One talking head all in on vikings

[Guest]

Need to clean up the penalties, 11 today was way too many.

I guess I wasn't all that impressed with our play today.  But, considering the talking heads only look at the scoreboard, I'm sure we look like world-beaters to them.

Very unimpressive
as far as BLOW OUTS go

A blow out was expected against a team that has given up and is missing as many players as they were.  11 penalties suggests that our team wasn't focused and that will cost them agaisnt a better opponent.

Before we switched over to watching the Eagles-Giants game, I was pretty much thinking the same thing...offense shot itself in the foot a couple times... OL hasn't been as sharp for the last few games...but, I'm happy with 11-3 and looking forward to getting the broom warmed up for GB...

Keep in mind: we're hyper critical as hardcore fans. We dissect and judge every play. Mostly, we are too close to the trees.

Maybe...but 11flags really put a damper on things...I didn't feel like we were crisp of O...ask me what we did particularly well on O...I got nothing...holding the Bengals way under 200 yards was pretty sweet...BRob with 2 sacks...the pick 6...Newman's int...looked like the Bengals were pretty flat coming off the Lewis announcement...

The offense had 346 yards, 35:52 minutes of time of possession (almost 12 minutes more than Cincy), 18 first downs...not great, but not crappy either. The 4 out of 12 on 3rd down wasn't good, for sure. 27 points on offense is decent and probably the best aspect of what the defense gave them. Keenum was highly efficient.

Again, not their best game but not something I'd be concerned about. Its not going to be a high powered offense like some others in the league, but more effective and efficient by design, with some consistent chunk plays each game.

We went against a decent team despite their record.  Good defense.  

And they know Zimmer.  

I felt like the win was dominant enough to make a statement.  We are a legit contender.
