Post game and what needs to be done going forward.

I think our free agents on the dline McClain and McGee have been major disappointments.

Why not just spend that money on a much better, bigger impact player like Calais Campbell?

Terrible signings with little impact

Could have gotten a solid option Nose Tackle.

It was a classic let down game and let’s face it the Vikings are solid. On to New Orleans, hope we can get healthier that’s the big key.

Vikings looked every bit of a 6-2 team coming off a bye.

Tip the cap to Case Keenum and the offense for being able to run and execute a playbook.

What needs to be done?

Figure out how to stop the Saints running attack and take your chances with the secondary vs Drew Brees.

Or injure Drew Brees.

Just hyper focus on next week. Win in the Superdome and that door stays cracked open.

Prior to yesterday, I would have said, "Bring on the Saints!", but KEENUM looked like Brees yesterday. Will we get Matt Ionniinininininnidis back?

PLAYCALLING IS GARBAGE BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL, IF COUSINS MAKES A FEW OF THOSE THROWS ON TARGET IT MIGHT MEAN 7 NOT 3 - whats with kicking the fg on the second trip downfield at the end of the game but not the first? - I understand 4th and 25 is hard... but if your gonna take points just KEEP taking points... or i was just drunk and gruden made the right call, but, i doubt it.

Mayfield is the kind of draft pick that will get a coach and GM fired. But he sure looks like a #1 pick in the draft. He looks like a polished NFL ready QB. Was really impressed with the way he was moving the db's around with his eyes and pumps against TCU. He was dropping in dimes. But he has been arrested before....

I REALLY had to scratch my head when Perine was actually running with decisiveness and vision and we decide to run a guy who is 180 lbs. right up the middle.

That was absolutely terrible and if i am not mistaken we gave it to him again the next play on a toss sweep. Terrible.

Well at the time they were in hurry up so I assume they wanted to leave CT in there. I really didn't have a problem with the call. It was the execution. Shereff got blown up, he's obviously out there playing hurt and it showed. I assume all the of people bitching about the call would think CT can get a god damn yard. He couldn't cause the blocking was shit.

skinsfan69 · 11-13-2017, 02:36 PM

I don't even know any other RB's on the roster after Perine and CT. Kelley will probably be out for a while so I assume they're going to sign someone? They've really fucked up this RB thing. I keep going back to Morris. If you were going to replace him then you better bring in someone better. So far I just haven't seen that.

Does make you think, why not? Yes, we needed to get out of the deal of signing players who were beyond their prime, but Peterson can still play at a high level.

Idk nothing about AZ's o-line, but Peterson had 21 carries for 29 yards. Seahawks have a good d but that's pretty terrible. Other than his first game there he hasn't impressed either.
