quote: ORIGINAL: Pager My favorite play was a 7 yd pick up by Diggs. Zero Blitz. Cooks gets in there to slow the rush, nice to see after a horrendous pass blocking game vs CHI. Cousins with a dart, no panic. Second favorite play was the 3rd and long pick up to Thielan (think it was 3rd and 13). Good line protection. Cousins an absolute dime to a place where no one but his guy could get it. Theilan a nice diving catch. You don't even throw that unless you have huge confidence in the guy you're throwing the ball to.

Cousins looked broken after the GB/Chi games Talk about a 180. I was considering a lawsuit against him after incurring monetary losses from the GB debacle. He looked like a HOFer today.

I loved that second play because the line did their job, Cousin with a great read and throw - trusting his guy, and Thielan being Thielan.

Jets with a nice win over a NFC opponent.

I was dreading the 3rd qtr comeback but ... after the final result ... think it was a good experience for this team. It's one thing to start off on a roll and another to stand there with a bloody nose and then go out and take care of business. IMO Stefanski is starting to grow into his role a little – varying it up better to keep the defense off balance. There were several plays I thought for sure we would follow up with a run but threw the ball instead, and vice versa. Playing against expectation a bit. Good to see our coaching stand up against theirs. The OL is playing incrementally better ... not much better ... but after two weeks, I am hoping we can still get there (to decent).We'll see.

Impressive victory. Offense looked solid.

He looked like a HOFer today. I was thinking the same- that we feel a lot better than two weeks ago. If we can continue the streak next week on the road vs Detroit, then the next game is a "gimme" at home vs. the Redskins. I'm not counting the chickens before they're hatched, but we could easily be going to 6-2 into the bye week and all division games remaining at home. I hope the team stayed healthy today. I did see that our LT was knocked out of the game. I hope it wasn't too serious.

#Vikings CB Holton Hill will be eligible to return from suspension in 12 days (on Friday, October 25th). (Sean Borman on Twitter)

Look, Cousins looked great today. We've seen his highs and his lows. The question is which one is the baseline (and I can't stress this enough) against decent teams. Philly was a just above average team. Granted, I can't think of any teams right now who look invincible, including the Chiefs, Patriots, or any others. NFC is up for the taking, so take it. Green Bay will be a bigger challenge than I once thought.

quote: ORIGINAL: Bill Jandro quote: ORIGINAL: Bill Johanesen Back in the day you had to give the OL a few seasons together to gel. Maybe, just maybe a couple of things are coming together: - The OL getting it together after a handful of game (although I have doubts that gelling can overcome some individual woes). - Cousins flipping a switch after all the criticism. Also, perhaps all the run-first stuff from Zimmer has bought us some games. Not that the oline pass blocked very well against the Bears but Kirk had time and just wasn't pulling the trigger. He was today and needs to continue getting rid of the ball quickly. He did escape the pocket a couple times that didn't look designed and improvised well. Kept his cool where he seemed to panic Chi/GB games. Point being if he gets rid of the ball in a timely fashion the oline looks better. The play calling was night and day difference today vs. the Bears game. The Bears game looked as if they coaches took the entire week off and put together a game plan in about two hours on Saturday afternoon. Today's game, they used the talents of the offensive weapons to immediately exploit Philly's defense.

Great football weekend for both the Vikes and Gophers. It's a good thing because the Wild look like bottom dwellers this season and the Twins season came to an abrupt conclusion. The Wolves will be bad again like they always have been.

I loved the aggressive playcalling today! We were taking what we wanted and even took a punch and still delivered the knock out. Let's go get a W at Detroit and keep this thing going! Cousins was dropping dimes all over the field today. Keep it up! [8\|]

Idiot owner to agree to it. Better to play in a shitty stadium in front of loyal fans then be second fiddle in a market that isn't hard core in the first place. SD losing to a 3rd stringer. Drop to 2-4 after this one. I thought they were going to be tough this year.

Jeff Jesser -> RE: General Vikes Talk (10/13/2019 8:44:23 PM)
The positive posts, IMO, come down to one thing. The Oline gave Cousins time. When they don't our offense sucks. When they do we look formidable. It's not rocket surgery to me.

Today - even the 4 yd pass to Diggs was a good start.
