It’s much easier for fans who don’t really understand the game to blame it on one guy or to make stupid statements like “ Shanahan has MLFs number”

The fact the matter is their defensive line was better than our offensive line. Their offensive line was better than our defensive line.

We had to help our tackles on most every play, as when we did not Love was running for his life, they did not.

We dropped two interceptions, they made two interceptions. We missed a lot more tackles than they did.

However, it’s much easier to blame it on the kicker, especially when you can’t make those qualitative judgments.

In the playoffs, Shanahan is 3-0 against LeFleur, and every one of them we outplayed them but somehow lost. Remember the blocked Punt a few years ago? It's just one of those things just like we have beaten the Bears a few times when we had no right to aka The NFC Championship Game in 2010.

Now you keep saying we had to help our tackles and I only saw the pressure ramp up when we had to put Yoshi in and we were putting pressure on Purdy all night. And you are right we dropped 2 ints and they caught theirs, we are a young team and it showed tonight. And I have been blaming the kicker all year if you look I even made posts about how he sucked in college and here I will help you:

2018 60%
2019 72%
2020 90%
2021 66%
2022 70%

as a pro
2023 81% and missed 5 extra points and has missed a kick in 5 of the last 6 games

But then again I have no clue about football, Just like Love showed his inexperience last night with his accuracy and decision-making.

And here's an idea bring in Tom Brady and have him teach Jordan Love how to run a QB sneak properly as I have never seen so many failed sneaks in my life.

The Vikings, who have never won a damn thing, made a loser move, by a loser organization.

There were plenty of mistakes by most of the rookies this year, but Gute stuck by them and his decision to go with them this year.

Lefleur was given the players to work with, he and his coaches were given the job to get them ready.

The results were better than most expected.

We all know how Gute Likes his draft picks. Pretty sure he will bring in some offseason competition for the kicking job, as well as LS and punter.

Carlson will get his chance to stay with the team.
