Vikings @ Seahawks Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 11

[J. Kapp 11]

Man, it is hard to watch the Vikings with this defense. It's truly embarrassing.

[Lash Man]

It is awful. Pathetic. Beyond the worst. Bama's defense is better than this one. LSU has a better defense.

Bamas defense is WAY better for sure !

[Just Me]

Now we get to see what Fraizer does best, halftime adjustments!

[Funkytown]

oh look a dangerous kickoff returner... let's just squib kick... Now there's a coach.

[VikingLord]

Defense's problem is coaching.

It's a LOT more than just coaching. Soft players who can't read what is happening in front of them, can't tackle, field THE worst CB in the NFL, have field one of the worst set of LBs in the league.

I don't think it mattered. It just saved SEA from using their last TO. The decision to throw to Webb was worse. Ponder just gave up on that play.

Ponder gives up on almost every play.

I just went out and burned my Harvin jersey at half-time.

I'm with you bro. Harvin is overrated by Vikings fan. He is indeed special with the ball in his hands, but aside from that he is not suitable to be a dependable WR as he cannot run routes and does not have a nose for the ball. Then there is his attitude...

Overrated? He was half our offense for the past few years.

[VikingLord]

why did Joe Webb go out of bounds on that 3rd down completion before the FG near the end of the half?

How much extra time did that leave for the Seahawks?

Stupid

That defines this team. Their collective IQ is less than Peyton Manning's would be my guess (including the coaches).

It all gets fixed with better execution!

[S197]

Rhodes and Sendejo is getting picked on quite a bit. The TD throw was perfect, I really don't think the defender could have done much but I expect them to keep attacking that side. Sendejo doesn't cover the edge very well and Rhodes is letting the receivers get behind him too easily.

[mondry]

Well, more of the same with this team, same predictable playcalling, same poor pass blocking, major flaws in coaching on both sides of the ball already. At this point it's hard to describe how I feel about this team. I don't want them to lose, I just know they aren't going to win due to all of these massive flaws. I'm hoping we do bad enough to fire the entire coaching staff and GM, if that were to happen it'd be a successful season in my book and a big step in the right direction.

He was so stunned that Ponder actually threw him the ball, he didn't know what to do. I'm trying to figure out why they told Webb to camp out next to the sideline right on the line of scrimmage on 3rd and 16. ???

[VikingLord]

Ponder gives up on almost every play.

That's the real question - why even make that throw? Any throw in that situation could be incomplete, which would stop the clock, so if you're not throwing to the sticks, don't throw at all. Slide and make them use another TO.

Webb should have stayed in bounds, but Ponder should never have thrown a crap valve in that situation in the 1st place.

How Ponder can be so dumb on the field when he's apparently so smart off it is beyond comprehension.

[soflavike]

Seahawks to take the kick in the 2nd half and I'm sure Harvin will be back there, better kick it out of the stadium.

Yup... and if we kick it to him, we're nuts.
