Vikings @ Falcons Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 12

[Laserman]

Dink and dunk offense has been plaguing this team ever since Favre left.

Man you Hit the Nail on the head there. NO downfield passing since Chilly arrived

[mossbutt]

Zimmer needs to get blood vein popping mad. Snot coming out his nose. Curse words flying, spittle spraying pissed.

[Mothman]

Even with weak pass protection, you can throw a quick slant to a playmaker like Diggs, or Wallace, or Jarius Wright, instead of 2 yard sideline passes with zero YAC potential. We had the timeouts to throw to the middle, while they protect the sideline routes.

You can also adjust protection.

Or roll Teddy out, away from Clemmings's side.

[The Breeze]

you guys crack me up. Clemmings completely whiffed three plays in a row and you want the OC to throw down the field. You guys are clueless.

agreed
i don't know what Norv was to do with that.

Maybe a screen pass?

Is someone else calling the plays?

[Hunter Morrow]

This game I believe should probably be at least 10-0.

Now the home team gets the ball back and is one Julio Jones play on an injury riddled secondary from having the lead. Great.

Norv sees Clemmings is having a hard time, yet again. He has to put a TE over there. Give Teddy at leasy a second where he knows he wont be hit. You cant throw the 1 second passes every time. Get the waste of Space Wallace out of there and let CP (or Wright) stretch the field. At least they wont keep trying to run over the defender. teddy needs to work on the deep ball, even i can see that. But he literally has no time. What do you want him to do?

[soflavike]

check, did that.

Oh, yeah... we must have missed those slants, screens and rollouts on that last drive.

[S197]

While I'm glad they're up at halftime on the road, and I love this defense, you're not going to hold a top 10 offense down for long. The misdirection plays were working and they can continue to utilize those but honestly we're dead in the water if Diggs is the only receiver that can be reliably counted on. At some point, you need to switch up the personnel no matter how much you paid for a guy to be here.

[The Breeze]

dunno...but Clemmings is a huge liability...he sucks and should be on the bench
