You’d expect that score on a soggy and torn up grass field while rain and snow are falling. Not a covered field in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Truth. 
Thank God the Bills/Chiefs game was on another channel. I'd rather have a heart attack than be bored to death. 😉

I was and am still in the camp after Kirk got injured, that I would not mind that they would lose a few games to get a better pick. Especially now if JJ is injured again. Worst thing that can happen is make the playoffs and then lose right away. This team is not a Super Bowl caliber team. It is a shame because the defense is pretty stout this year.

I'm 50% factual and 50% sarcastic. When you get to know me, you will know which is which.

So any update regarding Jefferson’s newest injury I know they sent him to the hospital in Vegas and he made the flight back to Minnesota 

Aloha!

I have never been so happy to be out-of-market on vacation and could not watch this horrific game. I am almost certain that even with a field goal win, I‘ll come back to my half mast flying Vikings flag neighbor flyng one of those half baked new MN flag.  If you want to support horrible, go all out.  

I thought my eyes were deceiving me with so many punts with less than 10 yards by both teams. Think of all those Vikings fans thinking what a great trip they were going on? For the love all, please let how you played in Vegas stay in Vegas!

I was at our church children's Christmas program dress rehearsal (3:30-7:30) gearing up for the program tonight. So I missed out as well... lol!!!

Vikings and Wild both win 3-0.  This is the second time that has occurred in pro sports on the same day.  Second time was a year or two ago with the Stars/Cowboys 6-0.

I remember the Rashad catch clearly, but I had totally forgotten the lateral play.

Not sure what Mullens thought he saw there but it was not a good decision and then a worse throw. Took a chance for points away.

Vikings lead 7-3 at half. Should be at worst 10-3.

Mullens is awful

But he’s also looked good for stretches. Can we get a QB that’s not a turnover machine? He has 2 INTs and CIN dropped a couple other chances. These guys make it look really difficult to be smart with the ball. Refs have also blown a couple calls, they missed an obvious intentional grounding call on Browning early and also kept the clock running when JJ easily got OOB with about 40 seconds left in the half. 

Mullens is obviously just a solid backup if he can be smarter with the ball. I’d like to see what Hall can do.

If that pass is intercepted people are saying "Why do you make that thrown while getting pulled to the ground (haven't you learned anything from the last interception)?. When it ends up being a TD it's "Never mind". ? 

Back up/journey man QBs make some good throws but make more bad decisions/plays it comes with the territory and is one of the reasons why the Vikings need to resign Cousins.

You can still draft a QB in the first 3 rounds in one of the next two drafts if a QB you want falls to you but you don't have to rush it and make a forced decision like drafting Ponder with the 12th overall pick.

This is feeling like Dobbs 2.0.  Mullens has zero zip on his throws, make's a lot of bad decisions and has he thrown to a secondary receiver yet? As I said with Dobbs once defenses have film it's going to be an issue.

I have a lot different feeling about this season with the way this defense has played the last month. If you have a shutdown defense you’ll be in every game. 

The time that JJ was out really shows what a difference maker he is. His combo of great hands and great route running is as impactful as any WR in the league.

The fact that Dobbs and Mullins have been playing over Hall should tell us something. They see him in practice. Hall is a 5th round rookie that they would rather not go with at this time. That is not to say down the road he can't be good but putting him in now is not the best for him/the team. 

He is the back up this game so it will be interesting if he stays as the back up for the games coming up. Obviously as the backup you are only one play away from being needed. 

Hall got the one start because at the time Mullins was hurt and Dobbs had only been on the team for 5 days.

Wouldn’t be a Vikings game without letting the opposition march down the field pretty easily at least once.

Mullens doesn't have Dobbs arm strength, to be sure, but he's making throws with anticipation which is something Dobbs never did.

I would say it’s most likely that with the time he’s been here they think Mullens has the best opportunity to run a functional offense and not turn the ball over. If he keeps giving it away that would not be the case.

The last floater into double-coverage was another bad decision.

Bengals carve up the Vikings defense on back to back drives, including a 3rd and 21 conversion, to tie it at 17.

When you can't step into throws this happens more. Find me a back up QB who doesn't make bad decisons/throws/plays. Yes Mullins and Dobbs make bad decisions/plays/throws.

The D-lineman being off sides helped caused Mullens to rush the throw. That was a sweet play by the LB but all for naught.

Mullens going full Brett Favre mood. 2 passing TDS and 2 INTs.

They both went to Southern Mississippi they must teach this type of play there. ?

Cincy has been jumping those bubble screen routes every time. It was only a matter of time before one got picked off. Fortunately Hendrickson was well offsides.

He's just so much better at making the first guy miss than Mattison. Mattison is a great change of pace guy but he should be seeing fewer touches than Chandler the rest of the year.

I agree. The offense has 401 yards, Mullins has thrown for 279 yards, has 23 first downs and 24 points.
