Jakuvious Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 18 hours ago, Raves said: Well a big part of that was that the Vikings sold out to prevent anything more than 10 yards on a throw which is why Kamara and all the screens ate you guys alive. But it did allow you guys to limit the amount of points that could have been given up so it's still a positive. The RBs combined for 10 catches for 60 yards. I wouldn't call that eating anyone alive. Rushed for 106, but on 29 carries that's still not impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, it was one of our worst this year. The two turnovers directly contributed to points. One carried a potential 14 point swing and one was a pick 6. But it's encouraging that we can still win against a good team on the road with our offense playing like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We let you win so the Packers draft pick would be worse. I mean how often does Theilen fumble the game away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With both your CBs healthy and able to play up on their man, the Saints offense might've been even more hindered than it was. Instead the Saints got to move the ball a bit due to not always being contested underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I wasn’t a big fan of his at FSU and I don’t think he showed anything exceptional last year but I’m by no means a scouting expert. Thing he’s in that Mark Ingram tier of guys. Pretty good but is certainly replaceable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's closer to average in terms of talent and ability but he's had maybe 2-3 impressive games in his 1.5 year career. I'm always hesitant against college RBs with a ton of production and touches in college, just wonder if being the workhorse for years in college is impacting his ability to stay healthy at the next level. I don't think he was hit directly on his knee when he tore it if I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That win was a big one for you guys when it comes to playoff seeding. If we get the chance to play you again, it will definitely have to be at your place. I hope it happens, no matter where it takes place though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
