Summary

The Minnesota Vikings lost to the Detroit Lions. Matthew and Sam talk about all the possible criticisms of Kirk Cousins, Mike Zimmer, Rick Spielman and everybody else that played a role in the Vikings falling to a 0-10-1 football team and taking a hit to their playoff chances, which now might not really matter. Could this be the game that forces changes if the Vikings lose on Thursday? What went wrong with the gameplan? The offensive line decisions? The defense at the end of the game? Playing Oli Udoh at left tackle? Now what happens? Get your NFL tickets at TickPick.com/Insider Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

0:04.8	Insider and the Blue Wire Network. TicPIC should be your first choice to buy football tickets
0:09.4	because they save fans money by never charging service fees ever. Hello welcome to the Vikings actually let Jared Goff lead a game winning drive
0:38.6	to win the first game for the Detroit Lions against the Minnesota Vikings and I think
0:46.3	Sam everyone is justified in whatever they say whatever criticism you have, you have, you're probably right. If you say that only
0:57.7	scoring six points in the first half is because your quarterback has these bouts with horrendous play and you just can't explain it, you're right.
1:07.8	If you say it's Clint Kubiak's fault because he was dialing up tight-end screens at the beginning of the game against one of the NFL's worst defenses.
1:15.5	You're right. If you said the Vikings' Galaxy brained their way to only Udo at left tackle for only God knows why.

1:28.0	If you say that Mike Zimmer had enough talent on the field, enough players that they have hand-picked or drafted,

1:57.7	and chased the points because that ended up hurting them later,
2:00.1	you're right.
2:00.8	If you say that they mismanaged the end of the game by not running off more clock because there was no way in hell that
2:08.4	Jared Goff was going down the field with only a minute and no timeouts. You are right. What did I miss?
2:14.4	Sam? What did I miss? I think everything is right if you say Mike Zimmer should be left in
2:18.5	Detroit. You're right. If you say that Rick Spielberg has built a roster so thin that if you lose a few players you fall to the
