Guest Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I got to watch the highlight tape last night. Defense was pretty good...very opportunistic. Offensive line needs help, but Cousins did surprisingly well evading the pass rush.. The number one offensive concern I have after this game is the lack of red zone opportunities. I think I saw that it was into the second half when the Vikings actually had a set of downs inside the 49'ers 20. A lot of drives stalled around mid-field.

vikingsrule Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 The amount of broken plays by the defense and big plays through the air concerned me. There were a few drives that the defense couldn't get off the field. I'm willing to chalk it up to week one, but we've got to get tighter if the defense is to be good as last year's. The run game was abysmal. Looked more promising with Murray, to be honest. I don't know what is to blame. Cook? The OL? 49ers defense? Passing game was okay, seemed like Cousins ignored Diggs in the second half and Rudolph almost the entire game minus the TD. Passing game needs work but I'll take it for week one.

JDBrocks Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 IDK if Kittle is that good (I've always liked him), or if SF was scheming him open, but that was a major issue yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFF is just poor at evaluating o-line play? I think this would be exhibit A in that argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDBrocks Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 There is no way that anyone that actually watched that game thought that Compton was the best offensive player for the Vikings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDBrocks Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I know at least one sack was credited to Compton. He was getting bullied all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I understand we gave up more yards than people wanted and especially on chunk plays, the difference between that game and last year was the turnovers. Four turnovers forced was more than we had in any game last year. That makes up the difference when you give up a few more yards than normal.
