Divisional Round Saturday Game Thread

Thats a real run game

 

[reddyuta]

you can't believe that

its the truth,how many open guys did he throw to in this game? rarely do we see guys open in our scheme.

 

[BIGS87]

I’m not sure why we can’t do that with our OL unless it’s over hyped along with our RB?

With the amount of money spent on the OL we should be able to!

 

[Gaede]

It's ridiculous to say they aren't. Both throw the ball infinitely better than Dak.

Dak has more poise than Cousins, but not the tools.

Both of these guys rely on screens to their RBs and short passes to their TEs. Neither has shown the talent nor the willingness to throw it past 10 yards

I mean did you see Goff before he was saved by a good coach and great system? He was garbage.

So yes, I believe that. He gets the benefit of a system that lets his WRs get a ton of YAC. One of the best defenses in football. Great run game. A QB's dream. Not being asked to pass 35-40 times a game and having zero defense or special teams to lean on. Or any consistent run game. That is what he would have here. And a god awful coach.

We can... I seriously think our moron coaches for some time had them not pancaking people because they really thought it would be cute to try to hide if it was a pass or a run.
I feel like they ruined the running game for us.

vikings need a score this quarter or it's over

 

[Rockport]

do people wipe their memories clean after a game whenever he's the only guy on offense that looks absolutely pathetic?

Those games he played with a torn ligament in his throwing shoulder? You obviously wiped your memory of that.

bad goff made some of you believe our defense did something different this year when it's just the QB being bad.

 

[HungryLion]

Kirk needed to run that and just get the first.

 

[mattjames2010]

Why didn't he just use his legs for the first? What the hell are you doing?

 

[Blackspider214]

And just like that, Cousins comes back to earth and is the overrated QB he always has been.

 

[805BoysInBlue]

Cousins is an idiot

 

[CF74]

Street fight football...

 

[Diehardblues]

We did in 2016. And in Murray's big year, as well. I'm hoping the new OL coach will get them back to this.

Because our QB doesn’t make defenses keep from crowding the line.

 

[MikeB80]

nonsense. He is on the road against the leagues best defensive front which has eliminated his running game.

 

[Jake]

Because our QB doesn’t make defenses keep from crowding the line.

That's a myth if you look at stats vs 8 man boxes, and we had the same QB in 2016.

The vaunted offensive line has regressed.

[Diehardblues]

Saints would have given them a better game

 

[Diehardblues]

That's a myth if you look at stats vs 8 man boxes, and we had the same QB in 2016.

The vaunted offensive line has regressed.

Defenses eventually adjusted in 2016. By end of season they were crowding line.
