2018 Vikings In Season Thread

[Mr. Brooks]

Barr absolutely posterized again.

 

I don't understand how he went from asset to liability like he has.

[Mike Sixel]

Barr stinks. what happened to him?

[Mr. Brooks]

Barr strikes again.

 

This guy is a massive liability. They can't keep putting him out there.

[Mike Sixel]

How does Rudolph get open, while running in cement?

 

What a touchdown throw!

[ashbury]

Fortunately they are scoring some points. They may need to continue that.

[Mr. Brooks]

Not the first time Rhodes has cost them by letting his emotions get the best of him.

[Mr. Brooks]

This is 6 straight games of mediocre to awful for this defense.

How many does that streak have to reach before we acknowledge that it's just not a good defense anymore?

[Mr. Brooks]

Zimmer's clock management is atrocious.

I think the Bills and Josh Allen already told you.

 

Side note, just landed, and see the Barr is continuing where he left off. It was a good run boys. Can't win with terrible lbs and oline. Try next year I guess.

I already came to that conclusion.

But everyone keeps telling me this is still a good defense. I'm trying to figure out why.

[Mike Sixel]

Terrible might be the right word

[Vanimal46]

The only silver lining is Hunter.

[Mike Sixel]

Uh. How did they pick that flag up?

[Mr. Brooks]

Trifecta for Barr.

No excuse for continuing to put him out there.

[Mike Sixel]

Zimmer being badly out coached. Two of those were Barr covering aWR.

[Vanimal46]

Exactly. He already got torched once not sure why he's out there trying to cover one again.

[TheLeviathan]

This team shouldn't be losing when the offense is putting up 28 points.

 

Zimmer better use this mini-bye week to truly get things fixed.

[Mike Sixel]

The talent disparity looks really bad. And the Rams are down how many starters?

[Mike Sixel]

The defense hasn't been decent in five or six weeks, going back to last year.

[TheLeviathan]

I don't disagree.  But there is so much talent on that side of the ball, it should be better.  I have to think this is a schematic/coaching issue.

[Vanimal46]

Donald and Suh are running circles around our guards.

[Mr. Brooks]

Maybe it's time to replace Zimmer?

Before you laugh it off, keep in mind, the last 2 times (before last year) that the Vikings made the NFC Championship game, the head coach didn't survive the following season.

I can't laugh it off.  I'm not nearly there yet, but I also can't laugh it off.

[Mr. Brooks]

I'm a little confused why they signed George Iloka.

Has he even played, at all?

[Mike Sixel]

Almost all the early picks are defense. This is on the coach

Well, that especially rings true tonight.  Rather than having to keep Barr in there you could have an actual DB that is physical enough to play the run.  It seems like this would be the situation you'd see him, if ever.

 

So, yes, I'm also baffled.

[Mike Sixel]

Donald is the best defensive player in the game. No shame there.

Me too.

[Vanimal46]

At least Dan Bailey can kick!

[Mr. Brooks]

More bad clock management.

Zimmer lets 16 seconds run off the clock after the play, then calls time out.
