Malik is the Dobbs for packers lol. Let's see if history repeats in game 3 and it all falls apart.

[@purplepainforums]

I would say it's different in that LaFleur has actually game planned to Malik's strengths. Realizing he's not Jordan Love and opting for a heavy run attack. KOC tried to make Dobbs run the Kurt Cousins offense, and all the Vikings fans made excuses saying you can't change the playbook mid season. Someone forgot to tell LaFleur. But also, even if true, then why did they sign a QB like Dobbs and not someone that was like Cousins Flacco .

[@blaowtousai]

There is a certain something about your tastes in pics for the comments section...not sure...what...exactly. Now, having beaten both the Texans and the 9ers, there's only a couple things I can see beating us. The KC Chafes, The Buffalo Bills who are looking fire right now...or... Having battled out these last 2 heavyweights back to back, and not saying that the Giants aren't physical as well, We're so battered from these games that the Jets or the Packers turn into a trap game for us. As long as our play callers can keep throwing some fresh stuff in and teams can't figure out our schemes, our defense will continue to ruin not just the odds makers in vegas, but the opposing teams too.

[@668771]

@@brianshorrorcorner9890 Losing to the trash Packers in NOT an option. It would remove any momentum from our last 2 wins. GB isn't very good, they're a middling team. 10-7ish team. We are a 17-0 type team. Write that down, you heard it here first. Its going to take some luck and an allstar team to beat us. Only we can beat ourselves.

[@farm7911]

Have you guys ever talked about the coaching tree flores is under? Or is his scheme homemade?

[@mrmayortheiv]

He's technically part of the Belichick coaching tree (one of the only successful ones). Not sure how much he actually carries forward from that though.

[@farm7911]

@mrmayortheiv right I knew that, but was curious if there was an old coach of his or somebody else he gets scheme from or if he's the tree that's growing this scheme?

[@billhicks808]

Belichick/Parcels defense. Parcels used a full 3-4 to keep teams guessing whereas Belichick turned it into an amorphous defense that ran both 3-4 and 4-3 fronts with either man or zone behind it. The way Flores is disguising things is different though. He'll literally have the line backers act like safeties, safeties like cornerback and cornerbacks like linebackers.

[@iamdebirdie]

​@@mrmayortheiv Definitely belicheck tree and probably the most important carry over is the concept of the game-by-game base defense. His scheme is different for every player/team they're going against

[@fantasygurulegend]

You guys are leaving out the most important aspect. He's using concepts that he got from a college coach that people aren't doing in the NFL.

[@chittybang131]

Any comments regarding how porous the Vikings pass defense is? Is it due to garbage time chunk plays or are the Vikings just lucking out with poor QB plays due to pressure at the line? I was trying to find quarter by quarter passing yards stats to see what the first half passing looks like vs. second half but came up empty handed.

[@fantasygurulegend]

The important stat is Points Against. The Vikings defense is 2nd in the league for PA. We are only allowing 10 pts per game at the moment.

[@chittybang131]

@@fantasygurulegend Makes sense. I saw their EPAs looks really good so maybe that is the better stat to gauge the defensive performance rather than pure pass yardage.

[@fantasygurulegend]

@@chittybang131 I dug a little deeper and found the info you are looking for. First of all a good site for this is Pro-Football-Reference. When you are looking at the Vikings look towards the bottom and you will see either "advanced defense" or "defensive splits". Defensive splits is what you are looking for they break it down by quarter. We are giving up the most passing yardage by far in the 4th quarter and in the 2nd half of games. Check out that site and scroll around you will see what you are looking for.

[@geeleeskolvikes]

Will Levis stands flat footed in the pocket. Not sure how that works? Obviously not very well so far in the NFL. The Flower gets the most out of his QB's by playing to their strengths, sort of like KOC. The Titans did not do that with Willis. They made him run "the system", which he didn't do that well with the Titans.

[@hunterwalthers9449]

Flag on the play. Declan made the same prediction as Judd which you are not allowed to do. Furthermore he took the prediction a step back. It would be like predicting Aaron Jones will rush for 50 yards after Mackey predicted he’d rush for 145
