Was the best game they've played all year. Some bad luck and some just incredibly stupid coaching and bad timing they almost ****** it away. But they didn't. They won.
Initial Thoughts on viking game
- Thread starter CoolieMan
- Start date
Kenneth ******’ Gainwell. Was not that excited when signed. Color me convinced! Nick Herbig has game. Secondary much improved. Tomlin still lives in his fears and constantly blinks his attached eyelids. International games are bullshit. Do you season ticket holders get a discount? Attention coaches: we traded for DK and gave him 150 million. Use him for the whole game.
up until Tomlin called the play for the defenders to ignore the WR running down the sideline...the defense played well

Good to see the rookie get a few carries today. Shocked really with his pass blocking deficiency.

Tomlin taking a delay of game instead of trying to get a foot to end the game would have been his worst call of all time had we lost the game. So ******* stupid.

What a play by Wilson to track him down for the tackle though.
I thought Wilson played his best game of the season. Really showed off his speed well.

He doesn’t block well and really isn’t a big part of the passing game so far.
That second contract not looking so good thus far.
love hustle plays like that
he earned a little good will going forward with that play

He wasn’t the only one either. Broderick hustled and recovered the AAron fumble. I immediately thought of that Wilson fumble last year this year with a different outcome.

Elliot performed a solid jig today..
3-1, never a losing season, greatest coach everrrrrr......
International games are stupid
Mike Tomlin is the modern day Schottenhiemer...
Early games get me drunk.
**** the ravens... hope they lose out starting tonight.
Early bye weeks suck, but we need it.
If CA3 is out Roman Wilson better be great
We need the DBs to get healthy fast
After the bye, We play the Clowns then Burrow-less bungles next two games... gotta win them both.
Newsflash to coaching staff... dont take the foot off the gas in the 4th

how hard will it be to replace 1 or2 catches a game?

These are the types of games Tomlin has made his living on over 18 years squeaking by.

Always love to stack wins, but the seeming overreliance on turnovers won’t work in the playoffs. Still plenty of time to get better, though, and we’re alone in first.
Well Roman Wilson, Scott Miller got zip. Skoronek is SP. Ace. Muth is MIA. Jonuh gets one or two passes a game. Sooooooooo Id say noy very easy.

Wilson or Miller should be fine replacing Austin's 2.5 receptions per game.

It's funny that we all wanted to see Warren get the bulk of the carries, a real RB1 workload, but they insisted on using Gainwell. Now that Warren is out, they give Gainwell 25 touches. I get it that they don't trust Kaleb yet, but it was still odd to see such a heavy workload for 1 RB. Seems they just don't want Warren having that many touches.
Great adjustments by Arthur Smith. He saw the OL is still not getting it done so he used Spencer Anderson a bunch as a 6th OL along with Washington and Heyward as the main TEs. Jonuu and Freiermuth barely played. The OL played better BUT they also got tons of help. I'm not sure that gameplan will work every week because teams will be more ready for it now.
The defense looked much better, BUT the vikes OL is in shambles. They were able to get quick pressure. This defense is always good when the pass rush gets home. It's a positive step but what happens when they face a good OL?
Did the light come on for Wilson at LB? Let's hope so.
Harmon is already making a difference. Benton's job is much easier when the OL has to worry about Watt and Herbig outside then Heyward and Harmon inside. Can't block everybody.
Herbig is a better pass rusher than Highsmith, but Highsmith plays the run much better, They'll need Highsmith vs run teams.
They're 3-1 and you can't ask for more heading into the bye. It's a huge positive to go into the bye off a great performance.
The defense is getting back on track as it gets healthy.
The offense is at least functional even with the subpar OL play because Rodgers can read everything so quickly. If this OL improves to the point where they don't need to keep in extra blockers, it could actually become explosive.
The Steelers can be a factor this year. They may win the division by default if the wheels keep falling off Balt.

They had to capitalize with the early schedule and were in position to be 5-1 after the first six games, at worst 4-2. They're still on track.

James Pierre off the bench played great.
Gainwell and the XXXtra Oline blocking was nice to see.
Lack of penalties was really refreshing.

With a leaky defense that gave up 350 yds passing to Weintz and some guy named Gainwell 5 foot nothing is leading the team in passing targets and rushing attempts this team isn’t going very far. We stink no getting away from I don’t what our record is we stink!
