Re: 2022 Regular Season
We’re a bad 3-1 team.

Re: 2022 Regular Season
crazy ending
defense is still suspect, duke said it on the general board - we aren't generating any pressure. even goff and dalton can carve you up if you give them enough time
offense stalled out in the redzone too much. change a couple of those field goals for tds and its a different game. also need to protect kirk better, he got hit a lot today
i don't know what to do about dalvin. he got 20 carries which is a decent amount but not very efficient

Re: 2022 Regular Season
Maybe PFF and some of the other analysis sites disagree, but I still think our line sucks. Cook didn't get a ton of space to work with, and it feels like Cousins gets big pressure straight up the middle -- at which point he goes fetal like Jim Everett -- on every third or fourth throw.
Secondary isn't much better, and we don't get much pressure ourselves, and those are bad deficiencies in the modern NFL.
In short, this is a mediocre team at best, and yet it's not out of the question we could still win the next three to go 6-1. Which would only be painting over rust, but still. That's kind of wild.

Re: 2022 Regular Season

Re: 2022 Regular Season
for a while anyway, then the defense fell apart (which i fear will be a theme all season), but we got the win!

Re: 2022 Regular Season
To be fair, the offense also sort of took a break there. After the first three drives, they didn't do anything until the last drive. But yeah, we got the win and we're 3-0 in the division.
Next week is Miami, I wonder who their QB will be?

Re: 2022 Regular Season
if we finish the year 6-6, we're still a 10 win team
some perspective from one of the kfan radio guys that probably makes me feel too good about our prospects. but i'm going to ride the good vibes wave while we have it

Re: 2022 Regular Season
5-1! wooooo
a lot of bend but don't break defense in the first half but they made a bunch of big plays in the second half. turnovers and sacks all over the place
offense did just enough. no wasted yards, either 3 and out or a score

Packers lost again. Now we have a 2.5 game lead in the division.

We got him hermes! TJ Hockenson. I have no idea how good he's been in the NFL, but he was obviously a high draft pick.

Re: 2022 Regular Season
since we're buyers at the deadline, i'm taking that as a good sign that the team thinks they have a chance to make a run

Pulled another one out of our butts. Packers lose again. Vikings with a pretty big buffer going into the tough part of the schedule.

Re: 2022 Regular Season
The NFC championship would be a pretty good result for this team, I think. They don’t seem like a Super Bowl team but if they win a couple playoff games I’d be happy.

I think we could have an epic collapse (record-wise) and still win the division.
