twslhs20 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Cousins was 25th in Average Completed Air Yards (4.5) and Intended Completed Air Yards (6.1). He wasn't willing to throw it deep, nor was he completing deep passes. Also Joe Mixon broke 8 tackles. Most by any RB this week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikesfan89 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Osborn played 81% of the snaps so they must have been in 3 wide a lot. Is that going to be a change going forward or is it just until the new tight ends get up to speed? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d hate to cut into his play time due to an offensive philosophy that forces Herndon on the field. He had himself a nice game.

SemperFeist Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 If you know anyone that complained about Zimmer “wasting” a challenge on the Jefferson play, the Raiders just showed why it was the correct decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first thought was that they should be able to punch it but we've seen them not able to get in from the 1 before. They easily could have had another penalty to push them back. Unless there was very little chance of it being overturned its hard to blame anyone for taking a chance that it does get overturned for a TD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't trust anything that comes from ESPN. I suspect that ESPN took the lazy way out and put them in last because of alphabetical order. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are the only NFC central team not to lose to another NFC opponent. If the playoffs started today, we would go in as the number one seed from the NFC central lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, we haven't been in the NFC Central for nearly 20 years. 🤣 And we're first because we didn't get obliterated like the other NFC North teams, not because we didn't play another NFC team.

Haha NFC central…man I’m getting old and a poor historian, too. I thought that conference records were part of the tie breaking process and I’m pretty sure I’m wrong with that as well. In retrospect, I shouldn’t have posted a reply to begin with lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VikeManDan Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 One thing I noticed was how much "empty" we ran. I was encouraged by that from Kubiak. I recall some of those empty sets being on 3rd and short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
