In fairness, I don't think too much should be made of a proud pass catcher voicing frustrations that were probably only meant to be heard by his primary defender during an offensive performance that would have needed a Beyonce-style upgrade only to be considered anemic. That said, it bears mentioning that what was unintentionally heard is entirely fitting of the bottom-feeding career of the person it was indirectly directed at...
The Vikings' offensive line was admittedly atrocious, but not atrocious enough to completely explain their quarterback's struggles in getting the ball to some of the league's most prominent playmakers. Much like he has been against almost every good team he's ever faced in a big spot, Kirk Cousins was exactly the type of overwhelmed player that the Redskins felt comfortable letting walk last night, and it's not all that easy to make Washington look right these days. These clear misses against a Seattle secondary that was made to look like the second coming of the post-PED 'Legion Of Boom' did just that...
...and managed to get an offensive coordinator officially dunked (albeit one who had already put himself on thin ice)...
The fact of the matter is that the guy who was paid oh-so-handsomely to be the difference maker has historically only made a net-negative difference when it actually matters. For about 60 million more guaranteed dollars than Case Keenum himself would have cost, the Vikings basically got themselves a slightly more talented but much less clutch version of him as his replacement. Therefore, whether the question is "you like that?!" or "you Vike that?!", I think we can fairly accurately use stats, context clues, or a hot mic to determine what Adam Thielen's answer might be.
