It seems to me they are very predictable. Next game I'm going to keep track because I swear I know if it's a pass or run before the snap all the time. They also seem to throw the square in/ slant on third down way too often

Granted only 3 games - but the Vikings continue to redefine how to win football games. With AP out their running game is nonexistent - 2 yds/carry & slightly over 50 yds/game. Passing game is not that much better. Their time of possession is closer to the bottom of the NFL than the top.

Yet they are among the leaders in Yds allowed, Pts allowed, are undefeated & just beat possibly the 2 best teams in the NFC. Just goes to show that there is no substitute for talent on defense & it doesn't have to rely on a good running game on the other side. This may not be sustainable (although they have a favorable schedule), but I would make the same argument for the Pats if they had to play without Brady for the whole season.

Would be great if the Redskins had this kind of defensive talent. I still believe this is possible, but it may not be until 2018 or so.

Blount is leading the NFL in rushing. Brissett threw the ball 19 times.

Cousins is 2nd in the NFL in passing yards. Brees is 1st.

Let the analytics begin.
