Adam Thielen, on the #Vikings being more aggressive last week: “Yeah, I think it was a good showing of what the formula kinda has to be to win games. It's a little bit different league nowadays. You have to be able to be aggressive, because there's just so much firepower.”


To me this translates to, "Yeah, we finally played a game without using the gameplan from the ice bowl and we won. No one on the team is surprised except for maybe Kirk but he's still plugged into the outlet in his storage closet waiting for someone to give him a play or tell him to call timeout. I'd raise a fuss like Diggs did except that I'm too settled in here so I just put up with the needless conservatism and mediocrity."

Nice win against none better! I'm sure Marty will be by to celebrate the victory!

Nobody should ever talk anybody out of making tacos.

Right!



Burns -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/21/2021 6:27:35 PM)

I would like to see less Xavier woods and mor Cam Bynum.



ambear -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/21/2021 6:36:17 PM)

5 and 5 and trending up. Go out and beat SF and we are in the conversation.

Woods was a step behind all day. If he isn't ranked as our worst defender by PFF for the day, I'll be surprised. #24 was quite poor too and Barr wasn't impressive either.



odin -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/21/2021 6:51:17 PM)

I often see Barr observing rather than reacting to opportunities, kind of like Cam Newton on his SB fumble.

That's what I've compared it to. Also at the snap he jumps away from the action either really bad at anticipating...or really well if you're trying to keep your jersey clean.

That's cool regarding your observations, I didn't see them before. I agree with the "jersey clean" comment too, very nice.

Cousins avg yd/pass telling the whole story in the W/L column.



Todd M -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/21/2021 7:11:06 PM)

This team isn't a kick the doors in, get a 1st round bye and win 2 games to get to the SB team. The one I dreamed of. But, as it's been done before, they could be that scrappy team that finds themselves and steals 3 road games.

I just have to hold onto hope.

Last 2 games;
30/38 459 3 0. 12.08 ypa targeting 18 & 19 (72.3% of our receiving yds and 229.5 yds per game)
19/32 176 5 5 2 0. 5 5 ypa targeting everyone else (27.7% of our receiving yds and 88 yds per game)
49/70 635 5 0 9.07 ypa total



Steve Lentz -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/21/2021 7:21:42 PM)

I'm not sure there is a WR that is better than J.J.



marty -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/21/2021 7:27:22 PM)

That is great praise for JJ.

But I still believe a passing game is 80% QB, 20% WR, so kudos to Captain Kirk.



Todd M -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/21/2021 7:30:14 PM)

I'm glad Cousins is doing well but I'd put it closer to 80-20 that our receivers are providing the razzle dazzle.

I know. I'm still trying to figure out why they run out the offensive line, tight ends, and running backs, on pass plays. I guess so the defense doesn't know it's a pass play?
