    I mean I get it. As a MLB player he’s been pretty unimpressive. However the Twins largely don’t field MLB players so on this team, he’s basically elite.

    Also the last TD drive in the 4th quarter. That late game drive was most encouraging to me since it wasn't scripted all week in practice. Compare that to the chaos that occurred in the final drive when they were forced to push it deep and to the sidelines. I think they can make the quick read passes work. The biggest obstacle is that this kind of play style lends itself to lots of screen passes, something this franchise has not been able to do since KOC took over. I really don't think the pulling lineman know who to block, they just stand around often facing the wrong direction.

    The Eagles will be dancing on his tattered corpse.

    Right, Wentz could be better than McCarthy, but it doesn't matter. Have to keep trying the young guy, and if he doesn't show what we need to see, you try again in the draft in the next couple years.

    He ran for 40 yards and got chased down by a LB and then didn't even try to get out of bounds. I gotta put that all on Addison.
  6. nicksaviking
    How did Addison get chased down by a line backer?

    I love Mike Tomlin. But I'd never want him coaching my team. He's way too old school conservative.
  8. nicksaviking
    It was, but I was coming here to ask, 'Why did he have to make that so difficult?!' It sure didn't look like he HAD to be standing at the last centimeter of the end zone.
  9. nicksaviking
    I have to say, that drive looks like they made some adjustments. Wentz still had no time, but the reads were way quicker. Not sure if it was the play calling or the QB but I'd guess more of the first. This game is over, but if they can do quick reads and releases they can still win some games.

    Pumpkin pie filling. I don't think he's leaving Ireland alive. Unless the Vikings want McCarthy knocked out long term, they better start grabbing QBs off of other teams' practice squads to use as tackling dummies the rest of the year. This O-Line is going to be injuring them all season long.

    Ha, my fantasy teams do WAAAAY better than my favorite real team.
  12. nicksaviking
    I don't like the OL coach. Lineman also have no idea what they're doing out in space. This team has to be the worst at running screen passes; the big guys seem to never know where to be or who to block.
  13. nicksaviking
    Stupid fantasy apps spoiling the game. My streaming is at least two plays behind.
  14. nicksaviking
    Yeah, I want to be mad at somebody, but hard to point any fingers. The front office went all in trying to fix the OL. And you can't expect three back ups to be good enough to win. Otherwise they wouldn't be backups.
  15. nicksaviking
    Right through Addison hands.
  16. nicksaviking
    So far the Oline seems to be getting beat on stunts and delayed blitzs. Seems that’s likely to be more of a product of a smart defensive mind as much as it is talented players.
  17. nicksaviking
    I was so excited about the fixed OL. So frustrating, how do other teams keep that unit healthy?
  18. nicksaviking
    Yeah, JJ gets out of bounds at the 5 otherwise.
  19. nicksaviking
    Scott used to be a wide receiver?
  20. nicksaviking
    Weird how it somehow feels like the Steelers should be up three scores but also the Vikings haven't really played that poorly.
  21. nicksaviking
    What the hell
  22. nicksaviking
    It’s a nicksaviking original.
  23. nicksaviking
    Man, Pace in coverage is like a horse riding a bike. They have to find another option.
  24. nicksaviking
    Darrisaw is back and the Steelers right side edge, Alex Highsmith, is out. I think if the Vikings keep a TE or double TJ Watt, they'll do pretty well moving the ball down the field, even if they have to dink and dunk. Though committing to dinking and dunking is big ask for the Vikings. Last game Wentz's biggest criticisms would have been the two sacks he held on to the ball too long. But that might have been a fantastic omen actually. In the past Wentz's issue has been trying to be a hero on every play. Most seasons he didn't even throw that many INTs but the ones he did were absolutely back breakers. If he's matured and will take a sack instead of throwing it into double coverage, I think he can game manage this club quite a way. Ok, so then the Devil's Advocate take. Wentz has been the last QB to sign the last three years hoping (delusionally) that he'd land a starting gig for a team that found themselves in need. This is Aaron Rodgers last season; Carson Fing Wentz better in no way be looking at this game as an audition for the Steelers next year. Nor the Browns next week. Just play ball, don't try to do too much thinking about your next gig. If he follows the script and the Vikings win the games he starts, he may finally get his wish; if he tries to play Rambo, it will almost certainly backfire.

    There was one fantasy football nerd that was ringing the alarm bells for him pre draft. Basically the issue this guy had (don't recall who), was that while Harrison was productive, he wasn’t a good separator. He compared him to George Pickens. They can make amazing catches, but can’t make space from the defender so they get no YAC and have plenty of targets get knocked down or defended. I think that guy nailed it.
