Question: Do you expect to see more runs?

Matt Birk: ... maybe a couple more but you are who you are. This team is at it's best when you throw to set up the run.

Zim's coaching record with running (I'm sure many of you have seen it but here it is anyway):

20+ runs a game, record is 45-14
-20 runs a game, 0-16-1

The old "why run and try to win 13-10 in this new age NFL?" will come up.

When actually if we run well we can play action and get medium to deep shots with passing game.

Wow! Don't make foolish forecasts like this just to attempt to prove you're a bigger Vikings fan than another. This is as close to insane as you possibly be.

And this is a stretch predicting a Vikings victory.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Foolish indeed.

Cousins still with some shakey "deer in the headlight" moments. He has been showing panic that we hadn't seen earlier in the year.

Not a well executed screen on the pick 6 and they shouldn't run that play so often. Great play by the Miami cb whom read the play.

Excellent defensive performance despite the 75 yard run to open the 2nd half.

9 sacks. Today is how I envisioned Zimmer using Barr.

Sherels just keeps on ticking. Good ST's play all around today. Perfect day from bailey.

Just thinking about that this morning. If we have to play Chi to close season and then travel to Chi for WC game is not ideal.

Not sure of the odds but their sure to be low regarding beating the same team in back to back weeks.

Granted, Tannehill just kind of goes into fetal position but Barr had a burst around the edge that we haven't seen in awhile.

He certainly goes down easy similar to Cousins

Their 20 rushes gained 156 yds., 7.8 ave.
------------------
vs. Sea.:
22 passing play calls for 60 yds

42 rushes for 214 yds.
------------------

Last two weeks defensive totals: 53 passing play calls netted 97 yds. for our opponents, a 1.83 yd per pass ave.!I wonder how often that has been beaten in the 2000s?

Unfortunately we also gave up 62 rushes for 370 yds., 5.97 yds. per carry ave.

Overall, 115 plays for 467 yds. 4.06 yds per play, that should be good enough to win most games (only three teams in the NFL are averaging less than five yards per offensive play).

I give credit to Stef for staying the course. Several gawd awful series, but when it mattered most, called some good plays.

It helps when your D is dominating.

And the D you are playing is ranked 30th.

Gonna be an interesting two weeks.

While fretting, I wasn't overly worried due to the way we went up on them 21-0. The DL (and/or their OL) definitely tilted the game after 21-17.

Aldrick Robinson has been a nice get. Simple route, perfect 40 yard pass.

In short, when you factor in the Miami D, we saw Cook run for 136 simulated yards.

Arif Hasan@ArifHasanNFL
According to the game notes they hand out after every game, Marcus Sherels set "a team record for highest punt return average versus Miami in a single game, min. 3 returns"

Arif Hasan@ArifHasanNFL
Mackensie Alexander has tied a team record for most sacks by a DB in a season, with four (Robert Griffith, 1999). Zimmer said some of his sacks have come from the fact that opposing teams have concentrated on the blitz potential of Harrison Smith, who is often on the other side.

Ben Goessling@GoesslingStrib
Mike Zimmer said Kevin Stefanski "knew what I wanted" on offense this week. He mentioned a couple times where Stefanski told him, "I'm going to run the ball here."

@christomasson
Kirk Cousins said on the pick six the guy was not blocked.

Ben Goessling
@GoesslingStrib
Zimmer said Vikings' offensive players were excited this week about "the possibility of playing football the way we did today." Said the game plan was cut back a bit today, but faster tempo also helped. "All offenses have a lot of plays; you just can't call them all."
