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.

    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.

    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.

      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).

    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.
