That probably doesn’t say a lot about the league’s state of tackles, but we have one of the better ones. And you really expect a 3rd string G to be a good looking starter? I disagree on Reiff. And I was talking about Compton who was horrible as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the line has looked better since he came back. I don't think he's a good starter, but he's competent and can certainly be part of the future. He needs to be surrounded by better guards, that much is for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a bad play happens Zimmer should go out there and not throw interceptions and block better. Isn't it his job to make sure the team bounces back from a horrible twist of luck at the half? Or what am I missing here? The team, more so the offense, absolutely shut down after the Thielen fumble. And once again, out coached in the second half by Payton much like the NFCCG. I don't know if it's just me but it's a trend that we're out coached and outplayed in the 2nd half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VikeManDan Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 What a bummer. Saints very opportunistic with 14 points off of turnovers. Vikes unable to score off the Brees INT Thielen fumble an unfortunate turning point in the game Need to take care of business in November, all divisional games.

The problems moving the ball in The 2nd Half came mainly from The Saints' adjustments, and to a lesser extent, getting too far behind, and not being able to use the run to help balance the attack. The turnovers killed us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

y*so*blu Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 This team has a lot of work to do, especially on offense. We basically threw away any chance to win by allowing one mistake to snowball into a dozen more. We've got some really important divisional games coming up, and if we go into them with the same weakness we showed tonight our playoff chances could be finished.

Vikes_Bolts1228 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Wait. Now what record is Thielen trying to break? I thought he already did the record for 100 yard games to start a season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitStickAllDay Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 OK. Drew Bree’s threw for 120 yards. Our defense played fine. Perfect? No. But well enough to win this game. We can’t make mistakes like Thielen’s fumble and the missed 4th and 1 conversion and expect to beat good teams like New Orleans. The Vikings, like it or not, are built on strong fundamentals, ball control, no penalties, low turnovers. When that algorithm is upset it’s hard for us to win. We are still capable of being a different team or at least executing at a higher level. We are still in reasonable shape in the division and if we clean things up we can beat anyone. If we make mistakes like today it’ll be a frustrating remainder of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freakish Mind Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Biggest dislikes from this game Zimmer having absolutely no balls at the end of the 1st half Treadwells continued hotheadedness. Seroiusly take a que from those other two receivers on our team Bailey with another missed XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
