TNF: Vikings vs Rams

None of the points you made about Philly/Atlanta change the fact that we were winning both games with under 2 minutes and had defense failures that cost the game. We were winning in spite of the those injurie's and found a way to lose.

I think when a team is playing with advertises your learn more about the character of the team. How hard there willing to push themselves and there teammates and to my eye, they folded. Its look like a team that knew they could not win and did not give 100% effort.
Sorry, the “did not give 100% effort” comment is flawed. Three DBs colliding at midfield is a communication error or simply bad luck. And Adebo too aggressively grabbing a receiver for a PI penalty was all effort rather than giving up. To say they weren’t giving full effort is a failed “effort” on your part to support all-things-DA-are-bad is weak. There’s plenty of reasons to rail on DA, but to say the players weren’t giving full effort in those situations doesn’t hold up.
