- The Seahawks knew Cousins couldn't beat them so they wanted Wilson to play extra safe in this game. Which he did save for 1 play which I will get to later.
- The Vikings stayed in a 2 high shell for most of the game, they were not going to let Wilson beat them deep. The Seahawks obliged by running it down their throats.
- I was Surprised by the lack of Vannett & Dickson, and the WRs lack of use in the middle of the field. That area of the field was open a lot. Again this goes back to not wanting to risk a turnover probably. But if they ran a TE down the Seam every once in a while, and some crossers, they could have made some plays on the Vikes in the pass game.
- Baldwin was definitely missed in this game. I hope he can come back soon.
- It was good to here the noise return to the stadium. It hadn't been that loud in a couple of years.
- The young secondary played very well tonight, much better than I had expected. Flowers & Griffin both deserve a game ball for their performance tonight. Coleman is one of the best nicklebacks in football, and he always plays great btw.
- Bobby Wagner blocked a kick and it is legal if they don't call it. But he got away with one there.
- Poona Ford & the D-Line really played great I think, you have to do film review to really get a guage of how well they played, but since Poona has been inserted into the lineup the run defense has improved tremendously. I don't think that is a coincidence.
- Any hint of pressure and Cousins folds like a lawn chair. I would be pissed if I were a Vikings fan.
- Flip (Vikes OC) looked like he wanted to cry towards the end of the game when the cameras were on him. He is definitely getting fired real soon.
- Carson was an animal running physical and tough while still displaying his raw athletism when he got out on the edge. One of the most underrated players in football. Penny came in and provided some big plays with his amazing feet, and vision. But I would like to note he did run it up inside there a couple of times keeping good pad level and falling forward, that is a good sign and shows he is progressing.
- The O-Line played really well, and it feels good knowing you can hang your hat on the fact they are a group you can rely on game in and game out.
- Russ turned on the jets for that 45 yard run, I am glad he still has that in his back pocket when he needs it.
- Now the sequence that led to the INT. Russ hit Moore for the TD on a perfectly thrown deep ball, but Moore didn't drag his 2nd foot so it was incomplete. The INT becomes a non factor if that happens, I also think the offense loosens up a little more and the route of the Vikings is on.
They didn't manage the clock well there at the end of the half, they should of gotten the play in earlier previous so they then would've had about 20 secs more to play with. The play that was called was designed to fail before it was snapped. They had a bunch of Receivers jumbled up in one corner of the endzone. Russ should've continued to roll to his right and throw it out of the back of the endzone, the play was DOA. Russ tried to make a play, he slipped, and disaster happened.
- Good win, they are pretty much in full command of the 5 seed, and I see a team that is getting better every week.
