Fred Warner being Fred Warner made that game look closer than it was. He's a future HoFer for sure, forcing the Aaron Jones goal line fumble stopped us being 3tds ahead. And all respect to Warner he had a game. Kittle got loose aswell, but aiyuk was taken away and mason didn't really get going. Flo managed to keep purdy flustered and disrupt the 9ers attack, making it so the defense had to work much harder, worse field position etc. 9ers are a top tier team in the league. To walk away with 2td lead (and could have been 3) goes to show, the vikings may have something special.
Total Yards
403 Vikings
396 49ers
Could make the same argument about JJ beating two guys for a 97 yard TD. Best in the league and future hall of famer. Sam still cooked when he went out. I am not saying it was all JJ but if you are going to say Fred Warner kept it from being lopsided you could also say JJ kept it from being a Vikings loss.
I mean the 49ers handed you guys a TD on a blocked punt and JJ made a fool out of Brown who was supposed to be the high safety and prevent that play. If Brown doesn't bite on the fake stop that's not even a completion let alone a TD.
Vikings deserved to win. They outplayed them but I think you are misremembering the game in thinking the Vikings utterly dominated.

I would also like to point out Mason had 100 yards, a TD and avg'd 5 yards a carry. You guys stuffed us on the 1.5 yard line which was huge and got the 97 yard touchdown right after. So both teams had a turnover at the goaline.
Hopefully the Vikings can keep it up and the 49ers can get healthy and sort out their D and Special Teams issues and we can do it again in January.

I find these points to be highly apt and well considered. Haha

You came with facts, I came with purple tinted glasses.
But I am confused, #699305 you said Flores dominated shanahan.
reply
I think game planning wise he did. They sacked Purdy 6 times. He was under pressure all game. They disguised coverages and blitzes. I think in terms of game planning and scheming he dominated Shanahan. I don't think the game overall was a domination but in terms of coaching KOC and Flores were way better than Shanahan and Sorenson.
