Wow. Horrendous clock management but we’ll take the win. Holy smokes Fat Man.

May be an image of football and text that says 'Vikings kickers every time they line up for game-winning kicks 02 3183 83'

How did our back ups do?

Being at the game they only announced plays made by the Chargers.

So I have no idea how most of our players did other than Ceedee, Dak, and Zeke. With no announcers you never really got the call on anything unless it was a positive play by the Chargers.

And by the time they queued up the replay on the big board the next play would already be starting. So I wasn’t really watching any replays unless it was a TD.

First of all, losing two guys off the DL actually improved it. Imagine that. The rookie LB #11 played DT and was energetic and actually recorded a sack. He was outweighed quite a bit by the blockers but managed to be effective. Plus his pursuit was outstanding.

We provided resistance, which is more than can be said for any game last year.

I’m going to have to go back and watch the game that I recorded.

With all of the video footage that was played on the big board being solely focused on the Chargers I really missed a lot of what our guys did in the game.

Bring binoculars next time, they're invaluable for watching what really goes on. When I attended the Dallas/Green Bay game in 1991 at Milwaukee County Stadium I was happy to have them.

I had a monocular with me but I didn’t like watching the play on the field with it. The magnification was too much. It would only show part of the play even on the lowest magnification.

And I didn’t want to bring my good Binos that I use for work because they are way too heavy and I wouldn’t want to worry about them all day long.

I see Amari Cooper has kept his away game no show streak from last year alive with only 3 catches for 2r yards today

What are you going on about Scot? He had 13 catches for 139 yards and 2 TDs on the road just last week.

Besides, of his 3 catches against the Chargers, one was a key 3rd down coversion that set up Pollard's TD. And another was a key reception on the game-winning drive.

4 QB hits for Parsons too. Herbert holds on to the ball longer than Brady, so that helps. But he certainly appears to have more bend and quickness than D-Law and Gregory. Hopefully they continue to rush him from the edge on obvious passing downs even when those two are back.
