vike daddy Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Thursday Night Football for Week 2 Thursday, Sept 14 7:15 pm CST Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia O'Connell: "Whether we won or lost today, this was still going to be a heck of a challenge. And now that we didn't get it done today, we just have to have that much more urgency, that much more detail. Everybody's got to look inward, and we gotta persevere together. This is not our first time dealing with adversity, and my hope is we'll circle back on some of that experience and play our best possible game we can play Thursday night." Minnesota has opened as a 7.5-point underdog. @swede700 is out of town and asked me to start a GDT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikeManDan Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Perhaps it is a Tampa Bay hangover but I don't have a ton of faith we'll pull this out. I hope to be proven wrong. Will Bradbury and Davenport be back? I am excited/curious to see how Flores will game plan for a mobile QB which has historically given us issues. Our final two drives started with negative plays on a TE screen, that package needs to be seriously worked on and probably scrapped until they figure it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 I don’t have much hope for this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Relax Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 I thought the Eagles appeared more like Clark Kents than Supermen against Mac Jones and the Patriots. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithVikings28 Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 I feel like this is going to determine the course of the season. This is a must win game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 (edited) The Vikings need to bench Ingram and play Brandel in his place. Ideally, we see them sign Risner, and give him the extended days after the Eagles game to get up to speed.

CriminalMind Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 I think we unfortunately get blown out by the tape. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll have our hands full with Cox, Carter, and Davis on the interior no doubt. Hopefully the OL can buy Kirk enough time to find our playmakers.

babababa Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Darius Slay is playing right? Right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDBrocks Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Just now, babababa said: Darius Slay is playing right? Right. Lol. Captioning a video "shutdown" with a glaring DPI as the cover image is so funny. He definitely shut him down, just a funny observation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted September 11 Author Share Posted September 11 PHI 25 NE 20 Eagles' offense looks rusty to open the season: Perhaps it's simply the product of facing a good Bill Belichick defense, with horses up front and months to prepare, but Philly's offense looked like a shell of what we saw last season. The Eagles couldn't punch it in outside of a short-field TD, settling for four field goals. Jalen Hurts rarely took deep shots, with only one Eagles pass play going for more than 15 yards. The ground game was stymied (3.9 yards per attempt on 25 carries), and Hurts flubbed what could have been a game-changing fumble late in the contest. Philly finished with 251 total yards and 17 first downs. The Eagles went 4 for 13 on third-down conversions and 0 for 1 on fourth down. Just two drives made it to the red zone (first two of the game). The lack of chunk plays and the consistent pressure on Hurts behind one of the best O-lines in the NFL were not what we'd grown accustomed to seeing. Next Gen stat of the game: The Patriots held Jalen Hurts to a 33.3% success rate on nine carries (28 yards, +6 rushing yards over expected on five designed runs; 10 yards, -2 RYOE on 3 scrambles) after allowing 6.1 yards per attempt on designed QB runs last season (28th). https://www.nfl.com/news/2023-nfl-season-week-1-what-we-learned-from-sunday-s-games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard otherwise but last I looked we have more than 1 WR just like the Eagles have more than 1 CB. Edited September 11 by VikeManDan Changed one CB to 1 CB to match WR statement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
