WK 08 ~ Lions Week ~ Discussion, Pressers, News, etc.
We're headed to Detroit to take on the Lions. This game is really an important one. (Well, actually, they are all. IMO)
Here's to staying undefeated after taming those Kitties!

This was really good. And a super revelatory point from @minakimes: The Vikings have inverted the surprise factor on defense. The blitz isn't a surprise. It's when they DON'T blitz. As a result, in some ways, their outcomes are BETTER when they don't blitz than when they do. https://t.co/P72TXfnJPD

Mina always does her homework: its the unpredictability that is the chaos maker. The lame ass national talking heads always miss this point and focus solely on the blitzes.
If the Vikings’ plan to fix the offense was to acquire Daniel Jones, I would have serious concerns about the judgement of everyone involved in that decision. https://t.co/HWtfI5EPEm

Yup, one of the most consistent Vikings haters of all. If the Vikings ever win the superbowl he will tell you why they shouldn't have!

Prisco doesn't explain how. He thinks past results indicate the same future. Yeah, somebody will eventually figure it out. But here is the thing, this one is a bit different. As Cricket shared on the one video yesterday, the defense isn't giving tells. They aren't playing a coverage, they are playing routes and probabilities. And they can adjust so quickly because of the high IQ.
IMO offenses are going to have to become unpredictable and deviate from their system. Flores has relinquished control to the players on the field. That is revolutionary in the intricate systems of today. Do you see any offensive coordinator doing that?
Maybe a version of the K-gun with Kelly and Thurman Thomas could.

Highest pass rating in the redzone, min 15 attempts? Strange that Kyler made the cut.
