I thought he already did the record for 100 yard games to start a season? Broke the 100 yards to start a season (8); tied the consecutive 100 yard games in a season with Megatron.

He looked good on some plays, and not so good on others. He got pancaked on a couple critical running plays. He's a work in progress, generally improving as he gets more experience. I think he'll become a top-notch run blocker. He needs a lot of work on pass blocking. But he's big enough, and VERY mobile and athletic for his size. I think we have an eventual Pro Bowl RT on our hands whose play we'll enjoy for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Johnson also has 8 consecutive 100 yard games, just not to start the season. Thielen will try to break that next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VikeManDan Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Would’ve liked Zimmer to use his 2 TO’s at the end of the 1st half to try and get into FG range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he may be fine but he's a project. Don't think he was supposed to play this year and red shirt and get some strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikesfan89 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Thielens fumble and the int really killed us Defense was solid. I'm surprised they didn't go after Hill more but he must have played solid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Neill and Elflien are good building blocks. Hopefully Reiff can get back to 2017 form at some point, whether it be this year or next. If we can cut Remmers and bring in somebody decent I think our offense will be a lot better next year. Cook needs to come back, too. Murray is okay but a healthy Cook is way better.

Compton has played poorly in all the games (when measured by average starter replacement standards). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. This has been the story of the season. I think the playoffs will always be part of the conversation since the Bears and Packers aren't particularly good this year, and Detroit is Detroit.

I think you throw past the sticks on first down. If you get some yards, go for the FG. If nothing, run out the clock. We needed to build momentum there. Not go into the half after a bad bad turn of events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFeist Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 20 points from this offense is inexcusable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a top 7 receiver but didn't cave into that or play like he knows he's grossly over matched. Give him 2 years and I think he'll be a great nickel behind Rhodes and Hughes.
