cconocool Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 The offensive line looked great. I was antipicating they would fall apart against Jones and Watt, but the coachs must have harped on them severely so they looked really good. I was expecting Dantzler to look good this year, but apparently he looked terrible this offseason. He looked great this game. Osborn looks like a legit third speed option. Vigil looked good on a couple of plays, but terrible on others. I think Barr is still better than him, but he will succeed him well next year. Special Teams--- Blah. I don't blame Peterson for the first touchdown. Kyler made that happen with all that extra time, but I don't know how much accountability falls on his lap for the second one. I think the team gets blasted this week again, but they pull out a win when Seattle comes as they have been scratching to get that team at home.

cconocool Posted September 19, 2021 Author Share Posted September 19, 2021 I was contemplating foreign kickers before. They don't feel quite the same pressure as American kickers as it is not their game. A bit of a psychology thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Zimmer needs to be gone. There’s no defending him any more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrplChilPill Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Disappointing for sure. No idea what to think of this team.... They were in position to win both games, but lost both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both games were winnable, the team didn't execute. It is not a death sentence to go 0-2 on the road to start the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babababa Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Should have signed Matt Prater. The final possession was set up for that relatively easy 37 yarder. The Cardinals offense is legit. It's very hard to deal with Murray. I thought they should have spied him better in the 1st half. Otherwise how do you stop some of the plays he made? Peterson has looked good. Breeland has not. Outside of a few things the offensive line really turned it around this week. Cousins has played great most of the time. It seems this team is cursed at the moment. Some of it is self inflicted. Some of it is bad luck. Some of it is bad calls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoDakViking Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Dantzler should start over Breeland Cook looked great at times but still got stuffed a couple times. Pass rush looked pretty good at times but it's tough with a QB like Kyler. Have to keep hi I'm in the pocket amd collapse it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 (edited) On a positive, after a week of thinking Jones and Watt would break Derrick Thomas’ single game sack record, the Vikings o-line stepped up to the challenge and played fantastic.

vikesfan89 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 If Beebe and Johnson were healthy, would Osborn be playing much? Disappointing loss that will be hard to come back from. It was nice that they looked much more ready to play early on but they have to figure out how to finish games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFeist Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 John Harbaugh shows, once again, that playing aggressively, and playing to win actually leads to wins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I think the most disheartening aspect of the start to this season, is that for 3 years we’ve been asking/looking for Cousins to be that quarterback who steps up and delivers in crucial moments, and at the end of the game. And in back to back weeks, Cousins has done exactly that. Yet, we still are 0-2 instead of 2-0. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 The missed kicks didn't help but this one is on coaching. I expect myself to be saying that quite often this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 On AJ Greene's touchdown, Breeland was horribly, HORRIBLY out of position. I am hoping that his soft coverage was on him and not by design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
