Re: Teddy returns against the Ravens Thread

I watched the condensed game tonight. Kind of an ugly game it wasn't anywhere near as close as the score. I caught that Isidora was in there for Sirles but didn't see Reiff went out. Hopefully Reiff for sure is gonna be ok.

The Running game got going and Murray had some nice runs.

Keenum was good enough. I wished he would have used his legs earlier in the game and just picked up an easy first down or 2 running the ball he did that later in the game to keep a drive going.

For a while I thought maybe we had found our kicker in Forbath an then he misses an XP. I'll take what he gave us today though it was a good performance all in all. This isn't on him but quit being cute and trying to pin teams by doing the short kicks. Get touchback and move on espcially the way the D was playing today.

The D was unbelievable. If you take away a couple silly penalties (and that INT) the Ravens would have looked really pathetic. They had 11 TFL and were all over Flacco a number of times.

The Bears won today but it was a fluke win with 2 defensive TDs and their offense was pretty pathetic. GB lost. The Vikings are in the drivers seat for the division if they can avoid any costly injuries and take care of business. They didn't play like a really good team today with mistakes and missed opportunities but the talent is there. Wright has a solid game filling in for Floyd and Diggs and Treadwell has shown some decent game.

I have not watched the game, but listened to it and it sounded like another ugly win.

How did the OL do after Rieff and Sirles went down? I am glad we have upgraded depth. Getting live reps for Hill and Isidora is a good thing in a win. Isidora likely will be our RG next year and who knows if he shows good at LG maybe he could stick there since I was not a big fan of Easton. Easton would be a great back G/C though.

If you like watching good Day the Vikings it's worth watching the game they were everywhere.

I rewatched the condensed game at watched closely the oline for the new guys coming in. I didn't see any kind of drop off when Isadora was in. There was that 3rd and 1 they didn't get that bugged me but that was soon after Hill had come in. Another play Suggs got around Hill and McKinnon made a nice move to avoid him. Otherwise it seemed like Hill was fine and there were a few plays he seemed to have Suggs locked up on the pass rush which is no small task. I hope Reiff's injury isn't a big deal though. Hopefully we get someone back because it's getting thin now. It sounded like Sirles was doing alright in the locker room.

What a pathetic call and ruling. We are 2 years away from the NFL becoming a flag football league...

I am sorta fine with it. Harrison Smith is one of the best in the league at getting in his hits clean. Sendejo is not. IMO the reality is that if the NFL doesn't do what it can to try and clean up its game it won't really survive thrive anyway.
