I hate to say it, but I predicted this last week. I know how bad we play after a bye and Minnesota always gets up for us.

No QB1, no RB1, no fight on offense. Hawks gifted it again and again. If there was a place to screw up, we did it today. This team is too young and doesn't have the leader it needs at QB. I never thought Fleck would out-Kirk Kirk, but he did today. Kirk should be ashamed. But this his yearly stinker, it is inevitable. As much as I like him, this schtick is getting incredibly old.

It's a rough road ahead. Playoff talk is officially over, thankfully.

Terrible loss. Like I said earlier, now that Iowa is out of it they will play great the rest of the year. Just like clockwork. KF cannot and will not win an outright championship.
Kirk feels so much more comfortable, and therefore his team does as well, when they are well and clear of any playoff or championship discussion.

Pathetic. Biggest turnover didn't even count. Hold on to punt return and we win.
I would’ve liked to seen that reviewed. I don’t know if you can decline that penalty or not but for not to even be reviewed was a big fail.

Kirk is now 14-18 after a bye. Defense played a hell of a game but the offense just pissed it away too many times for them to recover.
