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.

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.
