I love to watch the TV reporters grill Cousins after a loss. All fingers are pointing at him as the reason for the loss.  He absolutely hates talking to reporters. The vikings aren't done losing, either. Step up to the microphone, Mr. Cousins!

ESPN had a stat that Cousins is being pressured on 34% of his drop backs this year.  That’s up 5% from last season. 

As for the play action attempts, he only has 6 that were thrown 15 or more yards downfield. 

What this tells me is teams are selling out in run defense to get after Cousins and stop the pass.   While Cook is getting his on the ground, the Vikings are 31st our of 32 teams in passing yards per game.  

As a team, they are also 3rd in the league in terms of penalty yardage.  

 

Holy shit. Stefon Diggs was a non participant at vikings practice today, and it was not injury related. Speculation is running wild in purple country as to why, and many are speculating that Diggs wants out, and is trying to force a trade.

He's sick of Capt'n Kirk's dead ducks.

I've heard that some of the viking O line men are organizing a team outing on a boat ride on Lake Minnetonka to try and sway Diggs's attitude. To help with Diggs's mindset, he will be excluded from the clean up afterwards. 

Most wide receivers are divas.  Diggs isn’t the first and won’t be the last. 

Whats shocking is this year he has 13 catches and 1 TD through 4 games.  Last year at this time?   27 catches and 3 TDs.  

Heck he had 44 targets through 4 games last year.  This year?  Only 19.  

If catching the ball is your thing well you might want to demand a trade from MN. 

SKOL!! 

SCHISM!   I find it hilarious that florio spent all preseason trying to create a Rodgers-LeFleur personality problem only to have his beloved queens be the schism team. 

Diggs wants out and the ship is taking on water.  oh it is to laugh.

This is, well, so Vikings..

Will 8-8 get Zim and Spielman fired? Ziggy's spent a lot on this roster and on Vikingland in Eagan.

I sure hope not - they're doing a great job!!!!   Don't put any thoughts in ziggy's brain pan.  

The Sons of the Monongahela have always had respect for the great and storied franchise that are the Minnesota Vikings. Walking through their halls you feel the head coaching tradition from Jerry Burns, to Denny Green, to Mike Tice, Brad Childress and the great Leslie Frazier.

Florio is the biggest putz on the internet.  

Of course, it's great fun to revel in Vikings misery, but if there is one thing in the world I can't stomach, it's a player that quits on his team. 
These guys have NO problem raking in money and endorsements when everything is going the way they want it, but when circumstances change, they're willing to quit long before they look to make anything (starting with themselves) better.
Diggs is nothing but another asshole that's first in line when it comes to demanding respect, but is nowhere to be seen when it's time to give it.

F*** off, loser. I hope you get neck broke.

Diggs is a top 10 WR, he’s also a huge asshole it seems, both can be true. He’s an outstanding rout runner and a catch % of >68%. It’s remarkable he’s been as successful as he has with their horseshit QB play. I would be mad too if I was Diggs, but Kubiak is correct for taking the ball out of Cousins hands. Their running game has kept them in games. It’s just so comical that all we heard after the Cousins signing was about how Gruden and others wouldn’t give him a chance and Washington was the problem and he was a franchise QB and blah blah blah. They need to start the tank, fire sale off assholes like Diggs to get draft capital to move up (or just take) a QB, and start rebuilding that OL.

Don't forget Les Steckel! Or his wife Tess!

Total targets for each?

Thelan called out his QB after the game last week and BuzzCuzz apologized to him yesterday.

I'd guess targets are down all over. When you go from pass happy to run happy that tends to happen.
