Non-Hockey Sports Thread VII

I don't understand why the Vikings seem to think that having a good offensive line is optional.

They don't. They just haven't been good at fixing it.

The Chiefs-Rams game was incredible. Maybe the most entertaining NFL game I've ever seen from a neutral perspective.

 

[123TripleDoge]

Loved that triple play action play, don't think ive seen that before.

Seems like Rams/Chiefs offense is a result of excellent play calling, whereas ours is skin of our teeth plays that require perfect passes or catches. Our offense always seems to be the most predictable and bland, even after factoring out the homer perspective.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I wonder how many TD passes Mahomes throws in 1995...

 

[Superlative Soup]

Vikings wins have been againt: 49ers, Jets, Lions, Eagles (win looked better at the time), Cards. Woof.

Season is basically on the line Sunday.

Yup. It ain't looking good right now.

 

[Ban Hammered]

Never invest hope in the Vikings.
Life is much easier.

So true. That goes for any Minnesota pro team. Well there is the Lynx I suppose

At the start of the football seasons this was looking to be an exciting weekend with GB/MN and UW/UM playing each other. Now it's just meh. UW is garbage (by their standards) and GB keeps finding ways to not even give themselves a chance to win games.

 

[SupremeNachos]

We got the Axe back. Not as exciting as I wanted it to be though.

 

[Digitalbooya]

What a great way to cap off a horrible regular season. First loss to the gophers in the last 15 games.

 

[chchelseII]

Kind of sad, the Gophers finally win the Axe and I couldn't care less.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Alexander just went right through Thielen lol. Dang.

 

[123TripleDoge]

Vikes embarrassing themselves already, didn’t take long

 

[Digitalbooya]

LOL that TD celly!

 

[Wabit]

That FG miss is on the holder.

 

[Wabit]

So GB must have some voodoo doll for MN kickers this season: 0-5 so far is absurd.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Hahahaha... 4th and inches and they can’t get it. Joke of an offense.

 

[Wild11MN]

Where is this Cousins every week? No brutal throws and not taking dumb sacks. It's almost like his pocket awareness jumped up this week.

 

[NHL1674]

Holding my breath right now......

 

[Wild11MN]

Torn hamstring? That would suck.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Good win.

 

[Digitalbooya]

One loss closer to a new head coach.

 

[melinko]

Vikings can't seem to get out of their own way. To only win by 7 after thoroughly dominating the game and winning the turnover battle is worrying.

We live and die by our offensive line. Having such difficulty running the ball damages our strong WR group once we get in/near the red-zone, which puts us in positions to rely on our suspect kicking team.

 

[57special]

Packers O line was toast once Baktiari went out...probably was hurt even before then, and less effective. Vikings D line started to dominate.

Not a believer in Cousins, or the O line. Thielen and Diggs are fantastic, though. It's like they are trying to outdo one another on catches and runs. Wonderful stuff.
