The NFL really sucks until that guy is out of the league because it is not fair. Having three back up quarterbacks against him today to beat him was our outlook after the miracle last weekend . The only hope was the jags could pull it off. Then the next best bet was Vikings getting home-field advantage.
Well now the Vikings look like the team that they should have looked all year - average with a career backup qb that can’t win on the road. Pats are going to smoke them and I’ll do my best avoid watching

I know what was an no brainer. Take the FG instead of going on 4th down and 5 with a shaky offense that had finally earned a second scoring opportunity. Probably wouldnt have mattered but when Thielen couldn't squeeze it Id have went out and mowed the lawn if it was growing.
Kase played bad but his turnovers were directly forced by the excellent defense with strip sacks and hitting him on the release for the pick 6. The line was awful and the run couldn't really get going.
His offensive teammates did an F- job on the post int tackling drill as well.
The biggest story is the resurgence of Foles. Im sure its likely Foles Gold as soon as Matt Patricia gets his mitts on the film but honestly Foles made some amazing throws under pressure. The Vikes D wasn't getting beat by anything but Foles arm for the early part of the game. later they just quit. A beautifully called and executed game plan. There are some up and coming coaches in this league, no more so than 2017.
Does Foles get another chance now? A lot depends on the next 2 weeks.
