Someone made a comment about us being a perennial contender. I think thats true, but this team almost never controls its own destiny.

Robb_K Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Ugly, UGLY win! They should have beat that team by 20+. But we're back at .500. But this win doesn't give me a lot of confidence. Lots of bad decisions by Zimmer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marshpit23 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I think Zimmer and Kubiak need let Kirk loose. Sometimes you gotta throw to set up the run. When you see eight-nine men in the box, punish them with the pass! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Ugly win, but Jacksonville has been doing that all season for opponents. Watch the tape, correct the mistakes, play better next week. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just doesn’t fit the personality of his desired team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Sometimes it's better to be lucky than to be good. The Vikings weren't particularly good today...but, a win is a win...or so the cliche goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The O-line struggled in particular, so it's not like Kirk was going to drop back an bomb away. Let's keep in mind that the Packers looked like this against the Jaguars a few weeks ago when they won 24-20 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SotanKing Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Both JJ and Cousins indirectly asking Kubiak for calling more big plays in first half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcticNorseman Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 That was a lucky win, especially missing 5 points on kicks. Then, you have the offense allowing 7 points, so again, the D stood up and played -- without Kendricks. On O, it's all the O-line. Dozier was bad allowing pressures up the middle all day. Heck, even O'Neill kinda whiffed on the sack he gave up. Blitzes for the most part, were picked up by backs, but still, Cousins didn't have a clean pocket a lot of the times he was set up to pass. Dalvin crossed the 100-yrd barrier again, so was the running game bad? Eh, by the standards we've had with Adrian and Dalvin the past 12-13 years, yeah, it was mundane, but effective. Did you see how much time the Jags had the ball the first half? The Vikes flipped a 10-minute deficit in the 2nd half and held possession throughout most of OT. It was an ugly win, but when you give up pick-6s, don't stop the run and allow a desperate team to hang around, things are gonna be exciting. For the record, the half-tiime adjustments made by the Offensive and Defensive coaching staffs were brilliant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nozizaki Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I can't explain why, but this team plays up and down to the level of their competition. They also play NOTICEABLY WORSE at home as opposed to on the road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Another late 4th quarter drive where the defense needs to get a stop, and they instead allow a score. No other defensive situation has highlighted the loss of Hunter more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do it to get the run going. If the run starts going you have a hard time losing..... our run game didn’t start going until our pass offense opened up tho. 3 hours ago, twslhs20 said: Someone made a comment about us being a perennial contender.

I'd like to understand the math behind that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
