Just watched the whole game at work. My first thoughts were the hell with all the penalties. My second thoughts are our defence is possibly overrated. The interception was only a result of a bad throw and I don't know how great an o line the rams have but there was barely any pressure on Stafford.
I think this is a game where you have to say "well played" to the opposition. We didn't do anything particularly wrong but they were just better in this game. The thing that concerns me most is the injury to Darrisaw because he is bloody good and Quessenberry is ****. It certainly didn't help Darnold.
Yeah obvious now that they don’t have the players on that side off the ball to have any chance in the playoffs (if they get there). Still have a pretty easy run over the next 6 games or so which will be make it break, need to be going 4-2 at least if they want to make the playoffs. Obviously doesn’t help that the rest of the NFC North is so strong
Also second game in a row where they’ve generated zero pressure on the QB. The Rams had a bad O line out last night with a couple of rookies including an UDFA on it and they couldn’t get to Stafford. The Colts have one of the best O lines in the league so can see that trend continuing
That may be true but Richardson is a completely different type of QB to Stafford. Stafford tends to stay in the pocket whereas Richardson will use his legs more. That may make it easier to get to him.
In obvious and true Vikings fashion, Darrisaw is out for the season. Think that might mean they don’t even get into the playoffs tbh. Darnold getting pressured a lot would be a disaster
Good luck with that, they are a very rare breed and get paid an extortionate amount (think they are second highest paid position on average after QB). Nobody is giving up a good or even decent one. Plus Darrisaw is one of the better ones in the league, what do you do when he comes back and have two. The team isn’t good enough to win a Super Bowl so I don’t see the point in sacrificing the future, for a team with one of the oldest rosters in the league, to get someone in now. They might be able to find someone better than Quessenberry but the fact he has been in the league for what feels like forever shows how rare decent LT are considering how **** he is
True. I guess the other option is improving the defence and getting a CB in. Could definitely do with upgrading on Murphy. And we could get a good one in and extend him.
