Thursday Night Football: Vikings vs Rams

[VectorPrime]

I see these teams and all I can think of is that they seem in a total different class.

That is the 2018 NFL, and our defense is full of slow run stuffers who can't stop the run. It's going to be a long year for this defense.

I was referring to tonight's Vikings-Rams game. It's basketball, not football.

Remember when we played the Rams in 2016? Remember how terrible they were on offense? Feels like ages ago now.

When you're not allowed to touch QB's or WR's this is what you get. This game is simply symbolic of where the game is going. The Patriots have not adapted. A lack of talent at the skill positions and no team speed on defense is not a recipe for success in 2018. It worked in '01, but it cannot work today.

LA won’t be called for block in the backs

 

[TheRainMaker]

Glad they picked up the flag. Why is it Safolds fault Sandejo runs in front of him and turns his back?

 

[IllegalContact]

His arm is still great. His strength has never been the deep ball though occasionally he's decent with it. Brady would never be the greatest of all time if it was measured by his deep ball prowess.

His ability has eroded.....he needs to put more and more air under the ball

The holding call on Rhodes that got him the unsportsmanlike was a ****ing joke

If true, that sucks all around. Once it starts getting into a routine of games ending 48-35 with quarterbacks completing 75-percent of their passes for a million yards, I'm done as a fan.

Yea just like the Jaguars in 2015 and us beating them 51-17

Given the rules, where else can the game go? The 320 lb NT and 260 lb run stuffing LB are going the way of the center in the NBA.

When guys like Carson Palmer and Eli Manning have more career passing yards and touchdowns than Joe Montana..tells you all you need to know about the nature of the league in the last 10 years or so. It’ll be interesting to see how HOF voters will treat the inflated numbers going forward.

Looks like Belichicks draft notes...I see "Jordan Richards, second round value" on here...

High character though.

It'll go someplace I won't follow. There's no excitement in an unbalanced game that is all offense and passing yards/touchdowns come too easily. Goff has five touchdown passes before the end of the third quarter. Bleah.

I’m no expert, but I feel like maybe the 255 pound linebacker shouldn’t be covering wide receivers anymore.

Not on defense. If the Pats defense played like the Vikings/Rams the board would be having a meltdown.
