I know there is plenty of blame to go around, but I don't know of any defense that could have made up for that level of QB play. You just can't, and shouldn't, win with those kinds of mistakes.

If JJ is healthy, the Vikings need to start him to let him play. I guess we need to be patient as he develops. My concern is the two injuries. He is far from being bulletproof.

Not sure what the worst part of that game was, but the decision to not run the ball a single time from 2nd and 1 is a top contender.

Carson played like a backup QB, nothing wrong with that, but …. Won’t win you games on his back though. Let’s roll with JJM, be patient and let him develop.

Forget Indiana Jones for a moment--it's jarring, but telling, that the Colts lead the NFL in yards per play, expected points, and actual points scored. . .after deciding to let Kelly and Fries walk, and replacing them with 2024 3rd and 4th round picks.

Greenard, Turner, Hargrave and Allen have *combined* for 5 sacks in 6 games. More is certainly required, and frankly it's difficult to fathom how less could be possible.

Feels like a 2018-2029-2021 Zimmer year all over again.
