Good stuff, we likely aren’t a SB contender - hopes got up admittedly. Regardless of preseason expectations, they’re different now and a first round playoff loss is a failed season in my opinion. 1 road win is a good foundation builder - gotta have it.

Really?! You trash Vikings fans who have had the rug pulled out from underneath them year in and year out? Can we be anything other than jaded dude? Calling them thumb suckers is an asinine thing to say, don’t be a dick about how people react, 4 Super Bowls, none since 1977! 1998, 2009, 2018! We’re not paid to write about them, we pay to root for them!!!

Brett, appreciate you engaging. I don't sense a lot of joy in being a Vikings fan among those I know, including close friends and relatives. Is it all or nothing? Has this season been fulfilling, or was that ruined Sunday night?

I’ve enjoyed this season quite a bit, but it will be marred if they put up another stinker Monday night. Biggest Vikings game, including a lot of playoff games, in a long time, and they looked rattled from the jump. Wasn’t 41-0, but still devastating. I’ll be over it by tomorrow and cautiously optimistic by Monday night. If it happens again, though, I think I’ve overestimated KOC.

When his teammates lifted Sam on their shoulders and celebrated him, I got a sinking feeling that it was going to mess with his head.

If Goff could rebound from a 5 interception game, Sam can rebound from this. Hopefully some of his teammates and coaches can as well.

Hopefully next year we have a line that can both pass block and run block.
