As much as I hate the rams, we need them to beat Seattle..


17-16, but still time left.



Bill Johanesen -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/19/2023 6:38:57 PM)

At 0-3 and 1-4, I gave up on the season based on the super low probability of making the playoffs, and was looking forward to possibly getting Caleb while picking up draft assets in a trade-based tank. Others like Phil were opting for a 'soft tank' by trading Hunter and others not signed next season, although leaving precious Cousins out of their soft tank.

Circumstances change. Fast forward, I'm excited about Dobbs. Not crowning him, but his mobility adds such a problem for defenses. And how he rolls, the team rolls!

The NFL and the networks promoting gambling left and right. That rarely turns out well. For the bettors.

Very much looking forward to it!

Giants QB 'Danny' DeVito throws 3 TDs. Daniel Jones would be another 'who?' except for that contract.

My soft tank was dependent on what happened by trade deadline and most important the SF game which I was on record with. Cousins was on a heater and no trade clause at the time. Also he isn’t signed after the season. Someone else signs Cousins, Hunter, etc. next offseason we get comp picks. Also on the record.

Keep it rolling Vikes. Defense has to control run game and Russ.



Phil Riewer -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/19/2023 7:02:54 PM)

My biggest fear tonight is our biggest cb Evans is out. Denver has a couple of big WR.

Most excited to see if Flores can unleash Barr like Zimmer never could.

Like Todd said. 98%! Might as well shut him down till after the bye.



Todd M -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/19/2023 10:47:29 PM)

Running on instinct and athletic ability Dobbs did some amazing things. But when it was time to be the guy he shrank.

Not the answer.

Did they say he was 98%?

Oh Well.

Regroup and start another win streak next week.

Any criticism will be met with "Hamstrings are tricky"



Richard Neussendorfer -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/19/2023 11:07:24 PM)

Still trying to understand going for it on 4th twice on the last drive only to totally play for a fg. Mind boggling.

KOC will say some BS about how Denver hadn't scored a TD all game and we were worried about turning it over.

We all knew Wilson was going to drive the field and score. It ALWAYS happens.



Mark Anderson -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/19/2023 11:20:37 PM)

KOC is so gun shy on using TOs after KC game.

We could have used one before Mattison fumble. Play clock went to 0 and we barely got it off and Oline was totally off kilter.

Hindsight is pretty easy I guess.

1st and 10 at the 12 yard line with a chance to ice the game. Mattison for nothing, Chandler for nothing, a weak short inc pass that stops the clock.

After being super aggressive to get there.



kevinemmer -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/20/2023 6:41:02 AM)

With KOC turtling holding a lead, we are better off in 4th
Qtr being down a little. 🤬

I wonder how bad that Jackson hit to Dobbs chin
On 1st drive hurt him? Wouldn’t be surprised if he was
concussed on that. And yeah, thanks stripes for
giving Denver 3 points there. 🙄

The love affair with #2 up the gut on 1st down should
have ended, oh let’s see, 9 games ago.

KOC, did you ever think about QB draw or play action boot
with run/pass option at 1st and goal?
Instead of wasting downs running up the gut?

Flores, luv ya man, but Perrinne killed us on last
drive, dude, wtf. Also, you could tell Sutton was going to
kill us, you have Blackmon with no help on crucial down?
Just double the dude. It’s not rocket science.
Metellus was late and also dropped 3 pts earlier.

The Pace forced fumble and trickles OOB was so
Vikings….game just out of our grasp.

Our last drive showed how we still need a beast Center
For Pass Pro.



Ricky J -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/20/2023 8:58:20 AM)

Poop! That was our game! So many preventable mistakes



Bill Johanesen -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/20/2023 9:02:12 AM)

Speaking of Pace, he had a defensive holding late to go along with with the offensive penalties. All told, six penalties which isn't terrible but they were mostly tough to overcome.

On the Denver TD drive, Flores was abused as they repeatedly went to the RB for good gains. It looked as if they were saving those plays, and led to 'I've seen this script before and the ending is bad'. Flores may have some master plan to intentionally adjust the scheme in-season, but more likely it's going to be more of the same high percentage 3-man rush + high-percentage blitzing.

Addison is good but Surtain added perspective as to where Addison is. Would have liked to see JJ in so that Addison could have been more of a factor.

Pass blocking was bad. If Dobbs was a statue he would have been sacked at least five times.

I"ll wait and see what David F's stopwatch says but it didn't look very good.
