Skins-Vikings post game

I feel like we forget about that fumble... That was also a killer in the first half. It's not all on the D. They only gave up 2 drives.

Its all about momentum and sometimes when you feel pressure and over exert you can make a mistake. I think this stuff plays into fumble play.

Per Profootball Focus yesterday:


"Kelley added seven missed tackles and 73 yards after contact"

basically he needs more work...73 yard after contact has to be close to the top this week for a RB

Thanks !

I also think he had a great vision and good patience.

Well next week we play arguably the worst defense we've seen (not counting cle) so let's hope we run it more and more

i thought we played GB next week? Maybe their pass defense is suspect, by after week 10 (minus tonight's game) they are still 5th in rushing defense. Game plan will include more passing this time i thing. Source (ESPN) (http://www.espn.com/nfl/statistics/team/_/stat/rushing/position/defense)

I think we need to get Fat Rob going early and often. The 2nd quarter scoring run that the Vikings had, started when for some reason we threw the ball 3 times and went 3 and out. I don't know why we did that, given the Kelley was running well.

Garzon had a hell of a great game. That guy was making catches all over the field.

Remember against Cinci we went to him the first play after Dalton fumbled at the 50, we had the ball with one minute to go. They threw to Garcon on the slant where they flagged him for the phantom push off on Pacman Jones. It would have taken the Skins within field goal range.

Yesterday while 23-20 we're driving with 3 minutes left, trying to get into FG range, and we hit Garcon a couple times on that drive.

You can tell the coaching staff and Cousins treat him as the clutch, big-moment, we-have-to-get-a-first-down receiver.

Looking more and more like it makes sense to let Jackson go and keep Pierre. I love the guy.

I know the Red Zone scoring is an issue and coming away with four FG's is never a good plan. BUT ...

This was (and still is) the number one scoring defense in the league. The 26 points we scored against them was the most scored against them all year. (In their first five games no team broke 20 pts.; in their three prior losses Philly got 21; Bears got 20; Detroit got 22).

Also, we only started with a "short field" once the entire game - after P. Smith's Int. Even then, we took over at our own 42. We did not start a drive in their territory all game.

Here are our possessions:

Starting Field Position: Wash. 32 -- TD
SFP: W8 (TD)
SFP - W21 (Punt); Three Plays; 0 yards.
SFP - W22 (Punt); 4 / 12
SFP - W25 (Fumble); 1 / 7
HALF
SFP - W33 (FG); 12 / 55
SFP - W32 (FG); 11 / 49
SFP - W8 (FG); 7 / 60
SFP - W42 (FG); 8 / 32
Last Possession - Kneel down.

Sure - we need to punch in TD's. BUT ... getting four solid, point-producing, second half drives against this D is nothing to entirely disparage.

"ewwwwwWeeeee" ??

No. ... Just. No.

Minnesota's leading rusher (McKinnon) had 16 yards on six carries. As a team, they had 47 rushing yards. Eleven of those yards were by a WR on an end around - so 36 yards from your RB's.

I know their running game sucked going in to the game, but those are ridiculously bad numbers.

Im so impressed with the defense...Say what you will, but Ive been way more impressed with the defense than the offense this year. Less talent on that side of the ball...The offense seems so erratic, turnovers in the red zone, lack of scoring touchdowns the in red zone, the lack of offense balance, etc.
