Go for it on 4th and goal from the 1 they said...
We've got a great defense if we don't get it they said...

Well, looks like we are about as good as a 2-10 team right now. Playing them even.

Im all seriousness, yes. They have repeatedly shown they cannot run for short yardage consistently this year. Normally, I agree you should run it. It just hasn't worked this year.Texas Vike wrote:
They needed a foot. Do you propose always throwing in such circumstances? In football, you have to be able to get 12 inches if you need it, when you need it.

I forgot what scoring a TD felt like.

Honestly, I think that is pretty accurate. We are 1-5 in our last 6 games. Until we get an OL and other players back from injury, we are the equivalent of a 2-10 team.

I get where you're coming from, but you just have to be able to get a foot when you need it.
Frustrating as hell. It doesn't help that Bradford can't do sneaks (apparently). Also, I thought Asiata got in on 3rd down, but the replay wasn't enough to overturn the call. It could have gone either way.

And the spot was way off on that play within inches, marked a half yard away.Texas Vike wrote:

I think he was in also but it was also was right not to overturn it. Just a frustrating play.Texas Vike wrote: I get where you're coming from, but you just have to be able to get a foot when you need it.

Re: Vikings @ Jaguars Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 14
Lol relax dude. Asiata is not a good RB. He wouldn't be a good RB behind Dallas' OL. Sorry I didn't list everything in proper order for you . Bottom line is everything was poor on that play which is what I was saying in that post. The fact that you're critiquing how I said it is pretty ridiculous if you ask meTexas Vike wrote:
You constantly lay the blame at Asiata's feet. Yes, you mention poor blocking here, but only after calling Asiata a bum and ending with "terrible RB".
Don't call me pal.

I noticed that too. Pretty annoying, since we challenged it and the refs had just watched the replay numerous times to see it was an inch short at most.

You constantly diss Asiata, but he's the least of our problems. It gets old.

15 yards rushing in the first half. That's bad...

Re: Vikings @ Jaguars Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 14
Asiata is a competent power back. That's not where the problem lies. You will recall that Adrian Peterson couldn't get past the line of scrimmage behind our OL, and that was before several injuries. Peterson doesn't suck.Pondering Her Percy wrote: Lol relax dude. Asiata is not a good RB. He wouldn't be a good RB behind Dallas' OL. Sorry I didn't list everything in proper order for you .

If the Vikings converted 4th and short this year, this season would be a different story.
Easy TDs if Bradford was more accurate on the passes to Thielen and Diggs.
