Well, right it was a terrible throw. But the PI call would have been an INT had Rhodes turned around, too.

It wouldn't have been a terrible throw in 30- degree weather. Sendejo only gets credit because he could recover after getting completely turned around by the route. It was classic Sendejo pass defense bailee out by Smith/weather.

[Purple Reign]

He covered that pretty well, and Smith came in and swatted it down for good measure. Not sure what you expected Sendejo to do there.

No, he didn't cover that well. He got beat bad and was able to recover only because it was a bad throw.

That's a TD in normal weather. Sendejo got burned than stripped the ball out of Harrisons hands.

I didn't see it that way. It was incomplete. That's all that matters.

[PurpleKoolaid]

Rhodes has been playing and tackling pretty well. That PI was bad, but he is still having a decent game.

I wish we had an OC with a pair. Having a timid OC and QB is NOT a good combo. I like playing safe, esp. with a good D like we have, but Norv is overdoing it.

[TSonn]

Zimmer has the team prepared and playing solid football today. I hope he's got a fiery halftime speech for Norv.

[Crax]

scares me going into the second half up by only 3 points when it should be 10.

we are relying on our D like we have all year, but everyone get's tired. we need to keep Wilson off the field. Long drives or points need to happen in second half.

Same. It would be hilarious if the Vikings won this game 3-0 though. Offense needs to put a drive together and get some points.

Good: last time SEA held scoreless in 1H, rallied to beat GB in the playoffs last yr
Bad: they are 0-16 on the road since 2000 w zero @ half

Vikings D is playing lights out. Hard to fault Rhodes for that PI. Ball was well under thrown. That play by Kendricks.

[yezzir]

Zimm has been a master of halftime adjustments. What's to adjust on D? Not much if it all. The changes are in Carrols hands, how will we adjust to those?

[soflavike]

No, he didn't cover that well. He got beat bad and was able to recover only because it was a bad throw.

Okay, whatever... he's a bum, but he's our bum and he made the play with a little help.

[English_Viking]

Loving this game so far. Two good defences clashing. Pruitt has looked confident so far. Wilson has looked dangerous when throwing long though

[dead_poet]

Vikings have won every game this year when they've had the lead at halftime.

[Purple Reign]

I didn't see it that way. It was incomplete. That's all that matters.

Yes, that's all that matters, but no one should be saying Sendejo had good coverage.

[TSonn]

Okay, whatever... he's a bum, but he's our bum and he made the play with a little help.

Yeah and at least he turned his head around otherwise that might have been PI as well.

[yezzir]

If we win, it'll be because we stick with Adrian. His 5 yard runs keep the clock running and punish tacklers. If we score touchdowns I think it'll be Diggs and/or McKinnon.
