Postmortem - Seattle v Twin City Cemetary Club

[Sibelius Hindemith]

So now everyone that doesn't agree with you about everything wants Milroe to be the QB?

[trharder]

One week we win 26 to 0 and the guys screaming about shitty offense and calling for Milroe are rational. Week one the guy that after 12 games leads the entire fucking league in yards per attempt? He has 88 yards passing inside the two minute warning. And I was irrational for thinking we shouldn't have done that....IN A GAME WE LOST.

Again. Fuck off.

That's a very short post for you. Only one person has mentioned Milroe and we aren't even sure they are serious.
It's ironic you are still butt hurt people told you to calm down about the offense after the first game, but you
are quite confident in your condemnation of the present concern about the offense.

No, just the ones that said that. You didn't read any of that? If you didn't say it, it doesn't apply to you. Read the comments. Again, I've bothered with this way more than need be. Be upset with 26 to 0 and the best record in the NFC. Sure is odd when I'm upset we lose to the Niners I'm the fool. But all the hand ringing today is fine. Again, only in this place.

If the post is too long trharder? Don't read it. Won't bother me a bit. Again, Fuck Off.

I usually don't.

We saw what it looks like when The Darnold is pressured by a good D when we played the Rams. We will likely have to beat
the Rams twice to progress in the playoffs. And the 49ers are pissed I even wrote that, and they should be.
Those are the "mythical teams" I'm concerned with. Do we need others?

It's going to get real after the Falcons game. I know full well The Darnold is our only hope. I'm not butt hurt about that.
I'm glad it's him and not Geno. The conservative mode is okay I guess when you have the lead and the D is playing lights
out, but we saw what happened when we fall behind in the Rams game. I will love to eat crow if I'm wrong and the
offense steps up when needed.

I read a couple of articles explaining how the Vikings were loading up on Seattle's right side - usually against the (young) tight ends and using stunts on them creating a lot of confusion among the entire right side. The younger TE's inexperience was getting exposed. That makes a lot of sense. Also, always a savvy move to target Bradford hahah. I think that line can learn a lot from this experience. MN does have a legit D. Maybe the olin coaches need to step it up, maybe that is where the weakness lies. It's doubtful we see that elaborate style again - or if we do, they will be better prepared for it. Could turn out to be a blessing in disguise as far as accelerating the learning curve of the young guns and the oline staff figuring it out before the playoffs.

I was hearing similar things on the radio. It's over my head, but the eye test confirms Darnold never really had a
chance much of the time. I also wonder if we are missing Sundell more than first advertised. The thing about this
part of the season is teams start to know you. There's now plenty of tape of the Rams and Vikings making things
miserable for The Darnold. I still think they should encourage and scheme to have Sam move around more...

This team has been consistently good. Mostly held together by a stiff glue of a defense. I remember when
virtually every backup or 3rd string QB playing the Seahawks would have their career-best day. This was the
opposite. This is a thoroughly different team these days, in a good way. They will still need to take one step
forward to go all the way. They may, but the obvious problem spot is Sam and the offense.

Vikings laid out the blueprint. Now we'll see if Kubiak has the answer.

I agree about moving Sam around - makes a lot of sense. There was one play where the Vikings ran that overload stunt and someone came through totally untouched. Seems to me when you have a blitz with that many players heading upfield - they are vacating a lot of open field - why did we not have someone right there? If Darnold simply rolls right, wouldn't that be a huge opportunity to hit a big play? Don't we always get fucked on those kinds of plays? Throw to the area the defense is vacating. I;m less concerned the problem is Sam and more the oline getting outmaneuvered. Yeah, bradford needs to go, but this is the lineup now, so we need to scheme better to offset that weakness.

Someone on here mentioned they thought Seattle went into conservative mode after Sam got rocked - that it made little sense to play into the Viking's strength - another position that makes a lot of sense and shows this staff is dialed into the micro AND the macro - taking the dub's as they can, while trying to correct outstanding issues - something the previous administration failed to do and it got so ugly.

Yes, but you also have to have the personnel to execute that. Now Seattle will have tape on those formations and schemes and can implement counter measures. I don't think many defenses can scheme as well as Minnesota or the Lambs, probably add SF in the mix. God this division is a blood bath again and I love it.
