I thought our new Punter - who sucks Ass, by the way - was supposed to be the kick-off dude too? Folk is gonna **** up his stroke by continuing to do this other sh!t…

Kemp & his crew are over-officious jerks, one of the very worst in the league; and that was indeed a catch… just Not a TD.

Corky & his unqualified play-caller still soil themselves when it really counts.

The OL pass-blocked better than expected, but their run-blocking still ****ing Sucks.

Amazing what happens to our pass-rushing when facing a QB who actually has a clue… Can you say Overrated, kiddies? Sure ya can…

Did Corky really say that he doesn’t ever try to single-in on anybody? And if he did, did he say it with a straight face?

At least he put up a fight which we didn't see last year against a team later in the year. He gave a Aghlor a chance to make a play on the 2nd to last drive of the game with that bomb he threw at mid field.

From first glance, it looked like Judon and Wise got a lot of attention. Cousins also made quick decisions. It also helps when you have a WR that can beat any coverage.

Since his return, he's targeted Rham or Meyers the most. It's clear he doesn't have confidence there's a WR he can rely on to consistently get open so he just dumps it off.

Funny how Judon was being played the most snaps this season yet came away with Zero QB sacks… You would think one of these genius coaches would’ve put 2+2 together and given him a couple of early downs rest so he maybe might’ve had a little more juice for some more 3rd-down rushes, but what do we know? “Shut up and comply!”

Tough to substitute early because the Vikings were going no huddle. Tough to give him a blow later because the D was getting torched so they needed him in the game.

D was getting torched

Kirk Cousins would have had 35 yards passing in the 2nd half if Pierre Strong wasn't an idiot and Myles Bryant didn't slip
