OL may not have been dominant but they did their job

Which is shocking considering what we all feared.

Maybe that changes next week but for now, they kept Sam upright more often than not.

Sam just has to do a better job being more accurate in the redzone.

 

If they continue to play this way, I like our chances going forward.

That was cool as fug to watch.  

Shows just how much this team likes Sam. 

Was that Sam who said : "Okay...Family on 3.  1...2...3....FAMILY!"

 

 

BTW, there should be more than one Game Ball, right?

1. This team will go as far as CMC can take them.  All other factors cancel out and fade into the background. The ONLY real difference between these teams was that we have a RB who can get nearly 100 yds receiving and running on any given day. Best player on the field by far and the determining factor in this win.

If this team has even a glimmer of hope to win more games than we lose, he’s going to have to do that 10 more times at least.

2. Our entire DL is going to cause problems for teams all year, that means putting opponents in bad down and distance situations and lots of sacks.

Not sure why we didn’t see the same kind of intensity in the 2nd half on D.  Perhaps the Jets made adjustments.  

If I had to single out one player, it would be Brown.  Loved how Shaq played, too.

Another honorable mention is Horn. Besides that one TD near the end he shut his man down and even that play he almost got his hand on it. Excellent rookie first game at a position where rookies are known to struggle. He was a supposed to be a weakness and he wasn't. He looked very promising. 

That's actually true.

We never heard about Horn aside from that TD grab by Davis which means he was doing a good job for his first professional game.

    • Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
    • They might be ass but it’s the professional level like NFL!! I will take a win no matter what!! Still not over
    • So you are just going by what these analysts are saying. So if come draft time they say Ward/Sanders is worth pick 1 you should be good. The future draft QB class is always going to be projected as the next great thing until these young players start playing the game and scouts can see some flaws. Think of all of the high school phenoms that didn’t look as good in college.  If Manning does turn out to be the next great prospect only one team gets to draft him. Odds are someone else could get the top pick, especially if go all in on building a supporting roster. I’m never going to be a just wait another year guy, because there are so many variables. If our staff loves Ward/Sanders then we should just draft them with our pick. It’s as simple as that. I also might go with Hunter over TMac as WR1 in this class.  The roster has the OL to help a young QB, young weapons in Coker, XL, and JT to grow with a QB, and a RB who can catch in Brooks as a safety net for a young QB. Sign a vet WR, extend BC and our offense would be set outside of depth. Let our young offensive core go through their growing pains while we iron out the defense. It’s definitely a path forward.
