and Hey everybody welcome inside the Minnesota Vikings press box a US Bank stadium for our first post-game show of the year and what a post game show it should be

Matthew collar with you along with Dane

Mizetani of the Pioneer Press and I want to know Dane where you'd like to

begin because I think the best place to start is with just how bad this loss is for the Minnesota Vikings going

forward.

And we can break down every part of the game.

But I think that I like to begin a postgame with the brass tacks what it all really means and what it means is oh

that's what it means because you start off with a loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and in a couple days they had to Philadelphia and then after that you are having Los Angeles coming here two weeks later Kansas City comes in here and leading up to this thing,

it was the game that they just could not lose

because they are the better football team.

And I think that they were the better football team

during this game.

And yet, they did not come through with the big moments they came through with

turnovers with three and outs in the second half and they couldn't make the big stop

at the end of the game when they really needed it. And also, hey, welcome to one score game land

where it's normal and you don't just win all of them by default.

So that's where I want to begin is bad.

There's no papering over it.

There's no saying like, well, you know,

it'll be okay, they can just turn around real quick.

No, you have to turn around and go play the Philadelphia Eagles. And I think based on what I saw from the bucks there's really no excuse for losing this game

because they're just not the superior team and yet they made the superior
