I forgot who it was, maybe Kyle Williams....but he said bulletin board material intensity only lasts until about the first or second drive. After that, it's just regular football.
The Bills had a novel full of bulletin board material for 17 years and lost most of the time.
Facts also state that we were down 9 starters and even 2nd string players....plus multiple players couldn't finish the game because of the heat.
Would the Vikings have won if they were down that many people? It would be hypocrisy if the Vikings players were dropping like flies....
We saw the players falling on the field, you don't want to acknowledge that. You have this "who cares if they have heat exhaustion" attitude.
You also don't seem to think QB matters because the Vikings played against Teddy Bridgewater and Skylar Thompson.

You sure nailed it. Deep down we all agree with everything you have said but we are too afraid to because of group think..
I concede...Allen Robinson is absolutely a top 10 WR and Jeffrey Simmons is a better defensive player than Micah Parsons.
In the last few years, we've lost Edmunds, Milano, Settle, White, Poyer, Hyde, Bedford and Oliver due to injuries.
Our defense didn't take much of a step back at all....therefore none listed are very valuable.
