2018 regular season thread

[hermes]

football season is here! we can talk about the games and everything else in here

lets go vikes!

[Worm Guts]

Great pass to Diggs. Vikings look solid.

[Duke4life831]

Wayne's is getting picked on all game.

[Worm Guts]

Gift for Mike Hughes there after we lucked out with the big drop.

[Worm Guts]

Way too many TE's just running free for the 49ers.

[Sedale Threatt]

Line sucked. Gonna be an issue all season long. Game shouldn't have been that close.

D was f'ing fantastic against a pretty mediocre offense. Huge turnovers all game.

[Worm Guts]

I really didn't like the way the game ended. The last quarter the offense didn't do anything and the defense gave too many big plays in the 2nd half. The important thing is they got the win though, just keep getting better.

[Sedale Threatt]

lol, almost feel bad for the Packers. Almost.

Also, Mack is the real deal. Holy sh*t. Not gonna be fun dealing with him twice a year.

[hermes]

team looked pretty good (in the first half)

offense packed it in for the 4th quarter which isn't ideal, like to be able to close people out

harrison smith just makes big plays

cousins looked sharp, makes some great throws, in sync with diggs and thielen. and a lot of dalvin cook which is nice to see

I think right now the defense has 2 holes. We need one of Waynes/Hughes/Alexander to step up, we dont hear from Rhodes all game and that is pretty much expected now. But while ya Hughes had the pick 6, he also made a ton of mistakes. Waynes was getting picked on as well. We just need that 2nd CB to be solid and that will be huge. Also when we throw out 3 LBs, Gedeon is pretty weak out there. The majority of the game the other 9 guys on D make up for those 2 holes, but usually if there is a play made against our D, its usually happens against one of those 2 holes.

Offensively its the same weakness, bad O line play. I know its hard to do with bad O line play, but I would like to see a little more aggressive passing plays thrown in there more often.

waynes has been solid, i think he got banged up and missed some time last game (and with alexander already out) that forced hughes to play more - and since it was his first game some mistakes were expected i think. i think the big key is keeping everyone healthy in the secondary - there is depth but they are young and it takes some time to get through the zimmer defensive back instructional course

yeah the linebackers got burned quite a bit with the tight ends last game, kittle was running wide open a lot

[hermes]

elfein is back practicing but probably won't play today, but hopefully soon as he makes his way back. they might put him at guard i hear. could make sense, hasn't worked with cousins on snapping don't want to mess things up

[Worm Guts]

I think Waynes is an above average 2nd corner. The big issue we had last week was letting the TE run free, I don't know who's responsibility that is, maybe it's a scheme issue but it could have cost us the game.

[Sedale Threatt]

Great start. Getting a punt blocked in the NFL is just inexcusable. Should never, ever happen.

[Sedale Threatt]

Nice scheme by the Packers, too.

[Sedale Threatt]

Pass rush nonexistent on that drive.

[Worm Guts]

Defensive line is not doing it's job.

[Duke4life831]

Play calling on both sides of the ball has been so bland today.

[Sedale Threatt]

Defensive line is not doing it's job.

Nope. Last drive was much, much better. No excuse letting them run roughshod.

[Duke4life831]

Really hate this playcalling.
