NFL MNF: Vikings vs Rams (2 Viewers)

[MikeyF]

You could tell by the end of the game that the HC/OC by his facial expressions was blaming Darnold for the loss...

As I watched the game I was blaming the HC/OC more for the loss.
Darnold has a history going back to the Jets of holding onto the ball too long.
The Rams were bringing it last night & the OC kept calling these long developing plays!
I watched Hockenson let a blitzer blow by him & he continued on a fly or corner route when he should have broken it off for his QB.

It starts with your OL... You can't get the ball to your difference-makers or play-makers without time.
It doesn't matter even when you have a WR like Justin Jefferson, a TE like TJ Hockenson, or a RB like Aaron Jones all on your team.

Knew the Vikings were gonna lose. Rams are a hot team, hard to defend. They started running the football a lot better near the end of the season.

I was impressed with their DL, OLB J. Verse, and the play of S Quentin Lake.
Their pressure by multiple players & coverage shut down a very good Viking offense loaded with top NFL talent.

Vikings are perennial chokers - you love to see it - but also credit the Rams for drafting a lot of good young defenders. Must be nice.

I believe they give Philly a good game. If their defense can contain Barkley ( A tall order I know ) they may pull off
an upset. The Rams offense is clicking on all cylinders now

They played with a lot of juice last night.
We will have to see if they can continue that emotional play in Philly...
