This is the NFL, Cousins doesn't have to wait for Thielen to turn around, he should know what the route is, AND should be throwing it before Thielen turns around. The only thing Cousins needs to do is read the defense and it's clear from Cousins POV that there were going to be no defenders in that area before Theilen turns around. The ball should be right there just as he turns around. But hey, maybe this is the problem with our offense, or Cousins, maybe he is in fact waiting for receivers to finish their routes before he throws it. It would explain why he's throwing a lot of checkdowns because ain't nobody going to be open downfield if you're waiting for them to finish routes and come to a complete stop.

The other thing is, if Rudy stays over there to block the LB, Murray can release into the flat and THEN Cousins can hit him for a nice little gain because there are no defenders over there either. Or maybe Rudolph is a better blocker than Murray (doubtful) and can buy Cousins the time he needs to hit Thielen.

If I’m not mistaken, wasn’t this a 3rd and 1. If so, I counted 9 Vikes behind the line of scrimmage, only Diggs and Thielen were running routes and Thielen was 15 to 20 yards out. Seems all they needed was a short dump off to tight end or somebody to move the chains. Instead, they kept both tight ends in and the halfback for maximum protection which ended up being blown up by the Seahawks. It just seems like a bad play call and no execution. So here, I blame Flip and the players but maybe Flip has got so many plays in the book that the players don’t have a chance to master a few.

It was second and 14.

Today NFL V.P. of Officiating Al Riveron admitted that there should have been a penalty. In his weekly video, Riveron showed the play and said that Wagner should have been flagged.

“In this case, this is a foul,” Riveron said. “He’s gonna put both hands on a teammate and he’s going to use his teammates to leverage himself to get to the other side. If you use your teammates and/or an opponent to help you to get to the other side to help you block a kick, that is a foul.”

Riveron did not explain why the officials ended up not enforcing a penalty, but the umpire who threw the flag reportedly flagged Wagner for a different but related penalty, against jumping over the line from depth. Another official overruled the umpire, saying Wagner was on the line of scrimmage when he jumped, making it legal in that respect, and none of the officials noticed that Wagner put his hands on teammates to leverage himself.

If the penalty had been called, the Vikings would have had first-and-10 at the Seahawks’ 14-yard line, where they very well might have scored a touchdown and taken a 7-6 lead with just a few minutes remaining in the game. It was a costly no-call for Minnesota, and a fortunate bad call for Seattle.

It'll just be Lockett blowing us up for 180 and 2 TDs haha

I won't get to see this game tonight because I'm ghetto and have no cable or anything fun.

Hope we don't suck.

In honor of the SUCK that was MNF, and my buddy Oracle Bone Diviner and his issues with cable/internet, I need to edit this.
