Vikings vs. Falcons: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

Post by YikesVikes »

No words.....

The Good: Jefferson and many in our youth movement are looking promising. Kendricks is on this list every week. The kid Davis had a hell of a play at LB. Cleaveland looks better than everyone we have had at that position in 4 years. We are still in the Trevor Olympics

The Bad: Losing seems to divide this fanbase and I hope we don't start to fracture. Dantzler has to learn to play the ball but he is usually in position. Kirk has to trust his WRs in 1 on 1.

The Ugly: Kirk's first Int. You pick the rest.

Good: This could be the game that finally opens eyes to do what we need to do, which is clean house.

Bad: Our cap situation the next 2 years

Ugly: The entire front office

Vikings lost to the winless Bills at home 2 years ago and they did not clean house so do not hold your breath on it, I will be surprised if Wilfs fire Speilman and Zimmer since Wilfs loves them to give them 3 year extensions :wallbang:

A breakdown of tape by the Tribune. The title makes it seem like they're putting it all on Cousins but they talk at length about the line as well.

I agree with most of it except the Mattison play. The defender has the outside leverage on Cleveland and Mattison has no choice but to cut inside. If he tries to bounce outside, that's going to be a big loss. Moreover, O'Neill does very little on this play. He doesn't help with #93 and then proceeds to lose his balance against the LB. He literally plays two hand touch with two defenders.

The good: Jefferson

The bad: Defense continues to look horrible in pass coverage.

The ugly: Obviously Kirk but also the failure of the offensive line to allow Mattison to get anything going. For an offense built on the run game they sure don't do it very well at times.
