Mike and Ed take a look around the league, the North Face, and break down a frustrating loss to Kansas City
Around the League
- Dolphins are tanking – or maybe not, iunno
- Steelers are fighting – 8-8 might make AFC wildcard
- Seahawks get about all they can handle from Tampa Bay
- Wow… Browns gotta figure something out
- Ravens prove that the Patriots have had an extremely soft first 8 games
- Also, Lamar Jackson is ridiculous
The North Face
- They all lost
- Raiders win slugfest v Detroit – Raiders also fighting for playoffs
- Bears lose to Eagles – Eagles making a run?
- Chargers SHOCK the Packers… get it… SHOCK
- Green Bay has a lot of talent but small margin of error remaining for them – not nearly as good as their record indicates
- North is still open, but missed opportunity
- 2 team race – Vikings and PAckers
Vikings – Kansas City Recap
Complete systematic failure of a loss
Offense
- Adam Thielen re aggravated injury – Shut him down til after bye?
- Offensive play-calling was abysmal
- Was Dalvin Cook even in uniform?
- Laquon Treadwell – 3 / 5 – 58 yards, best game as a pro – 90+ PFF grade
- OL was Dominated all day by backups
- Kirk Cousins failed when his number was called – He’s not why we lost, but he had a chance to take us to a win
Special Teams
- Dan Bailey misses XP that proved critical – meant being up by 4 versus 3 late in a battle of FGs
- Shanked punt by Britton Colquitt didn’t help at the end
Defense
- Big plays were a problem
- Trae Waynes was TORCHED by Tyreek Hill constantly
- DL dominated point of attack, forcing fumbles and sacks
- OF COURSE Kansas City sets a longest rushing TD record against the Vikings
- I really don’t understand the coverage anymore – it’s a problem
Dallas (SNF) Predictions
- Iunno man – we’ll be in the building at least
- 4 of next 7 are prime time games – Kirk better figure out these big games quickly – Maybe the coaching staff as well?
- My preseason prediction was 11-5 (off-air) losing to KC, and 6-3 at this point in the season… At least we’re on schedule for that
