Observation #9 - Vikings win over Carolina - Brett Jones was horribly overmatched today in pass protection. The Vikings desperately need Ezra Cleveland to come back form injury. When he does, Jones is a backup, and next year, the Vikings need a better backup at Guard. Observation #18 - Vikings win over Carolina: The Viking D-Line is really poor at holding the point of attack. Far too many 2nd and 2, 3 and 4 yards. It got slightly better later in the game with LB support but this is a glaring weakness (no run stopping or pass Ruch capability) Observation #17 - Vikings win over Carolina: Dan Bailey is often forgotten but he casually hit the 53 yard FG to close the half, and those were the points that enabled his final PAT to win the game. Observation #15 - Vikings win over Carolina: Kyle Rudolph showed that he was much more of a receiving threat than Conklin. Kyle may have lost speed, but his 7 catches today were key to keeping drives alive. Observation #14 - Vikings win over Carolina: One year wonder - Anthony Harris was consistently late in run and pass support today. Far too much money committed for such little impact in 2020. Move on for 2021 and take the compensatory draft pick. Observation #13 - Vikings win over Carolina: How many times do we have to see 1st down passes by the Vikings that fall incomplete, only to be followed by a slammed r up the middle for 0-2 yards with Dalvin Cook. Good God, break the trend Gary Kubiak! Observations #5 - Vikings win over Carolina: We dissed Bisi Johnson, and (while he could give 2 sh*ts about what we say), he responded today with 7 huge catches and a 2 PY catch that was not easy. He proved he belongs. (VikeFans on Twitter)
