SteelKing728 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Glad we won. Much needed. Other thoughts: 1) the loss to Detroit sucks. 2) of course Adrian Peterson goes off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 sort of a soft win offensively, but we'll of course take it. would have been nice to see some of those field goals be td's. skol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb_K Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Nice to see The Vikings win, and, especially, to see Laquon Treadwell making some nice catches, needed with Diggs out. Also nice to see Murry running better, and Mckinnon really running well. The Vikings will need him badly. Now, with Rodgers out for 7 weeks to the rest of the season, the field is open for The Vikings to win the division, even, possibly, with a mix of Keenum, Bradford and Bridgewater at QB, and without Dalvin Cook.

SemperFeist Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Great win! It wasn’t dominant, but I never felt like the team was in danger of giving up the lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Next week we'll need to run it more. No reason Keenum should not need to drop back so much and their front 7 is beat up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 It was great seeing Treadwell make a highlight catch! I still think the penalty on him was a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is actually not correct though. It is about the contact location. http://operations.nfl.com/the-rules/2017-rules-changes-and-points-of-emphasis/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the biggest thing. I kept seeing people say we needed to "smell blood" and not be so conservative, but I had no concerns that they might come back for the entire 4th quarter.

And with this win, it can really open the door for us. I think that game at Detroit will be a must-win though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He directed MOST of his force from his shoulder to the opponent's shoulder, but, also, in doing so, his own helmet did make glancing contact with the Packer's helmet. Being as the Packer was unaware of Treadwell's approach (defenceless), THAT helmet-to-helmet contact meets the "neck and above" criteria for what is not allowed , requiring that the penalty to be called when the defender is defenceless.

I'm sorry, but a glancing tap of helmets doesn't merit an "above the neck" call to me. The brunt of the hit, the target of the hit (as the NFL put it) was below the neck.

Especially with The Vikings at home, and so many of The Packers' starting defenders out, and The Packers demoralised and in shock due to the long-term loss of Rodgers. The Vikings should have arisin and gone for the jugular. Let's hope Barr and Diggs will be back next game. I guess there's no hope for Bradford to be back for the next 2 or possibly 3 weeks. Let's hope Teddy is ready to play, and can be activated, and start playing in 2 or 3 weeks after lots of practicing. Let's hope Keenum and The OL get better each game, so The Vikings can survive until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
