Don’t worry. They play the Packers this weekend. We’ll make them look like the entire rest of the season was a fluke.

I’ve watched a lot of terrible saints football and am shocked we aren’t on that list somewhere
Deuce McAllister?
Not a great list to be included in.
We'll make it a great list this year
Good god - The bears must have not scored at all then.
Dang we're on there 3 times, all during Steven Jackson's career too
Maybe they should pick up that Dalvin Cook guy. I heard he thinks he is underutilized and looking for a new team
Honestly, would love to have him back on a more reasonable contract. He wasn’t worth the cap hit he was due, but there’s still gas in that tank.
I think we still have dead cap hit from him for $5M this year and $3M next year. He doesn't need any more money from us. He's already getting more than he's worth from the Vikings.
So we’re saying the Packers have a chance?
All Kirkball, all the time, baby. I want 80 Kirk touchdowns this year. No rushing touchdowns, just Kirk touchdowns.

Bettors are gonna bet the TD unders on Mattison Sunday and watch it go over.
No Dalvin Cook is being felt.
You don't need to have a rushing TD if Wilks is dialing up Cover 0 with 10s left, so you can get a 60yrd TD.
Imagine if they had a good RB like Cook
Surprised we aren't right there with them since we don't seem to score ANY TDs this year lol
(Recent hilarious Bills win excluded)
Hurts over there like “hold my beer” as he gains another single yard for another TD.
Somehow this will get blamed on Cousins.
Greg Roman isn't busy far as i know. There's a guy who loves an A gap.
More defensive TDs than rushing is nutty
I can’t believe Kirk is holding back the team like this.
As a Mattison owner, they prefer passing when inside the 3. With that said Mattison hasn't given them any reason to believe they can pound it in.
Great say it two more times and it’s a guarantee to break on Sunday.
The Minnesota Vikings have ZERO rushing TDs on the season.
The Minnesota Vikings have ZERO rushing TDs on the season.
Mattison is dogshit and despite trading for Akers, KOC hates giving him the ball for some reason.
It is wild how bad our rushing offense looks considering the o line play this year. We have been suffering from garbage o line for years just to finally have a good one, and completely lose our rushing attack. Doesn't help that we have had like 9 fumbles and have been often playing from behind.
CJ Ham tush push
Far from AP days HA HA
Bring me King Henry!
Don't worry. They'll get it this week.
Hopefully 3 or 4 of them.
Seems unsustainable
Same with Green Bay
I wonder if it's too late to trade for an under-utilized running back like, say, Dalvin Cook
Yeah that will definitely change.
Reinforces my belief Mattison is not good in short yardage situations.
And I am starting Mattison. Wish me luck gents.
This offense would be unstoppable if it just didn't give touches to Alexander Mattison. It's like he's a double agent that ruins drives. Teams basically don't guard the dump off against us because they know they can open field tackle him every time.
I'd say he has cinder blocks for hands but there's a remote chance a football could get stuck in a cinder block for a completion.
Yeah well my other team has 3 passing tds on the season and one of those was from Derrick Henry.
Knowing the packers, the vikings are gonna lead the league in rushing touchdowns this week
Mattison was a terrible fantasy pick
Another fun fact about the Vikings is they've never won a Superbowl in franchise history. Not even close.
Putting all my money on over 2-1/2 rushing TDs sgainst the packers this week.
How the fuck did the niners lose to them…
It reminds me of that movie with the racist coach that the black dude rushed the team all the way to the five and he would substitute a white guy to get the TD. I think Paul Walker was in it
Can Cam Akers make a difference the rest of the season for Minnesota? The Rams did not want the guy for a reason. I thought he was going to be a star in the league at running back. It’s so common at the running back position to see a guy that pops off the screen or looks great in the beginning of their career for a season or two and then they just aren’t the same player anymore.
