Vikings GB Recap

Packer fan at work said that the Packers didn’t win the game, that the Vikings lost it

Game started - GB score - MN missed FG - GB score short field - MIN Fumble - GB score from 33 out

Fan Question 1:

“Was the 21-0 start more the Packers offense or our defense?”It was a combination of all three phases. Defense was playing GB’s WRs wrong, and giving GB short fields on two back to back possessions hurt 

Special Teams Mishaps

Missed FG / Blocked XP

Bobbled Returns

REALLY long XP attempt due to dumb penalty

Is Dan Bailey the best option?

Defensive Downturn

ROUGH first quarter

Playing way to soft on Devante Adams

Blink - Down by 21

Fan question 2:

“How much would have Alexander and Gideon helped in the defensive lapse 1st Quarter?? Thoughts on Meaders and Boyd when our CBs are depleted…”Ben Gedeon less so, although I think we have an easier time stopping the running attack with him.

Mackenzie Alexander’s loss was felt, although I don’t think it was largely detrimental. Jayron Kearse can totally play well in the slot, we just weren’t scheming correctly for what GB was doing

Shutting down GB the final 3 quarters tells me it wasn’t personnel that was responsible, rather calls and scheme

Jayron Kearse and Eric Wilson posted highest defensive grades of the team with 90.6 and 85.4 respectively

Xavier Rhodes isn’t back

Hercules Mafa’ata shines

Erik Kendricks puts on a clinic

Baffling Offense

Dalvin Cook was eating all day

Josh Kline and Brian O’Neill best grades of offense line grades

Garrett Bradbury again struggled

Gooseeggs off Turnovers

Refs were especially horrid

There is never *that* much offensive PI

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAD Kirk Cousins

Several fumbles, interceptions

WHY ARE YOU THROWING THAT? PASS LIVE TO PLAY ANOTHER DOWN JESUS EFFING CHRIST

Chad Beebe is clearly WR3 at this point

Fan question 3:

“Why did the broadcast call beebe a speedster?”He’s shown quickness clearly with his returns, and with the splash play he had on offense turning it upfield. I don’t think he’s super fast, just squirrelly.

In large part, the Vikings beat themselves. Gave up turnovers, failed on special teams, and gave up too much on defense to start the game

Raiders are a team that is really really beatable, and you have to win those games to have a chance. GB isn’t a soft target, and this division WILL be the toughest in the NFL this year
