Darrisaw apparently hasn't cleared concussion protocol yet.

After suffering concussions in two consecutive weeks, I'm all for leaving him out until he is 110%.

I just keep thinking back to the ONE concussion (that we know about, anyway) that set Justin Morneau's career back and eventually cut it short.  He was out for a very long time and when he came back, he was never the same.

I can't imagine what it is like for football players who endure that contact weak after week, year after year.
I hear Yea SteveO... Next thing ya know they'll be just like boar!!😂 :confused: :rotflmao:

 :scratch: How do they let Darrisaw take part in even a limited practice on Wednesday if he hasn't passed the concussion protocals yet? That doesn't sound quite right to me. :huh: I'd think the League &/or the NFLPA would have problems with that. :confused:

It looks like they can take part in a light practice even if they haven't completely cleared all the concussion protocals. Here's a condensed version of the steps required to be able to play. https://static.www.nfl.com/image/upload/v1629471746/league/umfva5wnr32ozmukz5jd.pdf

 :happy1: That was changed some early this season, after the incident with Miami's QB. ESPN says #22 isn't expected to start now, but doesn't say he won't play. :scratch: Dantzler is listed as a starting CB though.

Not good but to rather listen to PA is a insult.  :pouty:

Vilma at least talks to his audience like they are over 12 years old.

We don't bother QBs too much.  That is a huge problem.

Not enough pressure on Goff.....no sacks. Most of the time no one close.

Cousins throws for  425 yds. Jefferson sets team record 223 yds. Should have won the game with that. Cook's fumble down inside the 5 basically cost them the game. No Smith at Safety really hurt......to many long plays for Detroit.

We're so predictable on first down,  run up the middle for 1 yard, every time until late in the game. I won't say how many times I screamed at our soft playing secondary today, or the game before,  the game before etc..

It started with them going for it on 4th down on the 1st possession on our own side of the field IMO. :sad: That made it too easy for them to score their 1st TD, it only took 2 plays & :51. The 2nd was even easier with a 35 yd punt return, 1 play & :08. :doah: Our Special Teams let them have the ball near mid-field 2 other times, another punt return & the fake punt, too.  :rolleyes:  :doah: Not to mention we had 2 TOs & they had 0. :pouty:

Yeah, a couple of good point in there.  No blitzes and the 3 defensive backs drafted last year (because they REALLY needed secondary help) are on the injured list.  One thing to say for Zim is, he knew how to dial up and disguise a blitz.

However, after 2 years running of Zim having the one of the worst defenses in the league, the Vikes still have one of the worst defenses in the league.  You can turn things around in one year in today's NFL, but it didn't look like that happened for the Vikes.

I hope they focus on getting the offensive line healthy - cause their only hope in the playoffs is to win games in shootout fashion.

I've never been a fan of the 3-4 defense. It only works if you can steadily apply pressure from the linebackers. Smith & Hunter both seem to be missing this year.

Oh well, to late to do anything about it now.

I can't argue with much of this https://www.si.com/nfl/vikings/news/kevin-oconnell-hints-potential-defensive-adjustments-after-vikings-loss-detroit  :scratch:

Good article and I am all for Mike Pettine calling all of the defensive plays from now on.  Sure can't hurt.
