfortable in the first half!

Dobbs will become predictable unfortunately and a defense will be able to adapt to this. Vikes achilles heel is we have no run game and without that a good defense will be able to shut down our passing lanes and Dobbs will make a mistake which could be costly. Eventually Jefferson will be back but unless Dobbs works on his timing with his receivers, he will become predictable.

Agree. Maybe the best thing that's happened is Ty Chandler getting some time. Not saying he's a super star but he's much more dynamic than "2 yards and a cloud of dust" Mattison.

Most of his big plays are coming off break downs and his scrambling ability. That's not sustainable for long term success but he's only been here for 2 weeks so time will tell. At least he doesn't just stand there and take a sack or take the fricking check downs constantly like Cousins.

For just taking just check downs it’s weird that cousins was second in passing yards and first in touch downs. Funny how perception and reality don’t match.

Cousins is an absolute check down charlie when it matters most, his fricking playoff record proves it. Puts up great stats but never wins the big games.

When has he had an oline that was even average. Last year the worst defense in the league. Niners game this year was very telling. It’s a team game a lot of people seem to forget that. I hope Dobbs makes it but the lucky busted plays will run out and his timing needs to get better. Hopefully that comes with time.

One thing I found interesting was Dobbs ability to execute an audible which I'm not sure that's what he was doing or he was pointing out o line blocking responsibilities. Whatever it was to me he has a seasoned qb mentality. I didn't care for the second half play calling and McConnell should have challenged the spot of the Dobbs attempt at reaching the sticks, I think it was a first down giving the vikes that needed momentum in the second half.

We need to improve on our 3 and outs the last few minutes of each game that we are ahead!!!!!!!!!! This problem has been an issue for a long while! Giving the other team the ball back after only like 1 minute has elapsed is crazy.

Kirk Cousins getting hurt gives the Vikings a chance. Time to start watching them again.

Being top 5 qb in the nfl this year wasn’t giving them a chance? In this 5 games they won have they turned the ball over? How has the defense ranked since the first 3 games? I don’t understand the hate. In the last 5 years it’s been mahomes, brady and Stafford to win the Super Bowl. Seems if you go by that metric there are alot of qbs not very good.

You hear the news that Aaron Rodgers wants to come back to work out mid December wtf that's insane for a torn achilles. Modern medicine is amazing

He's been saying that from almost day 1 of this injury. Did he have a full or a partial tear? Truth be told, I don't know which is easier to recover from and really don't want to find out by personal experience. Nonetheless, they were talking early on he was getting a surgery that was new and not yet common.

Note, I have been silently hoping he returns only to have to suffer some crushing defeat in the playoffs.

He lost his job in Washington to guys who are not in the league anymore. The Vikings played Washington, say 10 years ago. The D-line sacked Cousins and the camera zoomed in on his eyes. Total fear. We joked about it, then the damn Vikings signed him. Look at his record as a starter. 7-9, 9-7, 8-8, 7-9. So then your gonna say but last year he was 13-3. Sure, but so was Case Keenum and they let him go. He is NOT a winner for anybody, except fantasy football players.

Me thinks queens panicked with Bridgewater, he sucked,no long ball then he got hurt,queens gambled and jumped on kc in desperation, yawn.

So when they were looking for qb at that time who was a better option? Give Kirk the defense case had and they go to the sb that year. It’s always crickets when you ask who would have been a better option. So if we want to go back 10 years who were the sb winning qbs? Brady, manning, mahomes, then a couple other one and done.
