Booth being replaced by Shelley and Boyd, could be addition by subtraction.

Although I am skeptical about the teams chances, I want to send out good vibes.

KOC has been getting the team to rise to the occasion more often than it hasn't this season, let's hope that continues.

My son flew in from LA and we are going to the game tonight. I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised. Our d-line will have to dominate and the o-line somehow hold its own.


True. Also, our coaching and Game plan has to be better. You lose your best Offensive lineman by far and didn't adjust to quicker passes or added protection. I hope our coaches got a little wake up call on the overall quality of the O-line and their need to anticipate adjustments much quicker.



Steve Lentz -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/24/2022 11:24:07 AM)

Our OL remains (years) our most glaring weakness. The next couple weeks of football will be huge tests against teams that get after the QB. Cousins is not the most mobile QB and can at times certainly hold on to the ball too long. I guessing we give up around 5 sacks today.
I hope I'm WRONG!!!

It would help if this was the week where things finally click for Ingram.

I am thinking fewer sacks for Cousins today, hopefully not more picks.

Cousins needs to think quicker, he does that and he might be fine.



marty -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/24/2022 12:44:57 PM)

Kirk seems to do better when KOC has him do no huddle, series of quick passes, the end of halves, the end of games, and when they respect the opponent.

He seems to get lackadaisical every 3rd quarter, as though the halftime talk only made him more cerebral, or was too much for him, not enough quickness is shown.

His passes usually seem to go where he wants them to go, good accuracy and good, strong throws. It just seems like Kirk needs to read things quicker, or make changes a little quicker.



Daniel Lee Young -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/24/2022 2:52:00 PM)

Lions have improved a lot..

That game is no longer a gimme..

Its ‘off with his head’!

Dallas and NE are top 5 defenses. KOC schemed way better tonight.

First win against NE in 22 years.



Phil Riewer -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/24/2022 11:16:53 PM)

I was watching Shelley and it reminded me of scrimmaging the 9th grade when on varsity. Can’t wait for Evans and Dantzler coming back.

Another good win.



Daniel Lee Young -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/24/2022 11:47:53 PM)

Shelly did his job when it counted and that last defensive stand was what PPE, do.



Daniel Lee Young -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/24/2022 11:49:29 PM)

KOC is such a far better coach…

Justine Jefferson and Steffon Digs make QB’s look good.

Fn Stud receivers..



Bill Jandro -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/25/2022 6:56:15 AM)

Good win. I didn't think our oline would hold up but they did well and good Kirk showed up and got rid of the ball quickly. Yes JJ is a stud the guy just catches everything.

But boy our defense sucked for most of the game. Mainly due to playing off recievers with a 15 yard cushion. They made Jones look like the 2nd coming of Tom Brady. I don't think we forced a punt or an incompletion until the 4th qtr.



ambear -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/25/2022 7:35:31 AM)

Nice to see the team bounce back from a bad game. Hopefully the time off can get some people healthy.



ronhextall -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/25/2022 7:44:03 AM)

JJ will have to be made the highest paid WR in NFL.

Crazy talent.

Rightly so. The guy is our offense. Just pay the man.



Bill Jandro -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/25/2022 8:03:53 AM)

Hockenson is better than Irv by a country mile. Good move by Kwesi



Tom Sykes -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/25/2022 9:31:33 AM)

Good bounce back win.

NE is at the bottom but still in our competitive tier of teams … along with half the league. Jets as well. We are not as balanced as some but JJ is the equalizer.

Havent watched SF, Ravens for awhile … but outside of KC, Dal, Phi … feel like we could play with anybody.

Thats remarkable given the holes in the roster and cap situation when Kwesi - KOC took over.



Jeff Jesser -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/25/2022 9:39:23 AM)

Nope, add SF to your list Tom. They would overpower us. Ravens, we would have a chance.



Todd M -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/25/2022 10:03:05 AM)

I wouldn't conclude we're going to win or lose any game at this point.



Ricky J -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/25/2022 10:29:57 AM)

Gotta love how with every NE score (except the :03 at the half) "they" answered every time.

Nice!

No one could know that ... not with this team

This! Enjoy the wins and let's see what happens. That defense is the worst I've seen in quite some time but they seem to step up at the end in the close games. It almost leads me to conclude that it's scheme and how we're lining up. Maybe hoping for mistakes instead of forcing them or something. I wouldn't miss Donnashell that's for sure. Great win though and very entertaining game. JJ is unreal!



Bill Johanesen -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/25/2022 10:31:59 AM)

Liked seeing Cousins slamming the ball down when they - yet again - couldn't get the play off in time.

Are the playcalls too long? X-right, fluff, fluff, yadda, yadda, blah, blah, on... seven.

Every game, they have to burn timeouts.

Even with everyone lining up with ten seconds to go can be dicey as they go through a litany of shit. Just hike the damn ball.
