[Gunner55]

  This? https://www.sportingnews.com/uk/nfl/news/paul-allen-vikings-radio-comeback-colts/kqifukkx3myuvun7bkr7n7nl    He won't watch it but maybe someone else will.

[dutchboy]

You are correct.    Last thing I need is Allens voice echoing through my head.   

[LPS]

Thanks I will watch it.  He is a great announcer for Vikes games. 

[mike89]

I missed the game.  Heard about it Saturday night and watched the highlights.

It was really fun reading this thread afterward - all those posts from guys before the half.     I would have been right there with you.   

Funny thing.  Two weeks ago I heard Paul Allen on the radio.  Ahead of the Lions loss, he had a "sneaky" prediction that K. J. Osborn was going to have a break-out game.  Paul's prediction turned out to be one week too soon, cause K.J. tore it up against the Colts in the second half.  My guess is that P.A. had some inside team info that told him they were working to make K.J. a bigger part of the offense.

Historic win.

We had a couple backups have good games for the D too. Both Asamoah who backs up Hicks at linebacker & Sulley who took Dantzler's spot had good games. Asamoah ended up 3rd on the team with 8 tackles to his credit & Sulley led the secondary with 2 pass breakups. I thought Dantzler was 'sposed to be available but he never seen the field.

I love Patrick Peterson...

He plays on one of the worst defenses in the league, and has the cahones to tell the offense at half time, "We're goona get some stops, you guys just need to score 5 touchdowns."  Stops?    33-0!  Really?  But Peterson's guys backed it up - in spades.

This team really does believe in each other - and that didn't happen with Zim.  When Zim's guys had the talent and the schemes they did pretty good.  But they never seemed to play with passion for each other.  They played to stay out of Zim's dog house.

[LPS]

I sure hope we can put the Giants away.  Would be a big win for me.  That would make my 12 wins I predicted and then I get the money.   

[LPS]

I wonder what they will talk about on KFAN this morning.       I will check in with them.

[Gunner55]

I was telling the TV that Donatell better have a blitz called on that 3rd & 9 with ~ 2 minutes of OT left. I think it was Hunter who was able to get in Ryan's face & make him hurry the throw.

[Steve-o]

I heard a post-game interview with KOC - don't know when he gave it.  He was asked what he said in the locker room and or if he had to abandon the game plan that wasn't working.

He basically said they were "so close" in the first half, but they just came up short on every opportunity. 

They must have made some adjustments that KOC didn't admit to, but for them to come roaring back, there must have been something correct in the game plan.

[Gunner55]

  Yeah, they had to at least tweak a few things on both sides of the ball to get that W.

[LPS]

I would think he said get in the QBs face and often.  Give the DBs a chance.

[Gunner55]

Best try to do something about this too or it won't matter what the D does.    https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35287159/vikings-weary-illegal-hits-aimed-wr-justin-jefferson

Vikings sign QB Josh Rosen to the practice squad

After the Minnesota Vikings had quarterback David Blough signed off of their practice squad, they had both a need at quarterback and had a spot open on their practice squad. They filled it on Tuesday by signing former first-round pick quarterback Josh Rosen to their practice squad.

The 10th overall pick in the 2018 draft, Rosen only played one season with the Arizona Cardinals, but he struggled enough for them to get the first overall pick and they chose to move on by drafting Kyler Murray.

He was traded to the Miami Dolphins for the 64th overall pick during the 2019 NFL draft and has since bounced around the league playing for a total of seven NFL franchises.

In his career, Rosen has played in 24 games. He has a 3-13 record as a starter with 2,864 yards passing, 12 touchdowns and 21 interceptions.

Will this make any kind of impact for the Vikings? I sincerely doubt it, but it’s good to have a backup with any sort of experience.

[Gunner55]

Yeah, Cousins has been sacked 11 times & hit another 20 times in the last 2 games alone.

[glenn57]

Yeah, the police were called for something, but months after the fact, everyone's story changes and the coppers were all wrong.
