VikeManDan Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Perhaps I’m off base but I would’ve liked to see Zimmer adjust to the 6OL by giving Seattle a 5-2 look (Bear/Eagle front?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than missing Smith on the 3rd down. And the 4th down, this is on Stefanski too, but I would've gone to Rudolph. He had made 2 huge contested catches and is proven in those situations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a genius when all the first round picks were defense.... So what about all of those other decades of success, that was just the draft capital doing all of the work? Aren’t those same first round picks on the team now? I’m not saying he can’t do better, but you can’t have it both ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SotanKing Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Diggs used to have safest hands in the league last season...he has been really sloppy this year...4 fumbles and lot of dropped passes...2 of them even led to interceptions 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitStickAllDay Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 The defense is getting a lot of flack, rightly so after this game. But let’s not pretend that this isn’t a defense that is statistically a top 10 defense. Sure, it has regressed quite significantly from the halcyon years, but it’s still good enough. I think the defense gets materially better if Rhodes is benched. Also need to figure out how to stop the run. No idea how that happens. Also, it could just be that Seattle has a phenomenal run game and outschemed us. Summer historically has done well adjusting to passing games, but the run D hasn’t been a real problem until now. We we shall see how he adjusts. Realistically, we were in a game that we knew would be tough with a small margin for error. Difficult watch? Sure. But far from a disaster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d suggest that Rhodes’s poor play, missed tackles, and Linval being less than 100% have more to do with tonight’s loss than a successful scheme spanning two franchises and 10+ years turning out to be fraudulent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vikings pass defense was ranked 16th before this week (DVOA)....it's been a concern for quite sometime, the interior pass rush ranks dead last in league in pressures generated.

It's just weird how the guy who had 0 or 1 drops all season last year suddenly has lot of sloppy plays..he also leads the league among WRs with 4 fumbles...I think he will be alright. Getting Thielen back should also help in freeing up Diggs bit more. He won't get much blame though...since Cousins signed here, whenever Vikings lose, he pretty much gets majority of the attention/blame (sometimes rightfully) irrespective of whether he was the issue or not.

Not much blame for Cousins tonight. He played well. This game was simply about the Defense’s inability to hold up in the run game and Xavier Rhodes’ continued terrible play. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter and Griffen are great but that interior pass rush sucks, a big reason why they aren't able to generate enough pressure on opposing QBs. Even Seahawks who have a below par OL managed to allow pressures on only 12% of dropbacks tonight. That lack of interior pass rush is gonna be a big issue whenever they face any decent offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
