Kevin O’Connell on Vikings Loss to Cowboys: “A Huge Opportunity for Our Team to Look Inward”

Zimmers first year he was 7 wins and 9 losses in 2014 you would rather have that than 8-2 record and one blowout? I think this coach will advance this team far given more time.

@Chess Master111 that’s the problem with Adam thielen and Harrison Smith and other players already towards the end of their career and Patrick Peterson only having about a season or to left we don’t have this time that you speak of I think we got lucky against some mediocre teams and had a few bounces go our way and I think this Dallas game exposed to we truly are and that we are a team that should have got rid of cousins and went into rebuilding mode instead of putting pieces together that give the delusion that we’re a super bowl team when we are clearly not

@Chris Got Games Free agency may add somethings to our roster that we dont expect and the draft will add some things also and trade options may be on table to improve the team. For example i think there will be a cap casualty assessed to help us beef up the line next year. Too early to say because we dont know free agency and draft yet.

@Chess Master111 we don’t have time to think about next year

NE might be able to win on Thuraday

None

It may have just been that Dallas’ defensive line really stepped up today, but our offensive line looked non-existent. They gave Kirk no time to look for the options and throw the ball. It’s very telling with how many sacks they managed to get today. The d-line just blew right through every time pretty much in no time. I think there really should be some work done with the o-line. No matter how that gets done, just get it done. No team has anything perfect, and there are many things we could work on definitely. But, I’m really happy with what I’m seeing from the Vikings this season. Never been happier to be a Vikings fan! SKOL

It’s too much to fix this season and Christian Darisaw Isn’t that great like everyone making him out to be. Against elite quick and strong bullish defensive linemen he loses the battle.

As I have said all year including during the wins, The offensive Line is offensive! Why anyone was hyping this group up is beyond me. Cousins is Cousins as he is an above average QB not great but fails when pressure is applied. Good Luck the rest of the way. That game was horrible.

@Sara Johnson Trollette 😂😂😂 Your puerile attempt to bait people into arguments is painfully obvious and truly laughable 😂😂😂

@Unsettled Mind 💩🤣💩🤣💩🤣💩🤣💩🤣💩🤣💩

Worst in the NFL in the red zone gets you one play off game in which you lose

You guys trash

@Tt55 K STILL in 1st place in their division… 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣… Sissy white boy

@LIMONE 24 we will rebounce back on thanksgiving we will beat the patriots

@Leonard Shevlin Stop throwing to Hockenson

I dont understand why he wasn’t pulled earlier. Our O’line was going to get him killed! One of the worst O’line performances that I’ve ever seen

@jeff whitney Coach O’Connell left the starters in longer than necessary, especially considering how short the recovery time is for the next game.

@Sam Iam in what direction? LMAO

@Leonard Shevlin KOC doesn’t care. If he gets fired he can just move on to a big market team

It’s not the fact that it’s our second loss it’s the fact of who those losses came against and I don’t see anything telling me that we can beat either of those teams if we play them a second time which will most likely happen with one of them in the playoffs

@Chris Got Games Lucky for you, winning isnt based on what we “see” from previous matchups. Every game is it’s own new entity with potential to be something different.

@shannon azure Was that supposed to mean something

@Sara Johnson your comment is ignorant, hers is insightful.

@The Pen is Mightier Hers wasn’t even in proper English. Look it was a good season, but we aren’t going anywhere and KOC keeps saying the same damn thing every week and doesn’t fix anything

@Sara Johnson Run along, lil kid, you’ve gotten your attention.

Yea I hear you but we usually get blown out like this in the playoffs too. I was nervous right at the start of the game and it went really bad. I have been saying it all year, the defense isnt very good. We give up a ton of yards every game and then get takeaways at the end to save the day. It finally caught up with us.

Oh don’t worry, we will have a loss like this in the playoffs too. Probably in the first round.

@Nomad lmao. I am a long time Vikings fan but you are probably right. I predict Greg the leg misses a 20 yard FG in the playoffs and we lose the game. Atleast Greg the leg didnt miss an extra point today!! Then again he never got that chance. Lol

Playoffs? At this point we need to tank to let GB or the Lions take the North

@Sara Johnson overreaction lmao

He is good. Either the hard way or an easier; probably a very hard way, I think Vikings will be in the Superbowl. Skål !!

Fukk Thursday…. Minnesota would have been the talk of the league if the Vikings would have won…

@Tommy Seay fan SINCE 1972.Need MOBILE QUARTERBACK or we are dead AGAIN

😂😂😂😂😂😂 yall grinding for that 5th SB L, huh?

@Rex Rogers 3 points SKOL!!

@LIMONE 24 your Packers are what & what again?

We ain’t nothing but a bunch of suckers rooting for these dumpsterbabies….

@Rob welcome to loyalty. The boys have openings if you like them better

@TX 19 First game in a while that the run support safeties play at the same time allowing the DL to play the gaps. Still a lot of football to be play. Found the game to be very positive from using Pollard on the wheel routes isolating the LBs in coverage. Maybe relax and enjoy the fact that this was the largest point spread the Boys has won by in their history on the road.

@JR Star for sure bro , I’m just saying of you look at the tape still had a good game considering the touches he had, probably left over feelings from last weeks debacle 🤣🤣 but yeah onto our actual rivals on Thanksgiving

You have a lot of class, nice to see, it was a big let down but there’s still games to play.

Class. At least one thing we have in common is that we both hate the Eagles. Cowboys showed up and the Vikings didn’t.

@Deez Pleez Fact, can’t stand the dirty birds.
