The Vk Cousins to lead them in games like this.And once again Discount Armon Watts Jersey , he didn’t come through in prime time.Cousins’ struggles were on center stage again last night, as he fell to 0-7 all-time on Monday Night Football (he’s 5-13 overall in prime time) in a flaccid 21-7 loss to the Seahawks.“I don’t know what the scale [of frustration] is for that level, but certainly when you’re not putting as many points on the board as you know you’re capable of or you’ve shown in past games, it’s disappointing,” Cousins said, via Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com. “I think the added piece of the disappointment is when your defense is playing so well. Our defense, I feel the last couple weeks or the last several weeks, has played playoff football, high-level football, and put us in a position where we should and can be in the playoff conversation as a result of the way they are playing defense.“You know that if our offense would bring it that way that we brought it in the earlier weeks of the season, we would be pretty dangerous.”Of course, “our offense” is being led by him Dalvin Cook Jersey , and it’s easy to point to him as the reason for last night’s flop. Cousins was 20-for-33 passing for 208 yards, a touchdown and a fumble that resulted in a Seahawks score. But the team was 2-of-10 on third downs and 0-of-2 on fourth downs in particular, as Cousins was 1-of-7 for 2 yards, with a sack on those third and fourth downs.The Vikings found something approaching the offensive balance they were looking for, but the quarterback didn’t deliver, though he was under significant pressure.“What I felt coming off the field is there’s always a balance, a really hard balance to find between sitting in the pocket, going through your read, staying patient and then getting out of the pocket, giving up on the play and playing off schedule,” Cousins said. “And I think that’s something I’m going to go back and watch as to when do I want to quit on a play and get out and scramble and try to make something off schedule. I think I have the athleticism to do that. I think that’s in my game. I don’t think it’s something I do a lot of or enough, maybe Alan Page Jersey , and when you have a pass rush like the Seahawks tonight, getting in there and influencing the plays and coverage, that was pretty sound. Maybe there were some times where I could’ve done that.”The Vikings also underlined a troubling trend that doesn’t bode well for the playoffs. They’re now 0-5-1 against teams that entered their games .500 or better, but 6-1 against teams that were under .500.That’s not getting their money’s worth. Today is Election Day across the United States (for those of you that didn’t already vote ahead of today, I mean). No matter which party or candidates you support, I sincerely hope that you took the opportunity to get to the voting booth today, or that you voted ahead of time in some way, shape, or form.Having said that, we’re having an election of our own today, and it’s to vote for your Minnesota Vikings midseason MVP. As far as I can see it, there are three worthy candidates http://www.thevikingslockerroom.com/authentic-brett-favre-jersey , though if you want to present other points of view you can do that in the comments section. With that, here are our three candidates:Kirk Cousins, quarterback (71.3% completion rate, 2,685 passing yards, 17 TD, 5 INT)Even after a not-so-stellar performance against the Detroit Lions this past Sunday, at least statistically, Cousins is still on track to have a very good season and totally validate the Vikings’ decision to eschew Sam Bradford, Case Keenum, Teddy Bridgewater, and a host of others to make him the Vikings’ quarterback for the next three seasons (at least). Sure Womens Stefon Diggs Jersey , he’s had a couple of down moments, but for the most part he’s done a very nice job through the first nine games for the Vikings.Danielle Hunter, defensive end (43 combined tackles, 11.5 sacks, 1 fumble recovery, 1 TD)With Everson Griffen having missed the majority of the season with his personal issues. . .and we’re thrilled to see him back, by the way. . .Hunter has taken over as the leader on the defensive line for the Vikings. He collected a sack in the first seven games of this year, but after not getting one against New Orleans, he made up for it by picking up 3.5 against the Lions this past Sunday. He now leads the NFL in sacks at 11.5, and it’s starting to look like a really good thing that the Vikings locked him into a long-term deal when they did.Adam Thielen, wide receiver (78 receptions, 947 yards Chuck Foreman Jersey , 7 TD)After racking up an NFL record-tying eight straight 100-yard appearances to start the season, Thielen was held to just four catches for 22 yards and a score this past week. Despite that, he still leads the NFL in both receptions and receiving yardage, and is tied with a host of others for second in receiving touchdowns. Thielen snapped the Vikings’ drought of 1,000-yard receiving seasons last year, and is now on pace to set Vikings’ records for both receptions and receiving yardage in a season.Since I don’t want to unduly influence anyone’s vote, I won’t talk about who I personally would vote for in this race. However, those are the top three candidates as I see it, so let your voice be heard!
