I would've given this another Winner but it looks like he could've stayed on his feet; so I gave it a Love.

Wish there was more coverage of the defense. The Vikings have a one of the best OLs in the NFL.

I love the "5 sacks" stat like they don't know Maye can move

Reading through the tweets doesn't sound like our ok is having a great day but since the d doesn't actually sack our O has still made some plays. Sounds like Diggs is having his best day. Sounds like Chism is still making some noise and now it's with the 1s a little. Boutte and Pop each had some plays too.

Also sounds like our DL is doing well and Jones had a pick. But sounds like JJ also had his moments too.

Five sacks??

Five sacks??

From everything I've read, Williams gets open. Are the incompletions due to bad throws or bad route running? Can it be the Maye hasn't yet adjusted to Williams' speed?

Looks like Diggs, Douglas and Henry with Henderson at RB on 3rd down is a pretty good group to be throwing to. Boutte slots in as, at worst, a solid #3 receiver. Chism continues to show up. Offensive line seems to be solid enough, hopefully can be league average.

I think if they can stay healthy that Josh, with Drake’s development, can get a good passing game going this year.

We need to trade for a Backup QB.

No way. Someone is either available now or will be.

I think that's more for grading the OLs performance. I think you just call out what happens if you think a player had a chance at a sack you give him credit. If Drake and WR still make a play you give them credit too. Its subjective and I'm sure the film helps sort some of it out but I just think you take what you can from it.

I think the latter.

Unlike Washington, which was a bottom 5 defense last year, Vikings were top 5. Last year the offense would have been embarrassed in a joint with the Vikings.
Progress being made.
