Vikings vs Browns (2 Viewers)

[Man In The Box]

With all of the money that is invested in an NFL team these days, I can't for the life of me figure out why there isn't someone on the sideline or in the booth whose only job is clock management. It's abundantly clear at this point that 90% of NFL head coaches have no clue how to do it.

 

[SameSongNDance]

I wonder who actually started Crow.

 

[Slapdash]

Kizer with two good plays in a row

 

[Slapdash]

I wonder who actually started Crow.

I have him started in a standard where Fournette and Lynch are both out.  On the bench in two others, I went heavy after Crow this year

 

[sho nuff]

I wonder who actually started Crow.

Nope....about ready to drop him...and then he will do this to make me keep him and go back to sucktitude.

 

[Biabreakable]

VIkings deense not playing well.

 

[oddsbodkins]

VIkings deense not playing well.

These wonderful London games...

 

[Biabreakable]

Kizer with the QB sneak against weak Vikings defense.

 

[oddsbodkins]

Minnesota would have another 30 if they called a TO earlier. Now, they have 40 seconds for two knees. What a game!

 

[Biabreakable]

Linval Joseph got pushed back about 3-4 yards on the TD,

Very unlike how he has played all year so far.

 

[Football Jones]

Kizer's TD celebration.

LOL.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Nope....about ready to drop him...and then he will do this to make me keep him and go back to sucktitude.

Trading him ~ a month ago was probably the best decision I've made all yr. Love not seeing him on my roster

 

[SameSongNDance]

Why

 

[efactor]

VIkings deense not playing well.

Yeah, looked like a FF feast going in. Not so much now. 

I suck at streaming defenses.  

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

I think Trent Green has taken one too many shots to the head.

 

[Slapdash]

Treadwell really lucky he didn't screw that up more

 

[oddsbodkins]

Jet got them those 3 points. Treadwell doing London things. 

 

[Biabreakable]

Treadwell makes the catch to set up this FG, but he tried to give the ball to the Browns defense after the catch?

No idea what he was trying to do there. Got lucky.

 

[Slapdash]

Surprisingly entertaining half

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Treadwell really lucky he didn't screw that up more

Yes

They may have caught a break there, looked like ball may have come out while he was in bounds. Not sure but I think him fumbling it forward then out of bounds is a 10 sec runoff

 

[chad in Indy]

Vikings final drive is all on the Browns coaching staff for horrible use of timeouts and leaving WAY too much time on the clock.  There is no excuse for NFL coaches' ineptness on clock management.

 

[SameSongNDance]

I wouldn't be too worried about McKinnon yet.

 

[Slapdash]

Vikes would do well to go with him as the hot hand in the 2nd half.  He is hitting the holes much faster/harder than Murray

 

[Johnny Rock]

Nice drive by Keenum and Vikings. Love getting points at the last second.

Vikings win this going away in the 2nd half. #skol

 

[Biabreakable]

Yeah, looked like a FF feast going in. Not so much now. 

I suck at streaming defenses.  

There has been some miscommunication, but mostly just lacksidasical effort on the defense.

Very uncharacteristic play by them so far. Hopefully Zimmer can get them focused during half time.

The whole team looks like a bunch of tourists aside from McKinnon who seems to have some focus.

eta - Adam Theilen playing well as usual.

 

[Slapdash]

Yes

They may have caught a break there, looked like ball may have come out while he was in bounds. Not sure but I think him fumbling it forward then out of bounds is a 10 sec runoff

Probably should have been reviewed.  I agree it didn't look like he was out of bounds before he fumbled.  May have not even been a catch.  And he wasn't even trying to get out of bounds.  So bizarre.

 

[Rogi]

I wonder who actually started Crow.

This is the 1st game I decided to bench him so it makes sense that he's having his best game of the season.

 

[Rogi]

There has been some miscommunication, but mostly just lacksidasical effort on the defense.

Yep.  Defense looks slow today. 

 

[oddsbodkins]

Love that 3rd and 6 pattern there. Thielen runs it 4 yards deep while cutting back towards the LOG. Terrific. 

 

[Biabreakable]

Well looks like the half time really got the Vikings focused...

 

[Biabreakable]

Griffen loses contain on the run.

 

[Biabreakable]

Njoku with an inexplicable drop.

Kendricks blown coverage.

 

[TripleThreat]

So Cleveland 

 

[Biabreakable]

Man the Browns just keep shooting themselves in the foot. Missed field goal.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Shaping up as another patented close Browns loss.

 

[The Jacket]

Has there been a worse 5-2 team in NFL history? 

Good Lord, the NFL is in utter shambles. 

 

[SoBeDad]

I wonder who actually started Crow.

In CBSSportsline, 34% started him. Big leagues, bye weeks, lack of depth at RB. He's also been trending up from a few weeks ago. He and Duke are the same age - 24. He's a good runner on a bad team.

 

[Biabreakable]

Case Keenum. God of poorly placed throws.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Has there been a worse 5-2 team in NFL history? 

Good Lord, the NFL is in utter shambles. 

I can see the Vikes and Lions losing just enough to keep the Packers in it, and Rodgers coming back to seize the division.

 

[Hov34]

Why in the hell would England want the NFL???

 

[Slapdash]

Kizer is starting to feel it

 

[The Jacket]

Why in the hell would England want the NFL???

As a native Brit, if the last few years of NFL games in London were my introduction to the sport, there's no way in hell I'd even dream of paying it much attention in future. 

If they REALLY want to broaden internationally, they need to start offering prime matchups. 

 

[Biabreakable]

Good defense by Njoku there to prevent Newman from getting the interception.

The Vikings defense just getting pushed around. Missing tackles, stupid penalties.

Browns take the lead again.

 

[TripleThreat]

Gets collisioned? Really Trent.

 

[SoBeDad]

Has there been a worse 5-2 team in NFL history? 

Good Lord, the NFL is in utter shambles. 

Has there been a worse 4-3 team than the Dolphins. A negative 60 point differential and 2 shutout losses. 

 

[Johnny Rock]

Hue Jackson looks defeated. Gotta be tough being 1-22 but he looks like he wants to be fired after the game.

 

[The Jacket]

Has there been a worse 4-3 team than the Dolphins. A negative 60 point differential and 2 shutout losses. 

For sure. It's bad. I had to check the standings and make sure a team like them or some similarly bad team wasn't also 5-2. 

Even the Ravens at 4-4. How in the world does a team that averages like 120 yards per game eek out that record. 

 

[Slapdash]

How does Cleveland not use both Duke and Crowell in the backfield near the goal line.  With a running QB there is so much opportunities to create mismatches

 

[mr roboto]

L Murray is the Kyle Rudolph of RBs. 

 

[Biabreakable]

Theilen with a great move and catch.

Murray looks like he did in every other game besides last week again.
