    I’m avoiding any videos of it. It was bad enough in person, but most of us had no clue how bad it was until we checked our phones…  

    It was scary. Wasn't too violent, just a freak accident. Sad. 

    Glad they called the game. Most important is they let the players let go so they can support each other and Hamlin. 

    The game can be played later.

    Lol we ended every drive with a punt... Not a problem? 

     

    Matt Ryan is the MAIN issue. There are many. But he is the main offender. 

    Time of possession was pretty even. I listed the specifics in the post game thread. 

    I'd guess a 36 pt half (D allowed), is top 10 in the history of NFL.

    And doubt any of the games had similar ToP. I'd guess most, if not all, had lopsided ToP.

    Like I said... Ryan was not good. But a 36 point half is the most atrocious aspect of the loss. 

    If you have a different opinion, great.

    Yep, thanks for those stats- Vikings absolutely needed to score quick. The Colts needed to have drives longer than 3:29 in the second half even if they did not score and to maintain field position for the defense. Defenses do not respect Ryan’s ability to stretch the field and 3rd down intermediate coverages are so tight Ryan throws behind the sticks = another punt. Seems to be the recurring theme with this offense.

    MN is a quick strike team. So not shocked. 

    But our O went uber conservative. Mostly super short passes. When we threw intermediate and long, we did well. 

    I'm tired of our O scheme in general. Way too much short passing for years.

    Looking forward to a new playbook/scheme, and a new QB.

    It was atrocious, but Ryan,’s inability to manage the offense and sustain drives thus burning the clock had the defense on the field time and time again against a no huddle offense. 
    Everyone will point fingers at the defense, but the Colts scored 3 points in the second half, and handed the ball back to the Vikings Offense with little time off the clock on multiple drives.

     

    MN had one drive 3+ minutes (3:40). Indy had one  drive 3+ minuts (3:29). 

    Both teams had 3 drives between 2 and 3 minutes. 

    Both teams had 2 drives between 1 and 2 minutes. 

    Not counting the last series, both had 2 drives sub 1 minute. 

     

    Our O went super conservative. Their O was super aggressive.

    And still scored 5 TDs vs our prevent D.....

    when your offense keeps going 3 and out the whole second half that happens .  they both stunk today not having a real QB guts this team  .   i dont know how you can keep defending matt he is so  bad  .  his stats on the season are worse than curtis painter

    Not saying Matt is good. I'm saying he was not horrible today. He didn't cause turnovers. 

    Our 2nd half D was atrocious. Look at the MN series. Quick scores, after quick scores.

    under 200 yards passing under 60 percent completion percentage one touchdown one fumble that is average .  you cant win with this guy he is the definition of average

    Average is more than fine with a 33-0 lead...

    Ryan is absolutely to blame when you can't score. IDC what the stats say. 

    Our D gave up 36 in one half... not a problem? lol..
