Game 2 – Purple People Eating

Not dogs or cats. Purple people. Worried about this one. Minnesota is certainly much more talented than the Jets and they have legit playmakers. Short week. East coast flight. Early start time. Road game. Madden curse. CMC on the IR.

A game like this should be fairly easy, but I think we struggle. A positive last week was we didn’t commit the usual boatload of penalties. No turnovers. As ever these are key.

Then again I really don’t know much about the Vikes defense other than DC Brian Flores likes to mix up coverages and he blitzes a lot. They lost Hunter and got Van Ginkel?

In other news, trade Brandon Allen to Miami for RT Austin Jackson. I don’t think Tua is gonna play anymore.

  2. Winder's avatar Winder says:

    These injuries are truly troublesome looks like our metal will be tested every week, more so than usual. Moved out of Oregon yesterday and am in Lemoore CA for a few days and then onto Pensacola Fl. Probably my last adventure. Anyway where I am now they have a monster big TV so I get to watch on that. Beats my 13in apple.

    Go Niners.

    Wow. Lemoore is deep in the hinterlands. 1,000 years ago I did HVAC work out there. one summer. Hotter than biscuits . . .

    You retiring out there in Fla?

  4. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Figures. We finally run a stunt and get burned on a 16 yard run.

  5. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Should be a good game, takes Brock a series or two to get in a rhythm. I am not worried about the first few calls.

  6. Winder's avatar Winder says:

    caught a break on that punt.

  7. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Bosa called the penalty before the refs

  8. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Huge fuckup there!!! Big break.

  9. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    And the hold. Deeebo again.

  10. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    Goddam special teams! Blocked Punt WTF!!!

  11. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Nice stand by the D. Darnold is getting time and they are gonna screen our zone defense all day.

  12. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    That and penalties. Stupid return by Deebo.

  13. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Fucking Shanny is throwing too much.

  14. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    2 offsides in a row?

  15. Winder's avatar Winder says:

    It doesn’t look like we understand the Vikes defesnse yet. All our passes are well covered no separation

  16. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    nice call by Shanny there.

  17. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    hate that call. Run the goddamn ball

  18. Winder's avatar Winder says:

    Gutsy call but we should have taken the points.

  19. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Fuck, when the opposing QB is throwing from the end zone you should blitz

  20. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Minn isn’t stopping the run . Shanny is.

    this game is going just like I thought.

  21. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    Damm I liked going for it and Vikes stacked the box and it was tipped going to Jennings it’s football but a run option play/pass option might have been better..

    God dammit are secondary sucks 97 yards TD for Jefferson inexcusable they have no idea how to stop him!!

  22. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    He should have never gotten that pass off

  23. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Geee is Purdy struggling under

    pressure?

    Shanny being really stupid today

  24. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    They are not in sync on Offense, Vikings D is definitely better than the Jets.

  25. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    Can they play any worse? Fucking looking like shit! Penalties are killing them !!Fucking Aiyuk can’t get set is inexcusable he’s a dumbshit so far in the season!

  26. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Shanny getting out coached

  27. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Warner to the rescue!

  28. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Minn keying in the run now. Pass

  29. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    Warner keeping them in there by himself! Best LB in football 🏈 sure needed that interception! Both Shanny &Sorenson getting schooled! Get some blitzing going and double team JJ

  30. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    there you go.

    if we go soft on D I’m gonna scream.

  31. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    Atleast Kittle &Warner&Mason have shown up to play! Kittle TD!! Back in it as bad as they have played..

  32. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    this defense is fucking bullshit

  33. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    why would we toss Wilks and play the exact same soft cover d?

  34. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Jesus. We are running the same soft zone as last year.

    Why change the coaching staff and play the same shit? Sure, we are doing better against the run, but this inability to stop teams on 3rd down is awful. Darnold has WAY too much time.

  35. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    For all the garbage, we are down 6. Pressure fucking Darnold!!!!!

  36. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    This defense is really depending on our 4 to beat their 5.

    It worked there.

  37. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    Vikings dial up blitzes and sack Purdy where’s are sending some Sorenson! Darnold way to much time to throw..

  38. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Blocked punt, fumble almost on a return, WTF is going on with special teams

  39. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    What a break keeping the ball as Cowing muffs the punt!Special teams are dogshit today..

  40. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Well they certainly aren’t the Jets

  41. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Kyle better dig deep into his bag of tricks. Cause whatever he is calling isn’t working

  42. Winder's avatar Winder says:

    We look flat out terrible.

  43. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    only solace is that Dallas is down 42-19

  44. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Wow, better to get a crappy game out of the way early in the season

  45. Winder's avatar Winder says:

    Purdy looks lost out there.

  46. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    This is going to be overturned.

  47. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    How in the hell do the V make plays on 3 rd down and the Niners struggle to convert on 3rd down

  48. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Jesus fucking Christ. This soft defense is working so well.

  49. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    I don’t think I have ever seen Kyle use a hurry up offense, let’s hope this game he has a plan

  50. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    His plan better be to get rid of Sorensen.

    this is the same fu I g defense that lost the super howl

  51. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Not enough time to score twice!!

  52. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Well this game sucked,

  53. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    And we still can’t win in Minnesota

  54. Winder's avatar Winder says:

    What the fuck kind onside kick was that, weak sauce.

  55. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    This went just like I thought. Shanahan was terrible with the play calls. This defense is untenable. Soft. Way too much confusion on the back end led to 2 TDs,

    • Winder's avatar Winder says:

      yeah, we played terroible today. Even Purdy just stood there and got sacked his first two years he would have scrambled out of some of those.

  56. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    My issues before the season were poor line play, the soft defense, and special teams.

    None have been addressed.

  57. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Terrible game, with lessons to be learned.

  58. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    I can’t believe the Raiders won

  59. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    yeah the schedule and parity make picking games impossibl

  60. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado says:

    For shit and giggles, I decided to watch a ‘Niners game . . . Are you fucking kidding me? Shanahan is brain dead, i.e., I’m not saying I hate him, but I would unplug his life support to charge my phone. For example, why in the hell did he forgo the 4th down play (with a chance to win the game) for an onside kick???

    Glad your blog is doing well Unca, as at least that provides solace for the 2 hours plus I wasted watching the 49ers.

  61. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    They needed 2 scores. That was actually the only fucking decision he made that I liked. He brain-deaded his whole way through the game.

    Our defense is gonna be comepltely wasted this year if this is our scheme.

    • blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado says:

      My bad . . . You’re correct (didn’t see the subsequent Viking FG at 6 or 7 minutes before the game ended and got distracted at home, until the end of the game, i.e., still thought it was 20-14 Vikings).

  62. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    This was one of the worst coached games Ive seen out of Shanahan. Add to that the defensive scheme is such a waste of our talent.

    We FINALLY have a pretty deep secondary so naturally we don’t push the pass rush like we should. We are in a perennial prevent defense. DeMecco Ryans routinely blitzed Warner. He’s a destructive force on blitzes. But no, we drop him into coverage so we don’t give up the big plays. Well, except for the 97 yard YD.
