That was a nice looking partial drive. We need to do that more in the second half.

How do we get the bottom of the barrel with the announcers almost every week?

Frustrating end of the half, but it was good to get Thielen a catch.

We’re still not quite hitting on all cylinders on offense. Their DL is giving us a good test.

Think we need to run and stop the run better on 1st down. Atlantas pass rush is no joke. Ours needs to step up.

Need to get Diggs going here in the second half. He's been taking a back seat lately. Time to make him a focus.

Vikings need to do better on third downs as well. Let's go.

Yes, he’s definitely taken a back seat this season. Probably becuase I drafted him for my fantasy football team. :(

How about a nice, juicy turnover to start the half?

I dont like this bend but dont break D the Vikes are using. Atl has been playing on our side of the field every single drive I think. D has to toughen up or we lose.

Holding one of the best offences in the league to field goals and only 9 points, yet our defense has to play better of we lose. Where is this 5 ranked offense? lol
